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.

Awful
One word: dermatitis. Even if used in a tiny amount and mixed with a soothing cream, oils or vitamin E. Odd because I haven't had this reaction from any other vitamin C products.

Warning- this really messed up my skin.
I bought this and used it mixed with my moisturiser and with other ordinary serums- yes it tingles (felt more like small needles pricking my skin) and I ignored it because you are to expect that. Well i carry on and it completely dried out my skin (jaw/chin area) to the point that it looked like small burns in 2 areas and the rest completely dried out and rough (pumice stone rough!!) and you know how foundation sits on dry skin, right? So I’m basically looking like some kinda zombie waiting for my skin to heal up- not happy at all. My skin can be a tad sensitive, it’s mostly oily in the t-zone- be very careful, ladies!

I like it
I like it, I mix it with the Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% only once per week (cause I have so many serums to use and it's not allowed to mix the ingredients between them) and I really like it.The only problem is that my pillow case gets an orange tint after this :(

Brightening and helping to diminish acne scars
This is really helping to dull my acne scars and is slowing resurfacing my skin. I mix a small amount with the Ordinary's hyaluronic acid in the pm, after showering. I look forward to seeing the improvements the next morning and am rarely disappointed.

Leaves an orange tinge on hands.
I'm not sure how I feel about this product, the powder chunks up and the dispensing of it out of the jar is quite messy. I've been mixing this in with an avene hydrating serum at night but I haven't really seen any immediate results as what I've seen with the Clinique Vit C sachets. Also, when I don't wash my hands straight away, the next morning my palms have an orange tinge like what you'd get if you applied sun tan lotion which I found really surprising. This product has a lot of rave reviews so I do want to persist with it but so far I'm not too impressed.

Great product.
I loved this product, though a little bit goes a long way. I would recommend mixing into your usual facial moisturiser to make your skin glowy and radiant.

Brightening
I guess it mostly depends on which cream you mix it with, but so far I'm so glad I give this a try. Just a bit less then the full little spoon (that comes in the package) is enough for the whole face and neck. It mixes easily and quickly, tingles a little when you apply it, but only lasts few seconds then my skin is smooth and glowing, ready for the day to come! Thank you Claudia for the tip, I'll try to mix this into my legs cream too!

Крутой продукт
Лицо светится здоровьем. Небольшое количества порошка смешивала с кремом (утром и вечером). Моментальный эффект: кожа выглядит сияющей, здоровой. Очень довольна. "The face glows with health. A small amount of powder mixed with cream (morning and evening). Immediate effect: the skin looks radiant, healthy. Very satisfied."
