Re: Skin whitening
The most common ingredient to skin whitening products that actually work are generally hydroquinone and retina. The hydroquinone actually lightens the skin..while the retina (retinol) reduces wrinkles and helps with skin rejuvenations. Over the counter products generally have some of these ingredients.. But to get a real difference, you need to get prescription strength. I’ve used both of these products..and yes I am a tan color..however the purpose was not to get light. It was to help with some hyper pigmentation around the eyes….which does actually work..I was very surprised because I’ve used many products over the years.
However….. A word of caution….hydroquinone is pretty powerful, and you should have periods of times where you go off the product months at a time….
P.S. It is banned in India…..
im using something similar to this hydroquinone and retina ( image skincare product) i notice it had lighten my skin and looks so much better. it takes a while to get the result but it works wounderfully.
