It used to be said that “one white covers all ugliness”. Now [Bai Fumei] is the goal of the girls, especially [white].
There are so many whitening and freckle-removing products in the shopping mall, and there are so many [whitening pills] and [whitening needles] everywhere (whether it is [a treasure] or a circle of friends), the girls believe that our wish of [whitening beauty] will come true eventually!
In fact, for so many whitening products, what we need to do most is to polish our eyes and distinguish which is true and which is false.
What are the ingredients of whitening pills? Does it work?
According to the advertisement, the ingredients of whitening pills and needles known to all include vitamins (C and E), glutathione, tranexamic acid, resveratrol, tea polyphenols, or Chinese herbal medicine extracts (all plant ingredients).
Let me tell you a little about some of these ingredients.
1. Tranexamic acid:
It is favored by many dermatologists because it can not only slow down melanocyte proliferation and inhibit melanin particle synthesis, but also repair skin barrier function, which is one of the important ways to whiten skin.
It has high safety and has no other side effects except the reduction of menstrual volume with very low incidence rate and the almost unreported induction of systemic thrombosis.
However, it should be emphasized that oral tranexamic acid does not enter the market as cosmetics, but is a drug that requires dermatologists’ diagnostic prescriptions and observation and follow-up.
2. Glutathione:
In the 4-week observation report of oral administration of glutathione, researchers found that oral administration can cause melanin content to continue to decline significantly faster than that of the control group, that is to say, oral administration of glutathione does have certain whitening effect.
However, the article finally made a key conservative statement: internationally, the safe dose of long-term oral glutathione has not yet been determined, and more related clinical trials have not been allowed.
3. Whole plant composition:
Sophora flavescens essence, pine bark extract special SF, tangerine peel extract ingredient, black pepper extract ingredient, soybean extract collagen, etc.
With regard to these, One thing we need to stress over and over again is: It is unscientific to talk about the efficacy of any chemical composition without dosage. That is to say, although these ingredients may have whitening effect, it is useless if the dosage is not enough. What’s more, if you eat too much, there may be side effects. Because of these ingredients, there is a lack of effective clinical data on whitening effect and their safety and efficacy reports.
If not, will they have side effects?
Some so-called white needles compounded on the market cannot be found on the [China Food and Drug Administration] website as registration or approval procedures for drugs and cosmetics.
[Whitening Pills] or [Whitening Needles] are beyond the concept of cosmetics and cannot be managed according to this set of international standards.
Many ingredients may indeed have certain systematic whitening effect in theory, but in fact there is no relevant data to support their efficacy and their safe and effective dosage.
Therefore, girls, you must know that without legal supervision, there is no guarantee of safety.
It’s a bit dangerous to eat. Can cosmetics whiten you?
Skin is an important barrier to our body, which can effectively resist foreign invasion. However, also because of this, those macromolecular substances with whitening effect are not easily absorbed, which greatly reduces the theoretical whitening effect.
Therefore, light whitening agents are not enough. Only those ingredients that can penetrate the human skin barrier and can be effectively utilized can have better whitening effect.
Having said so much, how can I be white?
There are many factors that affect skin color:
1. Heredity: If your parents have white skin, you will make money.
2. Environment: The intensity of sunlight radiation in the area is the key.
3. Skin: Different parts of the body will be different. Generally speaking, the whitest part is the inner side of the upper arm.
4. Health status: Inflammatory, non-inflammatory and pigmented skin diseases, or other systemic diseases, such as liver diseases and kidney diseases, will lead to skin color changes.
But don’t be cold for girls who dream of being [whitening]. We also mentioned earlier that some effective and safe whitening ingredients can be recommended by dermatologists in regular medical institutions and owned for a long time.
The most important skin care habit-sun protection is really related to whitening. Only by learning scientific sun protection can the whitening effect be truly achieved.
Therefore, it is a lifelong goal to want to be [white skin beauty]. It is not a cold day or a few days. If you form habits and persevere, your dream will always come true!
