Description
Alpha arbutin helps reduce sun spots. This serum is non-irritating, which is relatively rare since most ingredients used to combat hyperpigmentation unfortunately cause skin irritation. Alcohol-free, silicone-free and gluten-free, with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5, this serum treats your skin's pigmentation problems via Alpha Arbutin concentrated at 2 %. According to The Ordinary, this active ingredient is more powerful than either Arbutin or Beta Arbutin. The brightening effect is supported by a hyaluronic acid polymer that also moisturizes your skin. As a result, this serum will reduce photo-aging spots and even out your complexion. This formula is non-irritating, which is relatively rare with depigmenting active ingredients.
How do I use Alpha Arbutine 2 % + HA?
Apply this aqueous serum morning and/or evening to cleansed skin, after using a toning lotion. Gently pat a few drops of Alpha Arbutine 2 % + HA serum onto your face until it penetrates the skin. Avoid the eye contour area. Lock in the active ingredients with your moisturizer, while protecting your skin from the sun.
Although this formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skin, the first time you use it, apply just a few drops to a small area of your skin. Wait 24 hours. If there is no skin reactivity, start incorporating it into your beauty routine.
In the event of severe irritation, discontinue use and consult your doctor or dermatologist.

Beauty decoded's opinion
Alpha arbutin is a spot-fighting active ingredient that transforms into hydroquinone on the skin's surface. Hydroquinone is a gold-standard ingredient in the fight against spots, but is banned in France due to its significant side effects. This serum is light but a little sticky due to its film-forming agent-rich formulation.
What are the alternatives?
What are the alternatives to Alpha Arbutin 2 % + HA?
To boost the brightening effects of alpha arbutin, you can add or replace it with a product based on vitamin C or one of its derivatives. This antioxidant is one of the most effective ingredients for restoring radiance and uniformity to your skin.
By accelerating cell regeneration, retinol helps to reduce the appearance of spots caused by photoaging or acne scars. It evens out skin tone.
Azelaic acid, derived from cereals such as wheat, rye or barley, will lighten and act as a skin anti-inflammatory. Recommended for oily, acne-prone skin.
Fruit acids (AHAs) such as glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid are chemical exfoliants used to exfoliate dead skin cells. They will therefore attenuate brown spots, skin discoloration and acne scars. Your skin is brighter and your complexion more even.
Tranexamic acid is widely used to combat hyperpigmentation. This active ingredient inhibits melanin production and prevents the formation of brown spots.
Where can I buy Alpha Arbutin 2 % + HA?
This cosmetic product can be purchased directly from The Ordinary website, which guarantees that it has not been stored for too long by a retailer.

A pleasant, fluid serum. I've been testing it for 3 months, morning and night, mixed with Typology's 5% tranexamic acid serum: winning combo: my spots are less visible.
