Alpha arbutin (2%) is generally considered a safe topical ingredient for pigmentation and has minimal systemic absorption. Since you are breastfeeding a 3-year-old child only at night, it can be used with proper precautions.
Next Steps
• You can use 2% alpha arbutin serum once daily (preferably at night)
• Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or above) during the day
• Start with a patch test before regular use
• Combine with a gentle skincare routine (mild cleanser + moisturizer)
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid applying on breast/nipple area
• If irritation occurs, discontinue use
• Results take time (6–8 weeks or more)
