Gentle on skin  : While many skin lightening agents dry out the skin, arbutin counteracts this and therefore has a less irritating effect. Because arbutin's active component is released slowly, it can be less irritating than other skin lightening agents.

Improves uneven skin tone : Because arbutin inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme that contributes to melanin production, it can prevent dark spots or even help fade them, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Safer than hydroquinone : For a time, hydroquinone was a miracle skin-lightening ingredient, until it was declared a carcinogen by the FDA. While hydroquinone works by killing the cells that produce pigmentation and melanin, arbutin inhibits the enzymes that stimulate pigment-producing cells.

Effective in fading scars : Since arbutin has the ability to fade dark spots, it is also effective in fading acne scars that persist long after a pimple has disappeared.

Lightens Skin : As explained above, arbutin prevents the formation of dark spots, providing a lightening effect on the skin. It is really useful in giving us an even skin tone and helping to reduce skin pigmentation.

For all skin types: Arbutin is safe and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.
