The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder, Vitamin C Treatment for Anti-Aging, 0.7 Ounce

This product is intended for the face and not the body. Do not put this near your eyes!!! If this gets near your eyes, you might have to call poision control or something. I just know it will hurt super bad.A lot of people don't know how to use vitamin-C, so I wanted to leave some helpful information as when used improperly, it can make aging worse and leave your skin much more vulnerable than without this.If you are using this to look younger, and you don't wear sunscreen routinely, this can make you look older (if you go out in the sun). If you stay in all day and don't stand near windows, you're fine. Vitamin C makes your skin more vulnerable to UV rays. Please never put this on and spend all day in 90 degree weather. You might "look" ok (if you don't tend to burn) but this is so bad. It's a chemical product for a reason. It works wonders on your face when you use it right.How I use it: I do my hyaluronic acid toner, then this power with The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3 mixed together (so I do 1 scoop of the powder with 4 drops of the resveratrol) after I heard about what a powerful duo this is. Please read this for more info: [Which serum would be the best to mix with L-Ascorbic Acid Powder? You may wish to explore The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%. This formula combines very high concentrations of two of the most powerful and important antioxidants in skincare. Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid helps support the skin’s defense against oxidative stress caused by environmental factors that play a major role in the loss of visible skin quality over time. The benefits of topically applied resveratrol and ferulic acid are continuing and cumulative.]Anyways, I saw people saying they mix this with their moisturizer, but please make sure you don't have any strong chemicals in your lotion or heavy fragrances as this combination can make your skin irritated. I wouldn't mix this with a lotion at all. Why? This Vitamin C is so powerful but you're diluting it when you mix it with lotion. The lotion is super heavy which won't allow this to penetrate into your skin. With skincare, you need to work your way up from in consistency and heaviness. Use this earlier on in your routine, not as the last step. Lotion should be the final seal on your skin (if you use multiple skincare products).Vitamin C is a great product but you have to be serious when you use it or you will pay for it later or with a burn. If your skin is irritated, that doesn't mean it's burned. It's great to start using a small amount to see how your skin reacts. Give it time and your skin will thank you for this. It really does brighten my skin and I am always glowing but I've been using it for over 5 years. I tend to not use it as often during the summer because sometimes I forget to wear sunscreen.

Love this product! My skin has shown great improvement adding this to my routine.

Love this product but it arrived without the tiny scoop. Had to use one of my tiny dab/earwax tools to get the product out. Reduced rating by 1 star because of this.Edit: I got a new vanity last week and as I was moving everything from the old vanity I found the tiny scoop! It must have fallen out of the box as I was opening it and landed in an open drawer where I didn't see it because it's small and a milky white color. Review edited to full 5 stars because I am very pleased with the product and the quantity for the price point.

I used this several years ago and then I decided to take a small break to try the serum form of vitamin C. I tried a few different brands , but in the end I decided to come back to this. For the record, I have 53 yr old normal/dry skin with a few fine lines. I have some sunspots and uneven texture and the usual concerns for my age.First, the price is obviously great. I love this line, The Ordinary, because I can custom mix and match my own serums and skincare, and that way it is targeted just for the issues I have. They must have changed the formula a little because compared to the old one, this one is easier to blend in with my cream. I use Cerave or Vanicream for dry skin and I mix one scoop with a pump, every morning. I just spread it in my hands and apply. And I really like it. There isn’t any grittiness and I do not have any irritation. After a few weeks I can attest that it is evening out my skin just as I remember. I use it every morning but if you are a first timer, start slow and gradually increase. If you have a hard time with the sticky texture of serums then you will like this.

This has has smooth and brightened my face in a matter of a week. My pores are looking smaller. My skin is brighter. My brown spots are practically gone. I mix it with my hyaluronic ordinary serum, and then before I apply the ordinary company, milky toner. I’m 40 years old and this has saved my skin! I cannot say enough good things about this product. I am obsessed with this.

It's very useful. I like it very much. It can whiten the skin.

Vitamin C powder does not dissolve fully in the Ordinary Resveratrol serum. You have a slightly gritty feel when applying to the face. Only a very small amount is needed as a full scoop is irritating to the skin. I prefer the Vitamin C powder from Philosphy but wanted to try a more cost effective alternative.

I got this cause the serum for vitamin c is getting pricey. This powder is easy just need to add moisturizer or serums to mix it in and apply to your face. Love it. Effective on my skincare routine and no issues on my skin. Replaced my serum I used before and works just as good, maybe even better. Price is perfect!
