Key Ingredients:
- L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – 100% pure form; a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, support collagen production, and protect against environmental damage.
Texture & Finish:
- Ultra-fine, loose powder texture that can be mixed into water-based or anhydrous serums and creams.
- Once mixed, it absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a non-greasy, non-sticky finish.
- Provides a slightly tingling sensation on application, especially at higher concentrations, which is common with potent vitamin c.
How to Use:
- Start with cleansed, dry skin as the first step after cleansing and toning (if you use a toner).
- In the palm of your hand, dispense a small amount of your usual serum or cream (preferably a water-based or compatible serum without direct acids, niacinamide, or peptides in the same step).
- Add a very small amount of The Ordinary 100% L Ascorbic Acid Powder (a tiny scoop or a pinch) to your serum or cream and mix until fully dissolved.
- Apply the mixture evenly over the face, avoiding the eye area. Use preferably in the evening; beginners should start with a low amount of powder and gradually increase as tolerated.
- Follow with your moisturizer if needed. During the day, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your routine, as vitamin c can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
Suitable For:
- Skin Types: Best suited for normal, combination, and oily skin; can be used on dry skin if mixed with a hydrating serum or cream. Not recommended for very sensitive or compromised skin.
- Hair Types: Not intended for hair use; this is a facial skin treatment.
- Concerns: Dullness, lack of glow, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, early signs of aging, and environmental stress-related skin damage.
Results:
- Some users may notice a fresher, brighter look and enhanced glow within days of consistent use.
- With regular use over 4–8 weeks, the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone may gradually improve, and skin can appear smoother, more radiant, and more even. Individual results and timelines may vary.
Side Effects:
- May cause a mild tingling or stinging sensation upon application, especially at higher concentrations or on sensitive skin.
- Slight redness, dryness, or temporary irritation may occur, particularly when first introducing the product or if used too frequently or in high amounts.
- Rarely, allergic reactions or severe irritation can occur in individuals sensitive to vitamin c or other products used in combination.
- Note: If severe irritation, burning, rash, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.
Precautions:
- Patch test recommended before first use: apply a small amount of the mixed product to a discreet area and observe for 24 hours.
- Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- For external use only; do not ingest.
- Discontinue use if irritation, persistent redness, or discomfort occurs and seek professional advice if needed.
- Use sunscreen during the day when using this product, as vitamin c can increase photosensitivity and sun exposure can worsen pigmentation.
- Do not use in the same routine with strong direct acids, retinoids, niacinamide, or copper peptides unless advised by a skincare professional.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep container tightly closed to maintain powder stability.
