Description
Skin prone to dark spots and hyperpigmentation
Introduction
The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is a creamy serum with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid and one of the ‘hero’ products in The Ordinary Range! This treatment brightens, hydrates, and smooths the skin's surface, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation (including dark spots, age spots, and acne scars).
- Ascorbic acid is a potent form of vitamin C that delivers dramatic brightening and anti-aging effects.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: a form of hyaluronic acid that boosts the skin's moisture content for a plump, supple, and smooth appearance.
How to Use:
- Apply a pea-sized amount to your skin in the morning or at night, after toners and water-based products.
- Because this product is a suspension of vitamin C powder in a water-free base, it may take a few seconds to absorb into the skin.
- Expect a slight tingling sensation during the first 1-2 weeks of use. If irritation occurs, this product can be diluted to reduce its strength.
- Please note: this product should not be used at the same time as treatments containing Niacinamide (vitamin B3).

This is lovely on the
This is lovely on the skin making the texture feel much more smooth and bright. I wasn't expecting much but the quality of this product went above my expectations. Wear it with a sun screen for added skin protection. The grainy feel of the lotion took a bit of getting used to but it blends beautifully and feels lovely once it drys

My skin has been very dull, within a few days I can already see a difference, skin looks brighter, I like to put it on earlier in the night, as you do feel a slight tingle..

Vit c is very good
Vit c is very good for skin and this absorbs well. It doesn't have silicone which I like and doesn't cause spots. Can sting a king so start small and build up

Good results
The cream is textured and it did sting a little on the 1st application but it had good results. My skin looked hydrated the next day. I now use in the morning before moisturiser as it's not recommended to use this product with a lot of the other serums that are part of my PM skin care regime

A bit oily
Nice and brightening but can be a bit oily under make up

It's good, only I mix it with night cream, because it stings me if I only apply the serum.

Very good - but don't use it every night
This product is great for brightening your skin but use it sparingly, maybe twice a week at most. I used to use it every night and broke out, because it is strong. That was my fault - not the serum's fault!

One week and still on the fence
I'm truly unsure about this product and not sure if I shall continue to use it after a month. I do like how my skin looks brighter, less acne spots... but. My skin seems to look and feel heavy and oily after applying. I am one of those rare people that find any amount of squalene in a product feels a little heavy on my skin. There is a little bit of a grit upon application, but that goes away once I apply my moisturiser atop. I shall be attempting to mix the Vitamin C with my toner for a week, and then mix it with my moisturiser the following week to see if I can control that oil sheen I've got going on. I like the results, just not a fan of the oily skin!

The Ordinary Vitamin C cream
I've found this cream to be very effective for roscoe, it has reduced the redness and outbreaks and give clearer skin tone. A bit tingly as mentioned on the box but a little goes a really long way.

loving the ordinary
vit c peel for night time use. very tingly if not used to vit C products, however can be "diluted" with a moisturiser or serum such as the ordinary ferulic serum. My skin can tolerate the tingle and i woke up the next morning with an improvement in skin texture and brightness. v affordable.

Review of product
Slight tingle when the product is applied and as advertised. I don't like the texture of it. It feels fine initially but almost grainy when put on skin

Love it
Ok so it takes a while to absorbe in to skin but wen it does it feels grate can see improvements in my skin will definitely get again :yum:

Works well, feels gross
Been using for about a month and my pigmentation is slowly but surely fading. My skin is smoother and healthier looking. But feels greasy, yet grainy and dry. Doesn't sink in so can't wear makeup. Stings the first few times before you get used to it, and pills if you don't exfoliate first. Stained my hands and sheets orange like fake tan, doesn't wash out easily. Product also took ages to be delivered, but that's the fault of the website, not the product.

Vitamin will C
I bought this in the hope to help lighten up 2 small patches on my face. I used it at night after using a glycolic toner, but found it to cause pilling. After adjusting my routine, I found it best to apply after washing my face with water, it did cause a stinging sensation at the start of application, and after using for 3 continuous nights , I did find it caused some dry patches. So now I use it on alternate nights. The texture is slightly gritty- but it does rub in fairly quickly. Overall I haven't noticed much change, but it's only been a short time. And with a great price - it's worth a try!

I don't particularly like the grainy texture but it's doing the job and at the price point you can't complain!

Happy with my skin..
This is my third bottle since I found out about the Ordinary. So far i have never been this happy with my skin and with this product. This is all i use at the moment and I have discarded my other skincare products as this does everything! I will continue to purchase and use as long as this product is manufactured. I use not only on my face buy also around my eyes, my smile lines have significantly lessened and seem to continue to disappear. I love the difference in my skin and will recommend this to my friends!
-
Really good
I was skeptical of this brand and product at first but I've been very impressed. This is a suspension so it's very odd to use at first since it feels gritty, but it goes away very quickly. I've noticed a huge improvement in my skin, and I've used several other highly recommended vitamin C products in the past which I never noticed a difference with.
-
I love this product
Yet another product I love. Because the Ordinary is very inexpensive, there's not a lot of frills. One setback is that you're kind of left to your own devices. The regimen guide is a MUST to review before buying these products. This particular product is best used at night. It's slightly greasy and has a tingle sensation until your skin acclimates to it.

Healthy skin!
One of the best products I ever used. It reduces some acne, pigmentation, makes skin look lighter and healthier.

I love this!
This is a HG for me. After only a few uses removed my pigmentations. My skin looks very young, healthy and glowy. This is an amazing product at a ridiculous price. I Love this stuff! Thank you so much
