## Overview

Minimalist 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum is a dermatologist-backed, lightweight depigmentation solution designed to visibly reduce dark spots, acne marks, and tanning. Powered by potent Alpha Arbutin sourced from Royal DSM, it safely inhibits melanin production without irritation. This fragrance-free, hypoallergenic serum absorbs quickly, making it perfect for daily use on all skin types, while its clean formula ensures a pure skincare experience. Ideal for professionals seeking a subtle yet effective glow-up, it pairs seamlessly with sunscreen for enhanced protection and lasting radiance.

## Description

Science behind this product:Alpha Arbutin has a similar structure as tyrosine (a nonessential amino acid that binds with tyrosinase to catalyze melanin synthesis). Due to its perfect affinity for active sites of tyrosinase Alpha Arbutin blocks tyrosine. It is thereby inhibiting melanin production without affecting cell viability, unlike Kojic Acid, which decreases tyrosine production and can be cytotoxic. Alpha Arbutin present in this serum has a very low IC50 value (IC50 is a measure of the potency of the compound in inhibiting a biochemical function. Low value means even less concentration of active is effective and more potent). It is scientifically proven to show effects even at lower concentrations. Also, every Arbutin is not the same. Beta Arbutin, commonly used in Arbutin serums, is cheap and less effective. According to the AAD, when you stop what is causing dark spots and protect your skin from damage by UV rays, then fading is effective and fast. This serum exhibits both antipigmentation and antitanning after UV exposure, resulting in an even bright skin tone. However, it is not meant for use as a fairness treatment or sunblock.

Review: The only serum that finally cleared my red spots! - I have tried so many different serums—even some with the exact same ingredients as this one—but none of them gave me the results that this Minimalist serum has. It did take some time to see the change, but it has been incredibly effective at clearing up my red spots and evening out my skin tone. The value for money is great because a little goes a long way. I apply a few drops every night before bed and wash it off in the morning. It’s a very easy-to-use part of my routine now, and I’ve already repurchased it several times because I don't want to be without it. It has a neutral scent and doesn't irritate my skin at all, which was a huge relief after other brands failed. If you’re looking for a serum that actually delivers on its promises, I’d highly recommend this one!
Review: A keeper - Works. (Slowly if used alone.) I experienced no discomfort using this serum. Dries down and absorbs fast. None sticky as well. Not particularly moisturising imo and you HAVE to wear sunblock/ sunscreen after/ while using this- pointless if you don't since the age spots only return and darker too! Great price and the product lasts well. (I did get the best results ie fastest results after combining this with VitC and Niacinamide twice a day and sunscreen on top during daylight.) Personally i love the fact this serum is odourless and packaged in a dark glass bottle.
