Why you need it

The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is a concentrated serum that diminishes the appearance of dark spots, pigmentation and uneven skin tone, making your complexion look more radiant and more youthful. Alpha Arbutin is a safe alternative to harsh chemicals used as skin lighteners because it does not kill or damage pigment-producing cells. Instead, it blocks the action of enzymes which trigger the production of the melanin pigment. It's also effective at lightening and diminishing acne scars. The formula contains Hyaluronic Acid to lock moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated, for smoother, more even-toned and textured skin.

how to use

Faq's

Q: What does this serum do?
A: This serum is a water-based serum that has been designed to target uneven skin tone and visibly improve skin pigmentation.

Q: How do I use this serum?
A: After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops to the face in the morning and at night before moisturizing. If using in the morning, ensure to follow up with sunscreen.

Q: What is alpha arbutin and how does it benefit the skin?
A: Alpha arbutin is a natural skin-lightening agent derived from plants. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Q: Can all skin types use Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA?
A: Yes, this serum is suitable for all skin types. However, those with sensitive skin should always do a patch test before full-face application.

Q: Can I combine this with other The Ordinary products?
A: Yes, Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA can be combined with most other products from The Ordinary. However, when layering multiple serums, it's recommended to start with water-based formulas like this one, followed by oil-based formulas and then creams.

Q: Is it necessary to use sunscreen with this product?
A: While alpha arbutin is not sensitizing to the sun in the same way some acids are, using a sunscreen can help prevent further hyperpigmentation, maximizing the benefits of the serum.

Q: Can I use this product alongside vitamin C?
A: Yes, alpha arbutin can be used in conjunction with vitamin C. In fact, both ingredients can work synergistically to enhance the brightening effects on the skin.

Q: What is the purpose of hyaluronic acid in this formulation?
A: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a powerful hydrator that can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. In this formulation, HA supports skin hydration, ensuring the serum not only targets hyperpigmentation but also keeps the skin plump and moisturized.

Q: Are there any side effects associated with this product?
A: Generally, Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is well-tolerated. However, some individuals might experience minor irritation or redness. It's always recommended to conduct a patch test before using any new skincare product.

Great every day product!

I have combination skin and I have been using this product for 3 months. You must be dedicated to be using this product on a regular basis.

I have hyerpigmentation on my cheeks but with this serum they have almost faded away completely. I use 2 drops in the AM and then I apply Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Borage Seed Oil and of course you apply the sun cream in the AM!  There is no scent so it is good for people who have sensitive skin.

I will be re-purchasing this product!

I have acne prone skin but it's also very dry. This is the solution. It reduced redness/ my rosacea and faded my acne scars. Left my skin feeling so soft and renewed. Would highly recommend. I saw results from my very first bottle and I am now repurchasing another.

Got this in the hopes of fading some post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. I've been using morning and evening for 3 months now and my skin tone is back to normal - completely erased the dark patch. Highly recommend, and such a good price
