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. And your next essential is the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% (30ml), a brightening serum providing antioxidant protection.
Starring a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% (30ml) works to brighten, even skin tone and lessen the look of pigmentation.
Although less potent than direct L-ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside offers high stability and comfortable use, making it ideal for sensitive skin. As for the results? How do you like the sound of more even, radiant-looking skin with the appearance of dark spots and fine lines lessened, plus protection from daily stressors? We can see the beaming luminosity already...

The best
This is the best vitamin C serum i’ve used! It got my dark spots so much lighter. In the beggining it used to tingle a bit it doesn’t anymore. But it might be stronger for someone with sensitive skin

My daily vitamin c product
I use this every morning before my other serum and SPF and this, along with other products I feel has really changed my skin. I can’t pinpoint exactly what this product does to the exclusion of others but it’s lovely to apply, soaks in quickly and I don’t get any irritation. I think it has helped with the overall texture and tone of my skin and I’m hoping this will continue.

Great for redness
A great simple vitamin c serum to reduce redness. The second I go without wearing this for a while, I notice the redness around my t-zone is more prominent

A good addition to my routine
I like this formula generally and I enjoy using it in the morning. I don’t notice a huge brightening affect but my skin is generally healthier after adding this to my routine with hyaluronic and niacinamide from The Ordinary.

Better than Vitamin C Suspension
It was definitely less drying and more tolerable than the ordinary vitamin C suspension!!!

Best Vitamin C from the Ordinary
My sister swears by this product. It brightens her skin and she loves it. I decided to try it and it’s so good! Helped with brightening. This product should be hyped up more!

Effective
I’ve been using vitamin C serum for a year now and I’ve seen such an improvement in my skin clarity. This serum is a really good one and affordable but gets the job done.

Integral part of my routine
An integral part of my skin routine. Been using this product for over 6 years now. No problem for sensitive skin. Absorbs without sticky residue. Great product.

Best serum for fading acne
I have been using this product for almost 2 years now and it is very effective at fading my discoloration from acne and brightening my skin. I definitely recommend this product.

Amazing at reducing redness and brightening skin
I have been using this for two years now and I love this product. I use it in my day routine along with salicylic acid beforehand as the two are meant to go well together nicely. I have noticed a massive difference in the redness of my skin reducing, along with my skin looking brighter. In fact, when I ran out of this a while ago and couldn't find it in stock, I noticed how horrible my skin looked and felt without the serum, and how much redness had come back. 100% recommend to anyone struggling with redness or dullness to give this a go and see if it can help them.
