WHAT THE DERMAT SAYS

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Don't just fade dark spots—target the excess melanin that causes them. /PHD/ Alpha Arbutin + Tyrobright™ Serum doesn’t just reduce pigmentation; it actively works to clear it out. Powered by our patented Tyrobright™ blend with Arisaema Amurense Extract, Niacinamide, and Decyl Glucoside in unique doasages, it targets stubborn pigmentation by breaking down excess melanin at its root. Paired with soothing ingredients like Panthenol and Allantoin, it delivers clearer, more even-toned skin—without the irritation.

Do’s

  • Apply on Clean, Dry Skin – Use after cleansing and before moisturizer for best absorption.
  • Follow with Sunscreen – Alpha Arbutin and Tyrobright can fade existing darks pots protection but you need to protect your skin from further pigmentation. Always wear sunscreen.
  • Store Properly – Keep in a cool, dark place to prevent oxidation. Avoid heat and direct sunlight.
  • Patch Test First – If you have sensitive skin, test a small amount before full application.
  • Be Consistent – Use daily to brighten dull skin and fade dark spots over time.

Don't

  • Don't Skip Sunscreen – Sun exposure can trigger new pigmentation, undoing your serum’s efforts on depigmentation.
  • Don't Mix with Strong Exfoliants – Avoid layering with AHAs, BHAs, or Benzoyl Peroxide, as they may cause irritation.
  • Don't Overapply – A few drops are enough; using more won’t speed up results but may irritate skin.
  • Don't Expect Instant Results – Reducing pigmentation requires consistency—visible improvements may take a few weeks.
  • Don't Apply on Broken Skin – Avoid using on active breakouts, cuts, or abrasions to prevent discomfort.

Got questions?

Great question — but the answer depends entirely on your skin goals.

If your goal is... | Go for

A daily glow, antioxidant protection, and brightening of newer spots | /PHD/ 10% Vitamin C Brightening Serum

Fading stubborn pigmentation like age spots or old acne marks | /PHD/ 2% Alpha Arbutin Depigmentation Serum

/PHD/ Pro Tip: Use both for brighter, clearer skin.

AM: 10% Vitamin C Brightening Serum = Glow + Protection

PM: 2% Alpha Arbutin Depigmentation Serum = Targeted Pigmentation Corrector

Can be used day and night—together, they are a power duo for prevention and correction.

However, if you are new to actives, please start slow.

Alpha Arbutin is generally considered safe and is often preferred over stronger pigmentation-reducing ingredients. That said, every pregnancy is unique, so while it's typically well-tolerated, we recommend checking with your doctor before adding any new active to your routine during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Yes, of course. Pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone affect all skin types—regardless of gender. This serum is lightweight, non-sticky, and designed to suit all skin types, making it perfect for men too.

/PHD/ Council Tip: If your skin is sensitive to Vitamin C, this serum is a great alternative. It targets pigmentation gently—without the tingling or irritation.

Yes, it’s totally normal! This serum may foam slightly because of humectants and mild surfactants like Decyl Glucoside and Saccharide Isomerate. These ingredients help with smooth application and absorption—and can sometimes create a light, temporary lather. Also, if you’ve used a foaming face wash just before applying the serum, that can sometimes cause a bit of leftover sudsing too. Either way, it doesn’t affect the serum’s performance—and is actually a sign of its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture.

We typically recommend Alpha Arbutin-based serums like this one for individuals above 18, especially if you're starting to notice post-inflammatory pigmentation, sun spots, or uneven skin tone. It's a gentle yet effective ingredient that suits most skin types and is safe for long-term use. But remember, pigmentation concerns vary—so if you’re unsure, always check with your dermatologist to personalize your routine.

Yes, a slight change in colour over time can be completely normal, especially for serums that contain active ingredients. Exposure to light, air, or temperature fluctuations can cause natural shifts — but this doesn’t impact the safety or efficacy of the product. At /PHD/, we rigorously stability-test every formulation to ensure it performs as intended, even with these minor changes.

Tried it instead of Vitamin C—happy till now

Vitamin C doesn’t suit my skin, so I was looking for an Alpha Arbutin serum and came across this ad. It’s been gentle so far and feels good on the skin. Too early to see results, but happy with it till now—giving 4 stars.

1 week to fade spots

I am an employee at /PHD/ and when we were launching the products, I personally wanted to test this serum on my skin as I have mild pigmentation spots. Within a week, I saw the marks reduced and after 2 weeks, there was clear difference.

P.S This is an unbiased review and is my personal journey with this product.

Mind-blowing purchase

I started using this serum a few weeks back and already see improvement in my dark spots. It feels light on skin and absorbs fast. My face looks more even now. Best part is it has no smell and suits my combination skin well. Worth buying for regular use

Fabulous!

Nice product for people facing pigmentation issues. I had some acne marks and after using this serum daily they are visibly lighter. It does not irritate my skin and blends nicely. Just apply at night and follow with moisturiser. Also love that it is vegan and chemical free. Good experience overall

Switched from Vitamin C. Happy with the Results

Vitamin C made my skin patchy and sensitive. I switched to this after reading about Alpha Arbutin being safer. It’s been about a month and my pigmentation around the chin has reduced.

Wonderful

Tried many products but this one worked better than expected. It reduced the uneven skin tone and marks without drying out the skin. I like that it is safe for daily use and comes in good packaging. If you have mild pigmentation this is worth trying. Satisfied with the results
