The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone (30ml)

Description

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone is a skincare product that contains a high concentration of vitamin C in a silicone base. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant that offers several benefits for the skin.

Benefits

• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors such as UV rays and pollution. This can help prevent premature aging and maintain healthy skin.
• Brightening: Vitamin C can help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, leading to a brighter and more radiant complexion.
• Collagen Production: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that helps keep the skin firm and youthful in appearance. Using this product may support collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Skin Texture: It can help improve the overall texture of the skin, making it smoother and more even.
• Hyperpigmentation: The high concentration of vitamin C in this product can be particularly effective at reducing the appearance of stubborn dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
• Acne Scarring: It may help fade acne scars over time and improve the appearance of blemished skin.
• Skin Health: Vitamin C is known to promote overall skin health by providing essential nutrients for skin repair and maintenance.
• Enhanced Product Absorption: The silicone base in this product can create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, which can also help improve the absorption and effectiveness of other skincare products applied afterward.

How to use

• Patch Test: Before incorporating any new skincare product, especially one with a high concentration of vitamin C, it’s essential to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of your skin (like behind your ear or on your wrist) and leave it on for 24 hours. If you experience any irritation, redness, or discomfort, do not use the product on your face.
• Evening Use: The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone is best used in the evening as part of your nighttime skincare routine. Avoid using it in the morning, as vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
• Cleansing: Start with a clean face. Remove any makeup and cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
• Application: Apply a small amount (about a pea-sized amount) of the product to your face. You don’t need to use a large amount, as this product is highly concentrated. Gently massage it into your skin. Avoid the eye area.
• Avoid Mixing: Do not mix The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone with other highly acidic or active products in the same routine. It’s best to use it on its own.
• Gradual Introduction: If you are new to using high-strength vitamin C products, consider using it only a few times a week at first and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin becomes more accustomed to it.
• Moisturize: After applying the vitamin C, wait for a few minutes to allow it to absorb, and then follow up with your regular moisturizer. This can help minimize any potential dryness or discomfort.
• Sunscreen: Vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Therefore, it’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning to protect your skin from UV damage.
• Avoid Mixing with Niacinamide: Avoid using The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone in the same routine as products containing niacinamide, as there can be compatibility issues that lead to flushing or redness.
• Consistency: Consistency is key when using vitamin C products. It may take several weeks to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, brightness, and overall appearance.
