... I was hesitant to order this and use it because my skin gets oily and I didn't want to add anything that would resemble oil onto my face, however, I'm so glad I did. I've only used it twice but with the lactic acid 10% + HA, my skin is noticeably more even in tone and brighter and more glowy. I have sensitive skin but I wasn't irritated by this at all and the it doesn't take that look to soak in if you use it sparingly and work it into your face
Strange feeling I've been using this product for 2 months now. I notice that my dark spots and acne scars have faded nicely. Not sure whether that is due to the vitamin C or the alpha arbutin. Either way, I like the effect.
What I don't like is how this product feels on my face. It pills up a lot, which is a rather strange feeling when you apply a skincare product.
I will keep using this but I don't think I will repurchase.
I dont know if I was using it wrong? 1

I really wanted to like the product since I am loyal to the brand and the ingredients sounded like the solution to all my problems.
However, my experience wasn't pleasant. Every time I would use it, it left a strange, urine-like smell on my hands, and the product would oxidize on my skin and made my complexion look yellow and my blackheads darker. Unfortunately, despite ignoring the unpleasantries and following the instructions, I did not see any brightening on my dark spots. I have to note this is something strange because I've NEVER had a bad experience with The Ordinary until I tried this. If I could get a recommendation on what to do or explain why is this happening I would really appreciate it.
Not sure of this product. 3

I have just started using ordinary in my skin care routine. This goes on feeling smooth from the bottle but as soon as I put it on my face, it starts to feel gritty and I believe that it is my skin sloughing off. It's just a little bit and does not cause any irritation or breakouts or anything like that. This is only day three that I've been using it so I will continue and see if that eventually stops.
Can this be mixed into a moistrizer? 3

I really want to incorporate this product into my routine but it is too oily on my skin and leaves my skin very sticky, I'm wondering if I can mix it into my moisturizer since that would make it less sticky. But I am worried if this is going to affect the efficacy.
Could've been a great product but….. 2

The ordinary products are great, other than few hiccups. But when it comes to vitamin c they always get it wrong. The packaging always should be in an airless pump, if not the product doesn't last or lose the effectiveness.

This product gave my face tingly and slightly burning sensation. I have normal to sensitive skin. I didn't notice a huge difference after a couple of months..
