Description

Alpha-Arbutin is a highly effective form of arbutin used for skin lightening and reducing hyperpigmentation. It inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for producing melanin, which prevents the appearance of dark spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. Alpha-Arbutin has a more stable structure and better penetration than beta-arbutin, making it a popular ingredient in serums, creams, and toners for skin lightening.
