Introducing our Alpha Arbutin Serum—your go-to solution for brighter, more even-toned skin. This fragrance-free formula is designed to help fade dark marks, calm inflammation, and restore your skin’s natural glow using a carefully selected trio of powerhouse ingredients.

At the core of this brightening serum is Alpha Arbutin, a gold-standard ingredient known for targeting hyperpigmentation and reducing the appearance of dark spots. It works by inhibiting excess melanin production, helping to gradually reveal a clearer, more radiant complexion.

To enhance its effects, the formula includes Azelaic Acid—a gentle exfoliant that smooths skin texture by removing dead skin cells and refining tone. Azelaic Acid also offers anti-inflammatory benefits, making it suitable for irritated or blemish-prone skin.

Balancing the active ingredients is Allantoin, a deeply soothing and hydrating compound that reduces redness and supports skin barrier repair. This ingredient ensures your skin stays comfortable, nourished, and calm while the brightening actives do their work.

Some users may notice a slightly grainy texture due to the presence of Azelaic Acid, but this is completely normal. Once applied, the serum melts seamlessly into the skin, leaving behind a soft, smooth finish without residue.

Perfect for those looking to address uneven skin tone, dark marks, and dullness, the Alpha Arbutin Serum is a powerful yet gentle addition to any routine. Reveal your brightest, most confident complexion—starting with just a few drops a day.
