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.

Not sure if this is doing anything...
From the mixed reviews, I was aware this would be quite an odd thing to put on my face, but I decided to give it a go. I am not sure it's doing anything, I've been using it for a month now and I really don't know if I can see any differences. It's definitely not been bad for my skin but perhaps I need to use it more to see the benefits. So I will keep using Vitamin C products, but won't be repurchasing this product. I didn't feel any tingling on my skin, but the problem is that it's not comfortable at all. It's rather greasy and grainy, and once I put it on my face it feels very heavy. I also ended up with an orange pillow... so now I have to put a towel on my pillow before going to bed. This product is too much hassle for me to consider buying again.

Serious skin care
This was one of those"I don't really know what I'm buying deals. The first night I used it I applied it lazily before bed, noticed a tingling sensation on my face but that was expected, but when I woke the next morning my skin looked so luscious & plump I couldn't believe it (then I noticed my nails & hands were dyed orange, apparently u should wash carefully bc it will collect & dye around the nail area). I can't say enough good things about this, only don't be intimidated by the tingling is the vitamin c at work. LOVE The Ordinary.

Dissappointing
I couldn`t wait to try this after reading the reviews. Not only have I seen absolutely no difference in my skin I can`t believe no one else has said that it stains the pillowcase yellow. Sorry but I can not recommend it and have thrown it away.

Not on my repurchase list
Smells like fake tan, has turned my palms orange, even when I wash my hands after use it gets in around my nails and hard/dry bits of skin, looking like I've done a bad fake tan. Too grainy for me personally, this probably isn't for you if you don't like silicone based products. Can't say I've noticed much of a difference from using this. Takes a long time to sink in and does pill if you haven't left long enough between applying next product.

Very sticky
I find the consistency very thick and sticky, so would advise using a very small amount on entire face and neck. It is also very grainy, which is ok to use before bed, as it is very slightly abrasive. I find it too sticky to apply before makeup. The tingling sensation is quite strong which gave me a few itchy heat spots. I have also tried The Ordinary AHA peel, which gives the same sensation. This does make me wonder if it is the same ingredient used to give a tingling feeling, rather than the actual active ingredient?

Do read the small print
This product is amazing and powerful, however, it DOES tingle and has a weird texture after application. However, it's something Deciem wants about on their website so I knew what I was getting into. At this price point, this cream is super potent and my skin has a healthy glow the morning after using this.

Contains fake tan
After using this serum a couple of times, I noticed that classic fake tan 'biscuit' smell. My hands are also stained orange. I'm not averse to fake tan but really wish this was made clear in the product description as it's not what I'm after in a serum! Aside from that, it has an ok texture and is quite hydrating.

Amazing if you don’t mind a bit of a sting
This is amazing, if you can deal with a bit of a sting on your face for a few minutes after applying it. The texture is a little strange but I just lightly apply it to bed. I have only used it a few times and I can already see a huge difference in my skin!! I never usually leave reviews on products but I had to for this one, my skin feels amazing, ride through the weird texture and the sting because it is 10000% worth it.

BEST THING I HAVE EVER PUT ON MY FACE
I LOVE The Ordinary, every product i have tried so far has been amazing, but this is a total game changer. My skin is literally smooth as silk! I use this at night after one of their serums, and apply my moisturiser on top. In the morning after i cleanse my face, my skin is absolutely smooth, all texture is GONE. My skin looks brighter, clearer and more even, and best of all it feels so much firmer! I will never ever go without this product ever again!!! I only use this at night as it is kind of sticky/greasy, it does recommend PM use on the tube. Do yourself a favour and BUY THIS CREAM RIGHT NOW!!!!!! Just for reference, my skin type is extremely combo. I have dry flakey patches, but also excess oil in the T zone and cheeks. I also have eczema prone sensitive skin and this doesn't cause any issues on my sensitive parts. It does tingle when you apply it, but that fades pretty quickly!

Very effective and controllable
I've seen great results with this after one week. I added a pea sized amount to some Korean bamboo water gel and applied to face and neck. It soothes and plumps and evens out the skin. I'd recommend adding it to a very mild gel/watery moisturiser to get the maximum benefit from the HA content and to minimize risk of irritation. I will alternate this with retinoid treatment.
