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.

It’s okay
I don’t really notice a huge difference but I also have been using it consistently! It feels quite oily and heavy so best to use it at night

Best for pigmentation on brown skin
works wonder when used consistently, even though I was unable to use it consistently i noticed visible difference in my persistent hyperpigmentation. had i used it consistently would have definitely gotten rid of all my hyperpigmentation. (Tip use at night avoid using in the day or use with spf in the day).

The ordinary
I’ve used the ordinary’s alpha arbutin 2% + HA Concentrated Serum 30ml before and decided to try this one. I hope it eventually fades my dark spots.

Skincare staple
I have been using this for 6 months now and I’m onto my third bottle it’s so hydrating and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy. I have quite bad hyperpigmentation and I have noticed it hasn’t become any worse over these summer months

Still testing
It has improved my skin texture and made my skin glow, but I have pigmentations and still not much of an improvement. Been using it for about a month.
