The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% Serum

Key Benefits:

• Boosts Skin Radiance: A powerful blend of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) and Alpha Arbutin helps restore the skin’s natural glow.

• Reduces Dark Spots & Pigmentation: Visibly fades dark spots, melasma, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.

• Fights Signs of Aging: Ascorbic Acid supports collagen production, helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles while protecting against environmental damage.

• Evens Skin Tone: Controls pigmentation issues to promote a more balanced, healthy-looking complexion.

• Fast Absorption & Gentle Formula: Lightweight, oil-free texture that absorbs quickly. Suitable even for sensitive skin (patch test recommended for first-time use).

Powerful & Effective Ingredients:

• Ascorbic Acid 8% (Vitamin C): A pure and stable form of Vitamin C that brightens the skin, provides antioxidant protection, boosts collagen synthesis, and reduces signs of aging.

• Alpha Arbutin 2%: A natural and highly effective brightening agent that targets excess melanin production, helping to visibly fade spots and discoloration while evening out skin tone.

• Propanediol: Enhances serum absorption and provides a mild moisturizing effect, keeping skin calm and comfortable.

How to Use (Simple Steps):

1. Apply after thoroughly cleansing your face in the morning or evening.

2. Take 2–3 drops of serum into your palm and gently massage over your face and neck.

3. Wait a minute for the serum to fully absorb.

4. Follow with your regular moisturizer.

5. If using in the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ or higher afterward. Sun exposure can worsen pigmentation.

Precautions & Tips:

• Sunscreen is a must: On days you use this serum, always apply high-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen—especially in your morning routine. Reapply when exposed to sunlight.

• Be cautious with combinations: Do not use this serum in the same routine as Niacinamide, direct acids (AHA/BHA like Glycolic, Lactic, or Salicylic acid), or EUK 134. Use them in separate routines (e.g., Vitamin C in the morning, Niacinamide at night).

• Sensitive Skin Alert: For first-time use, do a patch test by applying a small amount behind the ear or near the jawline and wait 24 hours.

• Mild Tingling is Normal: A slight tingling sensation is common, but if you experience burning, itching, or redness, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
