Ascorbyl Glucoside is a glycosylated stable Vitamin C derivative that is converted to free L-ascorbic acid in viable human epidermis1. In a 24-week double-blind half-face study (n=27), an ascorbyl glucoside complex significantly reduced the appearance of pigmentation on solar lentigos compared to placebo. That study used a 28% complexed concentration, while this formulation uses 2% ascorbyl glucoside2. Ferulic Acid contributes to the canonical Vitamin C antioxidant network. Ferulic acid has been shown to stabilise a topical vitamin C and E solution and double its photoprotection, an effect cited as mechanism-class plausibility because it has not been directly tested for the ascorbyl glucoside form3. Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid pairs surface and penetrating molecular weights for hydration4.

A RITUAL, CONSIDERED
Each formula stands on its own and belongs to the whole. Layered with intention, morning and night, the routine becomes unmistakably yours.
A twenty four hour rhythm
THE SKIN KEEPS TIME
Skin is not the same at midnight as it is at nine in the morning. Across a single day its temperature, its acidity and the moisture it loses to the air each move on a rhythm of their own. Morning and night are not two routines. They are one, kept in time.
