THE ORDINARY Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA Serum

Anything but ordinary, this gel-like serum is formulated with a highly-concentrated dose of alpha arbutin – a skin-brightening ingredient that works by reducing melanin production. Targeting hyper-pigmentation, age spots, dark spots, marks and scars by inhibiting melanin, The Ordinary’s Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA helps to balance confused complexions and even out the skin’s texture. With the addition of a highly efficacious form of hyaluronic acid for enhanced delivery, the serum penetrates deep beneath the skin’s surface…

Supercharged with alpha arbutin (a safe skin-brightening ingredient that reduces melanin production), this high-potency, gel-like serum targets the look of hyper-pigmentation and dark spots to reveal more even, younger-looking skin. Also enhanced with hyaluronic acid, the serum delivers its advanced active ingredients deep into skin.

Alpha Arbutin reduces the looks of spots and hyper-pigmentation. It’s used at a high 2% concentration versus a standard concentration of 1% and supported with a next-generation form of Hyaluronic Acid for enhanced delivery. Alpha Arbutin is much stronger in effect than Arbutin or Beta Arbutin.

Note: Alpha Arbutin is extremely sensitive to degradation in the presence of water if the pH of the formulation is not ideal. The pH of this formula is approximately 4.9 which is shown to be the most suitable pH to minimize degradation of Alpha Arbutin.
