Alpha-Arbutin
What It Does
An ingredient found naturally in plants including the leaves of pear trees, wheat, and bearberry. Arbutin naturally brightens skin, fades dark spots, and evens skin tone.
Why It Works
Arbutin functions as tyrosine inhibitors that block the formation of melanin activity in the skin. Meaning, it prevents the formation of new dark spots from unprotected sun exposure.
