face & body whitening cream - #21973

Raj

I am really confused about this whole “face & body whitening cream” thing. Last month I started using this cream that claimed to do both, right? I mean, my friend recommended it, saying she got great results. At first, I thought, cool, why not? My face and body have some dark spots that bother me. But then, after a week of using this face & body whitening cream, I noticed my skin getting dry and red in some areas. I read online that some ingredients can actually cause irritation, and now I’m worrying if the cream is doing more harm. A week back, I had this weird patch of skin that felt itchy, and I'm not sure if it’s related but it freaked me out! I've stopped using the cream, but now I’m wondering: how do I know what’s safe in a face & body whitening cream? Like, are there specific ingredients to avoid, or is this just not a good idea for my skin type? A couple people have mentioned allergic reactions too. How do I figure out what works for me? I just want to lighten some spots safely, not make my skin worse! Any advice would be super helpful, thanks!
