    I think that talking about skin lightening, which is really important in old ladies with dark spots, could be a good blog post. I think this site is really helpful in terms of explaining things thoroughly but in an easyish to understand way too. It appears that because theres a glucose attached to the molecule of arbutin, it makes it much more effective. This kind of relates to chemistry so thats good :D

    ooh its good that it explains the mechanics of it since usually people just put stuff on their face w/o knowing how it works. i'll cover this one.

    Wait this is a great article because it really explains the detailed structure of arbutin as well as how it works to lighten skin. The alpha vs beta aspect could also potentially be interesting to expand upon.

    From what I understand by reading it, the glucose added onto the hydroquinone makes it safer. There was also a mention of 'anti-cancer activity' on melanoma cells. This can definitely be expanded upon since it is something so different from everything else researched.

    Looking even from the abstract, we can get some info on abutin - the chemical in the gold mask that cause irritation

    I think the allergic reaction to the arbutin was only specific for that one person who wrote the article. From this review article, it seems as though arbutin is used in a variety of skin lightening products, because it reduces the melanin production, which causes dark spots and what not.
