Advice on Using Alpha Arbutin

Hello. I understand your concerns regarding the use of Alpha Arbutin. Based on the information you provided and the response from the expert (C7), there are several points to clarify.

• Time to See Results: Using Alpha Arbutin for only 4 days is too short to see significant results. Arbutin compounds, including Alpha Arbutin, generally require at least 1 month of consistent use to start showing noticeable changes.
• Concentration of Use: Mixing 1 gram of Alpha Arbutin with 30 ml of water results in a very high concentration (approximately 3.3%), which exceeds the general recommendation of not more than 2% as stipulated by regulatory bodies like the FDA. Using concentrations that are too high does not necessarily lead to faster results and can increase the risk of irritation or other side effects. It is best to use according to recommended ratios for safety and optimal effectiveness.
• Difference Between Alpha and Beta Arbutin: The significantly lower price of the Alpha Arbutin you purchased compared to the general market price might indicate that the product you are using is not genuine Alpha Arbutin, but could potentially be Beta Arbutin. Beta Arbutin is significantly less effective than Alpha Arbutin and is considerably cheaper. The only way to confirm this is through laboratory testing.
• Product Source: To ensure the quality and purity of the active ingredient, it is recommended to purchase from reliable sources.
