What It Does

• Alpha arbutin (2%) helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin production.
• Hyaluronic acid (HA) provides lightweight hydration, helping skin appear plump and smooth without a heavy or greasy feel.

How to Use

• Cleanse your face and apply a few drops to the target areas or entire face after cleansing and before heavier creams.
• Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen during the day.
• Frequency: Start with 3–4 times per week, then increase to daily use if tolerated.
• Patch test first: apply a small amount to a discreet area for 24–48 hours to check for irritation.
• Tip: If you’re using other active ingredients (like vitamin C orretinoids), introduce Alpha Arbutin gradually to monitor compatibility.
