🎯 At a Glance
🔬 How It Actually Works
The sodium salt of ascorbic acid. It provides the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C but is highly water-soluble and stable at a neutral pH, eliminating the stinging burn of pure L-Ascorbic Acid.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Protects against UV stress, mildly brightens, and supports skin health.
💡 Pro Tip
Excellent for sensitive skin that breaks out in rashes from low-pH serums.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
It builds collagen exactly like pure Vitamin C.
The Science
Because it requires conversion, its collagen-stimulating properties are vastly weaker than the pure acid.
