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.

Absolute best
Philosophy has a turbo booster vitamin C powder. I used to use that so much. That one is expensive plus they only give you 7 grams. This one is just like that plus so much product. You have to know how to mix it and it will give you the best results. I mix it with Cosrx snail serum on palm of my hand and rub it in my palm till it completely dissolves. After I put it on, I use a 50+ sunscreen. You will see the brightening same day. I use 3/4 part of spoon. If using for the first time, only use 1/4 of the spoon.

Awful
I love all the Ordinary products I have used so far, but this one is awful. My skin was full of huge cysts after couple of days. Plus the smell is horrible smells like rust all day long. it did not mix well with heavy moisturisers plus I have not seen any brightening or benefits.

Super efficient
The brightening power is insane - my scars and pigmentation spots are faded within 2 weeks of use. Highly recommended

Effective one
I like this powder, I can see changes for my skin already after 2 weeks (I was using every other morning, 1 scoop with my usual tonic portion and then cover it with moisturizer). My skin tone became more light, even, the pigmentation spots got more pale and exfoliating got more gentle and fast. At first I experienced some stinging and redness on my skin. But it was for 2 minutes on first 2-3 times when I used it. No more complaints!

I've been using this for just over a week now and I can see a huge difference in my skin. I haven't had any issues at all (except my hands have turned orange?). I have been using it alongside the Retinol 1% and they seem to be working really well together for my skin.

Great product if used correctly
My favourite Vitamin C product so far! Must be careful not to use too much and also should not be mixed with certain products (such as acids, peptides, niacinamide, etc.). I prefer mixing it with The Ordinary's Natural Moisturising Factors cream or Squalane based granactive retinoids (right before using it, I mix it on my hand). Can also be mixed with water but I find that to be very messy. Should start using it at a small dose and once a week and increase it gradually (to avoid burns and such). It helps get rid of acne and also quite visibly brightens skin. I feel like I can see a difference immediately in the morning!

Not too happy with this
Warning: I had big problem when used on my neck. Very raw, sore and bumpy skin. Didn't have the same problem with my face, and I am not even sensitive skin type. So be careful!

Be careful
I noticed no difference to my skins brightness, this product caused my skin to get red burns maybe? Like patches of sore red skin. Very irritated. Very drying even on my super oily skin also smells gross if you don't wash hands straight away. Smells like meat. Also leaves an orange tinge on my fingers! Thought it was rust! Very sad as heard such good things!
