The Ordinary

I was actually really impressed by this toner – the skin feels instantly smoother and gets a nice glow after just a few uses. It’s quite strong, so you really feel it working, which I like when the skin feels dull or uneven. I find that it helps with small pimples and evens out the skin tone over time. However, it can sting a bit and feel drying if you use it too often. Despite that, I think it’s incredibly good value and a real gamechanger if you want to improve your skin’s texture!

I mix a small scoop of powder with my face cream (it's concentrated!) and use it in the evenings a couple of times a week, waking up with much happier, radiant, and hydrated skin. The product works really well on my small, stubborn pimples, and I feel that my skin is deeply hydrated in the morning after. It stings like crazy when I have pimples or small wounds, but I know vitamin C is antibacterial, so I think that's actually good! The stinging goes away after a while, but the skin stays sticky for a long time. When I wash my face in the morning, the powder reactivates a bit, so it can sting again (especially if it gets in the eyes), but it’s easy to rinse off thoroughly with water. Overall very satisfied!

my favorite serum!! Always buy this serum, it really helps my skin and gets rid of bumps on my forehead, never had problems with my skin but started getting a lot of pimples on my forehead and then bought this again after not using it for a few months and trying a new serum, as soon as I started using it again everything disappeared.
