How to Use
Note: The format of this formula is a suspension of very fine L-Ascorbic Acid powder and, as such, provides the most direct exposure of extremely high concentrations of Vitamin C topically. With such format, there are 2 important things to consider:
1) A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed on each application with other creams or serums of your preference.
2) The powder exposure to the skin disallows the formula to feel like a serum, lotion or cream and each application requires a few seconds to feel absorbed by the skin. This formula feels gritty for a few seconds after application. If you prefer to avoid this gritty feel, we suggest our Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone.

unusual texture
Not sure if it is normal or not but the texture is very gritty and I don't like to use it.

Love it!
Added this in to my Ordinary night time routine (rotating with lactic acid in substitute) and it’s amazing. Hardy notice the slight gritty feeling other reviews have mentioned. Small ML bottle than I thought but I didn’t read that part! And you use hardly anything at a time. So good!

The ordinary fan
I am really unsure on this one. It feels so strange putting this on as it has a gritty texture, so almost feels like sandpaper on the face, not exactly pleasant feeling however I can confirm that my skin does look amazing the next morning! I use this about once or twice a week as I also use the l absorbic acid. You will either love or hate this one. You only need the tiniest amount, about the size of a pea!

Not for me
I liked the idea of adding vitamin C into my routine but I found it irritating and at times painful. Will not buy again.

My skin seems to be clearer
I have been using this at night for 5 days now. My skin really seems to be clearer and smoother. I use it under my normal moisturizer. I don't especially like the gritty feels of it when applying but am happy because it works! This is my second time trying this product and I will be happy to re-purchase :)

Cool product.
Have experienced "tingling" but it goes after a minute or so. I like the texture, absorbs well. I feel like this is helping with pigmentation. Looking forward to results in the months to come.
