Reviews

Excellent products but obstacles in delivery

"I have been using minimalist products since 3 years and i have nothing but positive results. My acne scars have drastically disappeared, significant black heads gone. I used to have acne papules but they too have gone. People noticed my skin glowing and even commented on how jealous they felt seeing my skin glowing. I am grateful to minimalist for all the results. The greatest hurdle is in the delivery. I live in a politically unstable area and sometimes delivery gets hampered which is my greatest challenge in ordering the products"

— Rodai L. (5/5)

Milder product for skin and good brightening

"I like this product better than vitamin c 16% because it does similar work of brightening dark spots but if your skin is already irritated or barrier is unrepaired it may cause burning sensation since its active ingredient. But if your skin is normal this will do amazing wonders."

— Nestha C. (4/5)

Amazing.

"To be honest this Alpha Arbutin serum is absolutely amazing! It worked wonders on my uneven skin. I was struggling with acne, blackheads,uneven texture,and hyperpigmentation,and this serum gradually cleared up all of those issues. My skin now looks healthy,radiant, and glowing. What impresses me the most is that it hasn't even been a full month yet, and the results are already so visible. This is officially a permanent staple in my skincare routine."

— Yashika .. (5/5)

Great

"This product is good like it feels so light weight on my face means I don't even feel like I have applied something on my face. And for my skin (which is a bit oily) I don't feel any irritation or rashes even from the first use and I don't feel any oilness after applying the serum.. which is great.. I have been using it in the night after cleanser and the next I'd apply sunscreen. But I surely takes some time ig. Should try!!"

— Abinaya S. (3/5)

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)

Good product

"I am using this product since last one month for dull skin or pigmentation, bhut hi jaldi difference dekhne ko mila h such m bhut accha product h"

— Sonam .. (5/5)

Its a good product

"Its very nice serum it helped my skin get brighter. And its texture was good too"

— Rishit S. (5/5)

Excellent

"Fades acne marks really well. And made my skin brighter. Also helps to even out the skin tone."

— Nidhi K. (5/5)

Cap needs to be improved

"I’m having an issue with the bottle cap. Whenever I try to tighten the cap, it becomes loose instead of sealing properly. Because of this, the serum around the cap area seems to get exposed to air and becomes oxidised, leaving a white, powder-like residue around the opening. Now I have to be very careful while closing the bottle and tighten it only to a certain point to avoid the problem. I really hope the packaging can be improved, because it affects the product and makes it difficult to use properly."

— Thrishna V. (3/5)

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)

Can Alpha Arbutin be used on dark or brown skin?

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.

What is the recommended age, and who can use this product?

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.

Is the product pregnancy safe?

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