Reviews

Visible Glow After Just One Week of Using Alpha Arbutin Serum

"After 1 week of alpha arbutin Overall: Your skin looks fairly even and there is no obvious severe irritation, peeling, or redness visible. Pigmentation: There is still some uneven/darker pigmentation around the under-eye area, chin area, and some cheek areas. That's normal after only one week. Texture: Your skin looks relatively smooth, although there is some visible shine/moisture on the forehead and cheeks. No dramatic brightening yet: I wouldn't expect a meaningful pigmentation change after just 7 days. Alpha arbutin generally needs several weeks of consistent use to judge properly."

— Sathwika D. (4/5)

One of the best hyperpigmentation

"One of the best hyperpigmentation serums in market. I have used 3 bottles of it so far! Helps with tanning & new acne marks. Very gentle, so can be used continuously for months. Very versatile, so can be used with most of other actives as well."

— Manisha A. (5/5)

Not bad

"Been using the product since a month. Can see changes but couldn’t decide whether it is because of the product or dark spots are fading generally. Maybe it takes time for it to work. But skin texture has improved irrespective of the black spots. For that i like the product. Will have to wait and see."

Alpha Arbutin can be used by all skin tones as it does not change your skin color but evens out your complexion. It lightens the areas that are darker such as age spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, etc. due to excessive melanin production, resulting in a natural even skin tone.
Alpha Arbutin is an advanced molecule and does not cause cell cytotoxicity; thus it is a safe skin lightening active suitable for all skin tones.

The early-20s is a suitable age for using Alpha Arbutin, as that's when the first signs of age spots & sun damage in the form of pigmentation might start showing.
Alpha Arbutin is a milder alternative to other agents like Kojic Acid (which has high cytotoxicity) and is safe to use. However, people with extra sensitive skin should consult a dermatologist before considering incorporating Alpha Arbutin into their skincare.
Both males and females with skin concerns like blemishes, acne scars, dark spots, and uneven skin tone can benefit from Alpha Arbutin.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should not use this product without consulting their healthcare provider first.
