This make so much sense! Retinols & hydroquinone are too harsh on my skin and cause more damage. But I’ve been using a kojic acid cleanser + arbutin + tranexamic acid which is much more gentle and effective.

Can you share the name and where you buy this soap? I've been looking for something like this.
My goodness you are a wealth of information. Loving all your videos, I learn a lot! You’re great.
Im fairly sure at this point, my spots wont fade without dermatological intervention. BUT, I'm very happy I use Alpha Arbutin and a good Vit C serum under spf, and I'm in a good place with my skintone. No new spots, and I'm quite outdoorsy, so that's a huge win! And i stopped the hyperpigmentation process in time on my hands so there are spots but only very faintly in one little area. I also use my serums on my hands and carry spf 50 instead of hand lotion all year (that dollar tree sun basics spf is fantastic, i bought a year's worth last summer, and you def do sun protection differently when it's that affordable, also is a delightful formula). Random reapplication, whenever i think of it, on the hands seems to work pretty well.

Hello Dr Dray! Thank you for covering products over a wide variety, even the lesser-known ones such as Volufiline. You're videos have really helped me clear my skin, and I owe it mostly to you and a bit of my own research :) I don't live in the best area so dermatologists out here are not that great, but you giving us all this information for free is such a blessing and I really appreciate it!
My face popped an age spot at 33. I didn’t know how to treat it. By luck, I found a new foundation- the Missha Perfect Cover. It faded the spot and kept it faded for years. Any time I’d switch products, the spot would come back up. Turns out it’s packed with arbutin!

I just found it interesting that one of the top skin care mistakes that Dr. Arampatzis identified was over-moisturizing. He also said it causes your body to produce less moisture on its own… Is that really a thing?
Thank you again Dr. Dray. I really appreciate the background information first. I have used Beauty of Joseon alpha arbutin and enjoyed it. I now use Tropicals Faded cream that seems to have everything under the sun in it lol It's been great on my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my face, but hasn't done much for my knees or underarms. Is there anything to help with those areas?
Dr. Dray thank you so much for explaining hyperpigmentation in the dermis. You are so knowledgeable and I appreciate you so much! Are there treatments that address hyperpigmentation in the dermis?
Why the serum is so green? Arbutin is in powder form and is odorless and colorless. I liked your description on arbutin comparison to hydroquinone. Great explanation. Arbutin for most people is non-irritating. It’s better to be included in anti-aging cream along with other active ingredients and used at night. Hydroquinone is a famous ingredient as Michael Jackson also used. And both of them have been around for decades. Certain herbs like heath is high in arbutin and it can be derived naturally.

As always so informative and evidence-proven, I hugely appreciate the work that you do and all the honest and helpful insights that you share, thank you so much for your work, please keep on doing this❤ Merry Christmas and best wishes from Germany
It really is a wonderful ingredient nonetheless both with benefits and risks of course as with everything that there is out there 😅😊❤. Formulation is the grand key because the ingredient list is like a chain each link is connected to another and goes on till the overall synergy delivers the benefit/results it boasts itself it does😊. Another is the situation if we are in a flare then it's a no-no until the flare inflammation is completely under control. Thanks for the ingredient info Doctor and the info about the condition of hyper pigmentation and the ingredients treating slightly 😊❤.
I tried arbutin several years ago but didn't see any significant difference. I did use it for several months so I felt like it was enough time for me to see something. Thanks for the info, Dr Dray. Happy Wednesday!! Hope you have a blessed evening. 💟

Happy Wednesday Dr Dray! ❤
Hello Dr. Dray, Thank you for sharing this valuable information, very helpful. I'm dealing with pigmentation from acne, and Maelove is quite expensive in my country. Could you recommend any alternative products for pigmentation that are more budget-friendly (same with Maelove formulation)? Additionally, I'm interested in your insights on Eucerin Dual Serum, Eucerin Anti-Pigment Skin Perfecting Serum, and EUCERIN DermoPurifyer Post-Acne Marks Protection. If possible, could you consider making a video reviewing these products? Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
I decided to break up with all my lotions, potions, and creams! With the $$$ I saved, I had a laser procedure at my derm's office. When my face finished peeling, it had gotten rid of my dark spots. One week down time. Cost about $1200.

@SS-dd7ck The dual fraxel laser uses two lasers, the 1927 and the 1550. It targets two kinds of dark spots: brown age spots and the red scaly spots known as Actinic Keratosis. Dual fraxel is expensive but it actually works! My skin has not been this clear since I was 30.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation. I ordered the fade away serum to try. I didn’t realize that benefits would last after stopping the serum.

Beauty of Josen has arbutin serum that i really love. I use it before Neutrogena wrinkle repair at night and i have seen my fresh acne acars going away faster. I dont get a lot of acnce but a couple a month that leave their mark.
wow, this was amazing
I use sunscreen consistently just on face with other sun protection measures but still my whole face is way more dark than my neck and overall body tone 😢 i do have hyperpigmentation redness acne scarring on cheeks but still its overall dull and dark
Thank you, will try the product.
I love the material you put out everyday but this one today is among my favorites. I am using this ingredient from the Ordinary in combination with 2 other suitable serums mentioned by you. It has been too soon to know if it will be effective and I for some reason don’t put a lot of faith in the Ordinary. Will be trying your recommended product soon.
