Achieve brighter, more even-toned skin with The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone. This high-potency, water-free suspension contains a powerful 30% concentration of pure L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), which targets signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. Known for its brightening and antioxidant properties, Vitamin C helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines while protecting the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors.
The unique silicone base ensures a smooth, non-greasy application, leaving the skin with a soft, matte finish. This formulation is stable and water-free, ensuring that the Vitamin C remains potent and effective for optimal results.
Key Benefits:
- Brightens skin tone: Reduces the appearance of dark spots and dullness, revealing a more radiant complexion.
- Anti-aging properties: Helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Antioxidant protection: Shields the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals.
- Smooth texture: The silicone base gives a non-greasy, matte finish, creating a smooth texture on the skin.
- Stable formulation: Water-free and silicone-based for enhanced stability and efficacy of Vitamin C.
How to Use:
- Apply a small amount to the face in the evening. After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount of the suspension to dry skin.
- Massage gently into the skin. You may experience a slight tingling sensation after application, which is normal.
- Follow up with a moisturizer. To reduce any potential tingling, mix the suspension with a hydrating serum or cream before applying.
- Use 1-2 times a week initially, then gradually increase to daily use as tolerated.
- Always apply sunscreen during the day when using this product, as Vitamin C can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
What to Mix It With:
- For extra hydration, pair with The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 or Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA after applying the Vitamin C suspension.
- You can also layer a lightweight moisturizer like The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA after applying to lock in moisture.
What Not to Mix It With:
- Niacinamide: Avoid using with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% as this may reduce the effectiveness of Vitamin C.
- Direct Acids or Retinoids: Do not mix with products containing acids (like AHA/BHA) or retinoids, as this can cause excessive irritation.
- Peptides: Avoid using with peptide-based products like The Ordinary Buffet, as acids can reduce the effectiveness of peptides.
Warnings:
- A patch test prior to use is recommended.
- Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
