Many people believe that arbutin cannot be used during the day. So is it true that arbutin cannot be used during the day? Is arbutin harmful? How to use arbutin?

Can arbutin be used during the day?

It depends on the situation. Whether arbutin can be used during the day depends mainly on the concentration of arbutin. When the concentration of arbutin reaches 7%, it will be photosensitizing. Using it during the day will cause the skin to become darker and it is also easy to cause discomfort such as solar dermatitis. Therefore, arbutin can only be used during the day when the concentration is less than 7%.

The harm of arbutin

Generally speaking, there is not much harm if arbutin is used normally. However, many people have sensitive skin and may experience fewer or mild side effects. The more common reactions are itching, redness and swelling of the skin after applying the product. This may be related to your skin's sensitive reaction to this product, or your skin's stratum corneum is weak.

Arbutin Usage

First of all, when using arbutin, you can actually add it to the basic solution, and then massage it with your fingers at night to allow it to be fully absorbed by the skin. Generally speaking, it can be completely absorbed after massaging for about 5 to 10 minutes. Another way to use it is to add it to some skin care lotions, creams, and essences. It can increase the fluidity of the cream, allow the skin to absorb it better, and increase the effect. Because many creams, lotions, and essences have their own effects, adding arbutin will make the effects more diverse.

How to use arbutin

1. Arbutin is recommended to be used around 11 pm to prevent it from producing other substances due to ultraviolet rays. If you use it during the day, choose some low-concentration products and pay attention to sun protection. Don't think that you can just apply arbutin and wait for your skin to become white.

2. The use of arbutin depends on the type of product. If arbutin is contained in lotion, it should be used after facial cleanser. If arbutin is contained in essence, because it is used after lotion, facial cream should be used last. Arbutin itself has no side effects, but if used in excess it can have counterproductive effects, such as causing the skin to turn yellow or dark.

3. Finally, when choosing arbutin, you must choose a good brand, such as Winona, Niu Er, Dee Flan, Snow Perfect, He Xiaotun, Watsons, Beauty Home, Cao Yan Fang and Disney, etc., all of which have the concentration that meets the standards.
