Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum with Vitamin C & Ginseng.

"This never gets spoken about when it comes to hyperpigmentation, but antioxidants are great at fading it because they protect the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging, both triggers for hyperpigmentation, and certain antioxidants have great brightening benefits too. This is one of the cleverest formulated antioxidant serums I've ever used, and it's one of the unsung heroes from The Ordinary collection that nobody talks about, which is a crying shame because it genuinely works. It has vitamin C, a great potent pigment corrector when used alongside other ingredients, plus a range of other antioxidants that all focus on brightening and fading hyperpigmentation. You can swap out whatever antioxidant serum you're using at the moment for this and you'll maintain the antioxidant benefits but also get the hyperpigmentation fighting too. It's really good, and it's really inexpensive, the cheapest option I've mentioned today."

"It's got eight different technologies in here, one of which is ginseng, and I'm a huge ginseng fan so I was really curious to see how this would go. It's got a bit of a yellow color and no smell, which is really good for those of you that don't like the hanbang scent in a lot of ginseng products out of Korea. It's more watery than I thought it would be, but it feels very viscous going onto the skin, so it sits a bit on the surface, it's one of those slower absorbing serums. That's okay to me, I can wait a little longer in between steps for my products to absorb, but if that's a dealbreaker for you that's where you might want to look into the next price range. I love this new direction of The Ordinary, eight different technologies all in one place for fourteen dollars."
