Though it is a very expensive ingredient to manufacture, even at very low concentrations, a-arbutin has shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The a-glycosidic bond found in Alpha-Arbutin offers higher stability and efficacy than the B form found in the related Beta-Arbutin. This leads to a skin brightening active that acts faster and more efficiently than existing single components.
