๐Ÿ”ฌ How It Actually Works

A naturally occurring derivative of hydroquinone. It slowly releases active brightening agents into the skin without the severe risks of cell damage.

๐Ÿ’– Why Your Skin Loves It

Fades hyperpigmentation, evens out skin tone, and is much gentler than pure vitamin C.

Works best when paired with AHAs, which help clear the dead skin so the Arbutin can penetrate deeper.
