Question
Could you please clarify the form (liquid/powder) and origin of the AA2G (Ascorbyl Glucoside) sold by MySkinRecipes? Does it require neutralization before use, and how does it compare to standard powder AA2G or versions from other suppliers?
Answer
Based on the staff's reply:
- The AA2G powder is sourced from Japan.
- It is then neutralized to a suitable pH and processed into a liquid form in a lab in Thailand.
- Their product is sold as a liquid that is already neutralized, making it easier to use.
- Standard AA2G is typically a powder that requires neutralization before use. Incorrect neutralization can lead to a loss of quality.
- The staff reply did not specifically compare their AA2G to a version from "Diethelm's", but explained the benefit of their pre-neutralized liquid form compared to standard powder AA2G.
