More suitable...

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Not a bad product although I think it would be more suitable to slightly oilier skin types as its a gel-like texture and dried to a sort of matt like the texture on my skin. I prefer the vit c 23% to this. I'll give the other vit c products a try, I won't be repurchasing this.

Fantastic product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this product for a couple of months now and absolutely love it. It transformed my skin. I used to get oily and dry patches on my face but this for some reason has relieved it?! It's also slowly brightening my skin which is what it's meant to do! I don't find it sticky and my skin absorbs it really easily.

Nice

Ever since religiously using this in my routine, my skin is definitely brightening up. I use this after the glycolic acid 7%, noticing a nice change in my skin. Will repurchase.

Pilling on the skin :(

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

Haven’t really noticed anything yet, although it’s just been 2 weeks or so. I’ve tried using this in the morning beneath my sunscreen which is ok, but if I put liquid foundation on top it starts pilling on the skin which makes my morning skincare/makeup routine more time-consuming. I’m eyeing off the oil based vitamin c serum now as that should not cause this issue.

Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this as a serum after HA for some time every morning. I love it :) I do use a cream moisturiser on top too but yes it brightens up the skin and feels lovely once absorbed. I also wait a few minutes before adding moisturiser to enable it to be absorbed. Just purchased a 2nd bottle:)

I wish people would stop bashing this specific product for "rolling up". There are multiple forums, videos and articles about how to stop "piling" (yes people, the correct name for what is happening.) It is far less to do with the product itself and more to do with the amount you are using or the products you are using it with (i.e if you use something silicone heavy or at all with it - this can cause piling). Furthermore, the product is not intended to be used as the last step (i.e moisturiser should be applied on top) which is why it is sticky to the touch. Usually, the ingredients that prevent things being sticky are less beneficial to the skin and just add cost to the item. The ordinary do not use ingredients that they do not need to use. This product is amazing for skin brightening, perfecting skin texture and tone.

Love it

Amazing to get a vit c product at this price. Goes on sticky similar to most hyaluronic serums but that feeling disappears after a few mins or moisturiser.

Retexturizing overnight, but still too sticky!!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this on a whim as I don’t have issues with discolouration, however, this product was more effective at refining skin texture overnight and helping control a spot than the 2% retinoid serum from the same brand. Unexpected! Reach for it a lot. Knocked a star off because it’s so goddamn sticky and balls up like anything (by that I mean when you use moisturiser or makeup on top and you get the little rolled gluey bits in case that sounded ruder than I intended). I don’t expect anything from this budget brand to have perfect texture or performance though, I just expect it to very basically take care of the skin of people with low incomes (was particularly special to me, a skincare nut, when a period of severe illness forced me to live off an income of £5k).
