Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, Vitamin C Serum for Even Skin Tone and Antioxidant Protection, 1 Fl Oz

Amazing Vitamin C Serum! I’ve been using The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% for about a month now, and I’m seriously impressed! This serum has become a staple in my skincare routine. My skin feels smoother, looks more even, and has that healthy glow I’ve been searching for. What I love most about this product is that it provides antioxidant protection without being harsh or irritating, which I’ve struggled with when trying other Vitamin C serums. It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, so I can apply it easily in the morning and go about my day without worrying about a greasy feeling. I’ve also noticed a reduction in some hyperpigmentation and small dark spots I’ve had for years. The formula feels really gentle, yet effective, and it’s been great for keeping my skin tone even and bright. Plus, it’s incredibly affordable compared to other high-end Vitamin C serums on the market. The 1oz bottle lasts longer than I expected, so it’s great value for money. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to boost their skin’s radiance and fight dullness or uneven tone!

I love this product line. I have ridiculous sensitive skin and it took a long time for me to find a product that didn't irritate my skin. Their products feel so nice and hydrating. None of them are oily. Some are a little tacky when layering but I think that means you have to wait a little longer between layers. I feel the quality is great and I have seen results in a 60 day time span. I have deep forehead wrinkles that I am self conscious about and these products have done such a great job plumping my skin back out. All of the ingredients are safe for people like me with sensitivities. I was unsure how and when to layer so chatgpt whipped up a routine for me that I follow religiously. will be sticking with this line!

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this product absolutely deserves recognition. From the moment I received it, the quality and attention to detail were immediately apparent. Every aspect—from the design and functionality to the overall performance—reflects a level of craftsmanship that goes well above and beyond what you typically find. What impressed me most is how thoughtfully everything seems to be put together. It not only performs exactly as advertised, but it does so with a level of reliability and ease that makes using it genuinely enjoyable. It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating something that isn’t just good, but truly exceptional. Products that deliver on their promises are great, but products that surpass them are rare. This is one of those rare finds. I would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for something dependable, high-quality, and built to impress.

This has worked really well for my postpartum hyperpigmentation and decreasing redness to my skin. I love how it is anti-aging. Feels pretty good when you put it on and dries quickly. I like the price for the quality as well

I just started using this...using vit c serum in general so not much to say about it at the moment where results are concerned. The serum is not thick and absorbs fairly quickly so I'm not waiting too long to finish the other steps in my routine. Based on articles online, my skin is reacting as it should. It feels a little tingly when i just started but thats fading and it irritated my eyes a little so i avoid my eyes when applying. No noticeable fragrance. It's not very oily, and and my skin seems hydrated though I moisturize and use sunscreen after. I'll have to comment on effectiveness at another time. I don't find it to be very sticky, a little tacky maybe but not enough to be an issue or maybe I'm not using enough. Update: it's not the serum that irritated my eyes, it's actually my sunscreen so please disregard that portion of my previous review.

I had some uneven skin tone issues and was looking for something to help with balancing out the darker areas on my face and neck. I do have freckles mostly on my cheek areas so I tend to be prone to sun damage. I decided to give The Ordinary Vit C Serum a try back in early September. It's now been a little over 5 months since I have been using the serum in the morning and then in the evening before bed. I also use Cerave Facial Moisturizer AM with SPF/PM after I put the serum on. The serum is not a moisturizer so you definitely want to use a facial moisturizer after putting it on so you don't feel sticky and dry. Even after 6 weeks, I was already seeing an improvement and it just got better and better after that week after week. In fact, I'm now getting compliments on how good the skin on my face looks, which is really reassuring because that was not the case before. So for anybody else that is struggling with uneven skin tone from sun damage or whichever, I would highly recommend trying out the serum. Understand that it's not magic so it's not like poof...you're done. It does take time, but follow the routine and be patient.
