11 reviews for 1,75% Alpha Arbutin

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Mpho Vuyiswa – October 22, 2021

    Love this product, its slighty thick, but I kinda figured i would be since it has 3% HA. It hydrating while treating pigmentation would definitely recommend especially if you if you have dry and sensitive skin.

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    Samkeliso – October 22, 2021

    Working really well so far on black skin. Acne scars fading well.

  3. Rated 5 out of 5

    Abongile – November 20, 2021

    Great product my dark spots are starting to fade and my face is glowing.

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    Tahira – November 23, 2021

    Alpha arbutin and the Retinol has helped my skin so much, less breakouts and also leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated at all time!!!!

  5. Rated 5 out of 5

    Tahira – November 23, 2021

    My skin LOVES this product it has really help with the moisture and dark marks from Acne.

  6. Rated 4 out of 5

    jamistorm – January 3, 2022

    I really love this product but I’m not a fan of the quality of the suction dropper it doesn’t suck up much product and because it’s a little thick it sits on the dropper and most of the product is sitting around the lid as you try to close it when you are done using it.

  7. Rated 4 out of 5

    Malina – January 28, 2022

    My skin isn’t a fan of Niacinamide, which this product has, so I had to use it every other day rather than daily. I love the thick formula because I can control how much I want to use at a time. It has worked well for my skin, albeit in fewer applications, and leaves it plump and brighter.

  8. Rated 4 out of 5

    Lerato Thobane – February 17, 2022

    I love how plump and hydrated my skin is since I started using this 1,75% Alpha Arbutin serum. My dark marks are fading away. The only thing I don’t like suction dropper, I feel like this serum needs another package as the dropper doesn’t suck much product and a lot of product is wasted at the lid/opening.

  9. Rated 5 out of 5

    Tatum H – April 9, 2022

    I absolutely love this product so much! It’s so hydrating and they way it has helped my pigmentation issues is amazing! Definitely a must have!

  10. Rated 5 out of 5

    Ngwako Phala – May 2, 2022

    Within two weeks consistency of applying Alpha arbutin serum daily in the Am, my skin has drastically changed. I no longer have sunburn marks no more. I recommend this to anyone with pigmentated skin and uneven skin tone.

  11. Rated 5 out of 5

    chris.m.pillay (verified owner) – June 28, 2022

    This Alpha Arbutin serums is one of the best I’ve tried, it’s gentle on the skin yet very effective. I have repurchased several times.
