What is Alpha-arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl-D-lucopyranoside)?

No matter your skin type or your age, there’s one complexion annoyance that tends not to discriminate: dark spots. Whether the result of a bit too much time spent in the sun or the unwelcome, lingering reminder of breakouts past, hyperpigmentation can be one of the most difficult skin concerns to correct. It takes time. It takes patience. And it takes the right ingredients. Vitamin C and hydroquinone are most often regarded as the go-to brightening agents in skin-care treatments. But recently, the dermatological world has turned to another dark spot obliterator: Arbutin (also often referred to on ingredient lists as “Alpha-Arbutin”).
