About Skin Lightening
There are many skin lightening creams available, with a wide range of effects. Some creams are targeted at generally lightening and brightening the skin. Some are targeted at reducing dark areas of the skin, like acne scars, melasma, and age spots.
And some are anti-aging products that lighten the skin only incidentally, due to repairing sun damage and rejuvenating the skin. This means that, whatever your skin care concern, there is probably a product tailored to meet your specific need. However, with every product claiming magical age-defying and skin lightening effects, it can be hard to sort out which one is best for you.
Skin Lightening Ingredients
For most people, it is easiest to begin by first identifying key ingredients and narrowing your choices from there. Every ingredient offers key benefits, so when you know what ingredient to look for, you can better make your selection. Also, if you know what ingredients don’t work for you, you can avoid them in the future. Here are some of the most popular skin lightening cream ingredients.
Antioxidants
Oxidation is the name for the chemical process where an atom or molecule loses electrons. The act of losing an electron creates a “free radical” – a molecule, ion, or atom that has too few electrons. It seeks weak bonds to “steal” an electron, and, in so doing, creates more free radicals, which perpetuate the act of stealing electrons and cascade oxidation throughout our cells in a domino effect. What this boils down to is that, over time, our skin cells get damaged at the molecular level.
Antioxidants are substances that have an “extra” electron. When they encounter a free radical, they donate their electron, stabilizing the free radical and stopping the domino effect of damage. All antioxidants are essential in the process of skin healing and repairing itself, and also for protection and preventing future damage.
Antioxidants are made within our own bodies, and are part of our natural defense mechanisms, but we can also consume them, particularly in vitamin-rich foods.
Some of our most famous skin-boosting beauty ingredients are antioxidants, including:
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is essential for wound healing and for collagen synthesis. Without sufficient vitamin C, skin lacks the necessary collagen to function properly, resulting in scurvy.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger.
Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant that has the unusual side effect of suppressing tyrosinase and therefore inhibiting the production of skin-darkening melanin. It is common in skin-lightening creams because of these dual functions.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme C10 is another free radical scavenger and is essential for electron transport and cellular respiration. Because it uses the same pathways in the body as cholesterol, it has been studied and found to also be beneficial in the treatment of heart disease and muscle disorders.
Retinol/Vitamin A
Retinol is an essential nutrient and is essential for the health and moisture levels of skin.
Antioxidants are best used in a system-wide approach. In other words, use antioxidants topically in your beauty products if they are right for you, but also eat a diet rich in antioxidant foods. By using antioxidants inside and out, you can prevent cell damage on the surface of the skin, and also in its deepest layers. Antioxidants also tend to work synergistically, so there is a close chemical relationship between glutathione and vitamin C, for example.
Most antioxidants, except for glutathione, tend to lighten skin simply by making it healthier and stronger, healing signs of past damage and preventing new ones. They tend to have few, if any, side effects, and then only in extremely large doses, and are a natural way to lighten skin.
Acids
While it may seem counter-intuitive that acids be healthy for skin, but many of our bodies natural skin production and healing mechanisms rely on weak acids called alphahydroxy acids, or AHAs. AHAs are used by the body deep within the structure of the skin to build and strengthen skin cells, building collage and increasing skin thickness. When they are applied topically, they reduce cell adhesion and promote exfoliation, promoting the removal of dull, dead surface skin to expose healthy skin below.
Acids tend to promote skin health by promoting exfoliation and cell turnover, removing dull surface skin and revealing new, healthy skin. In this way, they tend to be good for reducing the visibility of scars and sun damage by breaking down cell bonds and encouraging new growth. Acids are also often used as the first step in a treatment series, because they remove old skin and allow subsequent products and treatments to penetrate more deeply.
Some of the most common acids we see in skin care include:
Glycolic acid
Glycolic acid is a powerful exfoliant and the most common ingredient in chemical peels. It is frequently used by itself in milder preparations, or in a more concentrated form when administered by a physician, or as part of a skin treatment series.
Citric acid
Citric acid is a common exfoliant
Lipoic acid
Lipoic acid is commonly marketed as an antioxidant, but isn’t a true antioxidant. It seems to function as an agent that helps the body synthesize antioxidants like glutathione.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is one of the body’s primary lubricants, essential for moisture balance throughout the body. It is also a key component of skin tissue repair, and functions to build new tissues and reduce inflammation. Finally, it scavenges free radicals.
As with antioxidants, the body produces these acids on its own. However, topical treatments can be highly effective for exfoliation, healing, moisture, renewal, and other skin-boosting features. However, some of these acids can be irritating to the skin, and may not work for people with sensitive skin.
Other Skin Whitening Ingredients
There are other ingredients known more specifically for skin whitening (as opposed to general skin health and rejuvenating). Here are some of the most common.
Hydroquinone
Hydroquinone is an organic compound that is used for, among other things, developing photography. Used topically, it can whiten the skin, but has been found to cause cancer in rats, and is banned for cosmetic use in many countries. In the US, concentrations of 2% are available over the counter, often combined with exfoliants to allow the product to penetrate more deeply and work more quickly. The FDA is considering banning hydroquinone.
Arbutin
Arbutin is a compound derived from the bearberry plant. Chemically, it is a relative of hydroquinone, and, like glutathione, suppresses tyrosinase activity and therefore melanin production.
Kojic acid
Kojic acid is a by-product of the act of fermentation of rice, and was discovered in Japan during the process of making sake. It inhibits the formation of pigments and reduces oxidative browning, and is used as a skin lightener. It is also antibacterial and antifungal, and is shown to protect from radiation, and may even reduce the activity of cancer cells.
Azelaic acid
Azelaic acid may be an all-around beauty booster. It is an organic compound that kills acne-causing bacteria on the skin, and reduces the growth of keratin that exacerbates acne. It can also be used topically to reduce inflammation and smooth bumps of rosacea. It is another tyrosinase inhibitor, and suppresses melanin production, and is therefore used to treat melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly on darker skin tones.
Finally, it is a 5ar-inhibitor, and reduces the effects of excess androgen, so it can be used to reduce the effects of scalp hair loss, but also reduce excess body hair growth.
As you can see, there are a wide range of skin brightening and lightening ingredients available, and compounds that are known and proven to treat certain skin problems and disorders. Hopefully, knowing what these ingredients are, what they do, and how they work will help you choose the skin lightening products that are right for you.
Conclusion
Whether your hyperpigmentation is due to age, sun damage, acne scars, hormones, or for any other reason, there is no reason to live with skin that is prematurely old, uneven, discolored, or that simply makes you feel uncomfortable. Choose the right products with high quality ingredients and, just to be on the safe side, eat a diet rich in antioxidants, and have the best, brightest, most beautiful skin of your life.
