Deoxyarbutin, a compound new skin lightening ingredient, can effectively inhibit tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis to get significant and lasting lightening effects. It is safer, more stable, less cytotoxic, less irritating to skin and better absorbed.
For skin lightening effect, deoxyarbutin is 350 times more effective than arbutin, 150 times more effective than kojic acid, 10 times more effective than hydroquinone.
Most important, 3% deoxyarbutin topical treatment in a human clinical trial resulted in a significant or slight reduction in overall skin lightness.
