Alpha arbutine
1.WHAT IS ALPHA ARBUTIN?
Extracted from plants such as bearberries, blueberries, and cranberries, alpha arbutin is a safe skin brightening ingredient that helps to fade scars and pigmentation left behind by breakouts and sun damage.
2.HOW DOES Alpha arbutin WORK?
Alpha arbutin is frequently marketed as a safer alternative to hydroquinone (a popular skin-lightening ingredient that has been banned in Europe and Australia). It has similar results in brightening skin but without the dangerous bleaching process. Instead, it reduces skin’s pigment production by suppressing the enzymes that stimulate melanin. This also slows down the process by which UV light causes pigmentation, so it both prevents and treats pigmentation issues.
3. WHY SHOULD I USE IT?
If you experience post-blemish redness, age spots, or acne scars then alpha-arbutin is very effective at treating these kinds of pigmentation. It also helps to even out skin tone and reduce overall redness. If you have sensitive skin, then it’s worth giving alpha-arbutin a try since it’s known for being gentler than other skin brighteners like retinol and glycolic acid.
