Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F

Product Overview

Combine the power of clinical brightening with the luxury of deep hydration. The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F is a high-strength, oil-based serum designed for those who want significant anti-aging results without the irritation of direct acids. This formula features Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, a highly stable, oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C that effectively converts into pure Vitamin C upon contact with the skin. Supported by Vitamin F (essential fatty acids), this solution targets dullness, uneven skin tone, and signs of aging while reinforcing the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it the ultimate brightening treatment for dry or mature skin types.

Key Benefits

• Advanced Brightening: High-strength 20% concentration delivers noticeable radiance and glow.
• Oil-Soluble Stability: One of the most stable forms of Vitamin C, ensuring the product stays potent over time.
• Barrier Support: Infused with Vitamin F to nourish the skin and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
• Low Irritation Potential: A gentle alternative to pure L-Ascorbic Acid, perfect for those who find traditional Vitamin C serums too harsh.
• Anti-Aging Power: Targets the look of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting natural skin proteins.
• Tone Correction: Effectively balances the appearance of uneven skin tone and minor discolorations.
• Deeply Hydrating: The anhydrous (water-free) oil base provides a protective cushion of moisture.
• Antioxidant Protection: Helps defend the skin against environmental stressors and free radical damage.
• Non-Greasy Finish: Despite being an oil-based serum, it is lightweight and absorbs to leave a soft, supple feel.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Formulated ethically with high-purity clinical ingredients.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• 20% Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate: An oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. Because it is oil-soluble, it has an excellent affinity for the skin’s natural lipid barrier, allowing for deep penetration and conversion into Vitamin C without the acidic "sting" of water-based formulas.
• Vitamin F (Ethyl Linoleate): A blend of essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) that are critical for maintaining a healthy moisture barrier. It helps to soothe, hydrate, and improve the overall resilience of dry skin.

• Sensitive Skin: Individuals who want high-strength Vitamin C results without the irritation of pure Ascorbic Acid.

FAQ

Q: Is this stronger than the 12% Ascorbyl Glucoside?
A: Yes. At a 20% concentration, this is a much more potent derivative. However, because it is oil-soluble, it remains very gentle on the skin.

Q: Can I use this with Retinol?
A: Yes! Unlike pure Vitamin C, this derivative is highly stable and can be used in the same routine as Retinoids, making it excellent for a comprehensive anti-aging nighttime regimen.

Q: Why is it in an amber bottle?
A: While this derivative is stable, the amber glass protects the formulation from UV light to ensure the Vitamin F and Vitamin C actives stay fresh for as long as possible.

Q: Will it make my oily skin feel greasy?
A: If you have very oily skin, you might prefer a water-based formula like Ascorbyl Glucoside. This product is specifically optimized for those who enjoy the feel and nourishment of a lightweight oil.
