The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, Vitamin C Serum for Even Skin Tone and Antioxidant Protection, 1 Fl Oz

I’ve been really happy with the The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. Like all of The Ordinary’s products, this one did not disappoint. It absorbs easily, has no strange or unpleasant smell, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. I experienced no irritation at all, which is a big plus for a vitamin C serum. With consistent use, I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin tone — my complexion looks brighter and more even overall. A simple, effective, and affordable vitamin C option. Highly recommend!

After consistent use for several weeks, my skin appeared brighter, smoother, and more radiant with noticeable reduction in dark spots and uneven tone. Key Benefits Gentle Vitamin C derivative (ascorbyl glucoside) for antioxidant defense Helps fade hyperpigmentation and brighten dull skin Lightweight, water-based, non-greasy texture Suitable for sensitive skin and layering with other products Pros: Effective brightening without irritation Affordable and simple formula with minimal ingredients Easily absorbed and doesn’t interfere with makeup Can be combined with other actives like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid Considerations: Results take several weeks to show, so patience is key Must be paired with daily sunscreen to protect skin and boost benefits Some users may prefer higher Vitamin C concentrations for faster effects Final Thoughts The Ordinary’s Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% is a great entry-level Vitamin C serum that balances effectiveness with gentleness. It’s perfect for those wanting to brighten and even skin tone without irritation or complicated routines. Highly recommended for sensitive skin and Vitamin C beginners.

I’ve been using this serum mainly under my eyes for about three weeks, focusing on mild dark circles and that slightly tired look. I didn’t expect dramatic changes, but I’ve noticed a subtle brightening and my under-eye area looks a bit more even and less dull, especially in the mornings. The texture is slightly oily but lightweight, and it spreads easily with just a tiny drop. I usually apply it directly from the dropper to avoid wasting product. It feels smooth going on and absorbs within a minute or two without stinging, which is important since my skin can be sensitive around the eyes. For the price, it feels like a solid, low-risk option if stronger vitamin C formulas irritate you. It’s not a quick fix, and the oiliness might not suit everyone, but with consistent use it gives a gentle improvement. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a mild, steady boost rather than instant results.

Amazing Vitamin C Serum! I’ve been using The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% for about a month now, and I’m seriously impressed! This serum has become a staple in my skincare routine. My skin feels smoother, looks more even, and has that healthy glow I’ve been searching for. What I love most about this product is that it provides antioxidant protection without being harsh or irritating, which I’ve struggled with when trying other Vitamin C serums. It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, so I can apply it easily in the morning and go about my day without worrying about a greasy feeling. I’ve also noticed a reduction in some hyperpigmentation and small dark spots I’ve had for years. The formula feels really gentle, yet effective, and it’s been great for keeping my skin tone even and bright. Plus, it’s incredibly affordable compared to other high-end Vitamin C serums on the market. The 1oz bottle lasts longer than I expected, so it’s great value for money. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to boost their skin’s radiance and fight dullness or uneven tone!

Skin feels better after using it just a couple of times! I only gave 4 stars right now because I want to see how my skin is feeling and looking after using it for a few weeks. I am also using it at the same time as other The Ordinary products I also purchased with this order. So I can't say that this is the magic one, but it is part of a regimen that just makes my skin feel smoother and softer. My makeup goes on smoother too. Regardless, it's a good product! I will be reordering this item and the rest of the products I ordered.

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this product absolutely deserves recognition. From the moment I received it, the quality and attention to detail were immediately apparent. Every aspect—from the design and functionality to the overall performance—reflects a level of craftsmanship that goes well above and beyond what you typically find. What impressed me most is how thoughtfully everything seems to be put together. It not only performs exactly as advertised, but it does so with a level of reliability and ease that makes using it genuinely enjoyable. It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating something that isn’t just good, but truly exceptional. Products that deliver on their promises are great, but products that surpass them are rare. This is one of those rare finds. I would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for something dependable, high-quality, and built to impress.

I love this product! I have sensitive skin, so I love that it is fragrance free, i have used it everyday and night and havent gotten irritation once! My skin looks brighter and more hydrated!

I ran out of my favorite vitamin C serum and was not able to order it anymore so I switched to The Ordinary, which is just of great of quality for more affordable cost! Will be ordering more!

AMAZING

All is good. But delivery takes a lot time.

anche se a volte sembra sapone sulla pelle.... uso ogni mattina. consiglio! x x x x xx x x x

Es una marca que me gusta mucho!! Este en particular creo que son de las mejores vitaminas C del mercado

So far so good! Although a little too early to show a real impact, it still smoothes skin and moisturizer glides on nicely. My skin is sensitive, but I didn’t have any issues since. I'm using it in the morning only prior to my moisturizer, as I'm using retinol and glycolic acid alternately at night.
