The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone
A Water-Free, Stable Suspension of 30% Pure L-Ascorbic Acid in Light Silicones

Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces the appearance of signs of aging. This water-free formula provides 30% pure L-Ascorbic Acid which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. Due to the presence of very light silicones, this formulation feels smooth on the skin despite the suspension format of the formulation, avoiding the short-lived gritty feeling of our original Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula. This treatment is ideally applied at bedtime.

The Ordinary’s Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone is a water-free formula that provides 30% pure L-Ascorbic Acid which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. Due to the presence of very light silicones, this formulation feels smooth on the skin. Alternative products on the market offer suspensions of vitamin C in water-free formulations in heavier silicone bases. These formulations do keep the vitamin C stable but they are almost always offered in heavier silicone bases that interfere with efficient exposure of the entire vitamin C content to the skin (the silicone entraps the vitamin C). This formula avoids the use of heavy silicones to offer better exposure to the vitamin C content. The additional vitamin C content (30%) in this silicone base helps offset the slight impairment to dermal exposure.
