What DERMA KR Says
Product Description:
Skincare routine with DERMA KR Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% Face Serum, a potent elixir designed to transform your complexion. Formulated with a high concentration of ascorbyl glucoside, a stable derivative of vitamin C, this serum is your ticket to achieving brighter, firmer, and more radiant skin. Harnessing the power of ascorbyl glucoside, it delivers powerful antioxidant benefits to combat free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage. Ascorbyl glucoside also converts to pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) upon application, effectively brightening the skin, fading dark spots, and enhancing overall radiance. In addition to its brightening effects, it promotes collagen synthesis, helping to improve skin firmness and elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By inhibiting melanin production, vitamin C also works to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, revealing a more uniform complexion.

Key Ingredients
ascorbyl glucoside, sodium hyaluronate
Ingredients Details
Ascorbyl Glucoside
Common Name(s): Aa2g,2-o-alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid
CAS Number: 129499-78-1
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides stable gradual-release vitamin c activity for brightening and antioxidant protection.
Why It's Used: Most formulation-stable vitamin c derivative โ ascorbyl glucoside remains stable in aqueous formulations where pure ascorbic acid oxidises within days, providing sustained vitamin c delivery over weeks of shelf life.
How It Works: Alpha-glucoside bond resists oxidation until cleaved by skin alpha-glucosidase enzymes. releases free l-ascorbic acid in viable epidermis. released ascorbic acid inhibits tyrosinase, stimulates collagen synthesis, and provides antioxidant activity. glucose group provides enhanced water solubility vs ascorbic acid.
Typically Found In: Stable vitamin c serums,brightening products,anti-aging
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ stable vitamin c glucoside
Secondary Functions: Tyrosinase inhibitor,collagen cofactor
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ enzymatic synthesis from ascorbic acid and glucose
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetically produced vitamin c derivative.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Tocopherol,ferulic acid,niacinamide,spf
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Ascorbyl glucoside's stability advantage (18+ months in aqueous formulation vs days for ascorbic acid) arises from the glucose group's steric protection of ascorbic acid's c2 enediol that is the primary oxidation site. glucosidase cleavage in skin removes this protection in situ, releasing active ascorbic acid only where enzymatic activity exists โ providing both formulation stability and bioactivation where needed.

Sodium Hyaluronate
Common Name(s): Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid,naha
CAS Number: 9067-32-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides hyaluronic acid hydration in the most formulation-stable and compatible form.
Why It's Used: The standard form of ha used in cosmetics โ more stable than free ha, better solubility, and equivalent skin hydration benefits.
How It Works: Sodium salt reduces the polyelectrolyte repulsion of ha chains, allowing better packing in formulations. on skin, sodium ions dissociate and the ha chain unfolds to its full water-binding conformation. provides full ha humectant and barrier benefits equivalent to free ha.
Typically Found In: Hydrating serums,toners,moisturizers,sheet masks,anti-aging products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ ha sodium salt
Secondary Functions: Equivalent ha hydration,superior stability
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ bacterial fermentation
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
The sodium salt form of ha has approximately 10% better water solubility than free hyaluronic acid at equivalent molecular weight due to reduced chain-chain electrostatic repulsion from partial sodium counterion screening. this improved solubility enables higher concentration formulations without viscosity issues.
