Formulation view Water-based serum featuring 10% L-ascorbic acid, paired with niacinamide and potassium azeloyl diglycinate. Hyalur glycol matrix with xanthan gum for a gel texture. Oil-free and light. Ideal for skin with good tolerance to high-dose vitamin C. Formulator's note: L-ascorbic acid is highly unstable; the absence of traditional antioxidants like Vitamin E places critical reliance on airtight, light-blocking packaging and cold storage to prevent degradation and irritation.
