The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% (30ml)

Description

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is a skincare product that combines vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to address various skin concerns

Benefits

• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollutants. This protection can help prevent premature aging and maintain skin health.
• Brightening: Vitamin C can help fade dark spots, pigmentation, and acne scars, leading to a more even and brighter complexion. It inhibits melanin production, which can reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
• Collagen Production: Vitamin C promotes the synthesis of collagen, a protein essential for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Hydration: The inclusion of hyaluronic acid (HA) in this product provides hydration to the skin. HA is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture, leaving the skin plump and well-hydrated.
• Exfoliation: The product’s gritty texture provides a mild physical exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. However, this should be used with caution, as the texture can be too abrasive for some skin types.

How to use

• Patch Test: Before incorporating the Vitamin C Suspension into your skincare routine, it’s advisable to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product on a discreet area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear) and leave it on for 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions or irritation. If you experience redness, burning, or significant discomfort during this time, do not use the product on your face.
• Use in the Evening: This product is best used in the evening as part of your nighttime skincare routine. Vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so using it at night helps minimize the risk of UV damage.
• Cleansing: Begin with a clean, dry face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
• Application: Dispense a small amount of the Vitamin C Suspension (about the size of a pea) onto your fingertips.
• Mix (Optional): You can mix the product with a small amount of your preferred moisturizer to dilute the potency and reduce the risk of irritation. This is especially helpful if you have sensitive skin. Mix the two together and then apply it to your face.
• Apply to Face: Gently apply the Vitamin C Suspension to your face, avoiding the eye area. Smooth it evenly over your skin using upward and outward motions. Take care not to use too much product, as a little goes a long way.
• Wait: Allow the product to fully absorb into your skin. It may tingle or feel slightly gritty due to the vitamin C and hyaluronic acid spheres. This is normal and should subside after a few minutes.
• Follow with Moisturizer: After the Vitamin C Suspension has absorbed, follow up with your regular moisturizer to seal in the benefits and provide additional hydration.
• Sunscreen (Morning Routine): When using this product, it’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning. Vitamin C can increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV radiation, so sunscreen helps protect your skin from sun damage.
• Gradual Use: If you are new to using high-concentration vitamin C products, start by using it 2-3 times a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin becomes accustomed to it. This approach can help minimize the risk of irritation.
