face bleaching cream - #17173

Nisha

I am really confused about this whole face bleaching cream thing. I mean, I’ve been seeing all these ads online and some friends say they’ve used face bleaching cream and it worked wonders for them. But here’s the thing, I used a popular face bleaching cream for a few weeks because I wanted to lighten some dark spots from acne scars, and honestly, I’m not sure if it’s doing anything good for me. I've noticed my skin feeling way drier, and some days I get these weird red patches. My sister tried a different face bleaching cream and ended up looking like a tomato. I really thought face bleaching cream was supposed to be safe, but now I'm scared I might be making my skin worse. How do you even know if a face bleaching cream is the right one? Plus, are there specific ingredients I should watch out for, or steer clear off? I feel like I’m in a weird skin battle here, and I just want something to actually help. Aren't there side effects to these products? Should I just give up on the whole face bleaching cream idea or is there a way to use it without messing up my skin? Would love any advice, cause I’m really feeling stuck here!
