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 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 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.

I’ve been using this serum mainly under my eyes for about three weeks, focusing on mild dark circles and that slightly tired look. I didn’t expect dramatic changes, but I’ve noticed a subtle brightening and my under-eye area looks a bit more even and less dull, especially in the mornings. The texture is slightly oily but lightweight, and it spreads easily with just a tiny drop. I usually apply it directly from the dropper to avoid wasting product. It feels smooth going on and absorbs within a minute or two without stinging, which is important since my skin can be sensitive around the eyes. For the price, it feels like a solid, low-risk option if stronger vitamin C formulas irritate you. It’s not a quick fix, and the oiliness might not suit everyone, but with consistent use it gives a gentle improvement. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a mild, steady boost rather than instant results.

I LOVE THIS SERUM!! Perfect consistency, not too runny. After 4 weeks of use I can feel a smoothening and see a brightening of my 78 year old skin. Very reasonably priced, as well. I have used much more expensive products in the past with no measurable difference in outcome. I'm very pleased!

AMAZING

All is good. But delivery takes a lot time.

anche se a volte sembra sapone sulla pelle.... uso ogni mattina. consiglio! x x x x xx x x x

Es una marca que me gusta mucho!! Este en particular creo que son de las mejores vitaminas C del mercado

So far so good! Although a little too early to show a real impact, it still smoothes skin and moisturizer glides on nicely. My skin is sensitive, but I didn’t have any issues since. I'm using it in the morning only prior to my moisturizer, as I'm using retinol and glycolic acid alternately at night.
