CLEAR GLOW TONER with Niacinamide (1%) & Alpha Arbutin (1%)

Alpha-Arbutin at 1 percent works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for excess melanin production, which is the root cause of dark spots and uneven tone. Since this is a leave on toner, it gets consistent contact time with the skin twice a day, which supports its use as a toner for pigmentation and dark spots rather than just a prep step.

Apply it after cleansing and before serums or moisturizer, using a cotton pad or patting it in with clean hands. Toners are meant to prep the skin so the products that follow absorb more evenly, and using it twice daily gives the Alpha-Arbutin consistent exposure to the skin.

Yes, Alpha-Arbutin is considered one of the gentler brightening ingredients compared to stronger agents, and Provitamin B5 is included specifically to soothe the skin. Sensitive skin should still patch test first and introduce it every other day for the first week before moving to twice daily use.

Yes, Alpha-Arbutin and Niacinamide do not conflict with Vitamin C, so applying this toner first and a Vitamin C serum afterward is a common way to build a more complete pigmentation focused routine rather than relying on one product alone.

Early improvements in tone and glow are often visible within 2 to 3 weeks. More noticeable fading of stubborn pigmentation typically takes 6 to 8 weeks of consistent twice daily use, especially when paired with daily sunscreen to prevent new dark spots from forming.
