Resveratrol 3% + Ácido ferúlico 3% - Fórmula antioxidante

Bad Smell

I was so excited to try this product. I have it and it smells bad. Is it supposed to smell like that?

Adverse reaction

I wasn’t sure for a while what was causing my breakouts . The first time I began using it, I was also using other Ordinary products and Timeless skin care vitamin C so could not identify the cause of my skin breakouts and dermatitis. I quit using everything except my cleanser and my sunscreen, and had to take a steroid cream to alleviate the red burning patches. So I tried to use it again recently and within hours my skin was hot and red and I washed my face to remove the resveratrol and ferulic acid serum. Still red, but not as hot as it was

Product works instantly

This product makes my 61 year old skin look instantly smooth with less wrinkles and it lasts all day. I love it. The only reason I have not given it 5 stars is because it's not in the clean category.

Caused dermatitis

One or two drops after mild probiotic toner caused burning. Next day I had two red, flaking patches in each side of my face. Stopped using. Took 2 weeks to heal. Have not tried again. I'm sure it is the ferrulic acid. I've used other resveratrol products in the past with no irritation. My vitamin C product contains ferrulic acid and I can use it without irritation so kind of a mystery. Somehow I ended up with 2 bottles of this product and I can't use it. Maybe I can repurpose it somehow, but that seems kind of pointless.

Hot dog water

I have no clue if this works because the stench of it revolts me. How are there so many positive reviews without any mention of the fact that your face ends up smelling like a hot dog?

Definitely a staple for me

I’ve been using this for 6 months now, at first I didn’t know if there was a difference but I didn’t use it for a couple weeks and started having more acne (I’m 6 months in with tretinoin, never really had acne before tret) and realized I hadn’t been using this enough. Within a couple days of adding back in my skin tone has evened out and my acne is significantly calmer, too. It also seemed to help my skin after a mild sunburn, not positive though. I highly recommend though. I also use this to make my vit c serum using about a half scoop of the vitamin c powder, about 5-6 drops of marine hyluronics, and 2 drops of the resveratrol/ferulic acid and it works well.

AMAZING...but ONLY if your skin barrier is healthy

I used this product morning and night (1-2 drops) consistently for ~2 years with amazing results. Noticeably brightened my skin with the added bonus of a low price point and one bottle lasting for ages. However, after having a baby, my skin became more sensitive, and this product couldn't do its job under those conditions. It took me a good 6 months to realize that I should change my skincare routine, and at that point, I saw that my skin was less irritated when I didn't use this product (the primary culprit, however, was over-exfoliation). I tried to re-introduce this product around a year after changing my skincare routine, but it didn't seem to have much effect. However, when I recently re-introduced it again (I now have melasma and it's driving me nuts!), I noticed that my skin was responding positively right away. So bottom line: this product is absolutely AMAZING, BUT your skin barrier must be healthy enough to benefit. If this product doesn't work for you, or you suddenly can't tolerate it after a long period of use, consider a gentler skincare regimen and then try re-introducing it later; it's definitely worth trying because my skin hasn't been as bright without this product. I am SO happy that I can use it again!

Bad Skin Reaction from Expired Product

I am not sure if it's because the product expired or because of repeated exposure to the chemical but one morning I woke up with one of my eyes completely swollen shut and the skin red (the eye itself was totally fine). I didn't realize at first that it was the product but it happened a second time when it affected both eyes / eye regions; the skin on both my eye lids and on my cheek bones felt chemically burnt, were red and swollen. The swelling went away by the end of the day but the scab from the burn and swollen skin took days to heal and come off. I think this might have happened because of the product expiring - I ordered it a year ago and didn't realize since it lasted quite long and was stored in the fridge. I am tempted but too scared to try with a new bottle - overall I can't say I saw any significant improvment to my skin when I did use it anyway.

Amazing!

I have been using the product for about 3 weeks now, my skin is very soft, glowing and it has definitely helped with dark spots

Caused breakouts

Unfortunately, I tried this a year or so ago and it caused me to breakout in small pustules every time I used it. I had to discontinue :(

Love this alt to Vit C and lactic for me!

Absolutely love this product - it makes me look younger, brighter, smoother every time I use it (I guess those are just temporary effects, but I hope the anti-oxidants give long term effects too!). For me it's a good daily alternative to say, lactic acid and vitamin C. I use it instead of vit C because I don't like the smell of that. Just the right strength for me, not too strong that it causes sensitivity or burning.

The smell!!!

I haven’t used this serum regularly, so I can’t say anything about its effects. My only question is, if it’s supposed to smell? I know Ordinary products tend to smell, but this really smells disgusting. So I just wanted to ask if that’s normal, because no other comment mentioned it…
