Ingredient

Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate)

A highly stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that helps support brightness, visibly reduce the look of discoloration, and promote a more radiant complexion.

What it does

Helps visibly improve uneven skin tone, support the look of radiance, and promote the appearance of firmer-looking skin by supporting healthy collagen. Less irritating than traditional L-ascorbic acid formulations.

Glow notes

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD Ascorbate) is a lipid-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, it is stable in formulation and believed to have superior skin penetration due to its oil-soluble structure. It functions as an antioxidant, helping defend against environmental damage, and supports visible brightness and the appearance of even skin tone. It is considered less likely to cause irritation compared to high-concentration L-ascorbic acid formats.

Skin goals

Brightening Healthy Aging Uneven Tone

Routine note

Can be used AM or PM. Pairs well with Vitamin E and ferulic acid. Always follow with SPF in the AM.
