3-EtAA (Cat No.: I020875) is a very useful vitamin C derivative. It is not only very stable in chemical substances, it is a non-discoloring vitamin C derivative, and it is a lipophilic and hydrophilic amphoteric substance. It has greatly expanded its scope of application, especially in daily chemistry. And 3-EtAA can enter the dermis and directly participate in the synthesis of collagen to repair the activity of skin cells, increase collagen, and make the skin plump and elastic, making the skin delicate and smooth.
