Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%

Product Overview

Frame your face with ultimate radiance. The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is a high-concentration, water-free formula designed for those who want the pure power of Vitamin C. By delivering 23% L-Ascorbic Acid—the gold standard of brightening—this treatment effectively targets dullness, uneven skin tone, and visible signs of aging. Because water can cause Vitamin C to degrade, this anhydrous suspension remains completely stable, ensuring maximum potency from the first application to the last. Supported by spheres of Hyaluronic Acid, it provides a smoothing moisture boost that leaves skin looking luminous and revitalized.

Key Benefits

• Intense Brightening: High-potency L-Ascorbic Acid provides a dramatic boost to skin radiance.
• Antioxidant Shield: Protects against environmental damage and oxidative stress.
• Evens Skin Tone: Effectively fades the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
• Advanced Age Support: Reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting natural collagen.
• Targeted Hydration: Dehydrated spheres of Hyaluronic Acid swell with moisture to plump and smooth the skin.
• Water-Free Stability: Anhydrous formulation ensures the Vitamin C remains active and potent.
• Resurfacing Action: Refines skin texture for a more polished and uniform finish.
• Direct Active Delivery: Pure powder format allows for high-efficacy treatment.
• Customizable Strength: Can be diluted with moisturizers for those with sensitive skin.
• Non-Greasy Finish: Despite the oil-like base, the formula absorbs to leave skin feeling supple.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• 23% L-Ascorbic Acid: The purest form of Vitamin C. In this water-free suspension, it remains in a fine powder form that dissolves upon contact with the skin's natural moisture, providing a direct and powerful clinical dose.
• 2% Hyaluronic Acid Spheres: These "filling spheres" act like tiny sponges that capture moisture in the skin, swelling to instantly smooth out fine lines and provide deep-level hydration.

How to Use

1. Timing: Apply a small amount to the face, ideally in the evening (PM).
2. Application: Massage gently. A tingling sensation is common and expected during the first 1-2 weeks.
3. Texture Tip: The formula is slightly granular (gritty) because the Vitamin C powder is suspended in oil. It takes a few seconds to feel absorbed.
4. Build Tolerance: If the tingling is too strong, mix a small amount with your favorite moisturizer at each application to dilute the strength until your skin adjusts.
5. Important: Do not use in the same routine as Peptides, EUK 134, or Niacinamide.

Who is it for?

• Advanced Brightening: Those seeking the highest possible direct Vitamin C concentration.
• Sun Damaged Skin: Individuals targeting stubborn hyperpigmentation and age spots.
• Mature Skin: People looking to combine high-potency antioxidant support with hydration.
• Dull Complexions: Anyone wanting an immediate luminous "glow-up."

FAQ

Q: Why does it feel gritty or like sand?
A: Those small "grains" are pure Vitamin C powder. Because there is no water in the formula, the powder cannot dissolve; this keeps it stable until it reaches your skin, providing a much higher potency than water-based serums.

Q: Does the tingling mean my skin is irritated?
A: Not necessarily. A strong tingling sensation is a normal response to high-concentration L-Ascorbic Acid. If it becomes a painful burn or causes severe redness, rinse it off and try diluting it with a moisturizer next time.

Q: Can I use this in the morning?
A: You can, but due to the heavier texture and potential for sun sensitivity, we recommend nighttime use. If applied in the AM, a high-SPF sunscreen is mandatory.

Q: Why can't I use it with Niacinamide?
A: High-strength Vitamin C and Niacinamide can conflict, potentially causing flushing or reducing the efficacy of both. Use them in separate routines (e.g., Niacinamide in the AM, Vitamin C in the PM).
