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.
- Natural acids work with nature.
- 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.
