Most of my friends want their skin to look white and beautiful. We understand that a lot of people especially those in showbiz undergo skin peeling. So, how safe is skin peeling or skin bleaching? I've also searched in some credible health magazines about this topic and it says that skin peeling and skin bleaching are two different things. Tretinoin is an example of skin peeling substance. It causes the mature or outer layer of the skin to mature faster and peel off. Those that have darkening from fresh lesions or wound like an acne or chickenpox, can apply this to peel off the darkened skin caused by the inflammation. Actually, even without this chemical, that layer of the skin, by natural process, will eventually peel off and blend with the original skin tone.
Hydroquinone, on the other hand, is usually the active substance in skin bleaching. This acts by altering the skin pigmentation.
If you are using Tretinoin, use sun blocks. Tretinoin has been found to increase the incidence of skin cancer in experimental animals.
