Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Dennis Graziano

A skin lightening cream may be used to solve some skin problems, but you should be careful in choosing the product because some products use unsafe chemicals.

Long-term usage of dangerous products may result to pigmentation on the toes, buttocks, ears and fingers. It may also lead to thinning of skin if used on the face and also pigmentation in the surrounding area of the eyes.

It is therefore important that you examine first the ingredients and determine if they can pose danger to your health.

Common Ingredients of a Skin Lightening Cream

There are evidences that suggest many skin-whitening products are using very active ingredients, such as hydroquinone and mercurous chloride, that are extremely harmful to health. Hydroquinone has already been banned in many countries.

Other common ingredients are the following:

Mercury - You might see ammoniated mercury or mercury chloride on the label. These ingredients have been prohibited in other countries because they have been found to have the ability to accumulate on the skin. Long-term use may result opposite effects, experts say.

Depigmenting agents  Depigmenting agents such as monobenzone and mequinol are sometimes included. However, they are recommended only for vitiligo cases.

Niacinamide - If you need to lighten the tone of skin in the genitalia, look for products that have niacinamide. This ingredient is very safe, it promotes reduction of acne, it increases moisture in the skin, and it diminishes fine wrinkles.

Alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA) - If you see glycolic acid or lactic acid, then the product contains some of the AHAs. Now, these ingredients don't go directly and fight the action of skin coloration.

What they do is hasten the exfoliation process which results to faster cell turnover. With that capacity, AHAs can easily remove from the skin surface abnormal or unhealthy layers of the skin.

Cinnamomum Subavenium 

This ingredient comes from Chinese herbs. Experts say that this substance is effective in inhibiting the work of tyrosinase, the enzyme that speeds up the process of producing melanin.

A study is being done to know if this ingredient is really effective and safe. The study is using Zebra fish which has stripes on its skin.

Vitamin C  Here is one of the most effective and safest ingredients  vitamin C. It has been found that vitamin C is a good antioxidant for human skin and it has a considerable capacity of brightening skin. This is because the vitamin can raise the amount of glutathione in the body.

Kojic Acid  Another substance that can slow down production of melanin is Kojic acid, a by-product from the processing of the Japanese wine called sake .

However, if you will use a product that contains this ingredient, make sure not to expose yourself to sunlight. This ingredient loses its antioxidant and lightening properties when exposed to UV radiation.

There are 100|toxic-free skin-lightening creams that are available in the Pacific and in Japan. However, you have to prepare a lot of money to buy some of these skin lightening cream products. According to reports, they cost much.
