Age Spots pt 3. Skin Lightening Actives Hydroquinone is a skin bleaching agent and side effects are burning and scarring and sometimes worst skin discolouration. It is found in a lot of skin lightening creams for African skin and are banned in most countries - it should be avoided and certainly never purchased off the shelf Kojic Acid, arbutin, Vitamin C & Liquorice extract are all permitted in cosmetics and as they all act in slightly different ways, they would have better synergy together. Scrubs, peels, micro-dermabrasion will remove dead cells, revealing brighter ones, and make it easier for a skin lightening actives to reach the dermis. Personally Im not a big fan of facial scrubs (even though I get a guilty pleasure when using them) as I know my cell turnaround is working and speeding it up can have the opposite effect ie dry patches and redness. Same goes for salicylic acid and lactic acid peels, they can be too aggressive for some skins, although fine for others.
