The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%
So I've been hearing people liking The Ordinary protects and thought I should try something from them. This Vitamin C Suspension 23% serum was the cheapest one I saw so I bought it. I didn't read much about it when I bought, but now I did. This product is quite different from any other skincare I've used before because of the texture. I didn't see a drastic difference, but it does do what its says. I bought this on Amazon for like $12, but now I see on The Ordinary website and Sephora this costs $5.80! Don't overpay like I did! So if you want to add Vitamin C to your skincare routine, try this one out!
As I mentioned before, the texture to this serum is different. Its not the best, but its for a reason. The L-Ascorbic Acid powder offers high potency and concentration of Vitamin C so this serum has a gritty texture. This product is formulate water free to prevent oxidation and silicone free to prevent the effectiveness. The serum is somewhat gritty and feels oily on the skin. Also it kind of builds up a bit on the finger I use to apply so I would have to wipe off the dried up film of this product from my finger. It does warn you that this product will sting, but should be non irritating. This stuff does sting, but its only slightly for me. I do try to be careful as I do have other exfoliating products in my skincare so I don't want to use this serum too often to avoid irritating my skin.
I mainly use this to target dark spots and other dark skin areas I have. I would say this seems to help get rid of acne scars faster than before for sure. But for age spots and areas I tried like my elbows and underarms its hard to tell if it helped. But despite that I do believe this product is legit. The tube is only 1 fl oz so its not very big. There is a smell to it, but I don't find it strong enough for me to really notice it. The serum is a bit runny and with the tube packaging sometimes it did kind of run down the cap when opening so be careful when opening it.
