Not All Vitamin C is the Same

The gold standard of Vitamin C. L-Ascorbic Acid is the most researched and bioavailable form, but also the most unstable. It requires a low pH (below 3.5) to penetrate the skin and work effectively. Best stored in dark, cool conditions and used within 3 months of opening.

The best all-rounder Vitamin C derivative for Indian skin. EAA offers exceptional stability even in warm conditions, making it ideal for a country like India where temperatures and humidity are high. It converts to pure Vitamin C upon absorption.

The dermatologist's choice for acne-prone skin. SAP has an added antibacterial property that makes it unique among Vitamin C derivatives — it actually helps fight Cutibacterium acnes (the acne-causing bacteria) while brightening skin simultaneously.

The hydration hero of Vitamin C derivatives. MAP is a water-binding form of Vitamin C that uniquely moisturizes the skin while brightening. It's the gentlest option available and works beautifully for dry and mature skin types.

The most stable Vitamin C derivative available. AA2G is formed by bonding Ascorbic Acid with glucose, creating an incredibly stable molecule that resists oxidation under virtually all conditions. The tradeoff is lower bioavailability, requiring enzymatic cleavage by skin glucosidases.
