Details:
VCE is the best currently-known derivative of vitamin C. It has very stable chemical properties. It can be metabolized in the same way as vitamin C in human body after entering skin, which enables it to play a better effect of Vitamin C. More importantly, VCE can permeate the Stratum Corneum and reach the Stratum Basale to produce more biological effects. VCE has been one of the best materials for whitening cosmetics.
