Asian Skin: Lightening Cream Whitens the Skin

Lightenex skin lightening cream can be used to lighten Asian skin and to correct uneven skin pigmentation marks including sun spots, chloasma, melasma, liver spots and freckles.

Asian skin is easily darkened by the sun, and to prevent this a daily sun block with SPF 25 or more should be used all year round.

Lightenex contains Kojic dipalmitate which is derived from Japanese mushrooms. Unlike many Asian skin whitening products which contain hydroquinone, Lightenex contains naturally derived ingredients.

Asian Skin Lightening Cream for Women

For full benefits, skin lightening products should be used morning and evening.

The products will take about 8 weeks to begin to work, as this amount of time is required to inhibit the production of melanin which causes darker skin colour and age spots.

The time it taken to clear pigmentation varies from one person to another. Whilst some can see a difference in 6-8 weeks, it can take up to 6 months to clear pigmentation, depending on your age and skin type, and extent of the pigmentation problem. Lightenex skin lightening cream should be used as an ongoing treatment to prevent further pigmentation.

New Research Reveals the dark Side of Skin Lightening Cosmetics

An ingredient previously banned from skin lightening cosmetic creams due to its damaging effects on the skin has now been found to cause cancer, claims a review published by Dr W Westerhof and T Kooyers , two of Europe's leading authorities on pigmentation in dermatology.

Hydroquinone was banned from use within cosmetics in January 2001 due to its well documented topical effects on skin, however new research has shown that it also may have more worrying long term effects and the review expresses concern that hydroquinone is still ending up on the UK market via two routes.
