Anything but ordinary, this water-free formula provides 30% L-Ascorbic acid (a pure form of vitamin C) that remains completely stable thanks to the absence of water. When applied topically, this form of vitamin C has been shown to brighten complexions and defy multiple signs of skin ageing and the addition of very light silicones in this formulation means that it feels super-smooth on the skin. Simply apply at bedtime (you may experience a tingling sensation in the first weeks of use) and wake up to the skin you've been dreaming of.
Want to brighten your skin and defy signs of ageing (we're talking discolouration, fine lines and dark circles) overnight? You need The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone. In its pure form of L-Ascorbic acid, vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that has been shown to visibly brighten skin and reduce signs of ageing when applied topically. This waterless formula provides skin with a very high concentration (30%) of pure L-Ascorbic acid that remains completely stable due to the absence of water. The addition of very light silicones means that this formulation feels gorgeously smooth on the skin, although a strong (but non-irritating) sensation can be expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to a high concentration of vitamin C is improved (the formula can be mixed with other creams and serums to reduce this sensation if needed). Ideally applied at night, this fabulous formula works hard while you do the opposite, leaving you with smooth, bright and even skin when morning comes around.
Dimethicone, Ascorbic Acid, Polysilicone-11, PEG-10 Dimethicone
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 face in the AM or the PM (PM preferred). A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If this sensation is too strong, this formula can be diluted on each application with your favourite serum or cream.

I like the results but makes my skin smell odd overnight.

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension Cream in Silicone
I love this cream because it is the first Vitamin C that does not irritate my face. It goes on smoothly on the face when mixed with the moisturiser or serum.

Bit like opening a bag of crisps!!
I really like the matt smoothness. I think it's working, but early days. Would buy again and sadly am going to have to soon as there was so little in the container -I did wonder if someone had used it before me!! I'm assuming it's a fault during manufacture!! I will buy again and hope that the next tube is full...thankfully The Ordinary products are very reasonably priced

Great product
Although this is itchy when applied and slightly grainy it's a fab product. Best used at night for instant results in morning. I use it a few times a week and love it. Best to avoid eye area and lips if you have sensitive skin.

Amazing product!
Absolutely love this serum! It literally makes my skin feel like silk as soon as I put it on. There is a very slight tingle for about a minute but, other than that, beautiful!

Love once the burning stops
This is great product but I have to use it with a another moisturiser to help with the burning, I find if I do that it greatly helps with burning, then using it this way I find it helps with my pigmentation a great deal so wouldn’t be without it!

Great product, watch out for fake tan effect on palms!!!
Product wise I think this is a great product in terms of its results on my face. I have reasonably sensitive skin so use in the pm only, I experience tingling but have only been using it for a week. However, it’s either coincidence or the product but I have noticed my skin is much smoother and feels a lot nicer to touch than last week. Note I have also changed from using marine hyaluronic serum to hyaluronic acid serum so could be that too I guess? BUT - why oh why does it not warn you anywhere that you need to give your hands a good wash after using as something in the product has the same effect as fake tan!!!! The palms of my hands are very orange!! Weirdly my face doesn’t seem tanned, just the palms of my hands! I cannot believe I am the only one this has happened to and why there is no warning of this?! Not great. Also-wish it was sold in bigger tubes.

Hate it
I was really excited to start using the product however I was really disappointed when I started. It wouldn't absorb into my skin and would pile up and start flaking. So I did research and started using it in the beginning of my skincare routine. It still had the same outcome. It burns/stings quite a bit but not too much. Just don't use it if your skin barrier is damaged. I personally won't be using this product again. If you plan on using it please spot test.
