Description
The Cos De BAHA Arbutin 5% + Niacinamide 5% Serum (AN) is designed for those struggling with dark spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone but are concerned about the side effects of traditional whitening agents like hydroquinone. This serum harnesses the power of arbutin, a safe, plant-derived compound, combined with niacinamide, one of the most effective skin-brightening and barrier-strengthening ingredients in skincare. Together, they provide a safe yet powerful solution for clearer, brighter, and more even-looking skin.
Arbutin is known as a natural alternative to hydroquinone. While hydroquinone may cause irritation and potential long-term risks, arbutin delivers the same brightening benefits without side effects. At a 5% concentration, arbutin effectively reduces melanin production, targeting dark patches, sunspots, and post-acne scars. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for pigmentation, gradually fading discoloration for a radiant complexion.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) complements arbutin by working on multiple levels. At 5%, niacinamide helps reduce redness, minimize pores, and strengthen the skin barrier. It balances sebum production, making it excellent for oily and acne-prone skin, while also calming sensitive and irritated areas. Moreover, niacinamide enhances the penetration and effectiveness of arbutin, creating a synergistic effect that maximizes brightening results.
This serum doesn’t just fade dark spots—it also improves overall skin health. Its lightweight, non-sticky texture absorbs quickly, making it ideal for daily use under moisturizer and sunscreen. With consistent application, users will notice a gradual improvement in skin clarity, brightness, and smoothness.
