Harmful effects of skin whitening drugs

Unwanted complications from using skin whitening chemicals can lead to skin darkening, shock, burns, dehydration, and even leave ugly scars.

In the beauty market, there are some spas that often introduce skin whitening drugs to their customers. Many people have sought this service with the desire to rejuvenate their skin.

However, unwanted complications from using these chemicals can lead to skin darkening, shock, burns, dehydration, and even leave ugly scars... The essence of these drugs is that some chemicals have high bleaching and corrosive properties.

The chemicals used for skin whitening that are commonly used by ordinary establishments are AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), glycolic, lactic, citric, tartaric and malic acid. These substances all have strong bleaching properties. In addition, some places also use the chemical TCA (trichloroacetic acid) at a concentration of 20 - 35%.

This chemical can cause skin burns if not used according to the regulations. In some cases, people even use phenol at a concentration of 88%, mixed with soap, olive oil, croton oil to kill the entire outer layer of the epidermis to make the skin look brighter.

Phenol is harmful to the body, highly toxic, capable of directly poisoning the heart muscle. It can even cause liver and kidney damage and lead to arrhythmia stimulation if overdosed.

Therefore, if you need to whiten your skin, you should use a cream with natural ingredients to help your skin slowly renew its epidermal cells, such as glutathionine. You should not use fast-acting skin whitening drugs that are highly toxic and dangerous to your skin and health.
