skin light cream ingredients - #14263

Arush

I am super confused about these skin light cream ingredients because I have been trying a few different products for dark spots on my face that have been driving me nuts. A few weeks ago, I went to a skincare consultant who suggested a cream with ingredients like hydroquinone and kojic acid. But honestly, I don’t really know much about what these skin light cream ingredients actually do! I used one last week, and my skin got really red and irritated, like I had a horrible reaction or something. Is that normal?? I thought it was supposed to help lighten my dark spots not make my skin worse! My best friend suggested some over-the-counter options but when I looked at their skin light cream ingredients, they all seem to have similar things in them like alpha arbutin and licorice extract. Are these better? How do I even know what’s good for me? I’m worried I might be making my skin even worse while trying to help it. Should I be avoiding certain skin light cream ingredients altogether? Like, is there a specific list of no-nos or something? I just want to find something that works without causing reactions! Anyone relate?
