However, to ensure maximum stability and effectiveness of both products, it's often recommended to use them at different times of the day. A common routine is to use Vitamin C in the morning for its antioxidant benefits and Alpha Arbutin in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this serum \"bleach\" or lighten my natural skin tone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Alpha-Arbutin does not bleach the skin. It works by targeting the overproduction of melanin in specific areas, which helps to fade dark spots and even out your complexion, restoring your skin to its natural, even tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this product safe to use during pregnancy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha-Arbutin is generally considered one of the safer alternatives for treating hyperpigmentation during pregnancy compared to ingredients like retinoids or hydroquinone. However, there is limited specific data. We strongly recommend consulting with your doctor before incorporating any new active skincare product into your routine while pregnant or breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does it feel sticky on my skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe slightly tacky texture is due to the high concentration of humectants like Hyaluronic Acid in a simple water-based formula.

Pilling (when the product balls up) is usually caused by applying too much product or not allowing it to fully absorb before layering other products on top. Use only 2-3 drops and wait a minute before your next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this serum good for redness?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, Niacinamide has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce the redness associated with blemishes and general skin sensitivity.

Can I use this with Vitamin C?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    It is best not to. The Ordinary advises against using this serum in the same routine as direct Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic or Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid).

Is this good for hormonal acne?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Yes, it can be very helpful. Hormonal fluctuations often lead to increased oil production, which this serum directly targets. By controlling sebum and reducing inflammation, it can help manage breakouts on the jawline and chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Why does it make my other products pill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Pilling is usually caused by applying too much of the product or not allowing it to fully absorb before applying the next layer. Use just 2-3 drops, pat it into the skin instead of rubbing, and wait 60 seconds before your next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Will 10% Niacinamide be too strong for me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    For most oily and combination skin types, 10% is effective.
