Ingredient of the week: L-ascorbic acid

Ingredient of the week: L-ascorbic acid

Posted By Mariana

Ascorbic acid, also known as L-ascorbic and topical vitamin C remains one of the buzziest ingredients in skincare. This water-soluble antioxidant and one of the most common forms of the vitamin can be found in numerous skin care products. 

But keep in mind that a higher percentage of vitamin C doesn’t mean that the product is better. For our skin to properly absorb and get the best of this powerful antioxidant it must have a concentration between 10 to 20%. The higher the concentration the lower is the skin absorption. The low pH of ascorbic acid will also promote skin rejuvenation decreasing the visible signs of aging and is a great antioxidant.

The effects of L-ascorbic acid can last several days. The use of products containing 10% L-ascorbic acid, results in the presence of the ingredient in the skin for 2-3 days after the day of application, increasing the level of collagen as well.



L-Ascorbic Acid products penetrate the skin tissue and are more active in collagen production. This, in turn, increases firmness in the skin. A rejuvenating vitamin ingredient that also plays a part in the reduction of photodamage caused by harmful UVB rays. Because L-Ascorbic Acid plays a major role in anti-aging treatments, skin firmness, overall repair and brightening, it also serves to rejuvenate the skin.




Although L-ascorbic it’s great on its own, it proves even more potent when combined with some ingredients. Ferulic acid for example fights free radicals to prevent and correct skin damage and extends the life and effectiveness of vitamin C.

Another powerful combination is vitamin C + E, together they are more effective in preventing photodamage. Both work by negating free radical damage, but each combats different types of UV damage, when using them together you are giving your skin double the antioxidant ammunition to fight free radicals and UV damage. 

While antioxidants can’t take the place of preventive sunscreen, they can boost your sun protection. The combination of vitamins E, C, and sunscreen increases the effectiveness of sun protection. This makes it a powerful combo in the fight against both visible aging and skin cancer.

Looking for the best of all worlds? Combine these 3 ingredients to get triple protective powers.
