Nice
I have been using it almost three weeks, day and night, and for some red marks I had from spots it worked very well after a few days of use. In general my skin looks brighter but unfortunately did not help a lot with sun spots in my forehead.

Worth it!
I have suffered severe acne for years which has luckily cleared up (due to medication) however I got left with marks,redness,uneven skin tones (due to trying absolutely every product out there and damaging my skin more). I purchased the Alpha Arbutin and noticed a difference within 2weeks,it has definitely made my acne scars fade, and made my overall skin seem clearer. I would recommend this affordable product!

Not suitable for my dry sensitive skin
I used to wear Alpha Arbutin serum before, and it works very well on my dry sensitive skin. However I just purchase this serum again but I notice my skin start coming out will tiny pimples and sadly my face breakout quite bad.

Perfect
I purchased a number of The Ordinary products and I'm so glad I did. My skin looks and feels so much better. Even friends via face time have made comment how good my skin looks. The products arrived swiftly too. Thoroughly recommend.

Good product
Good product but unfortunately my skin was too sensitive for it. Caused red and inflamed areas on jawline. Good price though.

Can’t see the hype
After reading the reviews I was so excited to try this product hoping that it will help with my hyperpigmentation and it has been almost a month of consistently using this product along with SPF and haven’t noticed any changes as of yet. I usually never break out from products but this also made me get the odd bumps here and there. Don’t know what to make of this product so will continue to use but don’t have any high hopes!

Gentle hyper-pigmentation eliminator.
After stopping my birth control pills, I broke out with cystic acne on my cheeks and jawline. So after my acne calmed down, I was left with acne scarring. And my skin is prone to dark spots, I started using this affordable serum after reading recommendations. I have only been using this for 2 weeks and I have seen results. Believe the hype.

DID NOTHING
I used this product every day until it ran out, hoping it would have some positive effect of my severe dark spots. Alas, it made no difference whatsoever, it didn't even slightly lighten them. However, it seems to have worked for some people and it's cheap enough to give it a go.
