The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And your next essential is the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% (30ml), a brightening serum providing antioxidant protection.
Starring a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% (30ml) works to brighten, even skin tone and lessen the look of pigmentation.
Although less potent than direct L-ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside offers high stability and comfortable use, making it ideal for sensitive skin. As for the results? How do you like the sound of more even, radiant-looking skin with the appearance of dark spots and fine lines lessened, plus protection from daily stressors? We can see the beaming luminosity already...
Aqua (Water), Ascorbyl Glucoside, Propanediol, Aminomethyl Propanol, Triethanolamine, Isoceteth-20, Xanthan gum, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Ethoxydiglycol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol.

Amazing at reducing redness and brightening skin
I have been using this for two years now and I love this product. I use it in my day routine along with salicylic acid beforehand as the two are meant to go well together nicely. I have noticed a massive difference in the redness of my skin reducing, along with my skin looking brighter. In fact, when I ran out of this a while ago and couldn't find it in stock, I noticed how horrible my skin looked and felt without the serum, and how much redness had come back. 100% recommend to anyone struggling with redness or dullness to give this a go and see if it can help them.

One of my daily ‘go to’ products
I use this every day as first step after cleansing in the morning. My skin has looked the best it’s ever looked since I got into a good skincare routine, including this product, so whilst I can’t say it’s solely down to this, it has certainly contributed. Helps to smooth skin tone and reduce uneven colouring.

Not sure ywt
Used this every day since buying… I do feel it’s helping my skin, but my only grievance is how it is when applied .. it goes on and drys a quite tacky , feel as though it leaves a shiny film on my face.. so not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if be better using it mixed with something else

Vitamin C dreams
I adore this product. If you are looking to implement Vitamin C into your skincare then I would highly highly recommend this product. I have purchased around 5 items that claim they have Vitamin C benefits and this is the only one that I can feel those benefits with. Not to mention that my skin feels like it's thanking me whenever I use it. Highly recommend! Very noticeable difference!

No Zits With This Vitamin C
I have super oily, sensitive, very acne prone skin. Before I started using The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. I had tried many different ascorbic acid products. Many different brands. And many different forms. Serums, Creams, Powder. Non of them lasted more than a few weeks. Because they all did the same thing. They broke me out! The last ascorbic acid product I tried to use was The Ordinary L-Ascorbic Acid powder. I liked it because it wasn't oily. I used to mix it with Vichy Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid. But it still broke me out. And left me with lumps under my skin. I decided I was going to give Vitamin C one more chance. But this time in the form of a derivative: The Ordinary’s Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. If it had broke me out. That would have been the final straw for me and vitamin C. But thankfully... It didn't! In fact, the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% had quite the opposite affect. It got rid of the acne. And the lumps under my skin. Within a week my face was completely clear from the damage the ascorbic acid powder had caused. I will never use ascorbic acid ever again. And I will never stop using The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. I keeps my face acne free. Lightens my acne scars. Keeps my redness at bay. And just keeps my face looking really good.
