Alpha-Arbutin Cream Review

Published by Kelly Weiren at 8:06 am under Fitness

Alpha- Arbutin is an over-the-counter product and a less expensive alternative to lightening medications such as d-kojic acid and hydroquinone. These medications achieve similar goals of lighter skin colors and unwanted spot reduction. Alpha-Arbutin reduces skin darkening at its source, as the compound inhibits the production of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for the production of melanin (brown pigment) in the body. Normally, the results of Alpha- Arbutin manifest after two or three months of continued use.

Why it is effective

The active ingredient has elements that make it different from prescription skin lightening products. Even if Alpha – Arbutin is treated like a synthetic compound, its sources main components actually include plants like duckweed (a weed from Canada) and bearberry (a bush from mountainous regions of the US and the Northern Hemisphere).

Alpha Arbutin is distinct with its water soluble white powdery feature that can survive pH 3.5 up to 6.5. In tests, a percentage of the solution of Alpha Arbutin added in lotion resulted to quicker lightening and a more even skin tone than when other products are used. The active ingredient works to prevent your body from creating melanin, which results to lighter skin tone.

Commercial products containing Alpha Arbutin are abundant in the market, practically aiming to lighten skin and reduce certain skin impurities such as brown age spots and erythema. These products include creams, serums and lotions in the form of whitening creams, “fade away” creams, body lotions, body bleaching lotions, and other whitening and impurity-reduction products.

Safer than other products

The Alpha-Arbutin compound’s compatibility with other lightening products and their ingredients is no issue, although scientifically speaking, there is really no use combining products that yield the same result at the same time. Some substances in fact, may only cause absorption problems when used together.

Alpha-Arbutin is different from the potentially dangerous hydroquinone by the way its mechanism works. By suppressing the activity of the pigment producing enzyme in the body, Alpha Arbutin eliminates the need of killing the same pigment producing cells, making it a safer alternative to use. Hydroquinone has even been banned in some South African and European countries because of its long term potential harmful effects on the body.
