The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone is a concentrated, water-free silicone formula designed to help improve the appearance of dull skin, support radiance, reduce the look of hyperpigmentation and surface spots, and make skin tone appear more even and clear with regular use.
Its formula relies on 30% pure L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C within a smooth silicone base, which helps improve the application texture and reduce the gritty sensation compared to some direct Vitamin C formulations, while supporting skin suffering from dullness, acne marks, dark spots, or uneven tone.
This product is one of The Ordinary's potent formulations, so it is more suitable for skin accustomed to active ingredients than highly sensitive skin.

Max Beauty Usage Tips:
- It is recommended to introduce the product gradually into your routine, especially if your skin is not accustomed to pure Vitamin C.
- Start by using it two to three times a week in the evening, then increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it.
- Do not use a large amount; a high concentration of Vitamin C requires only a small amount to cover the face.
- If mild tingling occurs at the beginning of use, it may be normal with direct Vitamin C. However, if strong redness or persistent burning occurs, discontinue use.
- For dry or sensitive skin, a light moisturizer can be applied before or after the product to reduce tingling and support skin comfort.
- It is preferable not to use it in the same routine with strong exfoliants, retinoids, or direct acids at the beginning of use to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
- Daily sunscreen use is essential, as maintaining brightening and skin tone evening results largely depends on daily sun protection.
