    I just repurchased 2 more of these!

    I started using this product last summer! At first was really hesitant in using this because of the more than slight tingling sensation i felt. But i kept at it because they had told me that the tingling was a common side effect.
    After almost a year of using this i can definitely say that this product is really effective for my skin. My skin looks much tighter and brighter now.
    Pros:
    - makes my skin brighter
    - super affordable!
    - doesn't break me out
    Cons:
    - just a slight tingling sensation at the start
    - the bottle is quite small so i have to repurchase often (good thing it's cheap af)
    Would definitely recommend this to someone who's starting to incorporate vitamin c in their routine!

    Best Vit C

    i really like this vitamin C and not just for the price! it feels just like the Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C™ Power Serum that i love but much cheaper, it soaks in nicely and goes under other products so nicely! i would recommend to anyone who likes Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C™ Power Serum

    DARK SPOTS BE GONE

    This product transformed my skin and made it so bright and even toned. It is a very high % of vitamin c so if you have sensitive skin beware it may not be the product for you. The ordinary has many different forms of vitamin c that may better suit sensitive skin but this one is amazing for only $6.

    Amazing product

    A friend recommended this vitamin C, and I loved it! I never had a skin routine, and my skin was awful, but now I do and this Vitamin C is part of it. The product is super affordable and it is great! I highly recommend it.

    Not my favorite

    This product works well as I can tell by the tingling, but I really didn’t dig the HA spheres. The texture is just too gritty for my liking. I switched to the silicone version and am much happier with that.

    maybe not for everyone, but i love this

    strong vitamin C, stinky, your face turn red after applying it. This is a bit watery than the 30% silicon one, but both are strong. Your skin may not like it and i don't think this is for everyone as it is not a mild formula. however i personally like it and noticed that it fades dark spot (left by acnes) quickly.

    Amazing!

    I bought this serum hoping it would replace my other much-too-expensive vitamin C serum and I am in love! This serum is under $6 per ounce and it is quite possibly the cheapest vitamin C serum in the market. This serum is STRONG and I wouldn't recommend to those that haven't built a tolerance for it. I also strongly recommend a sunscreen daily even though you would indoors daily. I use this after cleansing my face and hydrating toner. Then I would apply sunscreen on top.

    My face hasn't been this clear since high school! This serum has a slightly gritty texture and it could be harsh for daily use for beginners. It doesn't have any particular smell to it with a simple squeeze plastic bottle.

    I would recommend anyone who is interested in using vitamin C in their routine to try this. For beginners it would be best to use it only two or three times a week till tolerance is built.

    Unique product

    This unique cream acts as a skin renewer, exfoliant, serum in one. Use a pea sized amount or less. There’s a tingle once applied to DRY, just washed skin. The tingle means it’s working, don’t worry. Then I brush my teeth. After two minutes my face is ready for moisturizer. I’ve noticed an improvement in texture, dark spots lightening.
    Such a great price too. Sephora can’t keep it in stock unfortunately, it’s that good of a product.

    Effective but horrible to use

    This product works. I could see results after the first day! But the experience of using it is so awful, I don't think it's worth it. It's gritty, greasy, and it stings after a few uses. There are other effective and less unpleasant Vitamin C options so I've moved on. I'll use this on my hands until I've emptied the product, and won't repurchase.

    The struggle is worth it!

    When I first started using this, it was a struggle, but in the end, I think it's worth it! I first used this alone (after my essence and serums) and it stung. It wasn't too bad but I don't have sensitive skin. To me, that just meant it was doing something. However, my main problem with it is that it pills. If you rub it into your face for too long/rub your face after putting it on it'll peel off into chunks. I've tried mixing it into my serums and moisturizers which helped, but it won't work with everything (it'll curdle). I found that mixing it with something of a similar texture and then adding something with more slip will work best. I mix mine with Clinique's smart serum and then add moisturizer/oil for extra spreadability if I need it. After using this for 2 months, my scars have faded quite a bit! (I also use this in conjunction with alpha arbutin so maybe it's that too!)
