ConsIt's oily and absorbs slowly... which is disappointing. I use it on my body instead.
TipBecause it's oily... due to absorption problems, I mix it with body emulsion and apply it to my body.

While other vitamin C products can be pricey, this one is affordable and has only two ingredients.
ConsThe scent might be polarizing. Also, the texture feels oily and doesn't absorb well, so you need to pat it into your skin quite a bit.

By the time I started using my second bottle, I noticed my old dark spots had faded.
ConsThe absorption rate is a bit slow, so it's best to take your time letting it sink in.

When I use this before bed and wake up in the morning, my skin feels calmed. I've even noticed a reduction in sebum production.
ConsIt really doesn't absorb well. It's even sticky, which makes me think it might be too heavy for summer use. I'm trying my best to use it up now.

People with thick, oily skin will understand. In winter, my skin doesn't get dry, but dead skin cells build up excessively, making the skin surface feel thicker. When used at such times, within two weeks, your skin becomes soft and supple. Peeling gels and pads were all ineffective, but with this and a compatible cleanser, my skin has improved significantly.
ConsHesitant to use during the day Although it's said to be suitable for daytime use, I'm a bit reluctant to do so. The formula is also quite rich, so it doesn't absorb quickly.
TipIt's even better if you use it alongside compatible functional serums like BHA or retinol, alternating days of application.

This product is definitely good for acne scars. After a month of use, I can visually see the scars and hyperpigmentation gradually fading. I've also been gently patting it around my eyes for dark circles, and I feel like my overall skin tone has brightened somewhat. It's a decent product for the price.
ConsThe absorption is extremely slow. Despite being water-free, it feels quite rich. For my oily skin, I can only apply it when my skin is in good condition to avoid blemishes. If I apply it when my skin isn't at its best or on active acne, it immediately causes pus formation.

However, this often leads to dryness and redness. This product, despite being oil-free, has an oily finish that prevents my skin from drying out, which I love. While the brightening effects vary, my overall complexion has significantly improved.
ConsThe absorption is incredibly slow. It's the slowest absorbing product I've ever used among all cosmetics I've tried.
TipIt works great when used with a chilled face roller. I roughly help it absorb with the face roller, then finish with a hydrating cream. It doesn't transfer to other areas and feels great.

There are many products with higher concentrations than 8% on the market, but since vitamins can be a bit harsh for daily use at higher percentages, I find this strength to be just right for stability. Brightening effects aren't immediate and require consistency, so my freckles and dark spots are still there, but I've been getting a lot of compliments on my complexion looking brighter. I recommend applying it at night rather than during the day. Since it absorbs slowly, use just a drop or two. You might feel a slight warming sensation at first.
ConsBeing a vitamin product, it has a 6-month shelf life after opening and is sensitive to light and heat. I keep mine in the fridge. Apart from the slow absorption, there's not much else I find disappointing about it.
TipI alternate my routine: niacinamide in the morning, then ascorbic acid for 3 nights, followed by retinal for 2 nights. I've heard it's beneficial to use a balanced mix of vitamins A, B, and C for your skin.

I've always wanted to try The Ordinary, but I was scared to use it on my blemish-prone skin. Since it has whitening ingredients, an affordable price, and only needs minimal care if I'm wearing clothes (despite being sun-sensitive), I decided to give it a shot. I bought it thinking I'd use it instead of ointment. I can't show before pictures, but I highly recommend it! The scars are still there, but they've faded by about half. I didn't expect such great results - I'm really happy! I've been too scared to use it on my face yet, but now I'm considering trying it there too.
ConsThe smell isn't great, and it might have caused some discoloration on my clothes due to oxidation. It also absorbs slowly. However, I keep using it because of its effectiveness. Personally, I'm seeing such good results that I'm willing to overlerate these drawbacks and continue using it for a while longer.
TipI wear old clothes I don't mind ruining, apply it after showering at night, and wash it off again in the morning!
