Stemhalo Arbutin Cream | Erase Dark Spots, Even Tone, Gentle Formula For Sensitive Skin

HOW TO APPLY ARBUTIN 7% + TXA 4% DARK SPOT CREAM

STEP 1: Cleanse

Start with freshly cleansed skin, morning and evening

STEP 2: Tone (Optional)

Apply toner or essence if part of your routine

STEP 3: Serum (Optional)

Layer any treatment serums before cream

STEP 4: Apply Cream

Take a pearl-sized amount and warm between fingertips

STEP 5: Focus on Problem Areas

Gently press into skin, concentrating on dark spots, blemishes, and areas of uneven tone — jawline, cheeks, forehead, and under-eyes

STEP 6: Pat to Absorb

Lightly pat until fully absorbed — no rubbing needed. The lightweight formula sinks in fast with zero sticky residue

STEP 7: Follow with SPF (AM Only)

Always protect your skin with sunscreen during the day. UV exposure triggers new pigmentation — SPF locks in your progress

PRO TIP: For maximum dark spot correction, use twice daily (AM/PM) consistently for at least 4–6 weeks. Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

BEST FOR:

Final step of your skincare routine, both morning and night

Arbutin (7% — 70,000 PPM)

The gold standard in melanin suppression. At 7% concentration, Arbutin intercepts pigment production at the source — visibly fading age spots, sun damage, and post-acne marks for a clearer, more even complexion

Tranexamic Acid (4% — 40,000 PPM)

The dermatologist's secret weapon for stubborn discoloration. TXA disrupts the pigmentation pathway triggered by UV exposure and hormonal changes — especially effective for melasma and recurring dark patches that won't budge

Glutathione

The body's master antioxidant. Accelerates spot-fading while defending against new pigmentation from forming. Combined with Arbutin and TXA, it creates a triple-threat formula that attacks discoloration from every angle

Niacinamide

Strengthens the skin barrier while reducing the transfer of melanin to skin cells — improving overall skin clarity, tone, and texture with every application

Centella Asiatica Extract

Time-tested Korean botanical that calms inflammation, supports skin healing, and soothes reactive skin — so you get powerful brightening without irritation

Ceramide NP + Squalane + Sodium Hyaluronate

Deep hydration trio that locks in moisture, repairs the skin barrier, and keeps skin plump and comfortable while the actives do their work

FORMULATED WITHOUT:

Gluten • Artificial Colors • Harsh Irritants

How long until I see results on my dark spots?

Most customers notice visible fading of dark spots and improved skin tone within 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use (AM/PM). For deeper pigmentation like melasma or long-standing sun damage, we recommend continuous use for 8–12 weeks for maximum transformation.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. This cream passed hypoallergenic testing with a 0.0 irritation score. It's dermatologist-tested and formulated with soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Allantoin, and Bisabolol specifically to prevent redness and irritation. However, if you have very sensitive skin, we recommend a patch test before full-face application.

Can I use this with retinol or other active ingredients?

Yes. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula layers well with serums, retinol, vitamin C, and other treatments. Apply Korean Advanced Arbutin Brightening Cream as your final cream step after actives have absorbed. The barrier-strengthening properties actually help support skin during active ingredient use.

How is this different from regular brightening serums?

Most brightening products use token concentrations of actives — just enough to put on the label, not enough to make a real difference. This cream delivers 7% Arbutin (70,000 PPM) and 4% Tranexamic Acid (40,000 PPM) plus Glutathione — clinical-strength concentrations that attack dark spots from multiple pathways simultaneously.

Will this work on all types of dark spots?

Yes. The multi-pathway formula is effective on post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), sun spots, age spots, melasma, freckles, and general uneven skin tone. Arbutin targets melanin production, TXA disrupts the pigmentation cascade, and Glutathione accelerates fading — covering virtually all types of discoloration.

Can I use this morning and night?

Recommended. For optimal results, apply twice daily — once in the morning under SPF and once at night as your final skincare step. The mild, low-irritation formula is safe for continuous AM/PM use on all skin types.

Does it feel heavy or greasy on the skin?

Not at all. Despite being deeply hydrating, this cream has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly with zero sticky or greasy residue. It provides a smooth, refreshing finish that works perfectly under makeup or as your nighttime final step.
