Arbutin is a naturally derived compound found in plants like bearberry, pear, and blueberry. Loved in Korean skincare, it’s a gentle yet effective skin-brightening ingredient that targets uneven skin tone and pigmentation, without irritation.

What Does Arbutin Do for Your Skin?

Arbutin works by inhibiting melanin production, the pigment responsible for dark spots. It’s often seen as a safer, more stable alternative to hydroquinone, offering visible results with a softer touch.

Key Benefits of Arbutin:

Fades hyperpigmentation – including sunspots, acne marks, and melasma

Brightens and evens out the overall skin tone

Gentle on sensitive skin – ideal for daily use

Prevents future pigmentation by reducing melanin formation

Works well with other actives like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid

Whether you’re battling stubborn dark spots or simply aiming for a radiant, even complexion, Arbutin is a must-have in your routine.
