How does it compare with a vitamin C serum?

Alpha-arbutin blocks melanin formation rather than acting as an antioxidant like vitamin C. It is usually gentler and less likely to sting, but brightening comes on more slowly.

Can I use it with retinol or acids?

Yes. It is a watery hydrating serum with no exfoliating acids, so it layers under or over most actives. Introduce new actives one at a time.

When will I see results on freckles?

Alpha-arbutin works gradually. Expect several weeks of consistent use, and pair it with daily sunscreen or pigment will keep returning.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Buyers with sensitive skin report no irritation. Patch test first if your skin reacts easily, since fragrance tolerance varies.

One 30ml bottle of Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha Arbutin. No other items are included.

Where does it go in a routine?

After cleansing and toner, before moisturizer. In the morning, follow with sunscreen.
