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.

Be patient
I have had to wait to see its effect, but over time I have seen how the spots on my skin are fading.

Sure works
It sure does work. The thing is, the product itself is very oily while also makes the skin full of an unexpected kind of rash and don’t even have sensitive skin! Does give you a glow and also has brightening and evening skin tone properties but it’s not even half as good as the c firma from drunk elephant! ( which is of course too expensive but makes your skin glowing like you’ve had a facial! )

Nice
So far I really like the product. It feels soft and nourishing because it's a bit oily. No irritation and skin is improved. I don't see a big difference in the pigmentatio but maybe I need to use it a bit longer

Too oily for my skin
The formula is too oily for my skin, it doesn't absorb and even after an hour it still feels sticky. I had high hopes, but this formula is not working for me.

VITAMIN c power bomb
The ascorbic acid and alpha arbutin is a powerful Vitamin C. I like to use this in the mornings after I prep my skin and a good hyrulaunic acid... works wonders every time, leaving the skin plump and firm. Love it.
