BABYFACE 100% Pure Bearberry Extract - Natural Arbutin / Hydroquinone for Lightening Bleaching Skin Sun / Age Spots, Freckles, Melasma
Bearberry Leaf extract is a natural skin lightener that works by reducing melanin production. Bearberry leaf extract in this form is not Arbutin or Hydroquinone, but it is the natural source from which the more potent chemicals are made from. Bearberry breaks down into Arbutin, which then breaks down into Hydroquinone when absorbed into the skin. These are known to be quite effective at lightening skin pigment imperfections. Effective for lightening age spots, freckles, sun spots, Melasma, and blotchy skin tone for a more uniform, brighter complexion.Bearberry also increases the cell turnover rate and it is packed with antioxidants. It works to fight free radicals, preventing additional skin conditions.Additional information for those considering using a lightening product for the first time:Skin lightening takes dedication and time, but for those who persist, they will be rewarded with results. For safety reasons and best results, skin lighteners are to be used according to the directions. Using a stronger dose does not always mean a faster result. Physicians who are skilled in skin lightening treatments recommend using a lightening product for at least 8 weeks before abandoning it. This is because depending on what is being treated it can take several weeks to start seeing results. Skin lighteners typically work by inhibiting the production of the melanin. The actives must be able to reach the pigment it is trying to lighten, this is why for stubborn areas (like freckles that may have been there for your entire life) it can take a few months to eliminate it, even longer in some cases. In stubborn cases it is usually necessary to pair the lightener with exfoliation so that the actives can better reach the deeper pigment. Surface pigment is usually eliminated very quickly (newly acquired sun spots for example) but the general rule of thumb is the longer the pigment has been there, the longer it will take to remove it.
