Application
As an efficient and gentle whitening and anti-aging core ingredient, VC-IP is the preferred ingredient for high-end efficacy skincare, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and niacinamide intolerant skin. Its transdermal absorption rate is 16.5 times that of water-soluble vitamin C, which can quickly penetrate the stratum corneum and be hydrolyzed into active vitamin C by enzymes in the skin, continuously exerting its effects. Its formula compatibility is extremely strong, making it one of the core ingredients in the trend of "oil nourishing skin".
