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. It has left black bleach marks all over my white pillowcases and sheets from it rubbing off my face onto...

Works wonders!

I bought this product a few months ago and have been using it since then. I am very impressed by this product. It was suggested to me by the Deciem regime builder. It makes my skin look very bright and removes dullness. I pair it with Marine Hyaluronics every morning and they have been my go to products for having a clear, hydrated, bright skin. Would definitely recommend it.
Rosacea sufferer
I currently have my acne rosacea under control , but my skin is dull and dry. I live in a cold climate which makes matters worse. Anyway, I used this product for the first time last night. In the morning, when I went to wash my face and put my foundation on, something was happening. I began to see dead skin starting to roll off onto my hands. It is not pilling. The product was no longer on my skin. It was a sign that it is working! I continued to rub off the dead skin and reapply my moisturizer and foundation. My skin feels softer and looks a tad smoother. I plan to start carefully and use only a few times a week at first in hopes of not angering my rosacea. My skin still seems calm. I hope to update with glowing results!
Works wonders on cystic acne
I have suffered from cystic acne since I was about 13 (I'm 27 now and still struggling…) but I swear that this has saved my skin. I have combination, sensitive skin and I almost exclusively break out on my chin. I had found a routine that was working ok but I'm also a healthcare worker so I spend all day in a mask, which has been incredibly detrimental to my progress on my skin. I started using this almost 3 months ago and at first I had some purging, but over the last month my skin has seriously transformed. I've hardly had any cystic breakouts even when I'm sweating under an N95 all day 😅 my scars and hyperpigmentation have faded and my skin is glowing. I use this every other day cause I don't wanna overdo it, but I can't recommend this product enough. Try it if my skin type resonates with you, especially at such a great price!
Amazing product for the price

This product does wonders for the skin. I've been pairing this with a Niacinamide serum for the last year and a half and have seen wonderful changes in my face. The main thing i've noticed is that a lot of the hyperpigmentation and scars that I had in the past have faded and are barely noticeable now. I also have very sensitive skin and am prone to breakouts, but this solution is very gentle and paired with the niacinamide, has actually helped reduce my acne in general. One thing to note, as with any skincare product, it takes TIME for things to start working and for your skin to start changing on the surface. I truly believe this is a phenomenal product for the price and will continue to use and recommend!
