Mira Rajput Kapoor has become a beauty and skincare connoisseur by now and I stan. The 28-year-old social media influencer who often shares her skincare tips on Instagram gave the details of her AM routine on YouTube recently.
Mira shared a couple of tips and ingredients she’s started using and small switches she’s made to her routine so far. Apart from switching to chemical sunscreens, the mother-of-two also spoke about how she’s started using Alpha Arbutin in her routine.
Why Mira Uses Alpha Arbutin In Her Routine
“I’ve got this one strange pimple that’s planning to leave a mark so I’ve begun to incorporate Alpha Arbutin into my skincare routine,” Mira explains in the video. She goes on to add that the ingredient is excellent for hyperpigmentation and noticed that even before the pimple healed, “The pigmentation is reducing much faster than it would have if I wasn’t using it.”
She uses it after Vitamin C and follows it up with moisturiser and then sunscreen.
What Does Alpha Arbutin Do To The Skin?
An unsung hero of sorts in the skincare world, Alpha Arbutin is derived from mulberries and pomegranates and is a popular skincare ingredient. It works effectively to fade spots and brighten the skin since it is a derivative of hydroquinone (an ingredient that fights pigmentation).
With regular use, Alpha Arbutin helps fade skin discolouration caused by exposure to the sun, acne scars and even out blotch skin tone. It is also quite mild which makes it perfect to use year-round by all skin types.
All-in-all, it works very similarly to Vitamin C. But when combined, the two make for a power product and are extremely effective.

The Minimalist Alpha Arbutin Face Serum also contains soothing aloe juice. The skin absorbs this product quickly and it reduces the degree of visible tan lines over time.
