types of face bleach - #21372

Vikram

I am really confused about the types of face bleach out there! Last month, I decided to try one of those popular face bleaches because I’ve been struggling with dark spots from acne and I thought it could help lighten them up. I went for one that claimed to be “natural” and after using it for just a couple of days, my skin became super irritated and looked worse. I mean, I was hoping to see some improvement, not a red, inflamed mess!! Just a few days ago I was at the dermatology office and they mentioned there are different types of face bleach that can be safer or more effective, but they didn’t have time to go into detail. Some friends recommended products they swore by, but I am kinda worried about what’s in them. Are there certain types of face bleach that are better for sensitive skin, or should I stick to something more mild? I’ve read some stuff about hydroquinone and other ingredients but don’t really know which types of face bleach are actually safe to use long-term. Can anyone share their experiences with different types of face bleach or suggest what I might look for in a product? Thanks!!
