Skin Bleaching Cream – Why the “Magic Pill” is not Replacing a Good Bleaching Cream.

December 17th, 2009 by admin No comments »

A search for a good skin bleaching cream will turn up ads for a so-called ‘magic pill’. Glutathione. Unproven claims zip around the internet. It is supposed to whiten your skin ‘from the inside’.

Glutathione is a man-made drug. It treats nerve diseases such as Parkinson’s. Many patients regain movement and the ability to speak.  –Source: Medi Pharm Distributor

Still Waiting To Learn How it Whitens Skin? You’re not Alone.

On the website medhelp, a prestigious dermatologist was asked for medical evidence glutathione works as a skin whitner.  He said, “I’m afraid I haven’t got any. I am not aware of the use of this product for skin whitening. In fact, I’m not aware of any internal skin whiteners. There are creams for this purpose.” –Dr. Allen Rockoff, Rockoff Dermatology Center, MA
Creams work on melanin.

Melanin– closest to the surface– gives skin color.  No one can explain how attempting to impact melanin from the inside is superior, since the melanin is near the surface.

  • The FDA classified glutathione as GRAS: Generally Regarded As Safe. (But not specifically for skin whitening).
  • Glutathione is already in your cells. Putting more in your body gets risky. Why? Because they’ve never studied how much is safe and how much causes harm.
You could use glutathione in skin bleaching products, if you’re willing to be a lab rat.

Skin Bleaching Cream – Finding One That Won’t Make You Suffer

December 17th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Your choice of a skin bleaching cream boils down to whether it works with nature, or against it. And whether you can feel it working.

  1. Natural acids work with nature.
  2. Chemicals work against it.

Chemicals are put on skin to make it peel. Once it starts to dry and flake, the skin is scraped off. This is called ‘exfoliation’. Few people use peels to lighten overall skin tone. You just can’t peel your whole body.

It’s overkill.

But moles, dark circles, acne discoloration, freckles, sun spots and tattoos have all been attacked with chemical peels. Pigment runs very deep. A chemical peel has to burn off layer after layer to ‘get to the bottom of it’. It takes a lot of surrounding skin with it.

The naturals work differently.

The most effective natural ingredients in skin bleaching creams are acids. This may sound harsh but it’s very mild. The list includes:

  • Kojic acid.
  • Alpha arbutin.
  • Vitamin C.
  • Azaleic acid.

You cannot feel them work. They team up with nature. The gentle acids work on melanin production. When melanin is inhibited, skin lightens. As skin naturally replaces itself there’s less and less melanin in the new skin cells. 

How do we know it’s safe?  Alpha arbutin has been scientifically investigated. The result? Medical officials now call it “an alternative medicine” for skin bleaching. Also,

  • Kojic acid has been taken for centuries in Asia. They thought it was a vitamin. Then they noticed their skin was getting lighter.
  • You eat ascorbic acid in oranges. You drink azaleic acid in citrus juices. Kojic acid comes from rice or plants. Alpha arbutin comes from a berry bush. Bears love to eat it. Human herbalists love the juice, too.

These natural skin bleaching ingredients work. And you don’t feel them working.

Skin Bleaching Products – The Trouble With Hydroqinone

December 17th, 2009 by admin No comments »

The trouble with hydroquinone in skin bleaching products is you have to leave it on. This is just like any other skin lightening cream.

But The U.S. Cosmetics Ingredient Review Panel ruled hydroquinone is not safe when left on the skin. Toxic substances from the chemical get into the body through the skin. Once inside, it can attack and damage nerves. Hydroquinone was put on lab rats and they formed skin cancer. It goes terribly awry on dark skin. If you are not Caucasian, even the makers of hydroquinone skin bleaching products tell you not to use it.

A study compared hydroquinone with kojic acid, a natural skin bleach.

  • Doctors in Vancouver report both the chemical and the natural acid worked well.
  • Neither was better than the other.

But kojic acid is safe.

  1. It’s a natural juice squeezed from leaves or distilled from rice. Asians have taken it for years as a general health supplement.  
  2. Not only do you have to leave it on, but for overall skin tone you have to use it over a large area of skin. There is nothing in kojic acid that’s unsafe if absorbed through the skin.

It inhibits melanin production. Melanin darkens skin. As the body sheds old skin, the new cells are progressively lighter.

There are so many hydroquinone skin bleaching products sold over the internet. The only reason it is allowed in the United States is that dermatologists want to be able to use it on acne scars. They simply do not advise do-it-yourself hydroquinone skin bleaching.

Bleaching Sun Spots – It’s Simple. Unless You Let What Caused Them to Reach Them.

December 17th, 2009 by admin No comments »

He was using a sun spot bleaching cream and it was working well. The spots were fading. Then he was invited out on his buddy’s boat. No amount of sunscreen in the world could protect him from the disastrous results. His sun spots became darker, larger and  more grew on his face and arms.

A single day of sun will undo months of bleaching sun spots, according to The American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.

Sun spots are clumps of melanin. When melanin production is normal, you get a tan. When something goes wrong–and they don’t know what that is–melanin clumps. Add some UV rays from the sun and more melanin cells will join the clump.

To bleach sun spots, stay out of the sun. And find a skin bleaching cream made with natural acids

  • Kojic acid works to inhibit new melanin in skin cells.
  • Doctors categorize alpha arbuton as an alternative medicine. It inhibits melanin.
  • Vitamins C and B3 can be effective.
  • Azaleic acid is good.

 How to use an all-natural bleaching cream.

 Put it only where you need it. There will be no waste, which means less expense.

  1. Dab it on the dark mark with a finger or Q-tip
  2. It’s natural so it’s safe. Leave it on and let it work.
  3. You can use it twice a day, for weeks to wash out the color of sun spots.

This layer of skin lightener will not protect a sun spot from ultra-violet rays. No SPF or natural acid on earth will prevent it.

Skin bleaching products used to be for the face only. No surprise there. The face is always exposed. Melanin clumped.

Now they’re using these natural bleaches to lighten overall skin tone.

  • There are no side effects even using big amounts to cover a whole body. 
  • So there is no question swabbing it on small areas – such as sun spots – is safe.

Alpha Arbutin – The Science Behind Arbutin in Skin Bleaching Creams

December 17th, 2009 by admin No comments »

There is some impressive science to back up claims that alpha arbutin is a good skin lightener that you can use without risk.

We ran across the results of a medical study that put it very plainly: “Alpha arbutin is an effective and safe ingredient for skin lightening.” We dug up the study, to make certain it was not based on fly-by-night science.

Alpha Arbutin is an old homeopathic remedy that used to be put on wounds. People discovered it lightened the skin around the wound.

Alpha arbutin was put to a scientific test. A study, in Japan, was titled “Inhibitory Effects of Alpha-Arbutin on Melanin…”. Doctor K. Sugimoto and his colleagues at the Biochemical Research Lab in Osaka, Japan wanted to know if alpha arbutin inhibits melanin from growing in human cells.

  • Why melanin? It gives skin dark color. To fade skin color you have to inhibit the body’s production of melanin. Then your skin lightens, moles tone down, and dark circles under the eyes fade.
  • Why? Because your body constantly makes new skin, and throws out the old. The new skin has less melanin. Old dark skin is shed naturally.
  • Why Japan? Asians have been lightening skin for centuries. It’s cultural. The doctors wanted to be sure the alpha arbutin so commonly used in their country was safe in products sold throughout Asia.

The Japanese medical investigators put human skin cells to the test. Their big concern was that if you interrupt melanin, the whole cell becomes abnormal.

They were able to report that alpha arbutin cut melanin production by more than half but had no other effect on cells developing normally.

Moles – How to Get Rid of Skin Moles Using a Skin Bleaching Cream

December 10th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Skin moles baffle scientists. A skin bleaching cream will fade a mole.

Why moles develop is a medical mystery. How skin moles develop is not mysterious.

  • Melanin rises to the surface skin to form a mole.
  • Melanin is a natural skin pigment which gives color to skin.
  • Normally melanin distributes evenly, producing the common sun tan.
  • When it clumps near the skin surface, you get a mole.

Modern skin bleaching cream inhibits melanin production.  Good creams include all-natural substances such as kojic acid and arbutin.

  1. These additives inhibit melanin production and gradually fade dark moles.
  2. Skin lighteners are considered specific, because they go to the source of moles.
  3. They can be applied with a finger tip or a Q-tip.
  4. They require repeated use over time.

Excessive melanin, drawn to the skin surface, explains everything from skin moles to birth marks. These are examples of what’s called hyperpigmentation. Medical researchers studied what they called “depigmenting agents”. These substances encourage melanin to disintegrate. Researchers examined over-the-counter skin bleaching creams which act as depigmenting agents.

The research proved skin bleaching creams utilizing kojic acid and arbutin worked.

Sun Spots – What Causes Sun Spots and Are Using Skin Bleaching Creams an Effective Solution

December 10th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Sun spots appear when skin pigment absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays. The pigment – melanin – rises to the surface. It’s natural. It protects the skin from overexposure. The usual result is a skin tan.

 A sun spot is an unusual result called hyperpigmentation.

  • The melanin forms into clumps of darker cells.
  • Sun only makes sunspots worse.
  • According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, a single day of sun undoes months of sun spot treatment.

 Many people use skin bleaching creams to fade sunspots.

  • Natural substances work to inhibit melanin production.
  • As skin naturally replenishes, new cells contain less and less melanin.
  • The natural ingredients kojic acid and arbutin hinder melanin production.
  • Kojic acid and arbutin are the basis of modern over-the-counter skin lighteners.

The alternative to fading is removal. Surgical excision of a sunspot is extreme. You trade a spot for a scar. Skin peeling strips the sunspot and also surrounding skin. Lasers are more targeted. Insurance seldom covers sunspot removal.

A health note: A doctor will distinguish a harmless sunspot from a malignant skin cancer (lentino maligna).  A spot that is not flat, is irregularly shaped, or contains more than one color may need attention.

Skin Whitening Pills – Are Skin Lightening Pills More Effective Than Skin Bleaching Creams?

December 10th, 2009 by admin No comments »

It is advertised as a “magic” skin lightening pill.  But no “wizards” have made sure glutathione is safe.


It is an antioxidant. It’s been used to fight aging. To be honest, it can work. If you want to take the risk.  A report in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science warns about glutathione. The skin lightening pills contain a lot of it. But no one has studied how much glutathione is too much.

Oddly, the only study of the stuff was in Italy. Doctors looked into whether it made a good hangover pill. They thought it might push alcohol out of blood. Glutathione messes with your blood.

It makes sense to avoid glutathione pills when there are safe alternatives that have been safety tested.

 To avoid severe side effects, check out the newest skin bleaching creams which use natural ingredients. Look for kojic acid, arbutin, and vitamin C. They avoid the risk of complications

African American Skin Bleaching – What Kind of Skin Bleaching Creams Are Safe?

December 10th, 2009 by admin No comments »

The evidence against hydroquinone continues to mount, especially regarding the use of hydroquinone skin bleaching creams on African-American skin.

 A study in the East African Medical Journal cited the case of a 30-year old woman who ran a cosmetics shop. She had been using two hydroquinone-based skin fading creams for four years. By the time she saw a doctor, she suffered chronic tiredness and a lack of feeling in her legs. The diagnosis was neuropathy, which is also called nerve degeneration.

 Otherwise, she was healthy. So the doctors advised the woman to stop using the hydroquinone creams.  Within four months the symptoms disappeared and she walked again without difficulty.

Smoother, milkier darkly-pigmented skin has become a fashion trend among people of African skin color. There are far safer, natural skin bleaching products for African skin that do not risk the nerve damage of hydroquinone.

  • Effective skin bleaching creams work by impacting the pigment melanin.
  • The doctors found kojic acid works to inhibit new melanin in skin cells.
  • It’s very safe. The Japanese diet has included kojic acid for general  health benefits for years.
  • Arbutin an alternative medicine that inhibits melanin activity.

Hydroquinone Cream – The Dangers of Using a Skin Bleaching Cream Containing Hydroquinone

December 10th, 2009 by admin No comments »

It is not news that Great Britain banned hydroquinone. What’s making news in England is how seriously English health officials take the risk of hydroquinone in skin bleaching cream. Hydroquinone  causes a raft of serious side affects. Then English health authorities learned it was shown to cause cancer in skin bleaching products, and cracked down. But hydroquinone is still sold in the US, over-the-counter.

And you will find it in stuff made overseas and imported.

The English Consider Hydroquinone a Serious Risk. London Police Officers, wearing body armor, raided a cosmetics firm. The raid turned up smuggled bars of skin bleaching soap. Hydroquinone was listed right on the box. The danger is using hydroquinone repeatedly over large areas of the body. When the skin breaks, the chemical penetrates into the bloodstream to reach the liver and kidneys.  There it can cause more damage.  Bathing with it would be astonishingly dangerous.     Source:  CNN.com

As long as we are ruling out dangerous stuff in skin bleaching creams, a  note about Glutathione.
It’s an antioxidant that has surfaced as a skin lightener. A report in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science cautioned that there is no standard for how much glutathione should be allowed in skin bleaching creams.

 Translation: they don’t know how much is too much.
