Which skin bleaching product is the best? Which brand should you look for? Well, the first thing you need to get right is the active ingredients that the product uses.
The best chemicals to look for in a skin whitening cream are:
- alpha arbutin
- glycolic acid
- kojic acid
- Sepiwhite FSH
- ascorbic acid or vitamin C
These chemicals are natural, non-prescription, over the counter ingredients that have been shown to work safely and effectively, even when used consistently over many years, even decades.
You want to look for a skin bleaching brand that has been selling their products for many years with no bad reviews from customers, or bad side effects reported.
The company should be subject to FDA regulations, which means it’s best if the product is made in the USA, or if it’s made in the UK (for example), it would have to pass the regulations of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency or the MHRA.
Some products such as those containing hydroquinone are banned in the UK, while still legally available on prescription in the US, and in other countries, they are sold over the counter.
Hydroquinone has been shown to have nasty side effects when used over a long period of time, such as thickening and bruising of the skin, and so should be avoided. Some cheap Asian and African skin bleaching companies have even been found to have put mercury in their products!
So, it is important to choose wisely when looking for a cream you can trust your skin with, perhaps for the rest of your life, if you want to maintain the effects that long.
Which Brand Is The Best?
This blog is obviously a little biased, as it is promoting one particular brand, Tonique Skin Care, but it has all of the things I just mentioned, and is the best choice, for all those reasons.
The company is based in Maryland USA, they have been around for well over a decade, selling online to thousands of customers around the world.
The products are formulated with safe, well tested chemicals which have been proven to be effective, and to have no side effects, and they only sell skin lightening products, and know the subject better than anyone else in the world.
They have a knowledgeable support team who can answer any questions you have about which products to buy, and how to apply them to get the best results.
Simply send an email to sales@toniqueskincare.com with a photo of yourself and an explanation of what results you would like to achieve, (as well as how much you are willing to spend), and they will recommend a skin bleaching treatment program for you to do at home, on an ongoing basis.
Is It Permanent?
The results can be maintained indefinitely, by continuing to apply the cream to the whole body once a week, or once a month, for the rest of your life, if you want it to last that long.
If you stop using the products, the body will naturally replace the older skin cells with new younger skin cells, which continue to grow throughout your life, and your skin will go back to the way it is naturally.
The cost works out to be less than a cup of coffee, (depending on where you are in the world), and also depending on how much lighter you want your skin to be, and whether you are bleaching one area, (such as the face), or your entire body from head to toe.
If you are covering up a condition such as vitiligo or hypo-pigmentation, you may need to bleach the entire body white in order to get an even skin tone all over, particularly if your natural skin color is dark.
Anyway, all of these questions can be answered by the support team on the main site, which you can get to by clicking on the Tonique logo in the sidebar. Check it out.
