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. A case in point is the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% (30ml), a gentle serum designed to smooth, brighten and plump.
Want to improve the appearance of dull, lacklustre skin while you sleep? Cue The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres (30ml) treatment.
At the centre of this water-free formula is L-ascorbic acid (AKA the purest form of vitamin C) which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. Famed for its brightening abilities, this acid reduces the appearance of an uneven skin tone and dark spots. That's not all though; with the infusion of hyaluronic acid spheres, this treatment also hydrates and plumps the skin. It's ideal to use at bedtime, so you can wake up with a radiant, supple and more youthful-looking complexion.
Ascorbic Acid, Squalane, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Coconut Alkanes, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glucomannan, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Trihydroxystearin, Bht.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply a small amount to the face once daily, ideally in the evening. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Use sun protection during the day. A tingling sensation can be expected; if the sensation is too strong, the formula can be mixed with other oils of your preference before each application to reduce the strength.

Hit & Miss
This pure Lascorbc acid, I tried the 10% one that's suspended in magnesium & got amazing results so braved myself for this & gave it a try. Lot of people have polarised opinions on this, some hate it because of how they're skin reacted to it & the other side loved it. That's the key here, it is a very good product but may or may not suit you. I have extremely sensitive, easily irritated, prone to redness skin, but because I loved the magnesium one I thought let's try. I was going to ease into it, use once a week only & they maybe, maybe twice a week. It didn't cause me immediate harm as I was careful but it didn't work for me the way the one suspended in magnesium did (boy that was phenomenal), but rather long term I realised I have darkened. What actually happened was it was too harsh for my sensitive skin, it reddened me ( almost maroon over a period of time) thus it seemed like I darkened. So do I recommend it, yes because the product isn't bad, it's how your skin will take to it, if it ends up suiting you'll get phenomenal results & vice versa. To be on the safer side try the one suspended in magnesium or the serum that has Alpha Arbutin too. I have spoken in detail about what are actives & what they do on my igtv channel @hajanders & spoken about The Ordinary's products too in length. Do check it out to learn more. Thank You.

Don’t bother
If there was ever a product I disliked it would be this. I tried giving it a go a few times but I kept having the same issue with it crumbling and leaving this awful residue on my skin.

Not a fan
I love the Ordinary products but I couldn’t deal with the texture here. The HA spheres felt like gritty bits on my skin and I hated it. Might get some use using this on my legs but definitely won’t continue use on my face due to the texture.

A key part of your routine
This product isn't an overnight wonder but after using it for a couple of months of using it, my complexion was more even and my skin was a bit brighter. It wasn't until I got lazy with my skincare and stopped using it that I realised how much if a difference it made to my complexion. It won't completely change your skin but it brings a significant amount of life back to my mid-30s skin.

Horrible product, avoid at all costs.
I have a lot of love for some of the Ordinary’s products but for this I have none. The texture is awful - it literally has bits in it that are meant to dissolve but often never do. The smell leaves something to be desired, and it leaves a stinging/burning sensation when applied. Not to mention the fact it doesn’t feel moisturising at all. I tried to find redeeming factors before leaving this review but was left without a single positive thing to say (minus how cheap it is).

Good value
For such a reasonable price this is a great vitamin c product,the texture however is very grainy, hence 1 star removed, but does offer a brightening effect to the skin.

Not for sensitive skin
I thought I would give this a go but my skin was too sensitive and it stung my skin a lot. It has a grainy texture to it as well.

Vitamin c 23%
I love this, yes it's gritty and it tingles but that shows the high concentration of vitamin c, I use this in the morning after cleansing and rub gently on my face, it feels like it's exfoliating with the grainy bits but after a couple of minutes my skin feels really soft.

TO Vitamin C
I am 48 and have pigmentation on my chest, so this is what I bought this product for. It never stings, but it has a grainy texture which I think would bother me if I was applying it to my face. It does a good job of brightening, especially for the price
