The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% Vitamin C Serum Dark Spot Remover Whitening

Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% is a skincare product that combines ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and alpha arbutin. These two ingredients are known for their skin-brightening and pigmentation-reducing properties.

Product Claims and Benefits:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid, 8%): Ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It also has several beneficial effects on the skin:
Brightening: Vitamin C can help reduce the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production.
Collagen Synthesis: It stimulates collagen production, which can help improve skin's firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Repair: Vitamin C aids in repairing damaged skin and can contribute to a healthier and more youthful complexion.

Alpha Arbutin (2%): Alpha arbutin is known for its skin-lightening properties. It can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Alpha arbutin is considered a milder alternative to other skin-lightening ingredients like hydroquinone.

How to Use:
Apply a few drops of the product to the face in the morning and/or evening, before moisturizers and sunscreens.
When using in the morning, be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.
