Brilio.net - Having bright skin and being free from all facial problems is every woman's dream. In fact, quite a few of them want their faces to look youthful as they get older. This desire is also realized through a number of skincare products. It's not surprising that skincare sales among couples are now increasing rapidly.
There are various kinds of skincare products that you can use, ranging from cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers. Skincare products are formulated with various active and natural ingredients. One of them which is now quite popular among Indonesian people is alpha arbutin.
Alpha arbutin is known to be effective in treating hyperpigmentation , black spots and other skin problems without causing serious side effects. Being a derivative of hydroquinone, alpha arbutin is able to brighten the skin. Apart from that, alpha arbutin is considered safer and more effective because it can release hydroquinone gradually so that it does not cause irritation.
Alpha arbutin works by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme which is responsible for melanin production. This process has a positive impact on the skin, such as reducing melanin production. Therefore alpha arbutin helps brighten the overall skin tone.
Apart from that, alpha arbutin can also disguise acne scars or black spots. This is because the brightening properties of alpha arbutin help disguise the scars evenly.
Even the antioxidant content in alpha arbutin can protect the skin from free radicals and UV rays. It's not surprising that alpha arbutin is able to prevent the formation of black spots.
Those are the benefits of alpha arbutin for skin beauty. All the benefits above can see the effect on the skin more quickly if you combine it with other skincare ingredients. Information shared by a doctor, Dr. Anita Ang, AAAM, stated that there are three skincare ingredients that can be combined with alpha arbutin.

So, if you're curious about what skincare ingredients Doctor Anita mentioned, let's look at the information as reported by briliobeauty.net from @dr.antiaang, Friday (24/5).

The first combination of skincare ingredients is alpha arbutin and kojic acid. These two ingredients are able to brighten the face, fade black spots and treat dull skin.
Meanwhile, the benefits of kojic acid in skincare itself are also able to brighten it. Kojic acid is an effective lightening agent. By inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, kojic acid reduces the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. As a result, skin looks brighter and more even.
In addition, kojic acid is effective in fading acne scars which usually leave black or red spots. By reducing melanin production in the area of acne scars, kojic acid helps restore an even, smoother skin tone.
2. Alpha arbutin and vitamin C.

The second combination of skincare ingredients is alpha arbutin and vitamin C. Both combinations of these ingredients are able to brighten the skin. Apart from that, alpha arbutin and vitamin C are also able to ward off free radicals so that skin stays youthful.
Well, the vitamin C content in skincare works by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme which plays a role in melanin production. Believed to reduce melanin production, vitamin C indirectly helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, so the skin looks brighter and radiant.
Not only that, vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights free radicals, molecules that can damage collagen and elastin in the skin, causing fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity. By protecting the skin from free radicals, vitamin C helps reduce signs of aging and keep skin looking youthful for longer.
3. Alpha arbutin + HA (Hyaluronic acid).

Hyaluronic acid has the unique ability to attract and retain up to 1000 times its weight in water. It's not surprising that hyaluronic acid is very effective in hydrating the skin, making it moist, supple and radiant.
