I had such good results with the Vitamin C powder from The Ordinary that I didn't think anything could top it. After a year of constant use (along with daily use of the Mineral Factors and twice weekly application of the AHA peeling solution), my skin was so bright, so clear and any old hyperpigment...

Be careful with this at night time!
The product itself seems to work well for my skin (Dry-sensitive), leaving it smooth and glassy, which a reduction in the appearance of sunspots. HOWEVER, be careful using this at night/bed time.

after 1 week of use, I really love it, shows result after first application, and i started using only pm then come to know that can be used am and pm so using in am and pm both ordinary team please recommend which retinoid can I use with this at pm AS having a bunch of fine lines on forehead and which one layer first???
Gonna be a no for me...
Tried this and the HA moisturizer. Wow, my skin did NOT like this combo. I used for 1.5 months and my skin looks dry and dull. I drink 2.5 L of water a day, double cleanse, exfoliate, wear sunscreen. I threw out the remaining today and going to go back to my Biossance facial oil and Cetaphil!
So far so good
Verified Buyer
So far I really like this product. I layer it on top of the ordinary's niacinamide serum after it has dried down. My skin looks nice and glowy after. I love it. I have not used long enough to say it has helped with aging, but it feels good so far.
Great Vitamin C alternative
Not all Vitamin C products work for me--this product makes my skin feel soft and moisturized while safely delivering the benefits of Vitamin C. It probably depends on your skin type because if you have oily skin this may not work. But for the many of us that are easily irritated by Vitamin C with sensitive or dry skin, it's worth a try. This is one of my favorites and I hope they keep it in store
