About the vitamin C on the label
Vince's page headlines L-ascorbic acid, but its full ingredient list names sodium ascorbyl phosphate as the vitamin C. Both 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbyl phosphate are stable forms that do not go orange as fast as pure ascorbic acid. Without a stated percentage, you cannot compare doses.
Who should pick which
Pick Elluvi if you want a stated 10% strength and a serum without fragrance or colour, which matters for sensitive skin. Pick Vince if you prefer its scent or its bundles with the matching face wash. Neither brand has published independent clinical results for its finished serum.
