I noticed a slight brightening effect after the first few days' use (a.m.) but haven't seen any noticeable overall improvement, halfway through the bottle. Coincidentally I found the product very...

In general, I have to say that The Ordinary products are working very well. I tried this serum in my morning routine instead of the magnesium one. It makes my skin softer, and it feels not as dry...

Background: oily t zone, acne prone & redness I'm not really sure if this product brightened up my skin in the dark spots - like the shadow around my mouth. This serum has brightened the rest of...

I'll start with the pros. It works well with TO niacinamide to remove *recent* acne scars or PIH. Old PIH will take longer to fade and they don't fade as much as the recent scars. I noticed a very...

I love Deciem products for their simplicity and effectiveness. Unfortunately I felt this serum has done nothing for my skin in any way. The formula feels sticky at first and will cause any water...

Gentle (works nicely with Retin-a), effective and pleasing to use. well-packaged and cheap as chips. Not the fiercest Vitamin C serum out there but a good choice for a combination regime. Kudos to...

The Ordinary has healed my very sensitive, rosacea and acne prone skin. I use their hyaluronic acid as a base every morning and night. This smooths and plumps up my skin and prevents acne and...

I used this on every 3rd night for almost 2 months and saw nothing beneficial. I'm almost halfway through the bottle. One of my night creams has retinol in it - I wake up the next day looking...

It's hard to tell which product by the ordinary has improved my acne pigmentation and scarring but this is one of the three i've been using and I've had only positive effects.

A great option gentler than the more active ones, yet delivering great long term results. I mix it with arbutin pm and in the am with niacinamide. These three together are a miracle against...

This is best paired with the Niacinamide 10% from The Ordinary. On its own, it doesn't really give that much outstanding result. But when paired together spots fade faster, skin tone becomes even,...

My favourite vitamin C serum. Nice and gentle, lightens red marks and doesn't break me out. It is a little sticky at first but quickly sinks in and it doesn't pill when layered with other products....

A bottle lasts about 3 months. Feels sticky, especially layered with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% - leaves skin feeling tacky and takes a while to absorb I've been using this for over 4 months...

I tried the Vitamin C 20% & loved that so thought I'd give this a try. Unfortunately it's a no for me. Maybe it's because I was spoilt with their other products first, and saw dramatic results, but...

I'm a skincare junkie and had to try one of the Vitamin C products from Deciem's The Ordinary line. This did literally nothing and I used it consistently for months. On the other hand, it didn't...
