The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin2%

The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% is a brightening serum designed to target uneven skin tone, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Combining the potent antioxidant power of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with the skin-brightening properties of alpha arbutin, this serum helps to promote a radiant, even complexion.

Key Features & Benefits

✔ 8% Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to brighten the skin, protect it from free radical damage, and promote collagen production. It helps to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, while giving the skin a healthy, radiant glow.
✔ 2% Alpha Arbutin – Alpha arbutin is a skin-brightening agent that works to reduce the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. It inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, leading to a more even skin tone.
✔ Targeted Treatment for Dark Spots – Ideal for those looking to address uneven pigmentation, sun spots, acne scars, and age spots.
✔ Hydrating & Non-Greasy Formula – The serum is lightweight and hydrating, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, and combination skin.
✔ Free from Harsh Additives – Formulated without parabens, sulfates, or alcohol, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Texture & Suitability

• Water-based serum with a slightly thin consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue.
• Suitable for all skin types, especially uneven, hyperpigmented, or dull skin.
• If you have sensitive skin, you may want to patch-test first as ascorbic acid can sometimes cause irritation.

How to Use

1. Apply a few drops of the serum onto clean, dry skin in the morning or evening.
2. Gently massage into the face, focusing on areas with uneven tone, dark spots, or hyperpigmentation.
3. Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
4. Always apply sunscreen during the day, as vitamin C can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
5. If irritation occurs, use less frequently (2-3 times a week) until the skin builds tolerance.
