I  breastfeed my 3years old son only during night sleeping time. Can I use 2% Alfa arbutin serum for pigmentation!

Hi there... Alfa Arbutin is safe and your breastfeeding is limited. I'm more sceptical about the latter as it may cause dependency issues in the child. Do consult a child psychologist on this. There are also many alternatives to alfa arbutin that can be safely used. Do feel free to connect ONLINE using this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation for a detailed discussion and prescription. It is always advisable to send a few clear pics🙏

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) You can consult with me online via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
