I've seen you and youre like Fitzpatrick 4 if you want to go lighter you can go to Fitzpatrick 3 because going to Fitzpatrick 2 will make you look weird since you have ethnic features. Use kojic acid for 3 months and arbutin for a month both at the same time

I would like to mark as solution if only I posted it on off topic
 
use hydroquinone, all other products are pretty much useless, you can reach your ideal skin tone within 2 weeks maybe even less

3 months is WAY too long with Kojic acid to be used, I will make a full thread addressing it but Kojic acid was ironically more harmful to my skin than so called "harsh" whitening products

Wait do people unironically do this
 
Kogic acid soap won’t do much for u unless u have some unhealthy tan. Hydroquinone is the way
 
And does it work lol? I thought that it’s just some pipedream shit
Apparently it can work but imo you're better off accepting your ethnicity and if your coloring is weird just fraud with hair color and contacts

Yeah I imagine some pure darkskin getting his skin bleached and looking like one of those ugly white recessed dogs (forgot the name of the breed)
 
Depends on what product you try. Some products like glutathione are temporary but more intense stuff like hydroquinone can be permanent
Does it cause any side effects or potential dangers? Ive some skin color obsession normie zoomer Indians irl to the point where theyd probably wanna bleach their skin too

Yeah there’s definitely dangerous products out there that brainwashed ethnics take without thinking it through. There’s lots of Korean skin whitening products along with stuff like caro white that contain mercury which can cause skin cancer. Shit like caro white also might even make ur pigment worse and give u rebound pigmentation.

It reminds me of those radium girls where they used were putting some radioactive stuff on their haws and they fell off or sum

Hydroquinone is relatively safe, as long as you cycle on for three months and off for another three. Rebound hyperpigmentation does exist, but as long as you use vitamin C/sunscreen, you’ll be fine.

I mean, if you have somewhat Caucasian looking features (Indian, arab etc) you might benefit from it but ig if you’re black or sum then itll just look extremely weird

Hydroquinone (4%) won’t necessarily make your skin look unnatural. It isn’t strong enough to do so and is typically used to fade hyperpigmentation or slightly lighten the skin by a few shades. This is different from Benoquin, which can cause a more unnatural-looking complexion with use.

Oh, that’s cool then. I still don’t think that most black people need skin lightening because there is both darkskin and lightskin appeal. But yeah hyperpigmentation can be a big falio
