Does anyone know any products in the USA tha contain "Deoxyarbutin"? And did it work for you?How many shades, or just lightens dark spots?
I already have found out that Deoxyarbutin and Benzylarbutin are several times stronger than regular Arbutin (regular Bearberry extract) and that Alpha-Arbutin and Methyl-arbutin as not as strong as them. Are there any others?

I was wondering about this as well. The Revitol cream from ultraherbal.com contains bearberry. Some have said they've gotten great results with it.

Only deoxyarbutin is strong.
Benzylarbutin doesn't exist. At least not as a known lightening agent.
Arbutin and methylarbutin are arbutins naturally found in bearberry and its relatives. However, they are not that effective, deoxyarbutin is best.
