Ah! I can't believe a week has already gone by. My prayer for us all is that we get to cherish every moment of our lives. Hello beautiful people, I am sure it's already obvious to you that I love Vitamin C- containing products.
The two other The Ordinary products we have with Vitamin C as their main ingredient are: the Ascorbic acid+alpha arbutin and Ascorbyl glucoside formulations.

Ascorbic acid 8% and Alpha arbutin 2%
This is a purified form of Vitamin C and acts as an antioxidant. As such, it has anti-aging properties. In order to retain the potency of vitamin C, the formula does not contain any water.On the other hand, alpha arbutin diminishes dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production.
The resultant effect of this product on the skin is a brightened look and a more even complexion.
On application, it feels a bit sticky and oily, even though it does not contain oil. It feels warm on use and dries up immediately.
You can use it in the morning or evening, but sunscreen use is required in the morning.
If you have an oily/ acne-prone skin, I would not recommend using it regularly and in a large amount, as it may lead to
Although I love my skin's complexion, I have noticed a few hard cysts on my skin after I used this product, probably because I have oily skin.

Ascorbyl Glucoside 12%
This is another derivative of Vitamin C, but the concentration is quite low as it contains water. Also, because it contains water, the potency is not so high compared to the one above.This will be great for people with oily and acne-prone skin. Furthermore, it will most likely be tolerated by sensitive skin.
