A hydroquinone-free brightening cream with arbutin, vitamin C and lactic acid for pigmentation and uneven tone.

ARBUTIN: A nature-identical melanin inhibitor that reduces pigmentation production in the skin, making it one of the most studied hydroquinone-free brightening actives.

ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C) AND TOCOPHERYL ACETATE (VITAMIN E): An antioxidant pairing that neutralises free radicals, fades existing marks, and maintains the brightening effect over time.

LACTIC ACID: A gentle AHA that exfoliates the skin surface and supports arbutin penetration, improving texture alongside brightening.

TARGETS PIGMENTATION AT THE SOURCE: Arbutin inhibits melanin production rather than just fading surface marks, making it effective for melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
HYDROQUINONE-FREE: Suitable for long-term daily use without the side effects associated with hydroquinone-based treatments.
ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION ALONGSIDE BRIGHTENING: Vitamin C and E neutralise the free radicals that drive pigmentation, adding protective benefit to the corrective effect.
GENTLE SURFACE EXFOLIATION: Lactic acid refines skin texture as the arbutin works on tone, improving overall skin quality with consistent use.

Why It's Phare Approved

Arbutin is one of the most effective hydroquinone-free brightening ingredients available, particularly for pigmentation that doesn't respond to vitamin C alone. It inhibits melanin production at the source, while the ascorbic acid and tocopheryl acetate in this formula add antioxidant support and help fade existing marks. The lactic acid provides gentle surface exfoliation that improves how the arbutin penetrates. I use this in clinic for patients with melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and sun damage who want to avoid hydroquinone or need something that fits alongside prescription treatment.

1. Use morning and evening on cleansed skin, before moisturiser.
2. Apply a small amount to areas of pigmentation or across the full face for uneven tone.
3. Always follow with SPF in the morning. Brightening actives are undone by unprotected sun exposure.

No. Clear FX is the hydroquinone-free version in the Obagi range. The prescription Clear RX formula contains hydroquinone. Clear FX achieves a similar brightening effect with arbutin, vitamin C, and lactic acid.
Yes. Arbutin, ascorbic acid, and lactic acid at cosmetic concentrations are safe during pregnancy. SPF alongside is especially important during pregnancy when hormonal changes can worsen pigmentation.
Expect to see a difference in skin tone and pigmentation after six to eight weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Results compound over months. Stopping SPF or the routine will allow pigmentation to return.
Yes. Apply Clear FX before moisturiser morning and evening. Vitamin C serum can go underneath it in the morning. Retinol at night is fine alongside it. The lactic acid in the formula means you don't need a separate AHA on the same step.
