High-concentration brightening. Three active ingredients. One moisturiser. The TOSOWOONG Arbutin 7% Glutathione Cream is a Korean brightening moisturiser built around two of the most in-demand skin tone ingredients in the skincare market — Arbutin at 70,000ppm and Glutathione at 5,001ppm — combined with Niacinamide to create a triple-action tone-evening cream that addresses pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and dullness simultaneously, in a daily-use moisturiser format.
Arbutin at 70,000ppm is the concentration figure that separates this cream from standard arbutin-containing moisturisers. 70,000ppm represents 7% arbutin by weight — a significantly higher concentration than the 1–2% arbutin found in most brightening creams. Arbutin works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production — slowing the formation of new pigmentation, fading existing dark spots, and helping maintain a more even skin tone over consistent use. At 7%, the arbutin concentration in this cream is meaningful enough to deliver the brightening mechanism at a clinically relevant level rather than as a marketing label on a trace concentration.
Glutathione at 5,001ppm brings the second brightening mechanism — antioxidant-mediated skin tone improvement. Glutathione is the most widely used skin brightening ingredient in dermatology-grade injectable treatments across the Middle East and Southeast Asia, valued for its ability to address melanin pathways through antioxidant activity and its inhibition of pro-melanin processes. In topical form at 5,001ppm, it works synergistically with the arbutin to address pigmentation through a complementary pathway — making the combination more effective than either ingredient used alone.
Niacinamide — one of the most well-researched brightening and skin-barrier ingredients in skincare — completes the triple-active formula. Niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanosomes to skin cells (reducing how much pigment reaches the skin surface), brightens existing dullness, strengthens the skin barrier, and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and redness. Its role in this formulation is both brightening and barrier-supporting — ensuring the cream performs as a genuine moisturiser, not only as an active treatment.
For UAE-based skincare users, the combination of arbutin, glutathione, and niacinamide is particularly relevant. The UAE's intense year-round sun exposure makes pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone among the most common skin concerns in the region — and high-concentration brightening ingredients in a daily-use moisturiser are the most practical format for addressing them without adding steps to the routine.
The cream format is lightweight and moisturising — a daily-use texture that applies without heaviness, sits well under SPF and makeup, and delivers the active ingredients in a format compatible with all skin types including oily and combination skin common in humid climates.
