What are the opinions on arbutin acid?

"Alpha-arbutin is a molecule that owes its effectiveness to its high affinity with the active site of tyrosinase, the enzyme that stimulates the synthesis of melanin in the skin. As a reminder, melanin is the pigment responsible for brown coloration; when it is produced in excess in a localized area, it results in pigmentation spots. Thus, alpha-arbutin inhibits the overproduction of melanin and fades existing spots, as well as any potential skin marks left by blemishes. Moreover, this active ingredient possesses antioxidant power that helps the skin defend against the attacks of free radicals, highly reactive molecules that accelerate skin aging."

Pigment spots can have several causes, the most common being UV rays, skin aging, or even a hormonal change.The pigment spot serum from Typology contains 2% alpha-arbutin acid as well as lemon extract, known for its brightening properties. Here are some reviews from our consumers about it:

• Valérie H. (03/29/2021): "After two weeks of use, I notice that the spots from my acne scars are fading, my complexion is significantly more even. I highly recommend this effective product."

• Charlotte G. (02/15/2021): "I've been using it for just over two weeks now. It seems to be working, I even feel like it's preventing new pimples from leaving marks. It's great, but the long-term effects remain to be seen!"

• Laurie B. (05/19/2021): "After a month of use, several spots and scars have disappeared, I am satisfied."

• Régine V. (03/30/2021): "The spots on my face have lightened. And it's been 3 weeks since I started using it."

• Anne F. (02/27/2021): "After 1 month of application on blemish marks, I notice a reduction in these unsightly spots."

Thus, the arbutin acid serum helps to reduce the appearance of brown spots and particularly acne marks. We advise you to apply a few drops morning and evening to your previously cleaned and dried face. Then, gently massage the face and neck using circular motions. Follow this with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. We recommend using this serum daily for a period of at least 6 weeks in order to observe its effects.

Note : This serum can also be applied to other parts of the body, such as the back, which is often affected by acne, or the underarms, which can darken due to repeated shaving.
