Which Products Have Alpha Arbutin In Them?

Just a few days ago I wrote a concise piece on the skincare ingredient alpha arbutin and since then I have been inundated with requests for the best products that contain this hyperpigmentation-fighting ingredient.

Whilst I haven’t tried many of these (and so can’t give you a personal review) I will endeavour to include those that have a good amount of alpha arbutin in it.

So, in no particular order here are some of the best products on the market that contain alpha arbutin:

Peter Thomas Roth – PRO Strength Niacinamide Discoloration Treatment $88

I have actually tried this one before and I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s refreshing, light, hydrating and most of all brightening. A great way to introduce Alpha Arbutin into your skincare routine.

Paula’s Choice – Radiance Renewal Mask $36/£35

Swissline – Cell Shock Age Intelligence Evenness Booster $95/£84

Formulated with 2% Alpha Arbutin (i.e a high concentration) this is perfect for those of you looking for a very target treatment.
