The ultra-low pH ensures that almost all 5% glycolic acid remains biologically active and can actually penetrate the skin. Glycolic acid breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells and accelerates natural skin renewal — which is essential for vitamin C, as smoother, cleaner skin can absorb active vitamin C much better. This way, glycolic acid not only works as an exfoliant but also acts as a penetration enhancer for the second hero ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthyl Ascorbic Acid (Stabilized Vitamin C):\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the most stable and best-tolerated derivatives of vitamin C, which is converted in the skin to pure L-ascorbic acid. Unlike pure vitamin C, ethyl ascorbic acid does not oxidize quickly when exposed to light and air, ensuring effectiveness throughout the entire shelf life. It inhibits tyrosinase enzyme activity and thus the production of excessive melanin, causing pigmentation spots to fade. Additionally, vitamin C neutralizes free radicals — the main cause of premature skin aging due to UV radiation and environmental factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAustralian Tasman Pepper (Tasmannia Lanceolata):\u003c\/strong\u003e A native Australian plant with exceptionally high concentrations of polygodial and aromadendrene, plant compounds with powerful antioxidant and soothing properties. Tasman Pepper is traditionally used to calm sensitive and irritated skin and has been scientifically studied for its ability to reduce irritation caused by active ingredients. In this formula, it helps the skin better tolerate the combination of glycolic acid and vitamin C, with minimal redness or sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilk Proteins:\u003c\/strong\u003e A natural combination of amino acids derived from silk fibers that provide the skin with a moisture-binding, soothing film.

The difference lies in the focus. The original Liquid Gold is the all-round anti-aging exfoliant — targeting fine lines, elasticity, texture, and overall skin renewal. Liquid Gold + Vitamin C is specifically developed for brightening: it contains additional stabilized ethyl ascorbic acid and native Tasman Pepper to fade pigmentation spots and even out skin tone. Choose the + Vitamin C variant when pigmentation and dull skin are your main concerns. Choose the original variant when fine lines and overall skin renewal are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I switch from the regular Liquid Gold to Liquid Gold + Vitamin C?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, at any time. First finish your current bottle to stay within the PAO (period after opening) and then switch exactly the same way: three evenings per week on alternating days. You don’t need to let your skin get used to it again because the glycolic acid component is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo I still need a vitamin C serum during the day if I use this product?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, both have their own role. Liquid Gold + Vitamin C is your evening boost of vitamin C and exfoliation, mainly focused on pigment inhibition and cell renewal. A daily vitamin C serum in the morning provides continuous protection against UV damage and oxidative stress throughout the day. For optimal results, use your daily vitamin C serum + SPF in the morning, and Liquid Gold + Vitamin C on exfoliation evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes vitamin C work well at such a low pH of 2.8?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, exactly right. Vitamin C, specifically ethyl ascorbic acid, works best in an acidic environment — a pH between 2.5 and 3.5 is scientifically the most effective range for absorption and action. The low-pH formula that activates glycolic acid is therefore also ideal for vitamin C. This is one of the reasons why this combination is so powerful: both hero ingredients function optimally in the same pH environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow long before I see results on pigmentation spots?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe first glow and brighter skin are usually visible after just 3 nights. For a concrete reduction of pigmentation spots, consistent use for 4 to 8 weeks is necessary. In the clinical trial, 92% of participants reported lighter skin after 4 weeks, and 81% saw a decrease in the visibility of pigmentation spots. Deeper, long-lasting pigmentation spots such as melasma may require 12 weeks or longer for optimal results — daily SPF use is essential in this case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs the tingling with Liquid Gold + Vitamin C different from the original Liquid Gold?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo, the sensation is similar. The tingling comes from the active glycolic acid present in both products at the same concentration and pH. The Tasman Pepper also helps to reduce any sensitivity, which is why some users find the + Vitamin C variant even slightly milder than the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I combine this product with retinol?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, provided you use an over-the-counter retinol and apply cycling. The recommended routine: Monday evening Liquid Gold + Vitamin C, Tuesday evening retinol, Wednesday evening rest with a neutral moisturizer, Thursday evening Liquid Gold + Vitamin C again, and so on. Never combine them on the same evening. For prescribed retinoids (such as tretinoin), combining with Liquid Gold + Vitamin C is not recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs this safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes. Both glycolic acid and ethyl ascorbic acid and Tasman Pepper are safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For many women, Liquid Gold + Vitamin C is actually a solution during these periods, when melasma and hormonal pigmentation spots occur more often and retinol or hydroquinone cannot be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I use Liquid Gold + Vitamin C during the day as well?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe recommend evening use for two reasons: glycolic acid temporarily makes the skin more sensitive to UV, and the skin regenerates most during the night. Additionally, the product works without anything applied over it — during the day this is impractical in combination with SPF and makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes this product also work on pigmentation spots on hands and décolleté?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAbsolutely. In fact, it is one of the most effective ways to treat age spots on the hands and décolleté — areas that often get more UV exposure than the face and therefore show discoloration faster. Simply apply the remaining product on the cotton pad to these areas after the face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha H","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56635752382795,"sku":null,"price":57.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6908\/7307\/files\/99730396a1e7fc8c114f48ae949c320fb06270d8.jpg?v=1779226269","url":"https:\/\/webshop.glamskin.nl\/en\/products\/alpha-h-liquid-gold-vitamin-c-100ml","provider":"Glam Skin Webshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
