What Pores Be Pure Says
Product Description:
Pores Be Pure Matcha Green Tea & Chamomile Face Scrub by Pores is formulated with rich ingredients that gently reduce excess sebum and control acne. Green tea reduces sebum, while chamomile essential oil gently brightens the skin tone. Other natural ingredients like aloe vera extract, peppermint essential oil, and alpha-arbutin assist in removing dirt, dust, and excess oil from clogged pores, stimulate collagen synthesis, and protect the skin from damage caused by pollution and UV rays. Refresh your lackluster, aging, and blemished skin with the antioxidant-rich, gentle, and anti-dullness scrub that supports your skin rejuvenating ritual. It is gentle and can be used to revive dull skin and help improve the skin renewal process. The scrub is infused with the goodness of green tea powder, blended with skin-replenishing provitamin B5 and vitamin E. These actives help to exfoliate dead skin layers, remove impurities, and even out a patchy complexion. Pro-vitamin B5 helps to hydrate, soothe, and regenerate skin. Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, helps to prevent skin damage and enhances the skin's elasticity and ability to retain moisture. The vitamin- and fatty acid-enriched scrub also helps to tone and moisturize skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, refine skin texture, and restore smoothness to the skin. It is ideal for tired, aging, and dull skin. Features: Reduces the appearance of pores and blackheads, Controls excess sebum and acne, Helps control oil, Hydrating, Paraben-free, sulphate-free, SLS-free, and cruelty-free.

Ingredients Details
Alpha-arbutin
Common Name(s): 4-hydroxyphenyl-alpha-d-glucopyranoside
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides potent tyrosinase inhibition with improved stability and tolerability over other arbutin forms.
Why It's Used: Premium arbutin โ alpha configuration provides 10ร greater tyrosinase inhibition than beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration, making alpha-arbutin the most effective arbutin form.
How It Works: Alpha-glucoside linkage provides enhanced metabolic stability vs beta-arbutin (less enzymatic hydrolysis to free hydroquinone in skin). inhibits tyrosinase via competitive substrate inhibition (ic50 ~24ฮผg/ml vs beta-arbutin ~525ฮผg/ml โ 20ร more potent). inhibits dopa oxidase step in melanogenesis.
Typically Found In: Brightening serums,anti-spot products,premium lightening

Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Alpha-arbutin's 10โ20ร greater potency vs beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration arises from the alpha-glycosidic bond geometry โ the alpha configuration positions the hydroquinone aglycone at a specific orientation relative to the glucose that fits the tyrosinase active site copper more precisely than the beta isomer's different spatial arrangement.
