Frequently asked questions

Alpha Arbutin vs Niacinamide — which is better for dark spots?
Alpha arbutin targets pigment directly; niacinamide works on oil and overall tone. They can be layered — arbutin first.

Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes. Use vitamin C in the morning and alpha arbutin at night, or layer arbutin after a low-strength vitamin C.

How long until I see results?
Most people notice lighter marks in 4–8 weeks of twice-daily use with sunscreen.
