I wanted to share with you my favorite skin lightener for those of you who have sun spots, or brown pigmentation on your skin. Pigmentation comes from hormones and sun damage and also from scars from picking at your acne.
This product contains 2% hydroquinone plus 2% salicylic acid. The active ingredient to lightening skin is the hydroquinone which is one of the main ingredients used on the cosmetic market to lighten skin pigmentation. the added bonus which is the 2% salicylic acaid (also known as BHA beta hydroxy acid) is good for skin exfloiation so that the hydroquinone can be most effective.
You can buy this product at www.paulaschoice.com for $18.95 for 2oz bottle that will last you a while as you only need a little bit. There is a lotion version and a gel version, I personally like the gel version because I have oily skin.
Prevention: the best way to prevent further skin spots and and pigmentation is to use sunblock EVERYDAY~! I can't emphasize how important it is to use an spf with a broad spectrum that covers both UVA and UVB rays ( I will get in depth into this topic on another thread). In the meantime, use this product or any product on the market with the active ingredient hydroquinone 2% and higher. :)
