Product: The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%
Price: USD 10.00
Size: 1oz
《《《《《《《《《《《☆》》》》》》》》》》》
Key Benefits:
🍊Brightens skin tone
🍊Reduces the look of dark spots
Amazing Ingredients:
🍊Ascorbic Acid
🍊Alpha Arbutin
Packaging:
🍊The serum comes in a UV protective dark amber glass bottle. This is very good. It will help prevent the ascorbic acid from oxidizing quicker. Plus, it looks nice. The applicator is a white dropper. The seal on the cap is very good. It assures no air can enter the bottle.
Scent:
🍊This serum does not have a scent. I like that. I prefer products that do not have any scent.
Texture/Consistency/Color:
🍊The texture of this serum is oily. It's very smooth once applied and dries with zero to no oiliness. The consistency is very liquidy. There is no color.
How to use:
🍊Apply a few drops to the face in the AM and PM as part of your skincare regimen. Use sun protection in the AM.
My Experience:
I wanted a vitamin c product that was affordable so I can apply it to my back and chest for my old acne scars. I do not want to use an expensive vitamin c product for so much surface area to cover. That was how I came across this serum. I bought it knowing it has good reviews and it is very affordable.
I used this product every night on my back and chest. It takes 8-10 drops in total. I apply it with my hands after I shower. It only takes 20 seconds for it to dry, but I let it dry for 5 minutes before getting dressed. I noticed it will stain my clothes, so I wear dark colored pajamas now.
In terms of effectiveness, I have almost no clue how well it works on my back. But, I can feel the skin on my back becoming softer and smoother. I had a few scars that were slightly bumpy, those have now been smoothed out. This took approximately 1 month. I noticed the same thing happening on my chest scars. I can see how well the scars have faded. But, I still see the scars. I will be purchasing a vitamin c product with a higher concentration once I finish this bottle. It works amazing, but I think my skin is ready for something stronger.
Once oxidized, the serum becomes an orange-pink color. It stains my finger nails if I do not wash my hands after I use it, which I don't. I cannot remove this stain unless I cut my nail off. But, this is a me problem.
