Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% – 30ml Brightening Serum

The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%: The Ultimate Glow Serum

Brighten. Even. Protect. The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% is a powerful, water-free solution designed to target visible aging and brighten skin tone. This 30ml serum combines two of the most potent brightening agents in skincare to effectively reduce the look of dark spots. Specifically, it utilizes 8% pure Vitamin C for antioxidant protection and 2% Alpha Arbutin to address hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, the anhydrous (water-free) formula ensures that the Vitamin C remains stable and effective. Consequently, your skin achieves a more uniform, radiant appearance with a healthy-looking glow.

Key Features of Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%

• Dual-Action Brightening: Combines Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin to double the effectiveness against dullness.

• Targeted Spot Correction: Specifically formulated to fade the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and post-acne marks.

• Powerful Antioxidant: The 8% Ascorbic Acid shields the skin from environmental pollutants and free radicals.

• Highly Stable Formula: A water-free solution that prevents the active ingredients from oxidizing or losing potency.

• Texture Refining: Helps to smooth the skin surface, leaving it feeling soft and looking revitalized.

The Science of Radiant Skin

Combining these two actives requires a stable environment to yield the best results. First, The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% uses Alpha Arbutin to inhibit melanin production at the source. Next, the Ascorbic Acid works on the surface to brighten existing discoloration. Additionally, because this formula is anhydrous, it may feel slightly “oily” for a few seconds until it fully absorbs. Therefore, it is the perfect treatment for those wanting to tackle “stubborn” pigmentation without using multiple separate products.

How to Apply for a Brighter Complexion

Follow these steps to integrate this serum into your daily skincare routine:

1. Preparation: Apply a few drops to your face in the morning and evening after cleansing.

2. Application: Gently massage into the skin, avoiding the delicate eye area.

3. Layering: Since this is an anhydrous solution, apply it after water-based serums but before heavy creams.

4. Protection: Always apply a high-protection sunscreen during the day, as Vitamin C can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
