Amazing in every way

NOT GIFTED- I paid full price for this item, and it's still an incredible value! I worked for 12 years for that company (you know the one) with the famous mega-expensive Vitamin C products, and this serum is soooo much better. Instead of irritating my face, it calms my redness. It absorbs quickly, plays well with other products, and doesn't leave me sticky. I really can't understand the reviews claiming it smells fishy; to me it has no unpleasant odor, but it certainly smells better than the above-mentioned famous one, which smells disgustingly of hot dogs. Antioxidant defense is so important and should be used every single day; this product makes it actually affordable and easy to do so.

Cannot handle the smell

I love most products from The Ordinary, but this one I'm having trouble with. I cannot get over the smell of the product. I'm allergic to strong scents and have a very sensitive nose. The serum smells chemically/fishing/sour even after layering with other products and makeup I can still smell it. I've used it for a couple of weeks and will be discontinuing it.
