ARBUTIN

For anyone suffering from skin discoloration, sun or liver spots, or uneven skin tone, Arbutin is both an efficient and effective solution. Problems with skin color occur from the activation of an enzyme called tyrosinase found in our skin cells. With UV exposure from the sun this inactive enzyme begins to work to produce melanin which generates the color of your skin. Arbutin, a naturally occurring derivative of hydroquinone found in the leaves of cranberry, bearberry, and blueberry shrubs, and most types of pears, works to block tyrosinase before it even gets the chance start melanogenesis. By stopping the process before it even starts, Arbutin proves to be a highly efficient source of skin brightening. While its predecessor hydroquinone has been proved to cause many harmful side effects, Arbutin produces results similar to the compound without posing a threat to the user. It truly balances efficacy with safety! Arbutin is perfect for those looking to even out their skin tone after damage from the sun, waxing, smoking and other harmful environmental influences.
