Skin Lighteners

In our view the damaging effects are much more than the benefits achieved by using the skin lighteners.  They are commonly called as bleaching creams and generally contain hydroquinone that can cause irreparable damage to your
skin. Continued use of it can reduce the production of melanin, which is a natural pigment, which protects the skin from the adverse effects of the sun. It also makes the skin “thin”. Even after discontinuing these products, the skin continues to become light for many years without showing any sign of stopping. Dark spots may become light spot. But prolonged use will cause your skin to become red, blotchy and blistered.

We strongly recommend not using skin lighters especially those containing over 5 % hydroquinone. Instead we recommend you to use sunscreen containing at least SPF 15 sun protection during the day and alpha hydroxy exfoliant at nights. This is a safer approach in our viewpoint.
