Not great for my skin.
This was very watery and irritated and then broke me out in little bumps the next day after one use. I have combination skin which is sensitive and my skin reacts within 5 days of introducing new products. I normally use another well known brand but thought I would give this one a go, unfortunately this was not good for my skin and I had to bin the two bottles I'd bought and returned to me other brand - if it ain't broken and all that!

Makes a difference
It's been maybe 2 weeks, and I do see a difference. Skin is smoother after putting it on, and spots are gradually getting lighter. Zero irritation, and I'm someone who's had a lifetime of eczema and rashes. Recommended.

Essential oils present...
I started using this serum hoping to get good results but when I started using this I got small pimples all over my face and neck. I always check the ingredients list before purchasing any skincare products, but no comedogenic ingredient was detected in the ingredients on the website. But to my surprise, on the serum bottle, it said that it contained ESSENTIAL OILS which can clog pores. So if youre acne prone, I would look for other options

Good product
This product is actually helping to fade my melasma. Results do not happen overnight. My skin has gotten brighter. I use this with tranexamic acid serum and niacinamide.

FAQs

2% Alpha Arbutin is proven to be safe, and its safety profile is well established by many studies. Although side effects from Alpha Arbutin are rare, we recommend patch tests before starting it for the first time.
People with compromised skin, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before adding Alpha Arbutin into their routine.
For best results, use sunscreen SPF 30 or above every morning.

Alpha Arbutin can be used by all skin tones as it does not change your skin color but evens out your complexion. It lightens the areas that are darker such as age spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, etc. due to excessive melanin production, resulting in a natural even skin tone.
Alpha Arbutin is an advanced molecule and does not cause cell cytotoxicity; thus it is a safe skin lightening active suitable for all skin tones.

The early-20s is a suitable age for using Alpha Arbutin, as that's when the first signs of age spots & sun damage in the form of pigmentation might start showing.
Alpha Arbutin is a milder alternative to other agents like Kojic Acid (which has high cytotoxicity) and is safe to use. However, people with extra sensitive skin should consult a dermatologist before considering incorporating Alpha Arbutin into their skincare.
Both males and females with skin concerns like blemishes, acne scars, dark spots, and uneven skin tone can benefit from Alpha Arbutin.
