The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% 15 ingredients
This Vitamin C is not for beginners. I got a chemical burn because of this and had to take a break with some actives to restore my skin barrier. Turns out that I still had to dilute it with another cream / moisturizer so that my skin doesn't get irritated. I think there are better Vitamin C products out there. I guess a good point of this Vitamin C is that you don't have to refrigerate it and it Show more
Grainy
The graininess of this feels unpleasant on my face so I'm moving on to a different product.
