Why Most Vitamin C Serums Lose Their Sparkle
Typical vitamin C serums are made with ascorbic acid
which oxidizes quickly and can decay within months. In other words, much of the potency can be lost while the bottle is sitting on a shelf.
Ascorbic acid is also more acidic and irritating to your skin.

The Gold Standard of Vitamin C
