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

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is a high-strength, water-free pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) treatment that helps brighten dull skin, fade the look of dark spots and support firmer-looking skin. Hyaluronic acid spheres add hydration. It is gritty and tingles on application; that is the pure vitamin C, not a fault.

Key benefits

• 23% L-ascorbic acid, the most-studied form of vitamin C, for visible brightening
• Helps fade the look of dark spots, sun damage and post-blemish marks
• Antioxidant support against the visible effects of UV and pollution
• Supports firmer-looking skin over time
• Water-free formula stays stable longer than watery vitamin C serums

Who it's for

Dull, uneven, sun-damaged or pigmented skin that already tolerates actives. Not for sensitive or reactive skin — choose Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% or Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin instead.

Key ingredients

L-Ascorbic Acid 23%, Dehydrated Spheres of Hyaluronic Acid 2%, Squalane.

How to use

Morning or evening, a pea-sized amount pressed over the face after water-based serums, before moisturiser. Expect a strong tingle for the first weeks; reduce to every other day if needed. Do not use with niacinamide, peptides or EUK 134 in the same routine, and never with retinol or acids on the same night. SPF every morning. Patch test before first use.

Frequently asked questions

Why is it gritty?
The vitamin C is suspended, not dissolved. Warm it between fingertips and press in rather than rubbing.

23% + HA Spheres vs 30% in Silicone — which one?
Both are high-strength pure vitamin C. This one is more hydrating; the 30% in Silicone is smoother and less gritty but can pill under other products.

Can I use it every day?
Yes once your skin adjusts, but every other day is fine and gives similar long-term results.
