The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA (30ml)

Description

The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is a skincare product that is primarily designed to target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Benefits

• Hyperpigmentation Reduction: It can help to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots, sunspots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
• Brightening Effect: Alpha arbutin promotes a brighter and more radiant complexion by reducing the appearance of skin discoloration.
• Hydration: The hyaluronic acid in the product helps to hydrate the skin, leaving it smoother and more supple.
• Minimized Uneven Skin Tone: It can help in minimizing the look of redness and uneven skin tone.
• Non-Irritating: Alpha arbutin is generally considered a gentler alternative to other skin-lightening agents like hydroquinone, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin.

How to use

• Cleanse Your Face: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
• Toning (Optional): If you use a toner as part of your skincare routine, apply it before the Alpha Arbutin.
• The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin Application: Dispense a few drops of Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA onto your fingertips. Apply it to the areas of your face where you have concerns about hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone. You can use it on the entire face or just on specific spots.
• Gently Pat In: Spread the serum across your skin and then gently pat it in. Avoid rubbing or pulling on your skin.
• Wait: Allow the product to fully absorb into your skin. This usually takes a minute or two.
• Additional Serums (If Desired): If you use other serums, you can apply them after Alpha Arbutin. Ensure you layer them from thinnest to thickest in terms of consistency.
• Moisturizer: Apply your regular moisturizer to lock in the serum and provide added hydration.
• Sunscreen (Morning Routine): If you’re using Alpha Arbutin in your morning routine, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UV damage. This is crucial, as products targeting hyperpigmentation can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
• Consistency: For the best results, use Alpha Arbutin consistently. Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone may take time to visibly improve, so be patient. It’s typically recommended for use both in the morning and evening.
• Avoid Mixing with Vitamin C: Avoid using Alpha Arbutin in the same routine with products that contain vitamin C (ascorbic acid), as they can potentially cancel each other out. You can use them at different times of the day or on alternate days.
