Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%

Share information about your product.

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is pure L-Ascorbic Acid powder suspended without water or silicone — the most direct topical Vitamin C exposure the brand offers. That directness is the whole point, and it comes with a trade-off worth understanding before you buy: the formula feels gritty for a few seconds on application, and it tingles strongly for the first week or two.

🎯 What It Does

• Brightens skin tone — pure Vitamin C at very high concentration
• Reduces signs of ageing — addresses lines and general visible ageing
• Maximises delivery — no silicone means the entire powder content reaches the skin directly
• Provides antioxidant defence — protects against environmental damage
• Stays completely stable — the absence of water prevents Vitamin C oxidation

🔬 Key Ingredients

• L-Ascorbic Acid 23% — pure Vitamin C in fine powder suspension
• Hyaluronic Acid Spheres 2% — support hydration alongside the Vitamin C
• Squalane — softens the base and supports the barrier

📋 How to Use

1. Apply a small amount to the face, preferably in the evening.
2. Avoid contact with the eyes.
3. Allow a few seconds for the powder to absorb — the gritty feel is brief and expected.
4. If the tingling is too strong, mix it into a cream or serum of your choice at each application.

What to expect. A strong but non-irritating tingling sensation is normal for the first one to two weeks while your skin builds tolerance to this level of exposure. The formula does not feel like a serum or cream — the powder suspension means each application takes a few seconds to absorb and feels gritty briefly. Both are inherent to the format, not faults.
