Hi, Can you use this in a morning routine after applying Hyaluronic Acid?
Asked by missy
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Hey there, we recommend applying a small amount to the face once daily, ideally in the evening. If using in the morning, we highly recommend using sun protection, such as UV Filters SPF 45 Serum .Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can you use this on other body parts like armpits?
Asked by Beauty buff
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% has been tested for use on the face only. We do not recommend applying this product to covered areas of the body such as the inner thighs or underarms, as these areas may have more sensitive skin, and the natural occlusion of these regions may make them more prone to irritation.Was this answer helpful to you

Awful texture

I am not sure of the effect of this product as it doesn't seem to absorb due to its poor formulation. Let me start with the beginning: Very runny, drips everywhere if you aren't careful. I can get passed that. Grainy when comes in contact with skin, feels like sandpaper. I understand this is due ...

Foul Odor!

This may be the stinkiest skincare product I've ever bought in my life. Absolutely no reason for its putrid, disgusting stank.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

It works but SMELLS

This product does wonders for my face. BUT as soon as I started using it I noticed that my hands would smell like metal for DAYS afterwards. Doesn't matter how much I wash them, the smell won't go away. So only use this if you aren't sensitive to strong smells.

I've used this serum for six months now and it's brightened my dark spots significantly. You will feel a stinging tingle when you put the serum on. That's because of the high concentration of Vitamin C. You will become adjusted to it if you keep using it. You'll begin to see results after a few weeks of use. I only wish the Ordinary made a serum with an even higher concentration of Vitamin C. This is one of my favorite products from the Ordinary.

I can get past the grittiness but not the smell

Nothing could prepare me for the smell. That has no bearing on effectiveness but it's a dealbreaker for me. Wish I could tolerate the smell enough to use it and see results but I just cannot 🤮
