Texture & Feel

This treatment has a rich, water-free cream suspension with a slightly gritty or grainy texture, which is completely normal due to the finely milled Vitamin C powder remaining suspended rather than dissolved.

As the product absorbs, the gritty sensation gradually fades, leaving the skin smooth and radiant. Users with sensitive skin may prefer mixing it with a moisturizer to improve comfort during application.

Product Overview

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is designed for users seeking a potent vitamin C treatment without water, which helps keep L-Ascorbic Acid stable and effective. The high concentration of vitamin C helps visibly brighten skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve signs of aging by supporting collagen production. 2% Hyaluronic Acid Spheres help deliver hydration and improve comfort despite the formula’s high strength. Because of its potency, a temporary tingling sensation during the first few weeks of use is expected as the skin builds tolerance.

How to Use

• Apply a small pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin.
• Use once daily, preferably in the evening.
• Avoid the eye area.
• Follow with a moisturizer if needed.
• Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
• Beginners may mix a small amount with moisturizer to reduce the initial tingling sensation.

How Not to Use

• Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
• Do not combine in the same routine with Retinoids, Direct Acids (AHAs/BHAs), Copper Peptides, EUK 134, or Niacinamide Powder.
• Avoid contact with the eyes.
• Discontinue use if severe irritation occurs.

Who Can Use

FAQ

Why does this product feel grainy?
The slightly gritty texture is normal. The finely milled Vitamin C powder remains suspended in the water-free formula instead of dissolving completely, which helps maintain its stability and potency.

Is the tingling sensation normal?
Yes. A mild tingling or stinging sensation is common during the first few weeks as your skin adjusts to the high concentration of pure Vitamin C.

Can I use it every day?
Yes. Apply once daily, ideally in the evening. If your skin is sensitive, begin with a few applications per week and gradually increase frequency.

Can I use it with Retinol or exfoliating acids?
No. To reduce the risk of irritation, use Retinoids and Direct Acids in alternate routines rather than together with this product.

Is this product pregnancy safe?
Yes. Based on the official ingredient list, this formula is generally considered pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. It contains pure L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Hyaluronic Acid, which are widely regarded as safe for topical use during pregnancy. It does not contain retinoids or hydroquinone. As always, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before introducing new skincare products.

Important Note

For external use only. A temporary tingling sensation is expected, particularly during the first few weeks of use. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as Vitamin C works best as part of a sun-protection routine. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
