ARBUTIN
알부틴
A skin-lightening agent that inhibits melanin production, helping to reduce hyperpigmentation.
Regulatory Info
Can I mix ARBUTIN with other ingredients?
Arbutin with benzoyl peroxide can cause temporary discoloration on some skin tones. Let each product fully absorb before applying the next.
AHAs increase arbutin penetration, which can cause mild irritation on sensitive skin. Use lower concentrations if combining.
Arbutin and niacinamide are a gentle brightening duo. Both target melanin through different pathways and are safe to layer together.
Arbutin + vitamin C target hyperpigmentation from multiple angles without the pH conflicts of hydroquinone. A gentler brightening combo.
General guidance
Arbutin works best paired with daily SPF — UV exposure can trigger re-pigmentation and undo its brightening effects.
