Changed my skin!
I started using 2 weeks ago. I am 50 yrs old. I have combo skin with acne, dry patches, age spots, acne scars, crepey under my eyes, wrinkles on my forehead and crows feet. UGH!

Awful texture
I am not sure of the effect of this product as it doesn't seem to absorb due to its poor formulation. Let me start with the beginning: Very runny, drips everywhere if you aren't careful. I can get passed that. Grainy when comes in contact with skin, feels like sandpaper. I understand this is due ...

Avoid this product. Gritty and burns the skin
I have been so happy with so many of The Ordinary products. This one is definitely a zero star. It goes on gritty and burns my skin. I attempted to keep giving it numerous attempts and finally had to toss it. I wish The Ordinary would format a vitamin c serum aimilar to the other fabulous serums in their product line.
I hate this product
I absolutely hate this product. I used it after other ordinary products and it rubs gritty. So i used it first on my freah face and the burn was awful! It still went on a little gritty. When i put other ordinary products after it the burn was worse and i couldnt wash it off. Do not get this product!
It works! Use at night! Affordable!
I put this one right before bed after washing my face. It is gritty, it doesnt feel great. This would be terrible under make up….But when I wake up my face is so soft and glowing! The gritt goes away quickly after its absorbed into your face. I like that its not in an annoying glass vile that makes a mess every where. The application is easy and its EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE VITAMIN C. I hope they don't get rid of it. Im hooked.
texture is so bad
I think the product works well IF you can get past the awful texture. It feels like you're rubbing sand on your hands and face. It doesn't fully absorb into the skin and will leave a slight film
Holy grail
Most times I use it in the morning with mandatory sunscreen over it. But i find using it daily is too harsh for my skin, so 1-2 times a week is plenty. Yes its gritty but it doesnt bother me. I see a huge difference in skin texture when I stop using it…
