Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA

product review positives
๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: 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. ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: โ€ขalpha arbutin is skin-brightening and depigmenting agent, a derivative of hydroquinone โ€ขhydrolysed sodium hyaluronate moisturises the deeper layers of the skin and helps retain moisture โ€ขgentle lactic acid has amazing skin hydration properties and lifts off dead skin cells ๐๐ž๐ง๐ž๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ: โ€ขevens out skin tone โ€ขtackles acne scars โ€ขincreases skinโ€™s hydration โ€ขrepair the skin and itโ€™s barrier ๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž: โœ…: as a POC, Iโ€™m always on the look for a product thatโ€™s gentle enough to help fade my stubborn scars without irritation. Not only did this serum deliver that, but it also helped my dry skin tackle dehydration. I love the combination of alpha arbutin and hyaluronic acid - itโ€™s a two in one! Iโ€™ve been using the alpha arbutin for two months and Iโ€™ve noticed my cheeks brighten and the scarring around it start to fade. It never irritated my sensitive skin and would actually help strengthen my skin barrier. I could easily use this over any active breakouts, unlike ascorbic acid which could have lead to further irritation. As long as I see results, this is definitely a keeper in my routine.
product review negatives
โŽ: there is a slight sticky/tacky residue once youโ€™ve worked the serum on your skin - I always like to apply this on damp skin which does help the tackiness, yet it still remains. Once I have applied moisturiser, I can no longer feel it, yet if you are looking for a product thatโ€™s more comfortable when you apply it, I would avoid this. The results are really slow. This isnโ€™t a quick fix or as effective as my vitamin c. Overall, I still do like this serum for long time use in my routine, but I would like something perhaps a bit stronger/effective to help with my acne scars at the moment.
