COS DE BAHA ARBUTIN 5%+NIACINAMIDE 5% SERUM 30ML (AN)

COS DE BAHA Arbutin 5% + Niacinamide 5% Serum (30ml)

Product Description:
This potent serum combines two powerhouse ingredients—Arbutin and Niacinamide—to target hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and dullness. Arbutin, a natural derivative of hydroquinone, acts as a skin-brightening agent by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis, and fading dark spots. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) enhances skin barrier function, minimizes enlarged pores, controls oil production, and further brightens the complexion. The synergistic formulation offers a brightening, soothing, and clarifying effect, suitable for all skin types, especially those with pigmentation concerns or dull skin.

Deep Research & Process

Active Ingredients & Their Roles:

• Arbutin (5%): A safe, effective skin-lightening agent that inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin formation, leading to a brighter skin tone and fading hyperpigmentation.
• Niacinamide (5%): A multi-functional vitamin that improves skin elasticity, enhances barrier function, reduces inflammation, minimizes pore appearance, and lightens dark spots.

Formulation & Stability:

• The serum is formulated at a balanced pH (~5-6) to optimize the activity of both active ingredients.
• The formulation is stabilized to prevent oxidation of niacinamide and degradation of arbutin.
• Suitable preservatives are included to maintain shelf life without compromising skin friendliness.

Mechanism of Action:

• Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin synthesis, which diminishes dark spots and overall pigmentation.
• Enhanced Skin Barrier & Brightening: Niacinamide enhances lipid synthesis, strengthening the skin’s barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss, and promoting an even, luminous complexion.
• Pore & Oil Control: Niacinamide also regulates sebum production and minimizes enlarged pores, contributing to smoother skin.

Usage Process:

1. Preparation: Begin with a clean, dry face. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.
2. Application:
   • Dispense 2-3 drops of the serum onto your fingertips.
   • Gently apply evenly across the face, focusing on areas with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or dullness.
3. Absorption: Pat lightly to aid absorption. Allow the serum to fully absorb (~1-2 minutes).
4. Follow-up:
   • Apply a moisturizer to lock in the serum.
   • During the day, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher to protect skin and prevent further pigmentation.
5. Frequency: Use twice daily (morning and evening) for optimal results.
6. Additional Tips:
   • Conduct a patch test before initial use.
   • Consistency is key; visible improvements may take 4-6 weeks.
   • Avoid combining simultaneously with other strong active ingredients like vitamin C or AHA/BHA acids initially to prevent irritation.

Precautions:

• Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Not suitable for use on broken or irritated skin.
