Arbutin: The Science of Skin Brightening

2026-03-06

How It Works

Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. By slowing excess melanin formation, it helps:

  • Fade dark spots and sun damage
  • Even out skin tone
  • Prevent new pigmentation

Unlike hydroquinone, Arbutin is gentle on skin and does not harm melanocytes.
