Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performing products at surprisingly affordable prices. This potent formula combines two of the most powerful brightening agents in skin care: pure vitamin C and alpha arbutin, both solubilised in a completely water-free formula for perfect stability. Brightening skin tone and reducing signs of ageing, this formula is particularly adept at reducing the look of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
Perfect for brightening skin and minimising the appearance of uneven skin tone, The Ordinary’s Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% is optimised for ideal stability. Notoriously difficult to keep stable, vitamin C and alpha arbutin do not perform at their best when combined with water – hence, this formula is completely water-free. It may feel slightly ‘oily’ for a few seconds after application, despite the fact that it is completely free from oil. Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reducing signs of ageing, while alpha arbutin is a highly purified biosynthetic active ingredient that reduces the look of dark spots and uneven skin tone. The Ordinary offers a host of vitamin C-based products to brighten skin – opt for this one if you’re looking for a ‘moderate’ option and a ‘light oil’ texture.
Propanediol, Ascorbic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin

Must Try
Best product for bright glowing skin! Literally gives overnight results. Minimises pores too. Use only 3 drops all over the face. It's slightly oily and sticky but I use it at night and the days I'm at home in the mornings. I would recommend it to everyone with hyperpigmentation, age spots, and acne marks. You are sure to love it!

The Ordinary - Marine Hyaluronics
Love this product so much. I have used the hyaluronic acid before but I prefer the Marine one more as its light and more absorbing. Love it under my make up.

Visible Results
Now it's been 14 days that I am using this product and I can see that my skin is getting better and pigmentation is reducing. I am happy with the results and will surely buy more products from The Ordinary.

Good product
I didn’t notice any dramatic results but hyperpigmentation takes a while to disappear. My only problem with The Ordinary is they have so many products so I tend to keep trying new ones and I've only used this for a month. I didn’t break out nor did this irritate my skin and sits nicely under makeup. I might try this again in the future but I’m currently trying out another vit C serum from The Ordinary.

Cleared up my skin
This serum cleared up post-acne and other pigmentation problems, brightened skin tone. It's a bit oily, but my dry skin just love it. Great product!

Vitamin C Serum
Definitely worth the price - if you’re patient and encorporate the serum into a good, consistent skin care routine, the results are great!
