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. A case in point is the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% (30ml), a gentle serum designed to smooth, brighten and plump.
Want to improve the appearance of dull, lacklustre skin while you sleep? Cue The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres (30ml) treatment.
At the centre of this water-free formula is L-ascorbic acid (AKA the purest form of vitamin C) which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. Famed for its brightening abilities, this acid reduces the appearance of an uneven skin tone and dark spots. That's not all though; with the infusion of hyaluronic acid spheres, this treatment also hydrates and plumps the skin. It's ideal to use at bedtime, so you can wake up with a radiant, supple and more youthful-looking complexion.
Ascorbic Acid, Squalane, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Coconut Alkanes, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glucomannan, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Trihydroxystearin, Bht.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply a small amount to the face once daily, ideally in the evening. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Use sun protection during the day. A tingling sensation can be expected; if the sensation is too strong, the formula can be mixed with other oils of your preference before each application to reduce the strength.

Horrible texture
This is very dry and pasty, and made my skin tingle a lot. it was difficult to spread over my face with how pasty and dry it was, so I had to mix it with my serum. It was not as good as other vitamin C serums I tried, and the silicon in it makes vitamin c less effective.

First and last bottle
I'm not a fan of this but seem to keep coming back for more. I mix it with my serum to soften the gritty texture, but it can tend to make my skin burn a little bit. Not sure I will get more when it eventually runs out.

Works great in PM routine
My skin is combination and slightly acne prone and since using this in my PM routine I've noticed a definite improvement in my skin texture and tone. While I agree with other reviews that the texture is weird and it can sting a fair amount, I find it manageable as I only use a VERY small amount after cleansing and before using my night cream. I'll also allow about 5 minutes or so between applying this and applying anything else (good time to brush your teeth). This also means I get no problems with staining. This isn't a product for you if you're looking for an easy, quick routine but for me the results I've had make it worth the little bit of extra time and consideration.

Weir texture that leave residuals and cannot be absurd
This Vitamin C along with the Inkey list vitamin C all have kind of powdery texture and hard to dissolve when layering with my Glow recipe sleeping mask and Medik8 retinal even though it didn't sting my skin ( probably because it couldn't be absorbed, I reckon all of the amounts turned into residuals which hard to blend)

Giving it time
I find the product watery and grainy in texture. Tingles at first but is not uncomfortable. I look too shiny when I use this product so tend to use it when I'm staying at home on the weekend. My skin breaks out very easily so I am reluctant to use this AM and PM as the directions suggest. Not sure I would buy again but I will continue to use until it runs out.

Caused acne
Sadly, for me I suspect this is the reason for a pretty bad acne break out. Stuck with it for a skin cycle as I hoped it was just because it was a new active ingredient but the zits just got worse. I’ve never had any luck with any of The Ordinary products I’ve tried. Officially given up!

Not for me
It may well work as a vitamin C product, but the formulation is weirdly powdery, and it stung a lot more than I was willing to tolerate. It also pilled a couple of hours in to wearing it when coupled with SPF. I would not recommend this if you can afford to buy a more expensive formulation.

Nice for acne spots
I like it. Even my father uses it too. It helps in fading acne scars with time. It is a bit oily but is very nice and hydrating.

Not sure?
Purchased as my first vitamin c product, I’m 28 and I’m really trying to start investing in my skin before I have any problems! The product gives me a slight tingling of the skin which is fine, and I really didn’t mind the texture either. I started using the product every AM and PM but found my skin breaking out, which isn’t like my skin at all. I tried to persevere for 2 weeks with it being a new product but then dropped the product in the AM thinking I might see an improvement in breakouts but wasn’t so lucky. I’ve used it for 3 weeks in total but I’ve stopped using and my skin has since cleared up and is back to normal! Not sure if that’s normal for vit c products?? So I haven’t benefited from this product at all or seen any improvements in my skin at all. Hopefully I will with another vit c product!
