The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone

Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone is a smooth cream-like formula that uses direct Vitamin C to help visibly reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone. This water-free formula provides 30% direct L-Ascorbic Acid which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. What’s more, this water-free formula contains extra-light silicones, which lessen the tingling sensation that can be associated with topical vitamin C treatments.

L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C at 30%): This is the star ingredient of the product. L-Ascorbic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that works to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of signs of aging, and protect the skin from environmental stressors like free radicals. Being in its pure form, it is highly potent but can also be a bit gritty in texture.

Squalane: Derived from olives, squalane is a lightweight, hydrating oil that closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum. It moisturizes the skin and makes the product feel more comfortable upon application.

Dimethicone: This is a type of silicone that serves as the base of this formula. Dimethicone provides a smooth, silky texture, making the product easier to spread. It also helps protect the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss, and leaves a soft-focus, matte finish on the skin.

Apply a small amount to face in the AM or the PM (PM preferred). A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If this sensation is too strong, this formula can be diluted on each application with your favourite serum or cream.
