What is Ascorbic Acid?
Ascorbic acid is one of the most well studied antioxidants that offers a variety of skin benefits including skin brightening, firming and improving the look of lines and wrinkles. Naturally present in skin, ascorbic acid supports overall skin health. Ascorbic acid is sensitive to oxygen and light exposure, and as a result is often paired with stabilizers including ferulic acid and forms of vitamin E to prolong its benefits.
