It will fade their appearance and even things out, plus the addition of hyaluronic acid keeps it hydrating. Think of it as a specialized option for dark spots. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA ($9): So this affordable serum champions arbutin, one of the hero ingredients within the Active Serum. It also has a cocktail of antioxidants inside, making it great in terms of protection, too. Honestly, this is pretty unmatched when it comes to brightening and clarifying the skin, but similar options can be found below.Ĭosmedix Simply Brilliant ($60): Like the Active Serum, this works to gently exfoliate the skin and brighten pigmentation, thanks to a mix of salicylic acid, lactic acid, whitonyl, and waltheria. You also only need a few drops, so it goes a long way. So if you’re looking to invest and hopefully change your skin, it’s absolutely worth it. There’s no denying this is an expensive serum, but think of it as a serious treatment product. Overall, I’ve got a calm, clear, bright complexion (most of the time), and I owe some of that to Is Clinical. The directions state that you can use it daily, but this system has worked really well for me. Nowadays, I use the Active Serum two to three nights a week after cleansing and before moisturizer (I cycle it with a vitamin A). It feels super fresh, sinks in quickly and gives results in as little as a week, too. The arbutin is a fantastic addition too, as it lightens dark spots, and in my case, reduced the look of post-acne scarring. The bilberry and sugarcane really work to exfoliate dead, dull surface cells, whereas the willow bark functions as salicylic acid, unclogging pores and eliminating the severity and frequency of breakouts. In my experience, the rumors were (and continue to be) true: This really is one of the greatest treatment serums I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. There’s glycerin as well, to provide a little hydration. The serum does contain alcohol denat, an ingredient some skin experts claim as drying (however, the evidence is vague and I personally didn’t find it to be an issue). The Is Clinical Active Serum is a potent blend of botanical actives, namely arbutin from mushroom, bilberry, white willow bark (a form of salicylic acid), and sugarcane extract. I guess you could say that a really good skin-clearing serum or treatment product is the cornerstone of my routine. I use a lot of exfoliating/brightening/clarifying skincare products (sparingly but regularly) to keep my pores clean, shine at bay, and skin tone bright. My skin is good when I look after it, but by default it’s prone to congestion, breakouts, uneven tone, pigmentation, and general dullness. Now, the brand is loved by celebrities and dermatologists alike. Best for Normal, combination, oily, acne-prone, and dull skin typesĪbout the brand: iS Clinical was founded in 2002 by Bryan Johns and Alec Call, who wanted to create a science-backed product line that delivered results.
