Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C Serum by Ecooking is formulated for all, normal, combination, dry skin. Ecooking's take on vitamin C swaps the harsh L-ascorbic acid common in Korean and American C serums for ascorbyl glucoside — a stable, pH-neutral derivative that converts to active ascorbic acid on contact with skin enzymes. It's a fundamentally Danish approach: less aggressive, more considered, designed to layer under everything without fuss. The aloe-first base (aloe barbadensis leads the INCI, not water) delivers an immediate cooling glide, while sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA stack two humectants underneath the vitamin C for a hydration-first brightening strategy. Laminaria digitata (kelp) and chlorella vulgaris add marine and freshwater algae antioxidants that the Nordic clean-beauty shelf leans on heavily. At 20ml for ~$42, the per-ml cost is steep, but the formula is fragrance-free, preservative-minimal (sodium levulinate + potassium sorbate), and shelf-stable for 12 months — none of the oxidation anxiety that comes with pure L-AA serums.

The key active ingredients in Vitamin C Serum are Aloe Vera, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Hyaluronic Acid. It's known for: Ascorbyl glucoside is pH-stable and plays well with niacinamide, retinol, and acids — no layering conflicts and Aloe-first base (not water) adds genuine soothing and anti-inflammatory benefit from the vehicle itself.

The main drawbacks to be aware of: Ascorbyl glucoside is weaker than L-ascorbic acid — slower brightening results, lower peak efficacy; 20ml bottle is small — will last 4-6 weeks at daily use, pushing per-ml cost high; No ferulic acid or vitamin E to boost ascorbic acid stability/efficacy (the typical C+E+ferulic trio).
