In previous blog posts, we've discussed the dangers in using Hydroquinone. This does not mean that you should stop using your skin lightning products, but we still want you to know which ingredients are safe to use.Alpha-Arbutin for example is a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient. It is the more effective, faster, and safer approach to promoting skin lightening and an even skin tone on all skin types. Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of tyrosine, minimizes liver spots, and reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure.
Beta-Arbutin, often referred to as just Arbutin, is a natural extract found in Bearberry plants. Alpha-Arbutin’s effect on skin lightening is much better than Arbutin. Therefore many new skin whitening products now use Alpha-Arbutin as opposed to Beta-Arbutin.
Glycolic Acid not only evens out skin discoloration, but also helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Glycolic Acid can assist other ingredients in skin lighteners by allowing them to penetrate farther into the skin.
Lactic Acid mimics the properties of Glycolic Acid but is typically better suited for individuals with sensitive skin.
Vitamin C interacts with copper ions of the tyrosinase active site and reduces oxidized dopaquinone, thereby changing melanin from jet black to light tan.
You can find all of these natural substances in the skin lightning creams by Makari - embracing beauty and skin care one face at a time..
