Alpha Arbutin

INCI: Alpha-Arbutin. Alpha arbutin is a plant-derived tyrosinase inhibitor, supplied here in powder form, used in formulations targeting uneven skin tone and the appearance of dark marks. It is a non-hydroquinone alternative, suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Key Aspects of Alpha Arbutin:
How it Works: It works as a tyrosinase inhibitor, essentially preventing melanin (pigment) from forming in the skin.

Formulation Use: used in formulations targeting the appearance of brown marks, uneven tone and overall radiance.

Skin Compatibility: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and does not increase sun sensitivity.

Usage: Commonly found in water-based serums (often at 2% concentration) and works well with hyaluronic acid for hydration, or with vitamin C and niacinamide for added brightening.
Consistency: Consistent daily use is required, with results often visible within 4–12 weeks.
