My skin is definitely no stranger to high-strength Vitamin C (take GOW's 23% serum for example) and so I thought nothing could possibly go wrong with The Ordinary's 23% concentration. If only! Within ...Read more

It’s gritty, and it stings but it works. My face is noticeably brighter and fresher when I use this. I mix it with a tiny bit of aloe Vera because I find it stings a bit. I find it slow to sink in so...Read more

Pros are that the product does what it is supposed to do at a relatively low cost. The cream does have a brightening effect. The cons are deal breakers for me though. The bottle is quite small. Th...Read more
