Description

Dullness, dark spots, and signs of sun damage are visibly diminished with Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops. Not to be confused with skin lightening, this formulation is hydroquinone-free, leveling-up on alpha arbutin—a natural plant-based alternative, for a gentle yet effective approach to treating pigmentation issues, and restoring radiance. Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, it brightens and evens out skin tone, for a natural, lit-from-within skin luminosity that shines out.

Suitable for all skin types.

Key Benefits:

  • Brightens: Radiance-promoting botanical extracts visibly improve skin's clarity and vitality.
  • Treats: Diminishes dullness and discoloration from dark spots and hyperpigmentation for an even skin tone.
  • Refines: Professional level exfoliation via lactic acid improves skin's texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Ingredients
  • Alpha Arbutin:

    A plant-based alternative to hydroquinone, its pigmentation-fighting properties rebalance skin tone and replenish radiance

  • Lactic Acid:

    A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and natural humectant that exfoliates to improve skin tone, texture, and the appearance of fine lines, leaving skin firmer and brighter

  • Azelaic Acid:

    A natural brightener, this multi-benefit acid clarifies congestion, unclogging pores and refining skin's surface

FAQs
What is hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a darkening of the skin due to over-accumulation or uneven distribution of melanin—a pigment in your skin. Also known as dark spots, age spots, brown spots, sun spots, acne marks, or melasma, hyperpigmentation can be caused by damaging sun exposure, hormones, medications, pregnancy, skin trauma, or injury.

What are the benefits of Alpha Arbutin?

Alpha Arbutin is a plant-based alternative to hydroquinone, its pigmentation-fighting properties rebalance skin tone and replenish radiance.

How often can I use Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops?

For full-strength serum benefits apply 4-6 drops to the face and décolleté up to twice daily, post cleanse.

Do brightening serums lighten skin?

Our Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops contain alpha arbutin—a natural brightening agent found in the bearberry plant, which has similar brightening benefits to hydroquinone but without lightening skin. Known as the natural hydroquinone, it’s a much safer ingredient and is highly effective in improving pigmentation issues and evening out skin tone.

How quickly does brightening serum work?

Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops have been clinically proven to show improved skin clarity after just one week of consistent daily use, visibly brightening skin, and improving radiance and smoothness in 30 days. You can use this brightening serum up to twice daily depending on your skin’s needs.

Is this serum safe during pregnancy?

We recommend consulting with your doctor before using Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops while pregnant.

    Love this product!

    These drops tighten but don’t dry my skin at all, and make it glow!! I alternate the Alpha Arbutin Drops and the Glo Hydra Bright Vitamin C drops for my morning skincare routine. They both nourish and brighten the skin but in different ways, and I love getting the benefits of both.

    Visible difference!

    I love these drops, my skin glow is visible. I alternate these with the Hydra-Bright Vitamin C Drops (every other day), along with Hydra-Bright AHA cleanser and moisturizer. I have seen a reduction in my fine lines and wrinkles, too!
