Amazing at reducing redness and brightening skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.
