Products with Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is the low-level thickener that gives serums their gel body and keeps low-pH actives evenly suspended.

Why Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer Is in So Many Serums

The reason a serum feels like a soft gel instead of running off your fingers is usually a polymer like this one. Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is a thickener and stabilizer that builds viscosity at very low use levels, suspends fine particles so they do not settle, and tolerates the low pH that vitamin C and retinol formulas require.

That tolerance is exactly why it shows up in Revision Skincare's actives: C+ Correcting Complex, Retinol Complete 1.0, Vitamin C Lotion 15% and Revox Line Relaxer. SkinBetter Science uses it in Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum.

Does this polymer do anything for my skin?

Not directly — it has no effect on the appearance of lines or tone. Its contribution is indirect but real: a stable, evenly suspended formula delivers its actives consistently from the first pump to the last.

How to shop at ELLEMES

Buying from an authorized retailer matters most with pH-sensitive actives like these, where storage and stock rotation affect what you actually get.
