Alpha Arbutin is a high-purity, water-soluble active ingredient widely used in skincare formulations for its powerful skin-brightening properties. This cosmetic-grade compound is a biosynthetic derivative of hydroquinone, but with a gentler profile, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Alpha Arbutin works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, effectively reducing hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. It is a key ingredient in serums, creams, and other cosmetic products designed to enhance skin clarity and brightness.

PRECAUTIONS

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination.
- Combine with Sunscreen: Use with sunscreen during the day to protect against UV rays, as alpha arbutin targets pigmentation issues that can worsen with sun exposure.
- Professional Guidance: Consult a skincare professional for guidance on blending with other actives like vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinoids.
USAGE TIPS
- Incorporate into serums, creams, or lotions for targeted application on areas of hyperpigmentation.
- Use consistently for at least 8-12 weeks to observe visible results.
- Avoid using with exfoliating acids in the same routine to minimize irritation.
