The verdict
The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution
500+ bought last month
GOOD PRICE.
This is an oil-based vitamin C serum that comes in a small bottle and works to brighten uneven skin tone and reduce signs of aging. It's designed for people with dry skin since it includes omega fatty acids to support hydration, and it uses a gentler form of vitamin C that converts to active vitamin C on your skin rather than being irritating right out of the bottle.
$20.50

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The vitamin C here is oil-soluble, which means it's less likely to irritate your skin compared to straight ascorbic acid, but it also means it won't work the same way as a traditional vitamin C serum.
- You need to use sunscreen during the day when using this product, since vitamin C can make your skin more sun-sensitive.
- This is an oil formula, so it won't work well if you have oily or acne-prone skin, and it may not layer smoothly under other products.
As of Aug 31, the The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution is a good price at $20.50 — versus a $19.21 typical price and a $14.80 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
