Keep scrolling for before and after shots of my skin.But before we drive into that, let’s know about Alpha arbutin and it’s benefits to the skin. I make sure to apply my serums directly after I pat in the essence, when my skin is still damp. It fits right between the Cleanse or Tone step (If I am using an AHA toner at night I will apply the essence after) and before Serum(s). I will pour about 3 shakes of product into my palm, spread it evenly between both palms and then simply press it into the skin. Not as thin as water but not as thick as a serum. The texture of this feels like a slippery, silky watery serum. I already know that this essence will be a holy grail and has its own special place in my routine.
Literally the missing link to a more even skin tone. By the end of the 2 weeks, I noticed that acne scars I had before using this product, were barely there, if not gone completely. This essence and ingredient is just want my skincare routine needed. Even with Retinol, Vitamin C, and AHAs/BHAs in my routine, it usually takes a while for pigmentation to fade. No matter how gentle I am when dealing with breakouts, I always have scaring left behind. Post acne hyperpigmentation is basically impossible for me to avoid. I still used my AHAs, BHAs, Retinol and Vitamin C and my skin only got better.
Nothing about my skincare routine had to change when incorporating this essence into my AM + PM skincare rituals. It’s a great way to get an extra brightening boost from your skincare (which I need).
But with this, its working double time to help the following products absorb better and brighten my complexion.

I found this article to be helpful in explaining more info on Alpha Arbutin. Then I received this essence and had to find out more. ( I will be sharing the experience of the peel soon) The peel actually had Arbutin in it and that was the first time I had even heard about this special ingredient. Right before receiving this product I had a TCA peel done with my esthetician. I have to say before a couple of weeks ago I never heard of Alpha Arbutin.
