Main Ingredients

✅ Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): This is the primary active ingredient in the product. Ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage, brighten the complexion, and stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

✅ Dimethicone (Silicone): Dimethicone is a silicone-based ingredient used to create a smooth and non-greasy texture in skincare products. In this formulation, it helps to improve the application experience and provides a barrier that locks in moisture.

✅ Polysilicone-11: Another silicone derivative that enhances the texture of the product, providing a silky and comfortable feel when applied to the skin.

✅ Pentylene Glycol: This ingredient functions as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated.

✅ Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Vitamin E is an antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin C to enhance its effectiveness and provide additional protection against environmental damage.

These ingredients work together to create a stable and effective vitamin C formulation , which can help improve skin tone, texture, and overall skin health when used as part of a skincare routine.

How To Use

To use The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening. Use your fingertips to gently massage the product onto your face, avoiding the eye area. As this formulation contains a high concentration of vitamin C, it's advisable to start with a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any irritation. It's recommended to use this product sparingly, as the high vitamin C concentration may cause a tingling sensation upon application. If needed, you can mix it with your moisturizer to dilute the intensity. Follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using this product, as vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
