✅ Evaluation & Tips

1. Stable Vitamin C Form:
   3‑O‑Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is known to be more stable than pure L‑ascorbic acid, allowing for better shelf life and less irritation—while still providing good brightening and protective benefits 

2. Hydrating & Calming Formula:
   The combination of hyaluronic acid, aloe, and chamomile makes this serum suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

3. Potential Cooling Effect:
   Mint gives a refreshing sensation, though it may be a slight irritant for very sensitive skin.

4. Twice‑Daily Use Advisory:
   For daytime, pair with SPF to protect your skin, especially because vitamin C can increase sun sensitivity.

🔍 How It Compares

• L‑ascorbic acid vs. derivatives:
  Pure L‑ascorbic acid (10–20%) is widely recognized for fast-acting brightening and collagen support re:lax skin store. Derivatives like 3‑O‑Ethyl Ascorbic Acid are gentler and more stable, making them ideal for those with sensitivity.

• Concentration matters:
  While high-purity L‑ascorbic serums (10–20%) can be more potent, they often cause irritation. This serum offers a milder yet effective alternative because of its stabilized form.

📝 Bottom Line

Relax’s Radiant Vitamin C Serum is a balanced, gentle, and hydrating option. It's ideal if you're looking to brighten, hydrate, and calm your skin without risking irritation. However, if your main goal is aggressive brightening or anti-aging results, a traditional high-concentration L‑ascorbic acid serum might deliver stronger effects—though with a higher chance of irritation.
