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.

Pills with everything
I really wanted to love this. I wanted to try a stronger vitamin C I tried this at least 12 different ways. Even when I'm having just having a sunscreen day it pills. I pills under makeup. I've tried applying it to damp skin, I've tried applying it to dryer skin and it still pills throughout the day. I give plenty of time to dry and never use too much product and it still seems to pill. I did love the way my face looked as soon as its on, it is very sticky, and it dries down okay. but man does it suck in about an hour if you put something it doesnt mesh well on top of it.
BEST VITAMIN C ALTERNATIVE
i absolutely love this product because it helped me out of months and months of what i thought was incurable dermatitis and then this came along and it's my absolute fav i've gone through at least 4 bottles now THANK YOU ORDINARY!💗


Great for my complexion
Goes on lightweight and smooth. Noticeable improvement in my dark spots and uneven tone since I've started using this product. Doesn't burn or irritate my skin like other Vitamin C solutions have in the past.
Excellent serum
Works every time to clear out hyperpigmentation. I will keep buying this serum. Thanks ulta.
Best way to fade scars!
I use this product after my prescription acne product in the morning, and before my SPF. This serum has faded my once-prominent acne scars, and my skin tone is even. Powerful, but doesn't irritate my skin at all. I hope they never stop making it!
