“I live and die by this vitamin C serum. Not to be dramatic, it has transformed my skin. A few months ago, my skin was suffering despite all the fancy lotions and potions I was throwing at it (think dullness, stubborn dry patches, and strange little pimples along my jawline). Wanting to try something new, I decided to completely strip back my skincare routine — first to just a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF, and then to incorporating vitamin C. Enter: The Ordinary’s Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. After just a few weeks, my skin was totally transformed, becoming smooth and glowy. The texture evened, and old acne scars faded. This is one of my top desert island beauty products, for sure.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
