Ascorbyl glucoside is a kind of vitamin C which contains the stable component of glucose. When a formula containing ascorbyl glucoside is applied to the skin, it is hydrolyzed by glucosidase, an enzyme naturally present in skin cells. This process releases vitamin C in its natural, active form. When vitamin C enters cells, it results in significant well-documented biological responses. It has been demonstrated to be hydrolyzed over a prolonged period, resulting in a maintained cascade of physiological benefits for the cells and tissues. Compared with other vitamin C derivatives, ascorbyl glucoside is a more stable and gentler option, making it easier to formulate with and suitable for sensitive skin types.
