THE ORDINARY VITAMIN C SERUM

I started this serum on Monday and am quite pleased with it. I've tried Skinceuticals and Obagi C serum, but so far this is a front runner. I think I said I would review it. Of course, I can't see results yet, but like the way it goes on and dries down more quickly so I can get on with my skincare.

 

Anyone else use this and have an opinion?

I heard about this serum but haven't tried it. It's suppose to brighten skin and help with facial lines. Isn't that what Retin a does, also? I'm thinking that applying both to your skincare routine might show quicker results. Or doesn't it work that way?

@teganslaw   Yes, both brighten skin and help with discoloration. I use Retin A at night and C serum during the day. I guess it's a double chance to improve the look at your skin.

@Shanus  Which one are you using?  TO has at least 5 different ones, if not more, with different types of Vit C in each.

@decaf   Oh, wow. It says" "Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15% Solution". Sorry I didn't include complete info.

Thanks, @Shanus. A few years ago I tried one type they sell and it stayed very sticky on the skin.  It was awful.  Too bad I can't remember which one that was!

I am using Isomers with the same C ingredient and potency and also has Ferulic Acid.

I use a lot of TO's products but not their Vit C.  I'm on my 2nd bottle of Missha Vita C tho.  It contains lots of ingredients.  I don't know why I haven't tried TO's Vit C.
