Arbutin: Arbutin is a naturally occurring plant derived compound found in the dried leaves of a number of different plant species including, bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), blueberry, cranberry, and pear trees. Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase activity competitively and depigmentation is achieved via an increase in intracellular cAMP levels. In addition to its use as a skin lightener, arbutin is also used as an agent to treat freckles, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
