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...

I wanted to love it
I really wanted to love it like all the ordinary products but this one burned my face pretty bad and left a red reash after. I am a huge fan of the retinol and the moisturizer but I guess my skin just didn't agree with this one.
Did not work for me

I started using this after a bad reaction to the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% product. I've used it for 7 months now, but haven't noticed a difference at all, sadly. I.e. no difference to hyperpigmentation and no visible skin brightening effects. My skin tone is tanned/south asian.
Love it
This was the first The Ordinary product I used and I love it. It makes my skin look healthy and glowing
Very impressed

I am very impressed! Due to inflammatory reactions on my skin and also enjoying to much sun this last summer I had developed dark spots all of a sudden, that sadly would't go away. And they aged my face with 5 years. I have been using it for two full weeks and I only use it in the morning with a spf on top of it, my skin looks a lot beter. The spots are still there but they have faded a lot. And they still are. Even my skin tone is a lot more even, which I was not full aware of that I didn't have it anymore. So happy with my skin right now, it is looking beter and clearer by they day and my dark spots are fading away. Sound like an rime and it is but I am really happy with this! Thank you for this amazing product!
Love! Love! Love!
This vitamin C serum is amazing! It definitely smoothes and brightens my skin. It gives a little lift and feels smooth and cool on the face. Definitely would buy again! Has no fragrance. Easy to apply. Only need 2-3 drops to cover your whole face. Would recommend. Great for daytime skincare routine.
