Gentle vitamin C serum that adds hydration and brightness
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like how easily this serum fits into my skincare routine. It has a lightweight texture that spreads well, so only a few drops are needed to cover my face and neck, making the bottle last longer than expected. It feels moisturizing without being too heavy and leaves my skin looking brighter, smoother, and more refreshed with consistent use. My skin also feels slightly firmer and more hydrated. I appreciate that the formula is fragrance-free because it is more comfortable for my sensitive skin. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen without causing irritation. Overall, it is an effective and gentle vitamin C serum with a good quantity for the price. ... show more

A Great Buy!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum for about a month now, and I’m really impressed with the results. My skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and overall just has a healthier glow. I’ve tried other Vitamin C products before that irritated my skin, but this one feels gentle while still being effective. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, which I really appreciate in the mornings. I use it daily underneath my moisturizing sunscreen, and it layers really well without feeling greasy or heavy. It fits easily into my routine and doesn’t pill under makeup or SPF. I’ve also noticed that some uneven spots and lingering marks on my skin look less noticeable over time. My complexion looks more even overall, and my skin just seems fresher and less dull. Another huge plus is the value for the price. Compared to a lot of expensive skincare products, this feels very affordable while still delivering good results. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts longer than expected too. Overall, I would definitely recommend this serum to anyone looking for a gentle, affordable Vitamin C product that brightens the skin and works well for everyday use. ... show more

My forehead is the smoothest it’s ever been!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this stuff. I even recommended it to my best friend, who typically has sensitive skin, and it works wonders for her as well with no irritation. I bought it because I was getting a little bumps on my forehead and chin that weren’t acne (I’m in my 30s), they were just clogged pores and no matter how clean I tried to keep my face, I still felt like there was dirt and grime getting in my pores from working outside. A week of using this stuff every other night and there was already a clear difference. I’m not talking wrinkles, I’m talking texture, my forehead is smooth like glass, and there are no more bumps caused from clogged pores/mini blackheads. I will use this forever. ... show more

AMAZING serum!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have used many other vitamin C serums (including $200 dollar ones) and this one I will say is just a good if not better! I apply in the morning, it’s non irritating and does not cause any burning or skin peeling like other vitamin C serums can. Very hydrating and leaves you with a morning glow! Has a serum like consistency with no harsh fragrances. Highly effective at an AMAZING price! ... show more

Decent product Decent price
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
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. ... show more

Writing my review after Consistently Using for 5 Months
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
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. ... show more

It works really well for pores!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Ordinary is such a great serum! I’ve been using it every day for over two months, and I’ve noticed amazing results on my skin. It gradually makes my pores look smaller and helps improve my overall complexion. Of course, it’s not realistic to expect incredible results overnight or even within a month because skincare takes time and patience. 😁 But this serum really works! My skin looks clearer and more radiant, and it also helps with sun spots and uneven skin tone. I’m really happy with the results! ... show more
