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...

This one is by far my favorite Ordinary product. I'm in my 30s and have combination skin (mostly dull and dry, but sometimes oily) that likes to break out from pretty much anything. I use this product with the HA moisturizer and not only it does not break me out- any breakouts from other products somehow heal faster. And my face doesn't look like i'm stuck in a never-ending hangover when I wake up in the morning. I've tried Buffet and Copper Peptide serums before and Ascorbyl Glucoside wins.
New bottle = dry, tight and itchy

I've been using this for about a year and was pretty pleased with the results until I started a new bottle. I've spent the past year building up how often I apply it, from once a week all the way to 5 times a week and it's just not comfortable any more. I have extremely dry skin and ever since I started the new bottle a week ago my skin has felt dry, itchy and tight. Maybe the ingredients have changed? Or the manufacturing process? Whatever it is I'm hesitant to keep using it. I'm going back to once a week and will see what happens.
Good product - I am happy with the results. :)

I have tried this product off and on whilst looking for a regime for my sensitive / oily / acne / rosacea prone skin. I am a pale caucasian 28 year old female and this product does not irritate my skin and leaves my face glowing and looking hydrated. I use it at night under azelaic acid. I am yet to try it under my supergoop mineral spf and under makeup. I just wish there was more scientific evidence on the effects of anti aging (wrinkling and fine lines) Anyway, good luck out there everyone!! Xx

Texture is easy to spread. No scent, not sticky after feel. My moisturizer SPF lotions spreads smoothly. Just started using this specific product, will await to see any results. Have been using this brand (different products) for about 2 years.
Great product!
