The Ordinary - Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution
The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is an affordable vitamin C derivative serum formulated to brighten skin and reduce the signs of aging. It is in a water-based formula, so it is lightweight and comfortable on the skin. As long as you don’t use too much, it isn’t excessively sticky or tacky on the skin, and since it is oil-free, it isn’t greasy. It works well with other skincare products. Plus, it has no added fragrances, so you don’t have to worry about skin sensitivity from the scent. While I love the fact that you can use it twice a day, both in your morning and evening. I haven’t seen drastic improvements in hyperpigmentation on my face, but the fact that it provides antioxidant protection and fights free radicals while also being gentle enough to use every day without causing irritation is enough reason for me to continue using this product.

terrific
I really like this product, I use it every other night, alternating with the ordinary retinol. Small spots and imperfections disappear. I had a very small wart under my eye that I actually wanted to have removed, but this serum made it disappear by itself! I think that's really magical. And of course, I am very happy about that. So I would highly recommend this product, but I can imagine that it may not be suitable for every skin. I myself have a drier skin, but it may have something in terms of products, etc. For sensitive skin, I can imagine that the product is a little too intense. But for the price of the ordinary products, you can always try it out. Good luck!

Good price-quality ratio
I've been looking for a good serum for a long time and I've finally found it. This serum makes my skin smoother and reduces my pigmentation spots. The serum lubricates nicely and the price is also great. For my skin, it works perfectly and would recommend it to anyone to try.

Vitamin C is good for the skin
I'm a big fan of The Ordinary. My current routine consists of 6 products from this brand. Ascorbyl Glucoside is one of them. I use this product every morning. I can't tell exactly which The Ordinary product gives which effect. But my skin is much tighter and smoother. My complexion is nicer. The product is easy to tolerate for me. I'm not experiencing any itching or irritation. I will continue to use the product because of the benefits of vitamin C for the skin and am sure that it helps keep my already slightly aging skin in good condition.
