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.

Brilliant for age spots

I have been using Ascorbyl Glucoside for a couple of months on the back of my hands and it has really made a difference to the age spots I've had for years. They haven't gone but they are so much lighter. It does dry slightly shiny, but I then use moisturiser and it's fine. A brilliant product.

It has left black bleach marks all over my white pillowcases and sheets from it rubbing off my face onto the fabric. I can confirm this also happened to another pair of sheets at a hotel I was staying at, where I was using the product.
Age spots on my hands are gone
Verified Reviewer

I was starting to show light age spots on my hands and arms. After repeated use and less than two months the spots are gone. I use it right after I shower, let it dry and had moisturizer or you end up with a slightly sticky skin and then shiny/cakey. Highly recommend!
OMG!!!

I've never written a review, yet here I am. This stuff has transformed my skin. I read that combining this form of vitamin C with Niacinamide does wonderful things. I have SUPER sensitive and acne prone skin (in my 60s!!). Within 3 days (no joke), my skin looked brighter and plumper. Since I started using this (over a month now), I have had zero (ZERO!) acne. I hope it continues and my skin won't "adjust" to its old, former self. WOW, just WOW. I find it feels oily even though it states it is water based, so I put the niacinamide on first, then this, then my spf moisturizer. Did I say WOW?!!!
