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.

Frightening
I’ve only used this for the last two nights but I’m not sure if I should use it again. I read that it can sting and I did have a stinging sensation below my right eye on the first night, but no where else. I was surprised at how dry/powdery the cream was on my face but didn’t use another moisturiser on top that first night to see how it was in the morning. The only visible difference the next morning was a slight puffiness under my right eye that had stung the night before. I used it again last night and added a light moisturiser too. Again it stung below my right eye. This morning I look like I’ve been punched! Below my right eye, it is swollen and a deep line from the corner of my eye round to my cheekbone has appeared that has never been there before. After a cold compress it has reduced slightly but it still looks bad.

Great but...
My skin is definitely looking brighter after using this at night for a week. But it's turning my hands and pillow orange.

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.
