    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!...

    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...

    I have used powdered ascorbic acid (that I fresh mix in my palm) but find it messy and inconvenient. As far as pre-formulated vitamin c / ascorbic acid products go, this is the least expensive yet...

    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. ...

    Yes, gritty on application and eventually becomes oily (on my combination skin - though i think a lot of the oiliness comes from the humidity where i live and id have it regardless of product)....

    This product has a weird grainy texture, very strange. It's also very oily. It put me off first because you have to apply it early before going to bed or your sheets will be trashed. However it...

    Favourite vitamin C product. It delivers results, but is a bit of a hassle. I prefer to mix the product with a small amount of a bland moisturiser or serum. That way the grittiness disappears...
