Looking for skin lightning and whitening products? Here are 3 substances to avoid!


1. Hydroquinone does not make your skin lighter. So what does it do? Hydroquinone interferes with your skin structure, altering your natural state and limiting the production of melanin – the substance responsible for your natural skin color. Which means? You take away your skin’s natural protection, making it vulnerable to skin cancer. The use of hydroquinone is dangerous and it is even illegal in several countries around the world.

2. Mercury. True, mercury lightens dark spots. But Mercury poisoning is very dangerous. Headaches, fatigues and memory loss, even severe kidney damage are all associated with Mercury poisoning. Mercury based cream can also cause rashes, irritation and changes to the skin. Long term effects are impossible to reverse.

3. Steroids. The use of steroids can cause skin thinning and create deep stretch marks. Steroids side effects are associated with cellulites, eczema, fungal infection, even acne and further pigmentation disorders.

So should skin lightning or skin whiting products should you use? Only natural products that are derived from plant extracts or caviar extracts, like Makari’s Caviar Face Lightening - a high performance brightening treatment that intensively targets hyperpigmentation to give the skin an extraordinary radiance and beautiful even coloration.
