Hyperpigmentation tends to come back often and it's important to keep using it at least once a day not stop using it when you think you resolves the issue. Hyperpigmentation can be really deep in the skin and what tends to happen is the discoloration on the surface of the skin might look better but any sun exposure even a few minutes brings it right back. So keep using it and use sunscreen no matter the weather
I swear 90% of the questions in the comments can be answered by JUST WATCHING THE DAMN VIDEO. I just ordered this and I’m so excited to add it to my AM routine. Your skin is so beautiful!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this product. I was really unsure of if I should give it a try, but now that I`ve seen this video, I probably will. Lots of love and support
My thoughts on spots/blemishes. They are all part of our character makeup so I wouldn't worry about them, you are very pretty so nobody really cares if you have a pimple and most people wouldn't even notice.
I'm so glad I watched your review! I'm mainly looking for a product to lighten my freckles/sunspots and was about to buy this product. I'm trying to appreciate them more, please share ifyou find a product that does work. The search continues!!
hey! just a question, do you have to apply the serum to your entire face or just the areas you want to target? & can you moisturise straight after using it?
Hi thankyou so much u have well explained but I am confused at night time after applying do I use any moisturizer cream because I feel my face so tight without moisture. It’s been two months I use this same alpha arbutin 2% there is no any changes in my face. Please can u tell me
Does it lighten natural sun tan? My skin, mainly under my eyes near my cheeks, has gone darker compared to the rest of my skin due to sun exposure, will this help with that?
Hannah xo it’s not recommended to use it under your eyes. You would be better to use a factor 50 SPF every single day, winter & summer, on your face & below your eyes. This will stop your skin producing melanin which causes your skin to darken. Best of luck
My forehead tans more than the rest of my face and it didn't work to lighten that area. I agree with Kate Fogarty to use SPF to protect your skin and wait for it to even out eventually. That's what I would do.
Hello i am on day 15 on alpha arbutin but i didnt see any improvement i have alot of pigmentation how long does it work plz reply i am very sad about this product
I've got freckles and dark pots just same like you for over years and I just purchased this for few days back, hoping it ll help me out. Come up with hearing your review that this is only work for hyperpigmention make me down a little. But anyway i make a try combined with Timeless Vitamin C and let see how its. Thanks for your review after all. If someone has any recommend how to deal with my concern, pls share. 🙏
Natalie Wawow Yes! The directions say to use sun protection during the day. Any lightening product needs to be used with SPF because you risk sun damage.
Hi can you use arbutin products long term indefinitely to maintain hyperpigmentation or do you have to have rest breaks like you need rest breaks when using hydroquinone? I’m Asking as arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone
Arbutin has been considered safer than hydroquinone. Based on that information, I don't see an issue with using it long-term and I haven't read anything about taking breaks from using it. For me, I would've continued using it until my hyperpigmentation faded which it did with the one bottle I finished. I will most likely purchase it again to combat the same issue.
Susan Lee even if it fades you still need to use it to maintain the hyperpigmentation, stopping it will give you rebound hyperpigmentation as you won’t be inhibiting the melanin
What did you mean by “hyperpigmentation”? I’m confused. What did it help you with if it didn’t fade out freckles and sunspots? Here is the definition of hyperpigmentation on government website. A common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin are darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when special cells in the skin make too much of the pigment called melanin. Hyperpigmentation may appear as freckles, age spots, or larger areas of darkened skin.
@@橙子-p5r thank you. That is the plan. 😜 I already bought the serum so I’m going to have to see what it can do to my skin. One of my friends said it had significantly lightened her Melasma tho. Hopefully I get lucked out with this product too LOL
Kahina Bouhraoua According to the brand's website, the recommended regimen for pigmentation issues is to apply the niacinamide + zinc product after the alpha arbutin + HA product
I have been using this product over a year now. As per my skin I apply niacinamide zinc serum before alpha arbutin and it works well for me. Firstly I applied alpha arbutin before the niacinamide zinc and I had collaged pores issue .
Abigail Kennedy Hyy! I used it daily only in the AM with an SPF moisturizer per the directions. I didn’t use it in the PM because I don’t have a nighttime skincare regimen yet.
Yeah, the results were very subtle. I was disappointed yet pleasantly surprised when I noticed that only my acne spots were lighter. I used to have to conceal them every time and it would take months and months to heal. I think I'll need something stronger for my dark spots unfortunately.
Mic Derin It may depend on your skin type. I have combination skin and have dry patches so I needed to use moisturizer on top of the serum. The serum is lighter and thinner so my skin would absorb it. If you use moisturizer already, the serum isn’t meant to replace that in your skincare regimen. It’s to address any of your skin concerns like in my case, acne scarring. I think I’ve read that moisturizer helps “lock in” serum on your skin 😃
I purchased the product in June 2019 and finished it in December 2019. I was on/off with using it consistently but still finished the entire bottle. I think time along with the product helped fade my hyperpigmentation.
@@SusanLees mine is too😂😂😂 so now I know arbutin won't work on my forehead😂 😂😂 m using it for a month, n has worked on hyperpigmentation on my cheeks though
rachana rai I was just thinking the same thing! The search continues for the best lightening product! 💁🏻♀️ Glad it's working for your hyperpigmentation!

Your freckles are sooooo cute and pretty
Honestly, your freckles look really cute. I only notice them in the close-up, though, people probably don't even see them from a normal distance!
Thank you! I was just surprised by them because I used to not have freckles at all! But I am learning to embrace them 😊

do you think this would be good for under eye pigmentation
hey! just a question, do you have to apply the serum to your entire face or just the areas you want to target? & can you moisturise straight after using it?
Roya F I applied it on my entire face so it would be even and then I would apply SPF moisturizer on top of it.
Aren't dark spots hyperpigmentation?
Dark spots is not hyperpigmentation? Now I’m confused??
Great review, I just started using it 😃
How many months we need to use this serum
Is it helpful for face lightening?

Is this gonna work with the green shadow that happens on the upper lip as a result of waxing
purplelily I don't have experience with this issue however the product did help reduce the hyperpigmentation from my acne scarring
This is exactly what I'm looking for! I have a really dark green shadow all around my mouth!! Let me know if you found anything!
I suffer from the same...

Susan Lee thank you, will defo Bare this in mind😘
i love how u said "that is my review, thats it" LMAO. i was like this desreves the 1000th like
Mam will it clear uneven skin tone problem for face permanently
You need to use Albutin at night, and you must use spf 50 in the morning.
does it actually have to be spf 50 or can it be 30?
How long should I use it for me to see results?
@@brianatorres4189 You can use either of the SPF.
Like when your recommendation compendious.
I learned a new word! Thank you!
Looks like a good product!

How long does it takes before you see results?

Does it help to remove ance spots and scars?
Sara 241 yes
Sara 241 it is made specially for that purpose and to bring glow and get brighter skin
Sara 241 It helped remove my hyperpigmented acne scarring. That's with the product and over time.
Susan Lee is it okay for sensitive skin? 🥺
Susan Lee how long did it take
is it ok for sensitive skin?
Thank you for the review
Maybe you got it through sun exposure? Or you don’t use sunblock regularly..
I wear SPF daily but I guess the Hawaii sun is just stronger 🤷🏻♀️
Does it help with white spots ?
Do you remove that with water after it’s dry in the face ?
Lol at the end
Can i use laneige water sleeping mask after i apply alpha arbutin? And which one first between this alpha arbutin and moisturizer/gel cream?
I don't have experience using that particular product however I would apply the alpha arbutin first and then my moisturizer.
U used it twice a day?
Hi I'm a 18 year old...can I use alpha arbutin?
Yes I’m 14 and use it as well as a spot treatment.
love the ending HAHAHAH
can i use this with TO lactic acid?
Susan Lee can I use arbutin for pigmentation..is it work?
It worked for me!
So pretty 😍
are you meant to put on the serum and put on moisturiser/makeup directly on top? Or do you have to wash it off first?
princess Yes, apply serum then you can layer on moisturizer and make-up
best of luck dear,,your video is short and good
You're so beautiful 🤗love the video too thanks!
Thank you so much! 💛
can you use it with niacinamide?
Yes!
It’s not recommended
Plz dear we use it after apply gylcolicacid i have it alph arbutin and gylcolicacid the ordinerry
I don't have experience using the Glycolic Acid product but personally, I would use products one at a time just to see what is actually working.
Do you have to use a moisturizer with spf ont top of the serum or can I just use it with an oil-free moisturizer?
Natalie Wawow Yes! The directions say to use sun protection during the day. Any lightening product needs to be used with SPF because you risk sun damage.
You are gorgeous and your skin is beautiful
DeltaChi16 Thank you very much! 💖
your freckles are perfect freckles lol if you're going to have freckles that's how.

I totally agree. Definitely a missed opportunity!
Will it fade my freckles cause I want my freckles
It did not fade my freckles.

A common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin are darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when special cells in the skin make too much of the pigment called melanin. Hyperpigmentation may appear as freckles, age spots, or larger areas of darkened skin.
like acne scars, when the acne fades away there are dark spots left behind and those are commonly called hyperpigmentation
@@橙子-p5r aaaaa I see. Thank you for clarifying that. Bummer that it didn't help you with freckles and sunspots because I bought it to get rid of them😩
@@lucylee198 np, and I think you could use them for that. They are all just hyperpigmentation in the end anyways. Idk though
@@橙子-p5r thank you. That is the plan. 😜 I already bought the serum so I’m going to have to see what it can do to my skin. One of my friends said it had significantly lightened her Melasma tho. Hopefully I get lucked out with this product too LOL
mine oxidised :// does it happen to you too?
Plz we use it before niacinamide ? Or after niacinamide ?

@@prabjot2832 I've currently started to do this for my acne scars, do u think it will help?
Has anyone found arbutin in higher concentrations? Let me know.
Hey, I’m pretty sure that AA 2% is the highest concentration available. At least it is where I live.
I think you should see a dermatologist because those freckles are not freckles but Melasma you should check it out
Hyy...is it ok to use this product daily? Or just once in a week?
Abigail Kennedy Hyy! I used it daily only in the AM with an SPF moisturizer per the directions. I didn’t use it in the PM because I don’t have a nighttime skincare regimen yet.
I am using this product I didn't feel any diff unfortunately
Yeah, the results were very subtle. I was disappointed yet pleasantly surprised when I noticed that only my acne spots were lighter. I used to have to conceal them every time and it would take months and months to heal. I think I'll need something stronger for my dark spots unfortunately.
Honest review👏💕
When do we should apply?
morning and night before heading to bed

Can you use the serum as a moisturiser alone
Mic Derin It may depend on your skin type. I have combination skin and have dry patches so I needed to use moisturizer on top of the serum.

It’s to address any of your skin concerns like in my case, acne scarring. I think I’ve read that moisturizer helps “lock in” serum on your skin 😃
Susan Lee what’s the best moisturiser to use to also help tackle hyperpigmentation?
Mic Derin I'm still trying to figure it out! Currently, still using Supergoop SPF moisturizer
Do you apply spf after applying serum
Yes! The directions say to use sun protection during the day. Any lightening product needs to be used with SPF because you risk sun damage.
How long did it take to get rid of it?
I purchased the product in June 2019 and finished it in December 2019. I was on/off with using it consistently but still finished the entire bottle. I think time along with the product helped fade my hyperpigmentation.
Can i mix alpha arbutin and vit c? Tell me pls
