' Smooth & brighten your skin with The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA, a lightweight serum designed to fight spots, hyperpigmentation & uneven texture.'
- Hannah, Escentual Beauty Team. Why You'll Love The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin: Facial serum that smooths skin texture & reduces blemishes. Reduces the appearance of dark spots & hyperpigmentation. Features a lightweight, fast-absorbing fluid texture. Housed in a minimalist glass bottle with a pipette top. What You Need To Know: Harnessing the power of alpha arbutin, a biosynthetic active ingredient, The Ordinary's serum works to brighten the skin & reduce the appearance of spots. The 2% concentration of this active evens out skin tone to leave your complexion looking smooth, glowy & free from spots. To complete the mix, a next-generation form of hyaluronic acid works to lock in moisture & protect the skin barrier. Why It's Escentual: In just one easy step, The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin serum effectively fights spots whilst unlocking an instant glow. Over time, your skin appears brighter as uneven texture is smoothed out for a uniform, healthy-looking radiance. This is all thanks to alpha arbutin, which your skin gets a 2% dose of here (that's double the industry standard concentration you'd fine across a lot of other skincare formulas.) A powerful shot of hyaluronic acid means that the serum feels soothing & hydrating as you apply it, while it also helps the formula to glide effortlessly over your skin. The texture of the serum sits between a liquid & a gel, so it feels slightly thicker than water. This means that it feels ever so slightly sticky as you massage it in, but it quickly absorbs to leave your complexion super smooth & soft, layering perfectly underneath makeup. The Best Way To Use It: Apply two drops to cleansed, dry skin, morning & night. Massage the serum in until your skin feels smooth & soft
- this takes less than 10 seconds. Apply your moisturiser on top of the serum, & make sure to follow up with SPF when using it in the morning. The Sustainable Side: The outer carton & glass bottle are recyclable.
