The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. Enter the 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder (20g), a powdered form of direct vitamin C that brightens and evens skin tone.
Meet your skins new BFF: The Ordinary's 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder (20g).
Powered solely by ascorbic acid (AKA vitamin C), this treatment is an effective antioxidant that brightens and evens out skin tone for a more youthful complexion. Want to know how? It provides the most direct exposure of extremely high concentrations of vitamin C topically. Okay, but how do I apply a powder to my face? Let us divulge... this powder can be mixed with other serums, creams or moisturisers (except those containing niacinamide or EUK 134) so it will slot in perfectly to any ritual.
Ascorbic Acid.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Mix a small amount with other treatments in the palm of your hand and apply to face in the AM or the PM. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. Do not mix with formulations containing Niacinamide or EUK 134.
If topical Vitamin C is used as part of skin care, it should be applied at alternate times with EUK 134 or Niacinamide (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and EUK 134/Niacinamide in the AM). Otherwise, EUK 134/Niacinamide can affect the integrity of pure-form Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid).
Top Tip: A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is to be expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use while your skins tolerance to vitamin C is elevated.

Not for me but can see it working for others
This broke me out but I later realised that it’s because I don’t suit any Vit C products at all . I’ve given it 4 stars though because while it didn’t work for me, I think it would be ok for those that are suited to vitamin C. The nature of the produce means you can adjust the strength to suit your skin. Plus the price point is great.

weird texture
It's the first time I use a product in loose powder form. I think I have to get used to the texture. I mix it with my moisturiser every morning. My face felt sticky and foundation couln't apply well. I just switched it at night. So now I have to get used to the stickiness

Loving this product
I am really feeling and seeing the benefits of using this. It's so easy to mix with other products, serums or creams so you don't have to layer up too much. I started with a very small scoop but now gradually increasing the amount. My skin on my forehead is much tighter already and it's only been a few weeks . Would highly recommend

Good product
Good product, easy way to incorporate into your skincare without waiting for a vitamin c serum to go off or destabilise. I just mix a small scoop with hylauronic acid from the inkey list

AMAZING
This product is amazing with a great value! I mix this powder with the ordinary HA serum or sometimes the Vitamin F serum or with my SPF creams and it is really effective! It can be strong so if you have a sensitive skin either use very little of it or don’t buy it. I finished 1 pot and the second one is almost finishing. I highly recommend this!

Love it
Such a great form of vitamin c. I like to mix it with a serum mist, I just find that's the easiest way to mix it in my hand. I only recommend it if you're into skincare and can be bothered to mix the powder. Also for 1st time Vitamic C users - be cautious as it is very potent

Really nice product
I love using this product mixed with the Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid and Drunk Elephant Protini moisturiser in the mornings. Need to find the right amount for your skin, and tangling at first is to be expected. But get the measurements right and it leaves skin feeling smooth and bright. A lot of product in the pot - I think it will last a long time! I love other more expensive Vitamin C products like Drunk Elephant C Firma serum, but this product feels strong and potent as well. Highly Recommend.

Allergy reaction!
I used to like The Ordinary. But I recently noticed that a few of their products caused me allergic reaction, including this one, and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. Areas around my mouth and eyes became painful, itchy, swollen and red. It took 2-3 days to get back to normal. I don't have allergy-prone skin and I have tried many different brands. This is the only brand and I am allergic to. I will not buy this brand anymore.
