The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% In Silicone 30ml

The Ordinary offers a Vitamin C Suspension as part of their skincare product line. The Vitamin C Suspension is a topical treatment formulated with L-Ascorbic Acid, which is a pure form of vitamin C known for its antioxidant properties and potential benefits for the skin.

Here are some key points about The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension:

1. Vitamin C benefits: Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radicals, which are molecules that can cause damage and accelerate aging. It can also help brighten the skin, improve skin tone and texture, and promote collagen production, which can contribute to a more youthful appearance.
2. L-Ascorbic Acid concentration: The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension contains a high concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid. The exact concentration may vary depending on the specific product variant, as The Ordinary offers different strengths (e.g., 23% + HA Spheres 2%, 30% in Silicone, etc.). It’s worth noting that higher concentrations of vitamin C may be more potent but can also be more challenging for some individuals to tolerate, particularly those with sensitive skin.
3. Texture and formulation: The Vitamin C Suspension from The Ordinary has a thicker and grainier texture compared to other vitamin C serums or creams. This is due to the suspension of the L-Ascorbic Acid in a silicone or water-free base. The product may require some rubbing or patting to facilitate its absorption into the skin.
4. Application: The Ordinary recommends applying the Vitamin C Suspension ideally in the evening, after cleansing and toning. It can be used on its own or followed by other treatments or moisturizers. Since vitamin C can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, it’s essential to use adequate sun protection during the day when using this product.
5. Patch test and compatibility: Given the high concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid, it’s advisable to perform a patch test before applying the product to the entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin. This will help determine your skin’s tolerance and minimize the risk of potential irritation or adverse reactions.

As always, it’s recommended to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine the most suitable products and concentrations for your specific skincare needs and concerns.
