  2. 2 Use before moisturizer.

Routine placement

Where it fits

Morning: Cleanser → The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Night: Cleanser → The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA → Moisturizer

For dark spots and acne marks, pair with consistent daily sunscreen. Without sunscreen, pigmentation routines will not work properly.

Realistic expectations

What to expect, and when

Week 4
Very little visible yet. This is normal.
Week 8
Dark spots start to lighten at the edges.
Week 12 and beyond
Meaningful fading, if you have worn sunscreen every single day.

Alpha arbutin is slow and specific. It targets pigment production, not brightness in general. If you want a faster overall glow, a niacinamide serum will feel more rewarding sooner.

Good to know

This might not be for you

  • Avoid if your skin reacts badly to alpha arbutin or hyaluronic acid.
  • If your skin is very sensitive or barrier-damaged, patch test first and start slowly.
  • Do not use on broken or irritated skin if it causes stinging.

Authenticity

How to know it's genuine

Sourced through verified importers, never grey-market resellers.

Genuine The Ordinary bottles have a batch code and expiry printed on the carton and matching text on the bottle label. Deciem uses a distinctive clean, evenly spaced typeface — crooked or thick printing is the usual counterfeit tell.

Questions, answered

Before you buy

How is this different from the Niacinamide serum?

Alpha arbutin targets pigment specifically — dark spots and melasma. Niacinamide is broader: oil, pores, general tone. For stubborn spots, this one.

Can I use both?

Yes, they do not conflict. Apply this one first as it is lighter.

How long until I see something?

Eight to twelve weeks, honestly. Anyone promising faster on pigmentation is overselling.
