Overall, we think SAP is a goody! In terms of anti-aging, it's probably not as effective as pure Ascorbic Acid, but it's totally worth a try. Another popular choice is the Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum, and all of these contain vitamin C in the form of SAP. One of the best-selling (vitamin C) serums in Sephora is the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum, while on Amazon it's the OzNaturalsВ Vitamin C 20 Serum. With this combination treatment, the improvement was 29.28% after 4 weeks and 63.10% after 8 weeks of application.ДЄside from research studies, anecdotal evidence also supports SAP being a promising vitamin C derivative. A nice double-blind study from 2009 showed that 5% SAP reduced the inflammatory lesions by 20.14% and 48.82% within 4 and 8 weeks respectively and when combined with 0.2% retinol the results were even better. In fact, the results were comparable or even slightly better than with 5% benzoyl peroxide.ДЄnd there is even more regarding SAP and acne. acnes and it also showed in vivo (on real people) that 5% SAP can strongly improveВ the inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris. A 2005 study showed in vitro (in test tubes) that 1% SAP has a strong antimicrobial activity on evil acne causing P. As for skin-brightening, there is a trade publication with in-vivo data showing that SAP can fade brown spots.ДЄnother thing SAP might be able to do is to help with acne. SAP might also aid collagen boosting В in-vitro (made in the lab) data shows that it works, but is less effective than another vitamin C derivative, called MAP (that seems to be as effective as pure AA). We have better news regarding the three magic abilities of vitamin C: there is in-vivo (tested on real people) data showing that SAP does have photo-protective (aka antioxidant) properties, though less than pure AA. Regarding conversion to AA, there seems to be no data about it, so we can neither deny nor confirm it. Unfortunately, it seems to be limited, or to quote a great article from theВ Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 'topically applied ascorbyl phosphate salts are, at very best, poorly absorbed in comparison with AA'.

The challenge with it thoughВ is skin penetration. SAP (the vit C derivative, not the enterprise software, obvs) is a promising derivative that has great stability up to pH 7. It's worth a try, especiallyВ if you are after Vitamin C's skin-brightening effects. Overall, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a very promising but not a fully proven Vitamin C derivative. On top of manufacturer claims, there is also clinical in-vivo (tested on real people) data showing that 2% EAC can improve skin tone and whiten the skin. The strong point of EACВ thoughВ is skin brightening.

EAC seems to have both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and it's claimed to be able to boost the skin's collagen production. Regarding conversion, we can cite onlyВ a manufacturers claimВ saying thatВ EAC is metabolized in the skin into pure ascorbic acid (and the ascorbic acid content of EAC is very high - 86,4% - compared to the usual 50-60% Vitamin C content of other derivatives).ДЄs for the three magic abilities of Vitamin C, we again mostly haveВ only the manufacturer's claims, but at least those are very promising. We have good news regarding the absorption: on top of manufacturer claims, there is someВ data (animal study) demonstrating in can get into the skin, and it seems to be better at it than Ascorbyl Glucoside, another vitamin C derivative. However, for a Vitamin C derivative to workВ it's not enough just to be stable, they also have to be absorbed into the skin and be converted there to pure Vitamin C.
