Formerly Brightening Serum. Combating dull, uneven, lackluster skin, this smoothing, brightening serum delivers a radiance boost in just a few drops.

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.

Treats: Diminishes dullness and discoloration from dark spots and hyperpigmentation for an even skin tone.

Key Ingredients:

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

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.
