Vitamin C is a well-known nutrient that has numerous health benefits. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular in skincare products as a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect and brighten the skin. However, not all forms of vitamin C are created equal, and some are more effective than others. One form that has gained popularity in recent years is tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THDA), a derivative of vitamin C that is particularly well-suited for use in skincare serums, which is why we utilize this ingredient at a healthy percentage in our Get Your Glow Vitamin C Oil.

Because it's oil-soluble, its skin penetration abilities are great - allowing it to successfully reach into the deeper layers of the skin (that is important to do some anti-aging work).  Studies have shown that THDA seems to have all three magic abilities of pure Vitamin C: it gives antioxidant protection from both UVB and UVA rays, it increases collagen synthesis and it has a skin brightening effect. It can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation, leaving skin looking more even and radiant. THDA is also less acidic than other forms of Vitamin C, making it less likely to cause irritation or skin sensitization.

In terms of application, THDA can be used in the morning and evening after cleansing and toning. Simply apply a few drops of the Get Your Glow Vitamin C Oil to the face and neck and massage it into the skin. It can be used alone or layered under a moisturizer for added hydration.
