Maybe desi bleaches as they bleach the skin too. What you can buy in boots (Jolen, boots own brand etc) don’t.
I’ve been doing it for 9 years and m’A my skin looks really good. Mostly coz of my genes (I still look 20 lol) but the bleach certainly hasn’t adversely effected my skin.
Ok, it may show up when bright sunlight is hitting it directly but at least you can’t see it in pics and it barely shows up in normal lighting. Compared to before, I’d take the bleach any day.
