"This is one of the lowest selling vitamin C's, and I'm not surprised that they've moved on from this. [...] If this is one of your favorites and you're looking for an alternative, they are still keeping the high strength vitamin C in hyaluronic acid in their collection, so you could just switch that. It applies better, I think it feels better on the skin, and has a slightly lower concentration, so it's a little bit kinder to the skin too. I'm not surprised that this is going, and if The Ordinary said to me what one product would you discontinue, it probably would be this one because I think the risk of overdoing with this is far too high versus the benefits you're going to get."
