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 elseÂ
Report this reviewVitamin 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!
Report this reviewNo 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.
Report this reviewGreat product
All products of The Ordinary skincare is absolutely great. Can help it to use it.
Report this reviewCan't live without
One of those products that you only realize how good they are when you finish the bottle, and after a couple of weeks without it, your skin starts looking all wrong. Its hard to explain what it does, but it just makes my skin look much better overall. I got this as my introduction to vitamin C, because it was supposed to be their least aggressive option. Now I want to upgrade to something stronger, but I love it so much, I'm a little hesitant to let it go
Report this reviewChanged my skincare game
This is honestly the best combo i’ve tried with the niacinamide serum. I have noticed after a few weeks my hormone spots has disappeared entirely and my face is brighter and softer. I actually skip foundation now because of the dark spots/pigmentation that is beginning to fade. This is going to be a permanent staple in my skin care and already can’t wait to buy another bottle!
Report this reviewLovely Results
My skin looks so much brighter and has an even tone now. Helped get rid of my dark spots and unevenness. Gonna buy another soon.
Report this reviewGreat but...
It definitely makes you glow and is very effective. HOWEVER, I do not know if it is just my bottle but it always gets super stuck. If you live alone or do not have anyone in your house to open this bottle when it glues itself shut then I wouldn't suggest it.
