๐Ÿงด Formulations featuring Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

โ˜… 9.4
Tea Tree Oil Pimple Gel
Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Pimple Gel
Treatment

An incredibly robust, multi-acid acne treatment gel. By combining Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Mandelic Acid with pure Tea Tree Oil, it forcefully digests the keratin plug blocking the pore while simultaneously neutralizing the bacterial infection. What sets it apart is the massive inclusion of Cica extracts (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid) and Vitamin C to completely suppress the redness and prevent the pimple from leaving a dark brown scar smoothly.

Glow-C Super Boosting Serum
Cosmoderm
Glow-C Super Boosting Serum
Serum

A highly potent, stable Vitamin C derivative serum using Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. The 5000mg claim sounds massive, but in a 30ml bottle, it equates to roughly a 16 percent concentration, which is clinically excellent for aggressive brightening. It features Panthenol and Lactic acid to provide gentle hydration and pH buffering. However, the inclusion of Orange Essential Oil means it carries a strong citrus scent and poses a potential risk for contact dermatitis in highly sensitive profiles.

Glow-C Brightening Moisture Solution 1000mg
Cosmoderm
Glow-C Brightening Moisture Solution 1000mg
Moisturizer

A highly energizing, lightweight daily moisturizer that doubles as an antioxidant shield. Formulated with stable Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Panthenol, it provides a functional dose of Vitamin C to ward off daytime pollution while actively hydrating dry patches. The texture is a beautiful bouncy gel-cream that sinks in effortlessly. However, because it contains a dense blend of four different Citrus Essential Oils (Orange, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Lemon), it carries a very strong scent and is not recommended for compromised or rosacea-prone skin.

Glow-C Brightening Eye Gel
Cosmoderm
Glow-C Brightening Eye Gel
Eye Care

A fast-absorbing, silicone-heavy gel designed to instantly blur the under-eye contour. It utilizes Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to slowly fade melanin-based dark circles over time while Witch Hazel provides a slight astringent effect to temporarily tighten puffiness. However, applying high concentrations of Citrus Essential Oils directly to the extremely thin, sensitive periorbital skin is highly controversial and poses a significant risk for stinging, watering eyes, and contact dermatitis.

โ˜… 9.6
Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 20% Serum
The Raw.
Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 20% Serum
Serum

A breathtaking achievement in local Vitamin C formulation. Pure L-Ascorbic Acid oxidizes rapidly in tropical heat, turning brown and irritating the skin. The Raw bypasses this by utilizing a staggering 20 percent concentration of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, the most stable and effective Vitamin C derivative available. This allows for clinical-grade collagen stimulation and spot fading without the low-pH acid burn. The massive botanical load ensures the skin remains completely calm while the active vitamin works flawlessly.
