The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as the leader in science-backed skin care formulas. It ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results.

Want something that just works? Forget the faff and the fuss, the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA (30ml) offers a lightweight gel-like texture bursting with a brightening blend of ingredients.
Thanks to a concentrated cocktail of alpha arbutin and hyaluronic acid, this high-performing hero works to minimise signs of past, present and future pigmentation.

Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Big No
Really disappointing results as I was very excited to use it. I tried it in the night and the next day had very red cheeks with little bumps, which I had never experienced before. So big No for me.

Not so great
I was so excited to try this product, as I saw quite good reviews and I have a sensitive skin around my cheeks, and I saw in one of the website it says it’s good for sensitive skin.Although quite disappointed as I applied in the night and the next morning, my skin was bit itchy and around my cheeks was quite red and I had quite a few little bumps, which I never suffered from! So I guess it’s big No for me.

So Far So Good
I have been using this products for about 2 weeks, and although I am not sure about any pigmentation or scars fading or disappearing (yet), my skin texture has improved and have overall brightness which I am happy with. I use this along with 2 other Ordinary products and moisturizer on top, and the mixture is working well with my skin. I only use 2 drops each application, morning and evening- a little goes a long way, as the HA from this brand is quite sticky and a bit goopy. So far so good- Happy!

99% Better Skin!
I will continue to use this! I've just bought my third bottle. I now feel confident without wearing makeup majority of the time. But this isn't a miracle worker, i still expect the odd spots sometimes when I'm due my period. Wouldn't stop using now! Fast delivery too.

Didn't work for me
I've been using this consistently for almost 2 months and unfortunately, I've seen no difference in my skin.

Amazing!
I'm quite dark skinned - MAC NW55/Fenty 460 or 480. I got this to help fade acne scars and hyper-pigmentation I've had for years from teenage acne. Used this as instructed (AM and PM) and after less than a month, my scars are visibly faded, my skin tone is more even, and it has not lightened my skintone which is amazing. I love it! Will re-purchase and likely reduce to either AM or PM once I'm satisfied with the evenness of my skin.

Brilliant, brilliant and more brilliant
This product was my introduction to this brand and I got an extra bottle for my mum. Well what a result, her sun spots of years are fading and she is on her 2nd bottle. Love this!

Really something
My skin has felt brighter and better since I have been using this. I have to be careful in this harsh winter as exfoliating can leave my skin sensitive and it's only on those days that this has been too harsh for my skin.
