Ascorbic Acid

Low risk

FunctionAntioxidant

What it is — Ascorbic Acid (INCI: Ascorbic Acid) is an antioxidant.

What it does — It is commonly used as an antioxidant and pH adjuster.

Typical use — It is used in serums, essences, creams and eye products, commonly to help defend against everyday oxidative and environmental stress. It complements sun protection and a consistent routine rather than replacing either.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types. Antioxidants are typically used as a supporting part of a routine rather than a standalone fix. Store antioxidant products well, as some can degrade with prolonged light and air exposure.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
