The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%
7:12 PMThis is my third product I have bought from The Ordinary, having been impressed thoroughly by two of their other products which I have reviewed here the Matrixyl 10 % + HA and the Buffet serums.

I was looking for a replacement vitamin C serum as I knew I was about to run out of my current choice, the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum product (which I have gone through at least three bottles of previously) and I also wanted to branch out and try different vitamin C products for my skin and also for review purposes.
After having so much personal success with the other products I have tried from The Ordinary, I decided to try this vitamin c formulation, There is another vitamin c preparation that they have but I ended up choosing this one.
Let me tell you, the effect the next day was immediate. My face was considerably brightened! It was hydrated, smoother, softer just everything you want to achieve with these kind of products. I only use vitamin c products on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and the rest of the week nights I use AHA's and other skin care products. During the day if I am not wearing base products I will cleanse, moisturise and apply sunscreen.
The product component itself is again in a frosted dropper bottle. If you are not careful with the dropper and replacing the dropper back into the bottle, it can get on the bottle so be mindful.
Thankfully, it doesn't smell like citrus which I didn't like with the Drunk Elephant version. It is a clear, slightly viscous liquid which you can quickly smooth across your face, hands, neck and decolletage. It dries quickly and has an ever so slight tackiness to the touch on the skin. Once you apply another product on top that vanishes so it does layer very well. I used it for the allotted time of three nights and I am sold on this product. The effect is wonderful and for such an affordable price. There is not too much more to say other than this is a great product.
Once again, it is very affordable and I got mine in a 25% off sale. Otherwise I think it was approximately around $20 AUD for the standard amount.
Definitely recommend this product! Ten out of Ten! Holy Grail Status.
