Description
A high-strength dose of pure vitamin C for skin that looks tired, dull or uneven. The Ordinary suspends 23% L-ascorbic acid in a water-free, silicone-based cream with hyaluronic acid spheres, so this famously unstable antioxidant stays potent until it meets your skin.

How to use
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening (the brand's preferred time) or morning. A slight tingle and a gritty texture are normal with this formula. Avoid using at the same time as direct acids, retinoids or peptides.
Good to know
This is a strong formula. Patch test first, start a few times a week, and wear SPF daily while using vitamin C.
