If you like we can let you know when we have some more.

Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces the appearance of signs of aging.

The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder offers a very fine L-Ascorbic Acid powder that visibly targets the appearance of uneven skin tone, dullness, and signs of aging and is formulated to be mixed with other treatments (except those containing Niacinamide or EUK 134).

The format of this formula is a suspension of very fine L-Ascorbic Acid powder and, as such, provides the most direct exposure of extremely high concentrations of Vitamin C topically. With such format, a very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated.

If topical Vitamin C is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with EUK 134 or Niacinamide (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and EUK 134/Niacinamide in the AM). Otherwise, EUK 134/Niacinamide can affect the integrity of pure-form Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid).

This formula is water-free, alcohol-free, nut-free, gluten-free and vegan.

Directions

Mix a small amount with other treatments in the palm of your hand and apply to face in the AM or the PM. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. Do not mix with formulations containing Niacinamide or EUK 134.

Ascorbic Acid.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A good vitamin C solution. I wanted a stable L-ascorbic acid and this powder to mix in your moisturizer for example is a good solution. Best applied in the morning before your sunscreen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works, but be careful not to use too much! This product is not for the skincare beginner. If you use too much (one whole scoop), you can end up with acid burns, which is what happened to me. My skin recovered very quickly, but now I'm very careful to use the tiniest amount. Another minus is the weird smell that develops when it comes into contact with the skin. Otherwise, this powder is a great and inexpensive option for adding vitamin C to your skincare routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommend I have struggled with acne since having to wear masks. This has helped to prevent new spots and to fade marks left by old ones. Best used with ferulic acid as recommended by the ordinary. Can feel a bit gritty to apply sometimes but fine as long as it's mixed in properly and definitely worth it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing product I bought this powder to brighten my dark spots, I mix it with azelaic acid cream and it works wonders! People started complimenting me about my glowing complexion after only 3 days of use! Highly recommend, great quality for an affordable price!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Gritty Tried different quantities of the product with different moisturisers but it was still quite gritty. Could use it long enough to see how well it works. Bought something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality budget vitamin c Takes a few weeks for your skin to adjust to and to find the right combination to mix with that suits BUT there's definitely been a noticeable difference in texture and tone.

Can I mix this powder with the ordinary Alpha arbutin2% + HA?

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi, please send your query to care@feelunique.com. Thanks

can I mix this with my DHC Coenzyme Q10 moisture gel in AM and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F in PM. I have Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane and Lactic Acid 5% + HA. Please advice which I can use and when with Buffet copper peptide

Asked by: Saffi
Hey there, For products that aren’t from The Ordinary unfortunately we won’t be able to advise on whether it’s safe to mix their Q10 moisturiser with any of their products as they haven’t been tested for this. We would also recommend the below options for you: AM: Buffet + Copper Peptides Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate 20% *if desired* PM 1: Buffet * copper peptides Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate 20% PM 2: Lactic acid 5% Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Hope this helps! Many thanks Katie, Beauty Expert.

What "other treatments" can this product be mixed with?

Asked by: Stesha
Hi there, The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder, it can be mixed with most water-based serums or moisturisers from The Ordinary. The ones the customer should definitely avoid would be the following: Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Buffet Buffet + Copper Peptides 1% Matrixyl 10% + HA Argireline Solution 10% We would also advise against mixing it with any of our direct acids or retinoid products unless your skin is super hyper non-sensitive! The Ordinary highly recommend the Natural Moisturising Factors + HA or the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. They could also use an oil, although the powder will not dissolve in oil and so therefore may feel slightly gritty! Hope this helps. Thanks Katie, Beauty Expert.
