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.

Worked perfectly
I used it on my chest for some hyperpigmentation and it was gone in less than 2 weeks. This is amazing. Really oily though. I continue to use it on my face now, but don't see much of a difference there.

Amazing for textured skin
This got rid of my bumps and unevenness, however, after a couple months of usage I feel like it is drying out my skin a bit.

Like it
I like this serum as a break between vitamin C's. It absorbs well into the skin however i haven't noticed any significant changes to my texture etc.

Oily texture
Not my favorite vitamin c product but I did see results. The texture is quite oily so you have to wait for it to absorb before applying other products

It’s oke
This vitamin c serum is oke, it is very oily, so if you like that consistency it’s great, also feel like it doesn’t really do anything for my skin, so won’t repurchase.

Ok but not amazing
I was using another Vit C Serum before but it was so expensive, so decided to try this one out instead. It is actually not bad, takes a while to sink in as it has a bit of an oily feel to it but after a few minutes it sinks in nicely. Not sure yet about the results but will give it a try for a few weeks.

Good serum for the price
This is a good serum for the price. I did stop using it after a while because I felt like it was a bit much for my skin but if you are looking for a cheap vitamin C serum, I definitely suggest trying this.
