EUK 134 0.1%
Packaging: It has simple design with ingredients on the box. The dark dropper style bottle is easy to use.
Ingredients:
Propanediol, Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol Manganese Chloride
Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone free, fungal-acne safe (malassezia).
Water degrades most potent antioxidants. This formula contains 0% water, 0% silicones, 0% oils and 0% alcohol for maximum potency and stability.
The Ordinary uses twice the amount of 0.05% which is the usual concentration in skincare so this bottle has double the effectiveness of antioxidant. Also EUK-134™'s is actually very expensive so getting this ingredient in The Ordinary is a good deal.
Caution**: EUK 134 cannot be used with the direct acids, pure Vitamin C, Ethylated Ascorbic Acid, Copper Peptides or Resveratrol
Texture&scent: Brown oil liquid since The Ordinary use waterless formulation. It doesn't have any scent at all even when I placed it as closed as my nose. As for the texture, it is waterless oil liquid that takes time to absorb. I do have to keep patting it until it absorbs and use a water toner and moisturiser. If I just put it on, it will just sit on top of the skin.
Review: I stop using my vitamin C for a month. I use it twice a day. Using it in the morning to protect my skin and using it at night for repairing my skin. I use about half the dropper each time. It gave me this warm feeling that lasted a few seconds each time I applied it on my skin. It is not tingling or painful feeling.
No irritation my skin or cause me breakouts. In fact, it helps to speed up healing time and reduce the inflammation I have on my face because of acne. It also reduces redness on my skin and my skin soft, more bouncy and youthful. The effect is gradual and it reduces damages on days I pick on my pimples. It does reduce and lighten the lines on my face. I tried not using for a week and sure enough, lines and redness start to make the appearance.
The not so good thing about this is probably just the not so elegant texture which I can compensate by using other watery texture products with it.
Overall: I think The Ordinary EUK 134 0.1% is a great choice as antioxidant choice for dull, sensitive, acne prone skin. Since you do not need to put inside the fridge, it is more usage friendly. Also I find it easier to use something like this EUK 134 0.1% that doesn't require me to remember which day I have used the product or else damage barrier skin that needs months to heal afterwards.

Hard to absorb so don't use too much
