Key actives
Arbutinactive
Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named sixth.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it seventeenth on this lotion's list, beside Arbutin.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. It is named forty-third on this lotion's list, alongside Arbutin.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. The panel names it nineteenth on this lotion's list, beside Arbutin.
Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extractplant extract
Cassia cinnamon bark extract, a traditional herbal ingredient carrying cinnamaldehyde and tannins. It is used in warming, antioxidant-rich blends. The panel names it twentieth on this lotion's list, beside Arbutin.
How to use
- After cleansing, sweep a small amount over the face with clean hands or a cotton pad, morning and night, before serum or essence.
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Arbutin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Arbutin and all. We match this lotion to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this lotion contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citronellol, Eugenol, Farnesol and Geraniol. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this lotion is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Arbutin?
Adenosine, Tocopherol and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Arbutin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract and Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract.

How it works
The Bulgarian Rose Intensive Treatment Lotion is a 90ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Arbutin, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Tocopherol and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Arbutin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion isoi sells in Korea, Arbutin and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Arbutin on the list.
- This list names Citronellol, Eugenol and Farnesol, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Arbutin works to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme present in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This results in less pigment, dark spots and skin lightening.
Tiffany Jow Libby, MDBoard-certified dermatologist, mindbodygreen People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
