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

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.

Silicone sucks
Because it's such a high concentration in Vitamin C it caused my skin to react, I'd leave the house with patchy red marks on my face. I have used numerous facial products and have thick skin, oily T-zone due to my Brazilian heritage and I'm not allergy prone. I've had microdermabrasion in the past but I've never had the same reaction that this product gave me. Unfortunately, it's not got a patch on Boots vitamin c solution, which is the only thing I can compare it to. I would say invest in something a little more on the dear side if you want a satisfactory result. This just made my skin more sensitive the more I used it, especially around the nose. The texture (silicone) isn't great nor the smell. Sorry ordinary I love your other products.

Love it
I have been using this in combination with retinol from The Ordinary and have seen a tremendous difference. My skin is clearer and has a nice even tone and healthy glow. As people mentioned before, it stings in the beginning so I used it in combination with my cream, but after a while, my skin got used to it and now it feels fine even without cream.

Love
I love it. It tingles upon application, but it's worth it. I love the way my skin looks the morning after. Yes, it's a bit weird/greasy feeling, but I don't mind, I just use it at night.

Greasy
I have normal/dry skin and personally this feels uncomfortable on my face, the texture is slippery and overall the tingly sensation hasn’t hit me either.

Best product for troubled skin!
Have been using this product for just under a month and it has changed my skin. I hardly even experience breakouts and when I do they disappear almost instantly, and don't leave any scarring. Old scarring is also reducing and the elasticity of my skin is improving. It does sting when first using the product but that sensation dies down quickly and stops after continued use. My skin is smoother, more glowy and just so much better.

So-so
I'm not really sure how I feel about this product. I had purchased it in October and been using it since then, but I haven't noticed any remarkable changes in my skin. I actually prefer the Vitamin C serum I've been using this product. This product has a very weird texture and consistency, like a primer as it's silicone, but it makes me feel like I can't put anything on top of it – if that makes sense. In the beginning, I felt a stinging sensation, but now it barely stings at all.

Quick Results
I introduced this and the 0.5% retinol in squalene into my skincare routine and within 2 days my skin was noticeably smoother. The first few days there will be some stinging but it goes away and after a week using it regularly there shouldn't be any stinging. After 2 months using it, I definitely feel that my skin texture has improved drastically and my acne scars are starting to fade.

Not sure
I've been using this product for a few weeks now and not sure about it. It does sting a little after applying it but fades within a minute or 2. I think you need to use it 4 a while before seeing real results.

Burned my face
This has turned my face into red. It was definitely a burn, as it did not go away for few days. Had to stop on day 3.

I really like it
I've been using this for 3 weeks and I see the positive dynamics: my skin has already become more elastic, the post-acne gradually lightens. The first 7 days I had this "a very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation" (it's been said on the official The Ordinary site). I would recommend this product.
