Alpha arbutin is made from plants, hydroquinone is a chemical made in a lab. Alpha is safe and does not cause issues over time, whatever creams/serums you use, you must use a mineral sunscreen together. Sunscreen is prevention, otherwise everything else is a waste of money and under sun can become worse with or without products on face.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that more and more people are talking about Kojic Acid. About 17 years ago, right after high school, I somehow stumbled upon a Kojic Acid soap. I used it to treat my PIH from acne I had in high school. I was diligent with it, and It worked like magic. Every time I got some sort of hyperpigmentation ever since, I always sought the soap out. It is fragranced as hell, but I didn’t have much options until the last two or so years.

Hydroquinone is banned here. I’ve tried vitamin C (skinceuticals), B3, etc. Prescription azelaic acid transform my face. I was already using prescription retinol (tretinoin) so maybe it’s due to the combination. But within two weeks of adding prescription azelaic acid to my routine my face was bright, glowing. I think it’s the antioxidant qualities. Vitamin C is a complete ripoff. Go for prescription not over the counter products and you can get it all online and cheaper than all the OTC products sold by cosmetic companies that mostly just drain your wallet and not all that effective (that’s if you can tolerate prescription retinol).

The OG whitening soap in the Philippines was papaya soap specially in the early 90s. During early 2000s Kojic acid was already introduced. Then, the latest now in the Philippines is Niacinamide soap for brightening and for younger looking. Just stay away from the sun during 9 am to 3 pm because during those hours there's a high risk of harmful UVA/UVB coming from sun rays. UVA is a longer wavelength that penetrates deeper into the skin, reaching layers beneath the surface. UVA rays are associated with skin aging and inflammation and can lead to skin cancer. UVB: Shorter UVB waves cause skin to burn. UVB is a major driver of skin cell mutations that cause skin cancer. Always wear sunscreen spray or lotion (SPF 30 and above). The cheapest way and non chemical approach is wearing a jacket/ longsleeve with hat or having a black umbrella. According to some sources, black umbrella is more effective in penetrating the harmful effects of UVA/UVB rays. I hope these informations will help.

[@groundcontrol436385]

Yes. I had a terrible discoloration in & above an eyebrow about 4 inches long. I tried some things first but bought a $9 tube of hydroquinone. May have been AHA brand. I can't remember how long I used it, but it completely erased the discoloration. I had to be careful because if I left it on too long it caused a sore with scabbing. I figured out how to best use it and was absolutely astonished at how well it worked. The dark spot was completely gone. This was in the 1990s & it hasn't returned. But then I stopped tanning my face. The tube also listed the % strength which many really expensive solutions didn't do. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing such great information.

Following using riceberry face serum by littleextrrra for three weeks, here's what I experienced: Pros: It efficiently softens and evens out the skin, giving it a subtle glow. I've also seen a reduction in my genetic dark circles (avoiding the eye area is recommended). It has also helped fade dark spots on my sister's skin. Cons: Personally, I have dry and dull skin, and using the serum daily exacerbated my dryness. I advise using it three times a week along with a quality moisturizer to avoid dryness. I haven't seen any noticeable improvement in tanning or skin tone issues in first 3 weeks. Update 2 months later: After nearly two months of regular use, I consider it my favorite face serum. It has started showing positive results. My skin glows, dark circles lessened, and dark spots reduced a lot. So patience is important when using this serum.

Kojic acid vs azelaic acid, which one is better?

[@sh-et9xk]

[@t.tanzim]

[@SM-il2rr]

[@donnap.c.886]

I think we need the name of that product!

[@chestaverma6039]

What about niacinamide & tranexamic acid? Also, retinol is good for brightening?

[@zoharilala5045]

I'm black and i've tried hydroquinone for a week or two, i couldn't sit on my butt for a whole month it burned oike hell... And my butt turned out to be darker than the darkest nigga you've ever found... All i wanted was an even skin tone 😢 ...

[@MugiwaraPhoenix]

As a dark nigga this kind of heart 😂

[@tunzlunz]

Bro isn’t hydroquinone what they put in bleaching cream?!

[@Lillyswords]

@@tunzlunzyup, that’s the one. It’s banned in Europe.

@@Lillyswords omg!

[@groundcontrol436385]

Oh dear. That's awful. I used it above an eyebrow on tougher skin than a soft bottom. I'm Italian descent so medium to light-ish skin color. Tanned too much and ended up with discolored big patch, which to me looked very obvious. The hydroquinone worked for me - long time ago so can't remember how long I used it but like you I found it could burn if left on too long. I learned to be careful with use and the discoloration disappeared completely & never came back - this was 30 years ago. Maybe don't worry about your butt, nobody cares what color it is. And if they do then get rid of them. LOL!

I was using vitamin c serum+ moisturizer for a while and I started getting so many compliments on my skin for my skin tone being very even and bright it definitely worked on me

[@whatsinmythaalitoday4950]

Which brand

[@teiubids]

Jesus loves you so much more than you think repent and stay blessed

[@polarpoca8541]

Which brand

[@LaisCordiolli]

I love it!

[@lexijones8019]

That’s not fair. We can’t use Hydroquinone anymore

[@sajalkim3160]

The way to a good and healthy skin is using products that have less actives but a gof gentle facewash, sooting toner and a moisturizer. That's it and yeah a serum or treatment for skin concern

[@richrich2862]

Wait isnt number 1 dangerous?!?!?

[@YukiSatagawa]

Retinoids/ retinal always can’t go wrong but I also wanna hear more on O2 capsule skin care products! c: they so interesting cause I heard from some Korean seems our skin lacks oxygen? Or I think it was carbon dioxide I forgot which 1 😭 But our bodies distribute oxygen throughout our face and sometimes it can be lacking of em. So I heard of 02 skincare brand and really wanted to try em out ^^

[@Caffeinatedsoul00]

Have been using hydroquinone retinol combination (suggested by my dermatologist) for when ever i get scars since 5years now. It reduces most of my scars in 15days and i stop after scars almost fade away. Usually this happens once a year. This combo makes your skin the worst before it makes it the best. You need to be careful with it. P.S. I am a Doctor.

[@sutaparoy5733]

Its makes your skin good . So how it can make skin worst , i mean what are the precautions?

[@groundcontrol436385]

Oh dear. I'm just a lawyer so I hesitate to give a doctor advice but perhaps you should avoid whatever is giving you all these scars. Just saying.

[@ausrinekuzaite6682]

No niacinamide?:(

[@aestheticnorms]

Can I use ordinary alpha arbutin , kojic san soap and ordinary vitamin c serum together or is topical faded serum better
