    I hate the texture of this product and, when used on damp skin, it smells like hot dog water but, it works y'all. A while ago, I was going through a hard time and I found it difficult to do my...

    I like this product a lot. I mainly purchased it for the dark spots on my legs but I have used it on my face as well and can see an improvement after just a few uses. It's really great for my skin.

    I have recently reintroduced ascorbic acid in my routine and wanted something that would not be too potent (I'm using other antioxidants in my morning routine, also from The Ordinary so I was after...

    This gave me bumps on my face as it really clogs up the pores. And I was just talking abt a single application. Really disappointed in this. Will apply on my arms instead of my face. Pity to...

    I've finished a bottle of this product. The texture is oily so it can make it hard to use in the morning, especially when planning to layer products. I didn't notice any tingling, allergic...

    My skin type: normal (oily in the T-zone area) with occasional break outs on my chin (about once every 2-3 weeks); skin color: light olive; age 46. It is hard for me to describe but The Ordinary...

    Was super excited to try this, however, it has an extremely oily feeling. This cosmetically inelegant feeling is something that I found common to all Ordinary products I've tried. It broke me out...

    My skin didn't care for this and I didn't see any of the effects I get with the suspension in silicone, which I greatly prefer, despite it being gritty and oily. The base for this product seemed...

    I tried very hard to like this but even I, a committed fan of the Ordinary, must admit it did zilch for me. Icky oily texture, sits on top of my skin so I definitely cannot use it in the AM under...

    For an oil-free product this has a surprisingly oily feeling to it. You can use this in the AM and the PM. I find it takes a little longer to absorb into the skin so you will spend a fair amount...

    I've used this over a year on face, neck and back of hands and there is NO difference in my melasma, or texture, or skin brightening. I took several photos of before and after and mapped the worse...

    What I love about Deciem is that if the product doesn't work or you're not happy with it, they will refund you. I bought this to help with to fight melasma patches and thought if it doesn't work, I...

    I've been using this over 6 months and I cannot tell a difference at all. This is my first time using a vitamin C product. It's syrupy and sticky and has an orange hue which I don't actually mind,...

    So I jumped on the Ordinary bandwagon and just went crazy. By far, this brand is one of the best skincare finds of the century. Most of the products worked well for me and considering the price, I...

    Since I was using the Alpha Arbutin anyway, when I saw it combined with Vitamin C, I jumped at it. The serum has a nice consistency, and helps a little with lightening dark spots. (However, it does...
