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.

You know how you drink a LOT of water and it makes your skin look all luminescent? This had the exact same effect. My skin looked so healthy and bright! I swear my face looked like it was actually sparkling.

I got this for free for my birthday from a store, ive been wanting a vitamin c serum for a while cause i heard and read good things about it for skin care. Ive been using it for less than a week and i love it, my skin looks great so far
Bad product from a great line

I wanted to like this so badly, but I should've listened to the reviews saying "you get what you pay for." The product does not go on smoothly, I personally didn't see any benefits after use, and it clumped upon application. I do LOVE The Ordinary, but this one just was not it. It didn't do any harm or aesthetic damage to my skin so I don't want to give it one star.
