We’ve all heard how great vitamin C is for your skin. It’s one of those “holy grail” skincare ingredients – rich in all the right antioxidants to simultaneously hydrate and brighten skin. Vitamin C is the answer to younger-looking skin because it protects against environmental stressors and stimulates your natural production of collagen, to leave the face looking smoother, brighter and more supple.

There are many ways you can integrate vitamin C into your routine. The most common methods are through a brightening serum or a rich moisturizer. A lot of people have also tried face masks, cleansers and body washes. But there is also another kind of vitamin C product that is slowly taking the beauty world by storm because of the potent concentration of nutrients it delivers to your skin: facial powders.

Why We Love The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder

Ascorbic acid, otherwise known as vitamin C, is the star ingredient in this new powder from The Ordinary. To use the powder, you just mix a small amount into the palm of your hand with whatever other serum or cream you’re already applying to your skin each morning or evening. The powder then delivers an effective antioxidant to your skin to brighten the tone and reduce signs of aging. Oh, and did we mention that this amazing treatment only costs $5.80?

Promising Reviews

“I cannot praise this product enough... and the fact that’s it’s only $5?!? This has completely changed my skin. I get so many compliments on how even and flawless my complexion looks. I mix half a scoop in with my morning serum every morning. I started noticing results 3 days later. Everyone, troubled skin or perfect skin, NEEDS this.” - JulianneGuercio

“I used it for my first time last night. Today my skin was very bright & even toned. I didn’t expect that kind of result so fast. Not gonna lie....it tingles a bit so maybe tonight I will just use a little less. It didn’t cause any dryness or redness or anything so that’s a plus.” - 1nky

“I am so impressed with this product! I’ve wanted to try a vitamin c for hyperpigmentation, but I heard that Ascorbic acid can be really irritating. However, this product didn’t cause any irritation for me! When I first spot tested it, I added a little too much and it tingled a bit but that was it. After using it for just one day, my skin was so much brighter and glowy. This jar will last me for a long time and I really recommend trying it because it’s so inexpensive.” - Cclairech
