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
