7% Alpha Arbutin for Dark Spot Remover

I was a US-based licensed and working Esthetician for 5 years until I changed careers. I consider myself well-versed in all-things skincare and frankly I'm a skin care junkie. I have some mild yet extremely stubborn pigmentation on the left side of my face near my eye/cheek. I have tried many, many products to help with this pigmentation. I regularly use Korean and US-based clinical skincare. Additionally, I give myself regular mild chemical peels (1 peel every 2-3 months). I took a BIG chance on this product, considering it's $30 for only half an ounce. I also research products diligently before purchase, and there isn't much info out there about this brand or product. I chose to purchase it because it has 7% arbutin and, just as important, tranexamic acid. I've been using this product directly on the pigmentation after my regular steps of cleansing, toning and applying antioxidants ONLY ONCE A DAY for about 7 days so far. I should also add that I did just do a chemical peel about 3 weeks ago and I'm extremely religious about sunscreen every single day (and just staying out of the sun in general). All that being said, I'm genuinely surprised that after about 7 days of use, my pigmentation has truly lightened up. I wish I had taken pictures, but frankly my expectations were very low so I didn't bother. I know a review after only 1 week of use might seem useless...but I'm so impressed with the results so far that I had to review this. The product has an insert that says you will see results in 3 days if used 2x per day. I only used 1x per day and I'm seeing results in a week. I had no problems with delivery or freshness of the product. The product is a clear gel that's actually hydrating and soothing (no stinging alcohol sensation), and it does not cause any skin reactions OR pilling when applied with my other skin care. All in all, I'm very pleased so far and hope to see even more lightening of my pigmentation with time. If I think of it, I'll come back to write an updated review once I've finished the tube.

Used daily for 1 month, saw little results.Price too high for the amount you get.

This product is Alpha Arbutin however the stated percentage is not accurate. This is Alpha Arbutin at a concentration of 2% or fairly stated less than 4%. At this higher tag price it is not worth buying.A higher or 7% concentration of Alpha Arbutin would yield the same results as Hydroquinone 7%, without the damaging effects of recurring or worsening of the pigmentation. These results would be noticeable after two weeks of use and unfortunately that is not the case with this product. I would not recommend buying this product. You would much rather use a high percentage of vitamin C serum or purchase the same low percentage of Alpha Arbutin at a lower price tag.On a personal note, I really dislike to see Amazon allowing sellers to sell products that are not accurate in their description and feed on customer's needs. It seems that skin and dietary supplements are the first targeted when this happens.Thank you for allowing me to voice my review and hope all customers make a smart decision before purchasing this product.

I like how my skin looks like after I started to use it.Its shines.It’s feels a bit sticky, that is why I have it on my face overnight.I will continue to use it to see how it will brighten my pigmentation.

Have been using for about half month and I was amazed! I have never found anything that would fade my sun spots, but this product did. I could tell a difference in only two weeks. My skin is also so much softer to the touch and my moisturizer is going a lot farther too. Will definitely be buying more, especially at that price.

I am still very skeptical... but hopeful about this product. I have been using it on my dark spots(acne) for a little over 2 weeks now and haven't really noticed any change. Am I disappointed - yes, especially since it claims results in 7 days. But may be i just have "difficult" skin so will continue to use and update this review if anything changes even though i have very little confidence at this point

I don't think this is a new product. Worst

This product didn’t not work for me and for the price, this is a scam.
