The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30 in Silicone

I like the results, but not the product. I prefer to dilute this with my hydrating serum to avoid the stinging. I find it hard to spread across the skin to get an even layer and all the silicones leave my skin feeling powdery. However, it’s been a week and I can already tell my hyper pigmentation is lighter and my skin looks brighter. I think I would prefer a more liquid vitamin c product from …Read more

OMG, my patch test area is so painful. Thankfully I patch test products before I introduce them to my face. First, the innocuous-looking cream started to burn (not tingle or sting) I washed it off immediately but it felt difficult to remove and I didn’t want to scrub it off. Then the itching started!
Now I have been using C serum for years, starting with Skin Ceuticals and have been using …Read more

For some reason my skin didn't like this...
I don't have particularly sensitive skin. I like and use many TO products but I just can't get this one to work for me. First of all this disappates quickly so it's hard for me to apply a small amount, which may mean that I'm applying too much ( I'm not sure how other people are able to spread a small amount). It …Read more

Not a fan. The conditency is tricky and the product tends to pill if you're not cautious. Use as little as possible and tap and dont rub it in too vigiriously in order to prevent it from balling up.
I didnt experience any improvement for my skin. I might use it again in the future since I have an unopened bottle in my stash. I since have moved on to make my own Vitamin C serum …Read more

Quick tip: if you think the ordinary's vitamin c and ha spheres' texture is too gritty try this one instead (if your skin don't react to silicons, of course) tgis is quite smooth and the price is good too.

After loving Paula's Choice Vitamin C 25%, but not loving the price, I decided to try this one.
I've been using it a couple of times a week for several months.
It is definitely not as effective as PC Vitamin C. There is a noticeable improvement in the tone of the skin the next morning, but I found the results from PC serum much more dramatic.
That being said, obviously …Read more

I am on the fence about whether I'll buy this again in the future. I love that the sillicone formula and packaging keeps the precious vitamin C stable, and yes, it stings like a motherf****** right after applying but that subsides quickly enough where it's not unbearable. I went through a period of not using ascorbic acid based products, only other Deciem vitamin C derivatives like the …Read more

Nice affordable Vitamin C product! After my unpleasant experience with The Ordinary's 23% Vitamin C suspension, I was pretty reluctant to try this one but I'm glad I did! While I can't say I like it as much as a water based Vitamin C serum like Timeless, I had a much MUCH better time using this serum than I did the 23% suspension. Whatever they did with this new silicone …Read more

This has made the most immediate difference in my skin of anything I’ve ever used. The people complaining about pilling, I so hear you. I mix mine with a tiny bit of non-active moisturizer and have no problems putting anything on under or afterward. I think it just needs something to increase its spreadability a bit.

I use and really like the Ordinary 23% Vit C suspension but am testing this one now. I don't know if my skin is just responding favorably to a new poduct in general, the higher percentage of vitamin C, or what—but this is doing good work. I'm not sensitive to silicones so this hasn't broken me out or clogged pores. It's a weird, dry texture. I feel like I'm using a whole …Read more
