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

Great product. Really works to add brightness to dull skin. Start small as it is easy to irritate your skin with this. I mix it with a vitamin c serum to get more brightness and it works great. I just use a half a scoop each morning and works well. Hitting my later 40’s I missed my skin glowing and this has really worked to bring it back.

As a fair skinned, freckled woman I take my vitamin c seriously, I love that I can now turn anything and everything into a vitamin c serum, lotion, or mask but my favorite thing to do is mix into my resveratol/ferulic serum. Great quality and easy to use.

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.

The jar wasn’t sealed. Upon opening the package, the contents spilled out everywhere. I salvaged as much of the product as I could.I’m sure the product itself is great. I have used 4 other products from this company and it’s top-tier……So, I will prematurely give this 4 stars…..

This is a new addition to my face care routine. I add the aloe serum with the powder and my redness and irritation has calmed down a lot a little goes a long way

This works so well- skin is immediately smoother and brighter! Lasts forever and is such a great value

I mixed it with Cosrx Snail Mucin and used it everyday, it might’ve made my complexion a little more even but it definitely started breaking me out. It might work for someone else, honestly can’t complain for the price

Commercial Vit. C serum is so expensive, but so good for your skin. Therefore, I’ve learned to make my own at home and can afford to not be frugal with it! This is the food of ascorbic acid (aka Vitamin c) that goes into my serum. I’ve been very pleased with the quality and will definitely buy it again.
