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 ...

Working great
So far this has been really great. Goes on smooth, absorbs quickly. Feel a little tingle, but not excessive. My skin seems smoother.
producto expirado
lo compre pero no lo use hasta un mes después, y cuando lo hice la crema no servía olía horrible a rancio.
Foul Odor!
This may be the stinkiest skincare product I've ever bought in my life. Absolutely no reason for its putrid, disgusting stank.
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.
Not for me
Burnt my face bad, tried about 4 times and had to get rid of it because it was unbearable.

Can I use this with The Ordinary copper peptides?
- Asked by NEE2
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there , thank you for reaching out! We do not recommend using direct vitamin c like Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% with Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% in the same regimen. You could use Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% in the morning, and Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% in the evening.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by daisygirl

- Q
Hi, I see that you recommend nighttime use, but I already use tazar.. at night. is it safe to use both?
- Asked by Q
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageUnfortunately, it is difficult for us to comment on the pairing of our products with those of other brands. We recommend consulting with your doctor/dermatologist, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time, and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin. Generally speaking , however, we'd recommend using Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% on separate evenings than your retinoid.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
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
