Hello beauties! How are you all? As promised, I am back with another amazing formulation by Dr. Sheth’s. Today I will review Ashwagandha & Alpha Arbutin Serum. *PR by the Brand*
BRAND CLAIMS
This serum reduces dark spots, acne scarring and hyperpigmentation and gives you even-toned glowing skin. With the active component of Arbutin being released slowly, this formulation works well, even for sensitive skin. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that reduces stress induced irritation and breakouts while boosting collagen to ensure an ageless glow.

MY EXPERIENCE
You all know how much I loved the Vitamin C serum by Dr Sheth’s. I was really excited when recently they launched Alpha Arbutin serum for hyperpigmentation. This serum reduces hyperpigmentation and gives brighter looking skin. I have finished one bottle of the serum. We can use it on its own or in combination with vitamin C serum. I have tried it both ways. In my night time routine after toner firstly I apply Vitamin C serum and then wait for it to sink in, and then apply Alpha Arbutin serum. They work amazingly together. I have seen visible brightness and subtle glow in my skin. I am so impressed by the formulation that I have already repurchased it.
We can use this serum both in Am or Pm routine. It helps in giving you even skin tone and helps in reducing dark spots given by pimples. Texture of the serum is so lightweight, it does not feel tacky on the skin. Kojic acid beads burst the moment we touch them. This serum never irritated my skin thanks to Ashwagandha, it helps in calming down the skin. Overall, it is a great serum.
