Description

This formula combines two of the most powerful brightening agents in skincare: pure Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin, both solubilized in a completely water-free formula for ideal stability. Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces signs of aging. Alpha Arbutin is a highly- purified biosynthetic active ingredient that reduces the look of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Notes: Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin are less stable in formulations that contain water and use of them combined in formulations containing water is highly discouraged. This formulation is a water-free, stable solution, and may feel slightly "oily" for a few seconds after application, despite the fact that it is completely free of oil.

    • FANTASTIC RESULTS
This gave me the best results. I know The Ordinary discontinued it, but PLEASE bring it back! It literally was the BEST. I'd rather switch to something like Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow than have to add an extra step by separately buying and using The Ordinary's ascorbic acid then alpha arbutin. This 2-in-1 is(was) the best :) ... show more

    • Nice Serum
Had some stress breakouts that took long to heal and were leaving marks on my 69 year old skin. This has been helping in healing and fading darkened spots. Be patient as nothing will work overnight. Thankful not only that this is working, but it’s more economical than what I’ve used previously.

The media could not be loaded. The ordinary product line is the best, I use this serum in the morning, it leaves my skin smooth, soft, glowing, very hydrated, and there is definitely a difference in my skin, since I started using these products. This is one of the few serums I use from this product line. ... show more

    • Nice, dewy glow
Decided to try this serum.. (can't use it with some of the other serums), but on off days I'll be using this one.. Applied it to face & neck before bed, and woke up with glowy, very dewy moisturized skin.. Great addition to my skincare routine! love it.

    • It’s not vitamin C. There’s no vitamin C
The media could not be loaded. It’s not working. I conducted a test for the presence of ascorbic acid, and there is nothing inside. What have I been applying to my face all this time?! I want to sue you. To test for the presence of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) using iodine, you can follow this simple method: 1. Prepare an iodine solution: Dilute a few drops of iodine in a small amount of water to create a light brown solution. 2. **Prepare the sample**: For example, if you want to test fruit juice or a vitamin C solution, pour a small amount into a glass or test tube. 3. **Add the iodine solution**: Add a few drops of the iodine solution to the sample. 4. **Observe the reaction**: If vitamin C is present in the sample, the solution will become decolorized or significantly lighter. This happens because ascorbic acid reduces iodine to colorless iodide. This method is based on the redox properties of vitamin C. However, keep in mind that it is not an exact scientific test and should be used only for a rough estimate of the presence of vitamin C. ... show more
