Alpha-Arbutin: What can the ingredient do in your skincare?

You will mainly encounter alpha-arbutin in serums for a more even-looking complexion. It can influence the formation of the skin pigment melanin and is therefore used in care for visible pigment differences. Alpha-arbutin and the beta-arbutin known as arbutin are related, chemically different forms. It is therefore worth taking a close look at Alpha-Arbutin on the ingredients list.

In the COSRX The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum , the manufacturer mentions 2 percent alpha-arbutin; The formula also contains niacinamide and tranexamic acid. So it’s a combination. A few drops are added to the cream after cleansing and, if necessary, toner. Start with a small amount so you can get the feel of it and add sunscreen in the morning.

  • do not function as intended.

Sellers are liable for any lack of conformity that existed at the time of delivery of the goods and becomes apparent within the statutory guarantee period. In such cases sellers must offer:
