Among the questions that are most often asked to a beauty editor, there is also the question of how remove post acne blemishes. Because let’s face it, who manages not to squeeze that pimple that appears at all ages, and then not to pull the crust repeatedly, to the point of making the skin inflamed to the point of seeing a dark spot appear, a clear reminder of what we shouldn’t have done? Do?

The time has therefore come to be able to provide, once and for all, the answer to the most frequent question in the beauty world and which provides us Chiara Ponzio, Product Education Manager Korff.

condition, the support of an ad hoc dermocosmetic protocol that includes non
only products containing depigmenting active ingredients, but also a valid daily sun protection that allows you to work to prevent the development of new spots.”

Alpha-arbutin is a derivative of Arbutus sp., a plant belonging to the Ericaceae family, very widespread in Japan and the rest of Asia. It is used to combat localized hyperpigmentation, such as age spots and sun exposure spots. Dark spots on the skin are in fact due to an accumulation of melanin, the pigment which, together with beta-carotene and hemoglobin, is responsible for the color of the skin. Melanin is produced by the enzyme tyrosinase. The action of alpha-arbutin is to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme with a consequent depigmenting effect.
