I like using this vitamin C serum from the Ordinary. I tried a few from their range and this one is my second favourite. This serum is a dry oil that absorbs rather quickly. It did sometimes make my s...Read more

I like this product. Using this, I got similar results to Sunday Rilay CEO serum which also has tetra C. I find that pure ascorbic acid solutions give an instant glow, while tetra C improves sagging s...Read more

This is one of the most effective products of The Ordinary line. I am always on the hunt for a good vitamin C based serum, and this one proves to be very stable. It is oily, so you will control it ver...Read more

It was highly effective for me - brightening my skin and reducing hyperpigmentation the first time out. I liked how it applied so easily as well. Holy grail, I thought. And then came the acne - huge, ...Read more

This is my favorite Vit C from The Ordinary. (The 23% suspension + HA spheres actually gives the most powerful brightening effect, but it's better to use at night. This one is easy to use day or night...Read more

I've tried many of The Ordinary's Vitamin C Products and many of them work well but are unpleasing aesthetically- some leave a grainy feeling on the skin and others leave skin feeling tacky after appl...

I didn't expect to be impressed by this. I have the Vitamin C + HA spheres by the same brand but it's very gritty and has a strange consistency; it's also very potent and there's kind of a tingling wa...Read more
