๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ: Can I just say, this serum is now my FAVORITE!!! Can you imagine having these two ingredients in one bottle? Vitamin C is an antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces signs of aging, while Alpha Arbutin is a highly-p...

This product has three ingridients with two ingridients being the highlight - ascorbic acid and alpha arbutin. Together, these both are an amazing brightening duo! I did notice my scars become significatly brighter in the two months I used it. This w...

The texture of this product is what stopped me from continuing with it. I have dry skin so the oily residue when I first patched didnโ€™t put me off. However, once on my face, it just never absorbed. I always felt it on my skin, and was difficult to ap...

Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%

product review positives

It truly does work very well. I know the Ordinary has their separate 2% alpha arbutin serum, but unless you are sensitive to ascorbic acid, i donโ€™t know why you would pick it over this one. Ascorbic acid in combination with alpha arbutin is a power h...

product review negatives

The texture is awful. Itโ€™s super oily and quite unpleasant, especially at first. After a few weeks i have gotten used to it and it didnโ€™t biothwr me that much. Of course, i would love for them to work on it a little bit, but itโ€™s the sacrifice that c...

This product really worked for me, this helped me fade my acne scar and also brightened up my skin. I uase this every morning after cleansing and toning my face and top it up with a moisturizer and spf.

Might feel oily while applying but its absolutely oil free.

๐ŸŠ contains a derivative of vitamin c which is ascorbic acid ๐ŸŠ initially, i did not like this product because it was way too hot on my skin but i just turned out that i had to gain tolerance to it. itโ€™s still as hot on my skin but not as hot as i...

product review negatives

what i did not like about it is that it leaves an extremely greasy feel on the face after - my face literally looks like i put oil on it so i donโ€™t use it when going outside for obvious reasons
