In its beta form (the classic natural form), it slowly releases hydroquinone through enzymatic hydrolysis in the skin. This controlled release inhibits tyrosinase and gradually reduces melanin synthesis, with a significantly more favorable irritation profile than free hydroquinone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCos De Baha's AN Serum is an introductory depigmenting serum: beta-arbutin and niacinamide work synergistically to address light spots, dull complexions, and progressive irregularities. Beta-arbutin, confirmed on the physical packaging (\"Beta Arbutin\"), is in third position in the INCI - functional concentration. Niacinamide in position 4 completes the action by blocking the transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (licorice) provides a soothing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply 1 to 2 drops to the face and neck morning and evening, after cleansing and toning, before moisturizing cream. This serum is the recommended entry point for cosmetic depigmentation: less concentrated than tranexamic acid serums (TN 5%, TT 10%), it is suitable for skin starting a brightening routine or seeking gentle maintenance between active treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula contains no exfoliating acids, no retinol, no fragrance. No direct photosensitization is expected. SPF 50+ sun protection every morning is recommended throughout the duration of use – without SPF, UV rays reactivate melanogenesis and neutralize the depigmenting action. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: not recommended as a precaution (arbutin being a hydroquinone precursor), prefer azelaic acid (Serum A5) during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a routine, this serum is integrated at the serum step, either alone or in combination with a hydrating serum (pure HA) applied beforehand. For individuals requiring a more pronounced depigmenting action after 8 to 12 weeks, it can precede an escalation to TN or TT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cos De Baha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53898327982417,"sku":"PD-0470","price":12.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/7094\/1009\/files\/cos-de-baha-an-serum-arbutine-niacinamide-pd-0470-1-hd.jpg?v=1788396155","url":"https:\/\/paradermia.com\/en\/products\/cos-de-baha-an-serum-arbutine-niacinamide-pd-0470","provider":"Paradermia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
