What it does

Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a water-soluble, stable salt form of Vitamin C. Unlike L-ascorbic acid, it does not oxidise quickly and is well-tolerated by sensitive skin. It converts to ascorbic acid on the skin, delivering antioxidant and brightening benefits. It also has documented anti-acne activity by reducing P. acnes bacteria.
