It also oxidises quickly after opening, turning the product orange and losing its potency. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid works at a skin-neutral pH, penetrates efficiently without needing the low-pH environment, is highly stable in the bottle, and causes none of the irritation. The trade-off is that the concentration (2%) appears lower than a 15% L-Ascorbic formula — but the delivery is more efficient and the skin tolerates it far better.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\n        \u003csummary class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use it morning and evening?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-a\"\u003eYes — unlike pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid does not cause photosensitivity, so there is no restriction on morning use. Always follow with SPF in the morning regardless of which Vitamin C form you use — this is a good skincare habit that Vitamin C amplifies rather than creates. Evening use works well alongside other actives.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\n        \u003csummary class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003eHow long until dark spots fade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-a\"\u003eThe antioxidant glow effect is visible from the first week. For existing dark spots and post-blemish marks: visible lightening typically begins at weeks 4–6 with daily use. Clear improvement in overall tone evenness and pigmentation is visible at weeks 8–12. Deeper pigmentation (hormonal, sun damage) takes longer — 3–6 months of consistent daily use. Combining this serum with SPF 30+ every morning significantly speeds up the process by stopping new pigmentation forming.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\n        \u003csummary class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use it alongside retinol or AHAs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-a\"\u003eYes — Vitamin C and retinol are often used as a pair (Vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night) to get antioxidant protection during the day and cell turnover overnight. With AHAs, apply the Vitamin C serum first (thinnest texture goes first), then your AHA toner or treatment. Avoid layering multiple actives directly on top of each other on the same application — give each one a minute to absorb before the next.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"The Beauty Clinic Club","offers":[{"title":"30g \/ 1.06 oz","offer_id":53512471085399,"sku":"195304","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7471\/4455\/files\/hero-3d_10855041073495_bottle.png?v=1783367024","url":"https:\/\/thebeautyclinicclub.com\/products\/vitamin-c-serum","provider":"The Beauty Clinic Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
