There are different forms of vitamin C in skin care, and L-ascorbic is just one type. They mostly fulfill the same roles on the skin and are only different based on their structure and stability.
The “L” in L-ascorbic refers to the chemical structure of the type of vitamin C, and how it reacts when exposed to light. L-ascorbic is a very active form of vitamin C and it is bioavailable, but it can be unstable, and can oxidize if not properly formulated.
Other forms of topical vitamin C may be more stable, but they must be converted to L-ascorbic before they’re of use to the skin.
