Skin shines
The product gives an instant glow thanks to a layer of shine. I don't know how to describe it, so I put a picture of my hand, where you can see the edges of the product. The product ist completely dry on the picture! I really like the shine even though I feel like it gets lost after I apply my moisturizer. Anyhow the layer might feel odd to some. Personally I don't mind it and the feeling also goes away after applying moisturizer

Gold in a Bottle
This stuff is incredible. Been using it for a few months and I’ve seen a big difference. I’ve always had dark circles and they are actually lightening for the first time in my life. It’s wild. And I know vitamin C doesn’t claim to reduce blackheads but after I started using this serum, my blackheads have looked better than ever before. Most of them are gone and the ones that are visible are so much lighter. It’s amazing. And my skin just feels soft and brand new. It’s the best product in my whole skincare regimen.

Better texture than others!
I’ve been through a few different vitamin c’s from the Ordinary - I loved the silicone suspension, but I found that I felt I had to use more product than I wanted to. I switched to the EAA 15%, but it was just so oily even if I let it dry, waited, moisturized, etc, that I couldn’t do it. This stuff has a much better feeling on the skin - lighter, slightly tacky but nothing to be concerned about. Highly recommend if you’re not a fan of other formulations from the brand - this is the lightest one I’ve tried.

Holy crap this stuff is amazing! I have been using a few The Ordinary products for a few months (niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, resveratol, retinol, and moisturizing factor) and my skin has been much better- fewer breakout and less oily, and the breakouts I do get heal quickly. But once I added this product into my routine, my skin looks better than it has since before puberty! My skin isn’t covered in tiny bumps, it’s bright and youthful, and it has faded some stubborn acne pigmentation. And this has all happened in less than a month of use. I get no stinging or tingling, I use it in the morning with HA, resveratrol, and moisturizing factor. In the evening I use the niacinamide instead of…
