What is Arbutin?

Arbutin (AA) is a skin care product that’s most often used to reduce uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

It’s most often extracted from the bearberry plant, which is a plant in the genus Arctostaphylos. It contains beneficial compounds that regulate skin’s pigment.

It can also be extracted from certain other plants and fruits, including pears, berries and those in the Ericaceae family, as well as made synthetically in a lab.

You can use AA on its own — plus you’ll find it in some skin care serums, masks and creams.

It works primarily by stopping melanin from concentrating in certain parts of the skin. While we need a certain amount of melanin in our skin, such as to protect against cellular damage from UV light exposure, concentrated melanin formation can contribute to skin issues, such as age spots and scars.

Arbutin Benefits:

TREATS HYPERPIGMENTATION

Arbutin is a cosmeceutical that fades hyperpigmentation meaning it works to fade sun spots, age spots, acne scars, and melasma. Plus, arbutin prevents future freckles and hyperpigmentation from developing, even after a sunburn.

How? Arbutin stops any extra production of melanin (the pigment that creates skin color). Melanin is produced when an enzyme called tyrosinase makes the amino acid tyrosine, and then the tyrosine gets passed off to cells called melanocytes that convert the tyrosine into melanin. Arbutin disrupts this chain of events by telling tyrosinase to pause on the tyrosine production - without tyrosine, melanocytes have nothing to work with which limits the melanin production in your skin. So there you have it: less tyrosine and less melanin means less pigment, less dark spots, and a more even complexion. Splendid.

✓ Brightens Complexion

Arbutin evens and brightens your complexion making your skin look healthier and vibrant. Think of it like the skin care beauty blender - instead of blending out with foundation, arbutin is literally blending out your actual skin. Arbutin reveals your inner beaming, beautiful angel face, and we’re so down with that.

✓ Less Aggressive than Hydroquinone

For more severe hyperpigmentation and melasma, hydroquinone has traditionally been the ingredient of choice due to it's strength, but the hydroquinone often used in skin care products is synthetic, aggressive, and can badly damage the skin if used incorrectly (like permanently damage the skin with blueish/greyish splotches). Arbutin is a much safer, more natural derivative of hydroquinone, and topical treatment of arbutin has been shown to treat melasma as well as severe dark areas. All the power without the bad side effects.
