The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + Hyaluronic Acid Spheres 2%, Serum with Pure L-Ascorbic Acid

I’ve been using Vitamin C Suspension 23% and it’s definitely a powerful product. It noticeably brightened my skin and helped fade dark spots over time, giving me a more even and glowing complexion. The texture is gritty and can feel a little tingly when first applied, especially on sensitive skin, but that sensation fades after a few minutes. I usually apply it at night and mix a small amount with moisturizer to reduce irritation. A little goes a long way, and with consistent use, the results are worth it. This is a great option if you want a strong vitamin C treatment and don’t mind the texture.

Brightens and Smooths — Strong but Effective! I’ve been using The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% for a few weeks now. At first, I felt a slight tingling, which I read is normal due to the high concentration of pure L-Ascorbic Acid. After consistent use, my skin looks noticeably brighter, smoother, and my dark spots are starting to fade. It has a gritty texture but absorbs well if applied on slightly damp skin. Great value for the price!

It works great, but better for night use. It's also a little coarse on the skin, so be careful on application.

Love this product. I see the difference. My face is tighter and lines looks less around eyes. I use only at night. My skin does tingle or feel irritated for a minute or two but then it goes away. I gave it a 4 star bc the product smells terrible. But it works. And I wish there was a bigger size

I ordered this product because I’ve tried this brand and liked it. However after several (3-4) trials this product is both a big disappointment and a mystery. I’ve tried using moisturizer right after application and also, as it suggests, mixing it with moisturizer. In both cases the result is the same: after 5 mins the whole face starts to have profuse white flaking, that cannot be left on the skin. I start to gently rub it off yet it starts to come off more ( the flakes are visible and a lot on cloths etc if I don’t kind of shake it off in the sink ) until the whole comes off after at least 3-5 mins cleaning it off like this. I would not mind the “grainy texture” as some mentioned in reviews at all. But this is entirely different phenomenon. I wanted to give it a good chance and used it several times but requested refund because I don’t want such a “serum” and also am not sure at all why it behaves like this or if this is normal. My skin did not get any irritation or rash. I want to bring to attention that it is not at all straightforward to make a return. One is taken to an option to either check out website information or call a customer service number. Which of course is closed on weekends.

Great product. Fantastic price. Seems to brighten and tighten skin over time. Can be irritating to sensitive skin. Keep away from eyes! Wear SPF if using during daytime. I mix a small dime-size amount with some moisturizer or with a drop or two of Vit E oil.

I love this product. Great value and it works well. This product doesn’t bother my complexion and is a great base for anything else you want to add. I have purchased this multiple times!

I really wanted to love this serum because I like The Ordinary and I know pure L-ascorbic acid can do wonders for skin brightness. But this one just doesn’t feel pleasant to use. It goes on grainy, almost like fine sand, and unless I immediately mix it with another moisturizer, it leaves little white crumbs that turn brown-orange after a while. Even hours later, if I touch my face, I’ll find those gritty specks rubbing off. It’s messy, and honestly makes me worry about oxidation or product freshness. I appreciate that it’s a high-strength vitamin C at a fair price, but the texture makes it hard to stick with. I wish the formula absorbed cleanly instead of crumbling all over my skin.

Gosto mto do produto . Uso diário. Ótima qualidade

El producto me llegó dañado

It has beads in it but it blends nicely. It works overnight all my pigmentation started lightening love it.

Já usei alguns produtos da THE ORDINARY, mas até então somente a linha de cuidado dos frascos de vidro (com conta gotas) e gostei mto... mas essa linha nesse tipo de embalagem com uma proposta serum cremoso foi a minha primeira experiência. Não gostei e jamais usaria de novo. Textura estranha e muito oleosa, Além disso não vem na embalagem nem na caixa o lote e a validade... não sabemos nem se é original.

Super merci beaucoup
