Description
The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is a serum designed to target hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. It combines alpha arbutin, a skin-lightening agent, with hyaluronic acid (HA) for added hydration.
Key Ingredients:
- Alpha Arbutin (2%): Alpha arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone, known for its skin-lightening properties. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for melanin production, helping to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and discoloration. Alpha arbutin is considered a safer alternative to hydroquinone and is suitable for all skin types.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, providing hydration and plumping effects. It helps counteract the potential drying effects of alpha arbutin and ensures the skin remains well-hydrated during treatment.
How to Use:
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities from the skin’s surface. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply the Serum: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck using upward motions. Be cautious and avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Let the serum absorb into your skin for a few minutes before applying any additional skincare products. Alpha arbutin serums are typically lightweight and absorb quickly.
- Follow with Moisturizer: After the serum has been absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and further nourish the skin. This step is crucial, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
- Sun Protection: While alpha arbutin itself doesn’t increase sun sensitivity, it’s essential to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the daytime to protect your skin from UV damage and maintain its health and appearance.
