I like it.
My skin is acne prone. Have comedones, cysts and weird type of acne on neck... like fungal acne or hormonal acne for last 4 months. Postacne inflammation and pigmentation have given uneven skin tone. I have been using this serum with few cheat days for some 3 weeks now. It did not give me any new acne, so I find it safe for my skin condition. The discolouration and uneven tone is gone by 65 % - 70%. Only deep red pigmentation mark of those acne that i meddled with, is remaining. Since those look like haemorrhagic spots after squeezing acne, they will take time to vanish. I am happy with this product. It is mild enough and showed results in optimal time in my case. I used only this TO serum in morning after face wash and TO 1% retinol in squalane serum (3 -4 times a week) at night after face wash for these 3 weeks. I have been experimenting with a lot of products (including high end ones and others of The Ordinary) for last few months to find myself products that i can create a healthy skin care routine with. This ascorbic acid 8% + arbutin 2% serum will be a permanent part for sure.
dry skin
after my hydration cream, I add some drops of this and helo my asking to keep it all the moisturizer don't feel dry at all
Transforming
At first, this serum felt oilier than other Vitamin C serums that I have used. However, overnight I awoke to a glowing complexion and my skin was not greasy. I will continue to use, but only at night.
Great, even for oily or combo-skin
It's great, not much oily. Although right after application it feels a bit oily. I use it at might only. I could see results within 14 days. Brighter skin and faded acne spots within a month which would normally take 3 to 4 months. Smells weird, but not too bad. Good for night application but if using during the day, the smell might not be pleasant for everyone.
Vitamin C is amazing
I have skin that reacts to everything. I am so happy to have found “The Ordinary”, skincare line. Fragrance free and it has all the ingredients easily listed. Using these products is the first time in two years I haven’t gotten blisters on my face from a skincare product. I wash my face with warm water and a clean wash cloth. Let dry, You don’t need much of any of the products. You just need to use them consistently 2X a day. AM I use the Argireline first. Just a few drops. Then I use the Matrixyl 10%, 2-3 drops. Let dry. Put on vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid 8%, Alpha Arbutin 2%, 2-3 drops. I usually brush my teeth while I wait for this to dry. Then I add 2 drops of the Squalane to your SPF (daytime) or the Natural Moisturizing Factors (nighttime). My skin feels and looks amazing. I pay less for these products then I did before, and get better results. I absolutely love using this skincare line!
The Ordinary
Felt oily the whole night after application. Advisable not to apply too much.
