Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% Serum with Pure L-Ascorbic Acid

The people giving negative reviews obviously were just buying for the price tag, and not reading the instructions. The gritty texture is because the pure powder is within, and pure effective L-asorbic vitamin C will often cause discomfort and tingling. So they recommend you mix with your moisturizer to minimize discomfort. And if it causes discomfort , use 1-2 times a week, and see how your skin tolerates it. A lot of companies are selling you just something that feels good, and based on our lack of education on the matter, equate that to being effective, including a hefty price tag.

Tingly! I use it once a week by itself after I wash my face- a little little amount goes a long way. The feel and taste if you accidentally get on your lips is terrible but worth it as a night cream bc it works!!

I have been using this product for over 5 years- I mix it with Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum every morning, and my skin is radiant and smooth!

I don't know what all the haters are talking about, but this product worked great for me. It didn't smell at all. Maybe some people are using an expired or oxidized product? Got rid of dark spots and feels great.

The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 23% is a potent, affordable option for experienced users. Its gritty texture and potential tingle aren't for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin. Over time, expect a brighter complexion and reduced hyperpigmentation. Best used quickly due to oxidation.

I LOVE this stuff! It has done an amazing job reversing the sun damage I have and makes my overall skin tone noticeably more even. People don't know how to use it properly, you're supposed to apply it after your moisturizer. I use it every morning after my moisturizer then follow with my sunscreen and it works well under my foundation.

I’ve been using this product for over a year and have repurchased every time. Do not listen to the bad reviews, this is the number 1 product I recommend to people. The grainy texture is due to the hyaluronic acid (HA) spheres, meaning you MUST use it on DAMP skin. This bottle is legitimately, and I do not say this lightly, Botox in a bottle. The vitamin C brightens and the HA plumps, and the great thing about HA is that you literally see results within seconds after applying it.

the texture is grainy, doesn't penetrate (stays on top of skin) and makes face super greasy. Doesn't layer well

Very good c cream !very strong and great results . However i recommend only using in pm and not daytime as is greasy and causes pilling as it works !!

It's super oily on the skin. I like Ordinary, but I would never buy this again. Very disappointed
