The Ordinary Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% 30ml is a popular skincare product that is known for its brightening and evening effects on the skin. It contains two of the most effective brightening agents in skincare: vitamin C and alpha arbutin.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. It also helps to brighten the skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Alpha arbutin is a natural skin lightener that works by inhibiting the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme that is essential for melanin production. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color, so by inhibiting tyrosinase, alpha arbutin can help to lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
The Ordinary Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% 30ml is a water-free serum, which means that it is more stable and effective than water-based vitamin C serums.
