## Description

desertcart.com: The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder, Vitamin C Treatment for Anti-Aging, 0.7 Ounce : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Impressive Bang for Your Buck - I have dry, mature skin, rosacea, enlarged pores and minor skin thickening. Once I added this version of vit C, it has really refined the texture of my skin. It's much brighter and less red, and it only took a few weeks to see a noticeable difference. I didnt notice any tightness or increased dryness. Unlike serums, I know exactly how much vit C Im getting (I weigh it), I know it hasn't lost its effectiveness bc Im mixing it right before I use it, and the value is far greater because Im getting so much. I know I cant find a serum that's this effective and packaged probably for less than 10 bucks. I use it with TO's resveratrol and ferulic acid, but Ill add a drop a water since the vit C powder is water soluble (the serum is water free). I do three days on, two days off, and I use it at night because it can make my skin a little cranky, but nothing too crazy. I also dont wear it under makeup because it affects the application and how it lays on my skin. I would strongly recommend working your way up slowly because it can irritate your skin if you use too much too often. For me, the tingling stopped after a few uses. If you can get passed that, I think you'll be very happy.
Review: Stellar! but be careful - This product is intended for the face and not the body. Do not put this near your eyes!!! If this gets near your eyes, you might have to call poision control or something. I just know it will hurt super bad. A lot of people don't know how to use vitamin-C, so I wanted to leave some helpful information as when used improperly, it can make aging worse and leave your skin much more vulnerable than without this. If you are using this to look younger, and you don't wear sunscreen routinely, this can make you look older (if you go out in the sun). If you stay in all day and don't stand near windows, you're fine. Vitamin C makes your skin more vulnerable to UV rays. Please never put this on and spend all day in 90 degree weather. You might "look" ok (if you don't tend to burn) but this is so bad. It's a chemical product for a reason. It works wonders on your face when you use it right. How I use it: I do my hyaluronic acid toner, then this power with The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3 mixed together (so I do 1 scoop of the powder with 4 drops of the resveratrol) after I heard about what a powerful duo this is. Please read this for more info: [Which serum would be the best to mix with L-Ascorbic Acid Powder? You may wish to explore The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%. This formula combines very high concentrations of two of the most powerful and important antioxidants in skincare. Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid helps support the skin’s defense against oxidative stress caused by environmental factors that play a major role in the loss of visible skin quality over time. The benefits of topically applied resveratrol and ferulic acid are continuing and cumulative.] Anyways, I saw people saying they mix this with their moisturizer, but please make sure you don't have any strong chemicals in your lotion or heavy fragrances as this combination can make your skin irritated. I wouldn't mix this with a lotion at all. Why? This Vitamin C is so powerful but you're diluting it when you mix it with lotion. The lotion is super heavy which won't allow this to penetrate into your skin. With skincare, you need to work your way up from in consistency and heaviness. Use this earlier on in your routine, not as the last step. Lotion should be the final seal on your skin (if you use multiple skincare products). Vitamin C is a great product but you have to be serious when you use it or you will pay for it later or with a burn. If your skin is irritated, that doesn't mean it's burned. It's great to start using a small amount to see how your skin reacts. Give it time and your skin will thank you for this. It really does brighten my skin and I am always glowing but I've been using it for over 5 years. I tend to not use it as often during the summer because sometimes I forget to wear sunscreen.

A: Dear 
Thank you for your questions 
We are happy to help 
And share our information 
“ Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Humans, unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component “

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good-quality ascorbic acid powder
*by T***Y on February 6, 2026*

This powder is great for my skin care. My skin type is oily and my skin condition is acne-prone. My skin has a lot of post acne hyperpigmentation marks. I mix this powder with my moisturizer with only 1/4 of the provided spoon. It works great on my skin and fades marks significantly. Unlike other reviews mentioned yellowing of the powder and broken seals, my jar is great and sealed properly. The size is good for lots of months. The texture is great and mix well into moisturizer as well as my home-made facial masks. Great purchase overall!
