What is Alpha Arbutin ?

rbutin is a naturally occurring substance found in plants such as Bearberry, Cranberry and Mulberry that inhibits the development of melanin (the pigment that creates skin colour). Alpha Arbutin is a chemically synthesised variant of plant extract used as a topical skin brightening agent to treat dark spots, pigmentation, and scars caused by UV exposure and breakouts. It also contains antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from UV rays. It’s a common ingredient in anti-ageing creams, along with retinol, to cure age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Top Benefits of Alpha Arbutin !

Listed below are some amazing benefits of Alpha Arbutin:

Reduce dark spots or patches:

By inhibiting tyrosinase activity, alpha-arbutin is known to reduce melanin production in the skin. Tyrosine and melanin levels are lower, which means reduced pigmentation, black patches, and a more even skin tone. Alpha arbutin can be used to diminish age spots, post-blemish redness and acne. It helps to make you free from freckles or liver spots if you have them.

Moisturizes skin:

If your skin is dry and flaky, you can fundamentally profit from arbutin’s effective use. It secures and supports the skin, giving you a smoother, youthful look.

Sun protection:

Arbutin has sun protection benefits because it inhibits the formation of tyrosinase, which causes the skin to darken after exposure to the sun.

Skin-friendly:

In contrast to other skin brightening treatments, arbutin does not irritate or dry the skin. Because arbutin’s active component is released slowly, it may be less irritating than other skin-lightening agents, making it ideal for persons with sensitive skin.

Improves uneven complexion:

Arbutin can help prevent or eradicate dark spots by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme that aids in the creation of melanin (which results in a more even complexion). Alpha arbutin helps to improve skintone.

Safer than Hydroquinone:

Hydroquinone was formerly marketed as a skin-lightening wonder ingredient – until the FDA warned that it was cancer-causing (when taken orally rather than applied topically). Arbutin inhibits the enzymes that activate pigment-producing cells, whereas hydroquinones damage the cells that create pigmentation and melanin.

Brightens skin:

Arbutin evens and brightens your complexion, making it appear healthier and more vibrant. Consider it similar to a skin care beauty blender; however, instead of blending out with foundation, arbutin literally blends out your actual skin. Arbutin brings out your inner beaming, beautiful angel face.

How to Use ?

Patch test:

Put a small amount of arbutin on your forehead (where your facial skin is thickest) at night. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, start using the product as a nightly spot treatment on your skin. Apply the arbutin product both morning and night if there is no irritation after a week.

Apply on the entire face or spot treatment:

You can use arbutin as a spot treatment on the parts of your face affected by hyperpigmentation, or you can use it to treat your entire face (avoid eyes, lips, and mouth). Hyperpigmentation can affect other areas of your body besides your faces, such as your chest and hands. Arbutin can therefore be applied to the tops of your hands and chest.

Arbutin can be taken twice a day for the best benefits. It can be taken in the morning and at night.
