Below we explore what it is, how it works, and what is the best cream for you.

What is skin whitening cream?

Skin whitening creams are a great solution for dealing with dark spots, acne scars and uneven skin tone. But what exactly are whitening creams, and how do they work? A whitening cream is a skin lightening product designed to reduce areas of hyperpigmentation and brighten your overall skin complexion creating a more even and radiant appearance.

Why use skin whitening cream?

A whitening cream is an effective solution to help reduce the pigmentation in your skin whilst enhancing your beautiful natural glow. Many people lighten their skin to help them feel more confident and to support their natural beauty.

How does it work?

A popular choice for skin lightening, a whitening cream targets your skin’s melanin production. Sometimes melanin can be overproduced in certain areas of your skin which results in dark patches or an uneven skin tone. Some of the most common ingredients found in whitening cream include Arbutin and Kojic Acid. 

How do you use it?

Whitening cream is easy to use and will quickly become a staple in your night time skincare routine. First you’ll need to cleanse your face to remove any dirt or makeup. Then you can exfoliate your face as usual, rinsing and drying your skin after. Once your face is clean and dry, you can then apply your cream as instructed on the packet. We have a wide range of skin whitening videos you can browse for more information.

How often should I use skin whitening cream?

It’s recommended to apply whitening cream every night before you go to bed. This is because some whitening cream ingredients can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight so it’s best to avoid sun exposure, hence why night time is best. You’ll need to be applying your cream daily to make sure you have the best chance of seeing results.

How long does it take to work?

On average it takes around 2-4 weeks of regular use to start to see the benefits of your whitening cream. This means that you need to make sure you’re applying the cream regularly to see the best results. It can take up to 12 weeks to see significant improvement to your skin tone and reduction of dark spots.
