Product Overview

The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F is a high-strength, oil-based Vitamin C derivative serum designed to deliver visible brightening and anti-aging benefits with minimal irritation. It uses Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that converts into active Vitamin C within the skin. Enriched with Vitamin F (essential fatty acids), this formula helps improve skin radiance while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it especially suitable for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.

Key Ingredients and Science

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (20%): An oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative that penetrates the skin’s lipid layer and gradually converts into active Vitamin C, providing antioxidant and brightening effects without the irritation commonly associated with water-based Vitamin C.

Vitamin F (Essential Fatty Acids): A blend of omega fatty acids that helps restore the skin barrier, improve hydration retention, and enhance overall skin resilience and smoothness.
