Skin Whitening Cream

Benefits Of Skin Whitening Cream

The main reason why women go for skin whitening cream is to enhance their skin color to look much fairer. Some use skin whitening cream to treat pigmentation disorders such as freckles, spots, blemishes, acne and so on to give the skin a better texture and an even tone. Skin whitening cream has agents that help not only improve skin complexion but also combat aging process. However skin whitening creams can only be effective if the right cream is used to treat the target disorder.

Problems Associated With Skin Whitening Cream

There is a great demand by dark skinned women to achieve fairer skin. Some will apply anything that promises to give them a fairer skin without caring about the consequences. Women will fall prey to any product that promises quick results. Some manufacturers have taken advantage of this to offer women exactly what they want by using harsh chemicals that can cause damage to body and even cause death.

There are many women out there suffering from using skin whitening cream. Something that started out as a mere desire to enhance skin complexion turned awry. Beauty experts warn people from using these creams without first consulting. Skin whitening cream should be used under full supervision of a qualified dermatologist.

Skin whitening is generally considered safe. However there are some certain ingredients present in skin whitening products that are known to be harmful. Some agents such as hydroquinone, mercury and steroids are banned in most countries yet they are present in almost all types of skin whitening creams. The reason why they are banned is because studies have shown that they have cancer generating properties as well as can trigger certain health problems. Its better to remain dark skinned but never try hydroquinone if you want to live longer and healthy.

From Personal Experience with Skin Whitening Creams

In a bid to lighten the dark spots on my face I have tried Skin Glinnter, Revitol and Dermology.

If you want instant results Skin Glinnter is the answer. Revitol is definitely the most cost effective skin lightening cream but results can be seen after about 4 weeks. And Dermolgy could be your next choice.

Skin Glinnter is very effective in removing the skin discoloration and dark spots in just about a couple of weeks. If Skin Glinnter is combined with exfoliating agents it shows result in 2 weeks.

However, you will need to dedicate time and patience to the process of diminishing the spots. And the results might vary a bit according to the skin physiology of the individual and specific conditions.
