Skinlex has a 2% Alpha Arbutin serum that layers pretty well, but the shop has a USD15 flat rate (fast) shipping so it might not be worth it if you're only buying a single item. Another dupe with 2% AA would probably be Sidmool Alpha Whitening Ampoule from ebay, I've never tried this so I can't say much but seems to be getting good reviews all One pump is not enough for me, and two is too much, so I usually use 2 but spread it on my neck too. A Deciem Ambassador recommended me to apply it only 4 times a week in the PM, avoid eye area. Always apply sunscreen all year round. I'm doing well applying Ascorbic acid + AA every other day. It’s best to use Vitamin C in the morning and it works really well together with Alpha Arbutin to fade hyperpigmentation.

Both Alpha Arbutin and Vitamin C have been found to effectively brighten the skin by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone. However, Alpha Arbutin is particularly effective in reducing hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, while Vitamin C is known for its alpha arbutin would be better than niacinamide in this case. but i would honestly just recommend a high quality vitamin c serum and daily spf use for hyperpigmentation:) Reply reply twifril .
