My Experience:
I recently stumbled upon the 100% L – Ascorbic Acid Powder from The Ordinary and was immediately intrigued by the glowing reviews I read online. As someone who is constantly on the hunt for effective acne care products, I knew I had to give this powder a try. This was my first purchase from The Ordinary, and I was impressed by the packaging – the powder comes in a small glass jar, complete with a measuring spoon to ensure you use the right amount of product with each application.
I would advise starting with the smallest amount of powder and gradually working your way up, as the concentration of vitamin C can be quite strong. I was able to snag the powder at a discounted price online, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity I received. This jar will last me well into the winter season, making it a great value for an international brand.
As for the results, I have to say that I am impressed. My acne marks have definitely lightened, and I have noticed a subtle glow to my skin. However, I did experience some breakouts when I first started using the powder, particularly during the summer months in a tropical climate. I am not entirely sure why this happened, but I am hopeful that my experience will be different during the winter months.
Another way to incorporate this powder in your skincare routine is by mixing it with your moisturizer or sunscreen. I suggest doing this at night with a light moisturizer, as the combination of vitamin C and other chemicals in sunscreen can be quite harsh on the skin.
Overall, I am impressed with the 100% L – Ascorbic Acid Powder from The Ordinary, and I will be continuing to use it as a part of my skincare routine. The benefits of vitamin C for healing acne scars are well-documented, and I am excited to see the continued results.
How to use The Ordinary’s 100% L – Ascorbic Acid Powder
A measuring spoon is provided to get the amount that you require. I recommend using it with a water based or very light cream as to avoid any breakout post use. Do a patch test first, like in all chemical formulations and use in little amount as stated.
