In the quest for healthy, glowing skin, it’s essential to understand the ingredients that make up our favourite products and enable their efficacy. One such ingredient that has been gaining popularity in the skincare world in recent years is Alpha Arbutin – a top choice brightening active that should be a staple in your skincare routine if you battling issues like pigmentation and post-acne scarring.
What is Alpha Arbutin?
Alpha Arbutin is a natural compound found in various plant species such as bearberry, cranberries, and blueberries. It’s a type of hydroquinone derivative, known for its brightening and complexion-evening properties.
Alpha Arbutin slows the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone. Reduced melanin formation means less hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other discolorations, leaving behind a brighter, more even complexion.
Benefits of Alpha Arbutin
- Brightens Skin: Say goodbye to dullness! Alpha Arbutin effectively brightens the skin, giving you a natural glow.
- Fades Dark Marks: Whether it’s acne scars or sun spots, Alpha Arbutin can help fade those pesky dark spots and patches, revealing clearer, more radiant skin.
- Gentle on Skin: Unlike other skin-brightening agents, Alpha Arbutin is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
- Mixes/Layers Well: Alpha Arbutin layers and works well with other spot-fading ingredients like niacinamide, kojic acid, and Vitamin C so it’ll still be effective beneath and on top of your other products.
