Q: What is The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%?
A: This product is a water-free, silicone-free formula that provides 23% pure L-Ascorbic Acid (a form of Vitamin C) combined with 2% Hyaluronic Acid Spheres. It's designed to brighten the skin, reduce signs of aging, and offer antioxidant protection.

Q: How do I apply this Vitamin C Suspension?
A: After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to your face at night. Due to its potent formula, it's recommended to use it in your night-time routine, but if you use it in the morning, ensure you apply sunscreen afterwards.

Q: Can I feel a tingling sensation after application?
A: Yes, a tingling (and sometimes stinging) sensation upon application is common, especially if you're new to Vitamin C or have sensitive skin. This sensation should subside as your skin gets used to the product.

Q: Why does the product have a gritty texture?
A: The gritty texture you might feel is due to the high percentage of L-Ascorbic Acid powder in the formula. This texture can be minimized by applying another cream or serum after the Vitamin C suspension.

Q: Can I use it with other The Ordinary products?
A: Yes, but it's recommended to avoid using it at the same time as products containing Niacinamide or EUK 134 to maximize efficacy.

Q: Why combine Vitamin C with Hyaluronic Acid Spheres?
A: While Vitamin C targets signs of aging and provides antioxidant protection, Hyaluronic Acid offers hydration by drawing in moisture. This combination helps improve skin texture and maintain its hydration.

Q: Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Due to its high concentration, it might be too potent for those with very sensitive skin. If you're concerned, consider starting with a lower concentration of Vitamin C or doing a patch test before applying it to the entire face.

Q: How often should I use the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%?
A: It's generally advised to start using it every other night to see how your skin reacts. If your skin tolerates it well, you can increase its usage to every night.

Q: Should I apply sunscreen when using this product?
A: Yes, Vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always wear a broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using this product, even if you apply it only at night.
