I use The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid + Alpha Arbutin after 1 month it started turning yellow, and I read online putting it in the refrigerator help return the product clear and last longer. It’s now 4 months and the Ascorbic Acid + Alpha Arbutin is still clear which means the active is good. 😊

The Ordinary has been really hit-or-miss for me. I'm only using what I currently have because I hate wasting product, but I would not recommend the C suspension with HA spheres or the Resveratrol/Ferulic serum at alllll. I respect what they're trying to do, but I'm someone who doesn't wear makeup, so skincare is my self-care and indulgence. I want to enjoy using products, and it's pretty hard to consistently use products that you hate feeling on your skin.

The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F helped me sooooo much with acne scars. I had literally big dark patches on my jaws and cheeks and they are GONE right now. I still have acne but the blemishes faded so well. I recommend that one to everyone with dark spots 👌

The TO Vit C 23% was the first vitamin c I bought and I loved what it did to my skin. It is gritty, and it does feels weird the first 2 weeks, but you can barely feel it tbh. The con is that I can't use it during the morning cause it makes my skin a little oily, and since I am now using AHA at night I need to find a good and cheap vitamin C to use at daytime. Great video!

You should look into doing audio books or voice over work as a side hustle because your voice is so soothing. I’ve been using Good Skin Days (from Charlotte Cho) 10% Vitamin C and I enjoy it. But I’ve been slowly transitioning into a k-beauty routine and I noticed this type of regiment doesn’t use Vitamin C, so I’m having a tough time trying to figure out when to use my vitamin c serum when using Toner, Essence, BHA, sheet mask, etc.
@MC-ko2mx3 жыл бұрын
Some KZfaqrs, like Gothamista believe that Vitamin C should be used in the AM, and be the first product to go on clean, bare skin. Apparently this gives the Vitamin C the best chance of being absorbed. Once it's in, it (theoretically) stays in the skin for up to 72 hours. So you could layer products in whatever order you prefer *after* your Vitamin C product.

i have very acne prone skin and the ordinary worked for me a year ago, but i stressed over a stupid ap test last year during quarantine and I’ve never been able to clear my skin since. When it cleared , I used Cerve face wash, curology, and the cerve daily moisturizer. It worked for a while but once I saw that all I had was a couple scars , I switched to the ordinary niacinmade and alpha arbutine in place of the curology. It worked so well. My skin was glass clear. I ran out of the niacinimide and alpha arbutin for only a day or two and I’ve never been able to clear my skin after that. It didn’t work the same. I switched back to curology but it doesn’t work the same as when I first used it. Tonight I just switched back to just the cerave hydrating cleanser , niacinimide, alpha arbutin, and then the vitamin c 10% suspension and I’m really scared because this is my first time using the vitamin c suspension AND my first time in months using the ordinary again. I want you’re opinion because I’m desperate to clear my skin. I’m tired and have been trying to get my skin back to how it was last year.

Hi Cathy, Interested to hear more about the conflict between Vitamin C and Niacinamide? I thought that mixing the two was fine, as the conversion of niacinamide to niacin only occured under very specific conditions (high temperatures over the course of weeks etc). I am aware that TO warns against mixing the two. But OTOH, reputable sources such as Kind of Stephen, and Paula's Choice definitively state they can be used together.
@laurapina13953 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure if you researched and got your answer already but I'll just leave a comment in case you haven't. The two can be used safely together, however, The Ordinary formulated their products in a way that they cannot be used together. I hope that cleared any confusion.

I used 100% L-Ascorbic acid for about 2 years with wonderful results. I always thought it was what faded my skin damage (dark spots) but after cheking on the ordinary website, they seem to recommend the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% instead to treat dark spots from sun damage. So now I'm not sure if the powder did fade them or it is something else and since I still have some dark spots left that I want to get rid of, I bought Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%. Do you think it would be a good idea to add a bit of L-Ascorbic acid powder in it to make it more potent (as I wish to not downgrade the potency)? Thanks a lot in advance.
