Description
Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA-2G) is a highly stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivative created by binding pure L-ascorbic acid with a glucose molecule. Standard ascorbic acid rapidly oxidizes and degrades when exposed to heat, light, air, or neutral pH levels. Through glycosylation, AA-2G offers exceptional formula stability while preserving the powerful antioxidant and skin-rejuvenating benefits of traditional Vitamin C. Upon application to the skin, natural skin enzymes (alpha-glucosidase) gradually convert Ascorbyl Glucoside into active L-ascorbic acid, delivering a sustained release of antioxidant protection with significantly reduced risk of skin irritation.
Key Benefits & Mechanism of Action
Controlled Antioxidant Protection: Gradually releases active Vitamin C to neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and defend against environmental stressors.
Targeted Brightening & Tone Evening: Inhibits melanin synthesis in melanocytes, helping to fade hyperpigmentation, age spots, and post-inflammatory acne marks.
Collagen & Anti-Aging Support: Stimulates collagen synthesis in dermal fibroblasts, improving skin elasticity, firmness, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Photoprotection Enhancement: Helps mitigate UV-induced cellular damage and erythema when combined with broad-spectrum sunscreens.
