Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Here's what our community thinks
The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 12 ingredients
Great starter Vit C product. Would highly recommend for beginners as it's a derivative and not direct -> less irritation and interactions with other acids. Repurchased multiple times.
TruSkin Vitamin C Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E 18 ingredients
Best vitamin c serum, especially if you have oily, acne-prone skin. Most dermatologists and medical aestheticians would agree too.
