Alpha Arbutin

Alpha Arbutin is similar to beta-arbutin, which can inhibit the production and deposition of melanin, and remove stains and freckles. Studies have shown that α-arbutin can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase at relatively low concentrations, and its inhibitory effect on tyrosinase is better than β-arbutin.
