3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid(Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C Ethyl Ether, VCE) is a reliable and versatile Vitamin C derivative (ascorbic acid) that provides a wide range of benefits for the skin. This modified molecule has more stability compared to the pure Vitamin C.
Various sodium-depended proteins helped in converting the 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid into Vitamin C within the skin. The conversion is a slower process, making it more tolerable. Thus, it is best for skin that cannot tolerate products with high-strength Vitamin C (above 10%).
