Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is a version of ascorbic acid, or pure Vitamin C.
This ingredient has many benefits including reducing wrinkles, skin soothing, dark spot fading, and fighting against free radicals.
It helps with dark spot fading by interfering with the process of skin darkening, helping to reduce hyperpigmentation. Like other forms of vitamin C, this ingredient encourages the skin to create more collagen.
As an antioxidant, it helps fight free-radicals. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells.
One study found Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate to degrade in sunlight, but is stabilized when combined with acetyl zingerone.
Learn more about Ascorbyl TetraisopalmitateFerulic Acid is a plant based antioxidant. By fighting free-radicals, ferulic acid can help reduce the formation of fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
When used with Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid has shown to prevent Vitamin C from breaking down. In other words, it acts as a stabilizer.
Ferulic Acid is sometimes used to preserve food. Foods containing Ferulic Acid include: oats, rice, eggplant, citrus.
In medicine, Ferulic Acid is being studied for helping with diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cardiovascular diseases.

innisfree Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Brightening Serum 36 ingredients
As someone with sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin, this is one of my favorite serums in my collection. I use this one almost daily every morning, unless I have an active breakout or my skin feels sensitive. It is very gently exfoliating yet hydrating and perfect for daily use - it is still a very gentle serum. It is good for beginners to vitamin c - this was the first vitamin c serum I ever used Show more
Got a sample of this and it completely threw my skin off. Not sure if my skin is just sensitive to Vit C or if there’s another ingredient in here that did it, but my face instantly started doing the burn tingles I get when something irritates me.
