Choosing Dark Spot Correcting Cream

By Marie Patterson


Skin discoloration may be a result of a hormone dis-balance. Hormone related spots and similar issues can be successfully removed on several different ways, as well as age spots and other complexion issues. There are various products available today, and finding the best dark spot correcting cream may not be so easy as you think. And you should read the label very carefully before applying any of them.

Although some ingredients might be quite effective for this purpose, some are also forbidden in most countries, because they might be highly toxic or cause different health problems. Maybe you can rely on some domestic manufacturers, but buying your products online doesn't give you any guarantee about following your domestic regulations when it comes to cosmetics.

Lighteners and dark spot removers often contain one or more active ingredients. Some are effective, but perfectly harmless, while others might be highly toxic and dangerous. For example, mercury. It is well-known how toxic mercury is, but still, some manufacturers use it in their products. When some pregnant woman uses such cream, she is poisoning not only herself, but her baby as well.

Other really dangerous substances that can be found in similar products are steroids. They can be absorbed through your skin and cause different health issues. Of course, like with any other substance, smaller quantities won't cause so bad damages as the larger ones. If you apply some questionable product on a spot or two, it might not cause any issues. On the other hand, if you apply it on your entire body, the results might be quite different.

Bleachers and lighteners sometimes contain hydroquinone. This substance isn't dangerous in very small percentages, but might be in larger ones. It should be contained in amounts smaller than 2 percent, generally. If the percentage is larger, or even not listed, make sure to ask your pharmacist, dermatologist or physician before choosing or using this particular product.

If you find the retinoic acid on the label, you should know that it is derived from vitamin A, chemically. It's safe to use in prescribed dosages. There are also some natural ingredients that are also highly effective, but also perfectly safe to use, for example, kojic acid. It is made out from fungus, and gives really good results. Arbutin is also highly effective, and this is really a substance that can be found in many plants.

Although some chemicals might be quite effective, they should not be used unless proved to be harmless. That's why you should consult your physician or your dermatologist about using different cosmetic products made for skin lightening and similar purposes. Natural ingredients are always much better option, in cosmetics and in your kitchen.

If your skin is really sensitive, you should never consider using such products without consulting your dermatologist first. Maybe your friend was perfectly satisfied with this same product, but it still doesn't mean that you should use it. Pharmacists also can be consulted when it comes to different cosmetic products. Read the label carefully and ask for professional opinion, just in case.
