The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin
The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin reduces the looks of spots and hyper-pigmentation. It’s used at a high 2% concentration versus a standard concentration of 1% and supported with a next-generation form of Hyaluronic Acid for enhanced delivery. Alpha Arbutin is much stronger in effect than Arbutin or Beta Arbutin.
The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is a water-based serum designed to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and post-acne marks. Priced around \(\$11.50\), it pairs a high-strength dose of pure alpha arbutin with hyaluronic acid to inhibit excess melanin production while keeping the skin hydrated.
Key Details & Benefits
- Target Concerns: Uneven skin tone, dark spots, age spots, and acne scars.
- Key Ingredients: 2% Alpha Arbutin (a stronger alternative to standard arbutin) and Hyaluronic Acid for better product delivery and skin absorption.
- Texture: Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and oil-free.
How to Use
- Placement in Routine: Apply a few drops to your face in the AM and PM after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils.
- Layering: It pairs perfectly with other active serums like Niacinamide or Vitamin C.
- Sun Care: Because arbutin treats pigmentation, you must use sun protection in the morning to prevent new dark spots from forming.
- Results: Consistency is key; noticeable fading of hyperpigmentation typically takes 4 to 12 weeks
Note: Alpha Arbutin is extremely sensitive to degradation in the presence of water if the pH of the formulation is not ideal. The pH of this formula has been shown to be the most suitable pH to minimize degradation of Alpha Arbutin.
Apply a few drops to face in the AM and PM as part of your skincare regimen. Avoid use around eyes. Use sun protection in the AM. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
