Melissa, thank you for the tip on mixing this with a moisturizer. That worked really well for me! I found this product too gritty to blend into my skin on its own but using it as a "booster" with my Ordinary moisturizer was very effective. I also blend this with my Cosrx snail mucin essence and it's worked brilliantly together. This is a really good product to mix with something else. It gives my skin such a nice radiant glow.

Hey ! I think you purchased a lots of products and i don't recommend using them all once . Hyaluronic acide is great to use any time , after you clean your skin before any serums . But make sure to put a moisturiser or it will dry your skin . I personally don't recommend using acids at AM, except for hyaluronic acide(HA). So in your AM routine ,you can use niacinamide . In Your PM routine, you can use Azelaic and Vitamin C .For Lactic Acide ,it's for exfoliation ,so i don't recommend using it every day , Depends on your skin ,is it dry is sensitive . For Retinol, you ordered the 0.5 one ,i suppose you are just starting with. I recommend using it once or twice a week alone. Retinol is better alone . For ECG ,i believe it's for the under eyes. You can use it everyday twice. It is a bit late but just in case you see this . Also ,your skin doesn't need that much products. Like HYALURONIC acide(HA) is Already in the lactic acide and vitamine C . and it's probably in your moisturiser.

Hello Leonie, Have you tried skipping the Lactic Acid for a while or the Vitamin C suspension. Sometimes when many strong acids are used in a row, it can cause severe issues or irritation. The Lactic Acid + Vitamin C is pretty intense, especially for sensitive skin types. Do you also have burning and stinging? Either way, I recommend stop using it and figure out what's causing the issue!

Well, if your skin is sensitive it's likely that it is going to sting while using most Vitamin C products at least when it comes to the pure form of Vitamin C like Ascorbic Acid. However, I'm not a 100% sure if the same thing would happen with Vitamin C derivatives such as - Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% or Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F

I've never really tried to apply it on wet skin. However, I did use it on damp (just after cleansing) and dry skin which works well. You can try it. I do want to mention that if a product can quickly sink into the skin, this may be great, but on the other hand, it can irritate the skin as well because it is sinking into the skin too quickly which may be too much for your skin and can lead to stinging :)

Well, if you tolerate it when diluted, then you can certainly use it that way to avoid wasting the product. However, after that, it might be better to use 'The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside 12%', which is also a vitamin C product, or consider using a different brand such as 'G&G C-Glow'

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын
Hello Carmen, I think that this is not the most suitable for acne-prone skin since it is very "oily/heavy" on the skin. And the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% may be a better option. But generally, you can use it daily right away. If you do not tolerate it well, you likely won't survive the first application without irritation ;) If stinging burning happens, that is very unpleasant; it usually does not get any better (from my experience). Therefore, I do not like to use them; I prefer their derivatives or other brands that offer a 15% Ascorbic Acid serum that is much better tolerated and not as heavy.

How much product do you use? Here is what the Ordinary recommends: Patch testing - We recommend avoiding unprotected solar exposure, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin. For more information on how to do a test patch, please visit our Patch Test Guide on The Ordinary website. Order of Application - We suggest using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration. Generally, we recommend applying water-based solutions first, followed by oil formulations, and finally cream/suspension formulas. If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck. Acne - Just as a note - none of our products can be considered medical treatments for acne, so we suggest consulting with your physician to see what may work best for your skin. :-) Pregnancy - While each ingredient has been tested and is considered safe for topical application, DECIEM products have not been tested on pregnant or breastfeeding people. When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Yes, it is not the best formulation, especially if you have normal to oily skin. For dry skin, it may work, but you could use their Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% instead. It is a good vitamin C derivative that absorbs quickly into the skin. Another option is the Timeless vitamin C, which is also not bad. However, if you're specifically looking for an Ascorbic Acid formulation, I recommend G&G G-Glow. It is very affordable and works great.

Yes, you can use it daily at night. Please note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. The powder exposure of the Vitamin C Suspension disallows the formula to feel like a serum, lotion or cream and each application requires a few seconds to feel absorbed by the skin. This formula feels gritty for a few seconds after application. If you prefer to avoid this gritty feel, I suggest our Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone.

No, it's best to use it in the PM. Vitamin C is sensitive to light and heat and may cause dark patches on the skin when used during the day because it oxidizes.

Technically yes, but based on my experience, that can really lead to stinging or burning on the skin. So I wouldn't recommend alternate days.

Hey :) The Ordinary prefers = recommends using their pure forms of Vitamin C in the PM but I'm not sure why, since you can also use it in the AM. I think that it might be because people forget to use their sunscreen after that🤔 You can use the Vitamin C Suspension in the AM and your Retin a in the PM 😊

Yes, you can certainly try that! :) However, I believe it might be too potent for you, and I still recommend opting for the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% solution. You'll likely enjoy using it, and it should not cause any irritation!

When using it in the evening (which is recommended), leave it on the skin for the entire night and wash it off the next morning.

Hey 🙂 You cannot use Buffet Copper Peptides with the Vitamin C Suspension. However you can use them with Alpha Arbutin. So you need to create two routines. Cleanser Buffet Copper Peptides Alpha Arbutin and Cleanser Alpha Arbutin Vitamin C Suspension If you use the products in the morning, do not forget your sunscreen.

OMAIGOD. I just wore this vitamin C with the ordinary niacinamide serum. I felt so bad after watching this.😭 Yet, it's true that my face felt tingling right afterwards and i was so afraid that my application is wrongg. True, no NIACINAMIDE in the same routine ! So much regret ! 🥺

Hey! :) Don't worry, it won't harm your skin! However, it may destabilise one of them (Vitamin C or Niacinamide) which you can't see with your eyes and then you may not get the benefits of both. Therefore, it's best to keep them separate. Still Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) and Niacinamide is a very controversial topic. If the tingling sensation becomes too strong, dilute it with another serum (not Niacinamide) or moisturiser.

@@muhammadadambinarifffadzli1005 Use either Lactic Acid or Glycolic Acid as your exfoliant otherwise you will exfoliate your skin too often and may lead to irritation. Apply Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid on 'dry skin' so after you have rinsed off your cleanser, take a towel and pat it dry.
