The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension Cream 30% in Silicone 30ml

I like this vitamin C product. It’s got a nice smooth texture, goes on easily, you can layer other products with it and you don’t need too much.  Beware though, it can cause irritation so you need to work up to this percentage of vitamin C or use it every other night to start with as your skin builds up tolerance. 

Had really high hopes for this as I'm a huge fan of the vitamin c suspension with ha spheres, but as that was sold out I gave this one a go. The formula of this - I suspect from the silicone - unfortunately just didn't agree with my skin. My skin is usually quite healthy and glowy, but this product made my skin so dry and lifeless that I had to stop using it. Everyone's skin is different, but something to bear in mind if silicone-based products tend to dry out your skin. I'll now be steering clear.

I have rather dry skin and I didn’t really like the consistency of this product. I think for someone with more normal or oily skin this would be great as it’s in silicone, but my skin just needed more moisture and hydration than this vitamin c gives. For dryer skin I would recommend the Inkey list 15% vitamin c serum as it has a more liquid consistency and feels more hydrating! 

Makes my skin very tingly, almost a sting, when first applied. Then seems to quickly disappear to nothing.

This product is wonderful on my skin. Helped with spots I get on my chin and gives a nice matt effect when applied. Highly recommend

Love this, it makes my skin feel noticeable smoother and firmer and the price is fantastic.

I think it’s a nice texture and doesn’t irritate my skin like other reviews say Yet to see a difference tho 

This product is okay- I dont think I'd repurchase. It's quite spikey on the skin, it does feel exfoliating but I'm not a fan of the texture. Vitamin C products ive used in the past can sometimes turn your hands a bit orange but this is extreme and almost instant.

Can already see the difference after using for approximately 2 weeks. Makes the face feel a lot smoother and pores reduced.

I bought this thinking it was a primer after reading one review but when I got it i realised it works for blemishes and fine lines too. This was perfect as i'd bought The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for blemishes in the same order. I have indented acne scarring and red blemishes on my cheeks and around my nose, since using this product i've found my skin looks much less aggressive, especially in the mornings. My overall complexion looks much more balanced and less red / blotchy. As it says on the box it's best to apply in the PM before moisturisers but can be used in the mornings too. Some people in the reviews used it as a primer and while it does work as a primer as it makes your skin look very smooth, you have to really let it set otherwise your makeup looks very patchy and doesn't sit well. It does tingle quite a bit when you apply - very similar to how The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution does. It has a thick paste style consistency and if you over rub it, it comes off like dried glue, so be patient with it. I will definitely be buying this again
