Mpho Vuyiswa –
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.
Samkeliso –
Working really well so far on black skin. Acne scars fading well.
Abongile –
Great product my dark spots are starting to fade and my face is glowing.
Tahira –
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!!!!
Tahira –
My skin LOVES this product it has really help with the moisture and dark marks from Acne.
jamistorm –
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.
Malina –
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.
Lerato Thobane –
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.
Tatum H –
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!
Ngwako Phala –
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.
chris.m.pillay (verified owner) –
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.
