In this post, I will be talking about The Derma Co Alpha Arbutin Serum. The main USP of this product is Alpha Arbutin which is known to be effective on dark spots & pigmentation. Post delivery my skin has become dull & pigmented. So, I was looking for something which can provide solution for the same. Derma Co is a new brand for me & came to know about it from Amazon. A lot of positive reviews by customers made me buy this product. I got this serum from this website when it was available in the “deal of the day”. “Deal of the day” provides you an opportunity to buy a product at a heavy discounted rate. My expectation was damn high from this product. It worked for me or not, to know this please scroll down and read my complete review 🙂

Packaging: This serum comes in a white colored bottle with a dropper. The bottle is opaque & gives you illusion that it is made up of plastic but it is a glass bottle. All the product related details are provided on the bottle, the additional cardboard box also contains the full details. The dropper is provided separately in its outer cardboard box. Dropper makes the usage of serum convenient and easy. Since the bottle is opaque, it protects the active ingredient from oxidation. Overall the packaging is sturdy, spill-proof and travel friendly. But do keep it away from the reach of your child 🙂
My opinion about the product: The serum is transparent is nature and its texture is neither thick nor too runny. It claims to be suitable to all skin types, I have an oily skin and it worked for me. The formulation never caused any redness, irritation, bumps, or clogged pores. But you should go for a patch test before using this product. It glides smoothly and takes a very short period of time to sink into the skin. The hydration ability of this serum is just wow, it keeps your skin moisturized for good 7-8 hours. The fragrance of this serum is hard to define, it is not that strong.
I am using it twice in a day, in morning after bath & in night before going to the bed. I am using it from last two months and my skin has become more smooth & soft. But when it comes about pigmentation this product failed. No visible signs of reduction of dark spots and pigmentation in my case. So the purpose for which I invested my money on this serum didn’t fulfilled. I am really disappointed as I had a great expectation from this serum. Good thing is that it is free from parabens and silicones and also it is dermatologically tested.
If you are looking for a serum with good moisturization power then you should definitely go for it. But if the purpose is to get a spot free skin then this serum is not that effective.
Please note: Before trying a new product do not forget to go for a patch test. But do remember a patch test is only for determining early irritation reactions to product(s) and does not promise similar results when applied to other area(s) of the body, including the face or after regular use. A patch test does not account for any underlying conditions and should not be used for the diagnosis of hypersensitivity or allergic contact dermatitis.
