- Q
What moisturizer do you recommend as a final step after using this serum? Sometimes serums do not play well with my foundation or other makeup. They will cause my make up to look peel-y or sit funny on my skin.
- Asked by LRinTN
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! We would recommend starting with Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA but we do have other moisturizers that may be more suitable depending on your primary skin concerns. For example; Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides (a thicker moisturizer) or Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan (gel-like moisturizer).Was this answer helpful to you

Okay it actually seems to work?!
For reference: My skin type is oily combination, prone to dehydration, dealing with hormonal cystic and nodular acne for ~10 years. I don't really leave reviews but I'm putting one here for this product because I am so taken aback by the fact it has ACTUALLY HAD A VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT. I bought th...

Can anyone explain the sun sensitivity?
I liked what this did for my skin, no irritation or redness at home and I only used at night. However on the first day of real sunshine here I went out and was bright pink after only half an hour outside even under a thick thick layer of SPF50+. I get the same thing when I'm using the ordinary vitam...

Caused dermatitis

One or two drops after mild probiotic toner caused burning. Next day I had two red, flaking patches in each side of my face. Stopped using. Took 2 weeks to heal. Have not tried again. I'm sure it is the ferrulic acid. I've used other resveratrol products in the past with no irritation. My vitamin C product contains ferrulic acid and I can use it without irritation so kind of a mystery. Somehow I ended up with 2 bottles of this product and I can't use it. Maybe I can repurpose it somehow, but that seems kind of pointless.

I have no clue if this works because the stench of it revolts me. How are there so many positive reviews without any mention of the fact that your face ends up smelling like a hot dog?
Definitely a staple for me

I've been using this for 6 months now, at first I didn't know if there was a difference but I didn't use it for a couple weeks and started having more acne (I'm 6 months in with tretinoin, never really had acne before tret) and realized I hadn't been using this enough. Within a couple days of adding back in my skin tone has evened out and my acne is significantly calmer, too. It also seemed to help my skin after a mild sunburn, not positive though. I highly recommend though. I also use this to make my vit c serum using about a half scoop of the vitamin c powder, about 5-6 drops of marine hyluronics, and 2 drops of the resveratrol/ferulic acid and it works well.
AMAZING...but ONLY if your skin barrier is healthy
Verified Buyer

I used this product morning and night (1-2 drops) consistently for ~2 years with amazing results. Noticeably brightened my skin with the added bonus of a low price point and one bottle lasting for ages. However, after having a baby, my skin became more sensitive, and this product couldn't do its job under those conditions. It took me a good 6 months to realize that I should change my skincare routine, and at that point, I saw that my skin was less irritated when I didn't use this product (the primary culprit, however, was over-exfoliation). I tried to re-introduce this product around a year after changing my skincare routine, but it didn't seem to have much effect. However, when I recently re-introduced it again (I now have melasma and it's driving me nuts!), I noticed that my skin was responding positively right away. So bottom line: this product is absolutely AMAZING, BUT your skin barrier must be healthy enough to benefit. If this product doesn't work for you, or you suddenly can't tolerate it after a long period of use, consider a gentler skincare regimen and then try re-introducing it later; it's definitely worth trying because my skin hasn't been as bright without this product. I am SO happy that I can use it again!
Bad Skin Reaction from Expired Product
Verified Buyer
Reviewed at
I am not sure if it's because the product expired or because of repeated exposure to the chemical but one morning I woke up with one of my eyes completely swollen shut and the skin red (the eye itself was totally fine). I didn't realize at first that it was the product but it happened a second time when it affected both eyes / eye regions; the skin on both my eye lids and on my cheek bones felt chemically burnt, were red and swollen. The swelling went away by the end of the day but the scab from the burn and swollen skin took days to heal and come off. I think this might have happened because of the product expiring - I ordered it a year ago and didn't realize since it lasted quite long and was stored in the fridge. I am tempted but too scared to try with a new bottle - overall I can't say I saw any significant improvment to my skin when I did use it anyway.
