Will this product stain fair skin with an orange hue after oxidizing on the skin overnight?
- Asked by Pam D
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! To avoid orange staining, please ensure you apply no more than a pea sized amount of product. We recommend applying Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% as the last step in your PM regimen at least one hour before bedtime to ensure the product has fully absorbed into the skin. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How do I avoid the product pilling on my skin? It acts like an exfoliant right away, but come to find out, that's the product producing little balls all over my face, not dead skin. Do I use the product on dry skin vs wet skin or vice versa?
- Asked by Bamalynn
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageIt sounds like you may be applying too much product! Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% offers a 23% powder content so a very small amount should be used. We suggest applying VC 23% as the final step of your PM routine to begin, and we always recommend allowing all product to absorb before applying next steps. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

Changed my skin!
I started using 2 weeks ago. I am 50 yrs old. I have combo skin with acne, dry patches, age spots, acne scars, crepey under my eyes, wrinkles on my forehead and crows feet. UGH! I saw this in a beauty blog and at this point would try anything! But $6?!?! It must be witchcraft! And it is! My face ha...

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 ...

I would not buy again
I don't like the gritty feeling of it and it doesn't offer mostiure
Allergic Reaction
This Vitamin C suspension has a gritty texture, which is this customer first time trying this type of Vitamin C. It caused a slight tingling/burning sensation, then redness. This product was returned and a Vitamin C serum purchased. No problems with the serum.
Why everyone not talking abt the size
I bought this product and it clearly says it's 30ml, but when I opened it, it felt almost empty—maybe only 5ml inside! I can't believe a company would sell something like this and mislead customers. Are you guys serious? This feels like a total scam. Don't waste your money on this seller, and think twice before buying anything online from them. I'm really disappointed and frustrated.
Obsessed
The texture was startling at first but i quickly got used to it. I only use this product at night, but when i wake up my skin looks so hydrated and youthful
I returned it
I agree with some of the other reviews. It has a bad smell. It feels gritty. It's also oily looking on my skin.
