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...

Changed my skincare game
This is honestly the best combo i’ve tried with the niacinamide serum. I have noticed after a few weeks my hormone spots has disappeared entirely and my face is brighter and softer. I actually skip foundation now because of the dark spots/pigmentation that is beginning to fade. This is going to be a permanent staple in my skin care and already can’t wait to buy another bottle!

Lovely Results
My skin looks so much brighter and has an even tone now. Helped get rid of my dark spots and unevenness. Gonna buy another soon.

Great but...
It definitely makes you glow and is very effective. HOWEVER, I do not know if it is just my bottle but it always gets super stuck. If you live alone or do not have anyone in your house to open this bottle when it glues itself shut then I wouldn't suggest it.

Great results especially for the price
My skin has been a bit lacklustre recently, so thought Vitamin C would be a good introduction. I didn't want to spend too much as my skin can be reactive, so gave this a go and was very impressed. My skin is brighter and there was no reaction at all. I find the thick, oil-like texture easy to apply and like that it sinks into my skin quickly. My skin also seemed less prone to breakouts whilst using this but it may be a coincidence.

Vit c
I started with this from The Ordinary as I had never used VIT C before, it was a great starting point, it never gave me any reaction and I used it for months. I can now move on to slightly stronger one

Absolutely brilliant
I have the worst dry face ever and have tried many products until o gave up. I noticed how flawless one of my sisters skin is and she recommended the ordinary. Within a few days of using the product everyone notice a difference. My face is soft and supple. My dark patches are fading and my skin feels firmer. About to order my next batch. I can totally understand why they sell out so fast.

Made my skin glow
I have stubborn, oily, acne-prone skin, which wouldn't clear up no matter what I put on my face. But using this product (alongside niacinamide and rosehip seed oil from TO too) for only 2 weeks, I already see and feel the massive difference it has made on my face. It made my skin SO soft and plump, and I rarely suffer from breakouts anymore. It also comes in with a fairly low price, absolutely would repurchase this.
