AA2G
AA2G is a stabilized Vitamin C derivative (L-Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside) synthesized from Vitamin C and starch by enzymatic technology; it supplies Vitamin C continuously in the skin, brightens and evens skin tone, promotes collagen synthesis, provides antioxidant and UV-protective effects, and is more formulation-stable than free Vitamin C.
