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...

Great product!
Definitely helps eliminate redness & evens my skin tone. I keep mine in the fridge, not sure if you're supposed to, but i think it being cold helps with my skin. I noticed a difference after 2 days. I apply it every morning & it lasts about 2 months for me
Love it!
I've been using this serum for a few weeks, and it's fantastic! My skin looks brighter, more even-toned, and feels great. It absorbs quickly and layers well with other products. A great, affordable option for a vitamin C boost!
I know the ordinary works… just not on my skin
I mean it's affordable it's just too strong for my 54 year old Latino combination post menopause skin. I wish I could use this affordable reputable product however I am sticking with cosrx thanks to Laura sales associate at elmwood location in harahan Louisiana… she's awesome she tested recommended products on my skin… it sunscreen, Clinique moisturizer, Cosrx too.. very happy with level of customer service
Works wonders on VERY acne prone skin
I use this almost every night after experiencing a HORRIFIC month long breakout episode. I had very textured, discolored, acne prone (cystic & hormonal), oily skin and this product has helped with every issue. My acne scars have faded in the past 3 weeks of consistent use, and I havent had another breakout even during my cycle. This is an amazing gentle exfoliatiant if your skin isnt too sensitive or dry. I only use this once a day at nighttime combined with the Ordinary's skin barrier serum and salacylic acid serum for the daytime. Ive never found anything thats able to do what this product has done for my skin. With these 3 products, my skin has completely been renewed and I hope this never gets discontinued!
