Whitening Essence Ranking

Whitening is something every girl will do, but do you know which whitening essences are useful? If you don’t know, let’s take a look below~

Whitening Essence Ranking

Whitening is a systematic and huge project. It cannot be accomplished by simply applying some products on your skin. Factors such as daily diet, regular work and rest, and moderate exercise are also crucial. Black people who fish for three days and rest for two days are doomed to have no hope.

Moreover, a person's skin color is determined by genes. The whitest the skin can be can be found on the inner upper arm or inner thigh. This is the so-called whitening limit .

Let’s first introduce some effective and commonly used whitening ingredients: VC and its derivatives, tranexamic acid, niacinamide, mandelic acid, ellagic acid, ferulic acid, AA2G, arbutin, glabridin, resorcinol derivatives, and kojic acid. The last two ingredients can be found in some unpopular brands, while kojic acid is more commonly used in Japanese mid-to-high-end products.

But at the same time, there are some evil elements. Various heavy metal compounds, such as mercury compounds , can also destroy the formation of epidermal enzymes, thereby inhibiting the formation of melanin and playing a whitening role, but long-term use can easily cause cancer. Some whitening products contain lead compounds , which actually achieve a visual whitening effect by covering up the skin. Some products also use strong oxidants to bleach the skin surface, over-exfoliate, and other methods to whiten the skin. These methods are chronic disfiguring to the skin. Therefore, choosing whitening products requires extreme caution and professionalism.

Generally, each skin care brand has its own patents and main ingredients, and each person's skin has different sensitivities to different ingredients. In simple terms, a single ingredient may be effective for girl A, but not necessarily for girl B.

So before I buy whitening essence, I always try the small samples first (of course, the premise is to find a reliable purchasing agent), and then buy the full-size product after I find the most effective ingredients and products for me (not just because I’m poor =. =).

Whitening care principles:

The focus during the day is on anti-oxidation + sun protection , less but better. Piling up too many products will not only cause absorption problems, but will also increase the burden on the skin. It would be more appropriate to hold all the highlights at night .

SkinCeuticals PCF Antioxidant Serum

Reference price: 1490rmb/30ml

SkinCeuticals’ star product is also one of my favorite essences. Its full name is SkinCeuticals Brightening Day Serum. This essence is designed for oily or combination skin (friends with dry skin can check out CE essence). The main effects are anti-oxidation and whitening, so many people also call it a whitening bottle.

The ingredients are not complicated, mainly 10% vitamin C + 2% phloretin + 0.5% ferulic acid. Phloretin is a whitening and antioxidant ingredient that can work with vitamin C to enhance the antioxidant effect. For me, the biggest effect is to even out skin tone and reduce spots and acne marks. The ingredient of ferulic acid has a double antioxidant effect~

Because this essence has both anti-oxidation and whitening effects , it is extremely popular. This is the first anti-oxidant essence that I, a person with oily skin, bought. It is so effective that it makes me wonder what I was doing for the past twenty years.

SkinCeuticals/Duke Color Repair

Reference price: 595rmb/30ml

The famous Duke Color Repair is the essence I use to remove acne marks! When I started using this SkinCeuticals essence, the main problems on my face were red bloodshot and acne marks, and the acne marks were the kind that were already brownish in color. So after using it, you can clearly feel that the red blood streaks fade away much faster than the acne marks, but now the brown acne marks are basically invisible.

One more thing, there are two versions of color correction, one is the color correction phyto Corrective we are talking about today, and the other is the color correction enhanced Phyto+. You should do your homework before buying. Some sellers on Taobao don’t understand the products and confuse the concepts. They may even label the products as phyto or enhanced, so you should pay more attention.

Clinique Vitamin C Repair Serum

Reference price: 580rmb/34g

Contains 10% active L-vitamin C. Individually packaged in small tubes to maintain vitamin C activity. Mix the vitamin C powder and essence evenly before use. The texture is a relatively viscous essence, and it smells like rust and saliva, which is not very friendly. But it’s great for brightening your skin tone.

After one month of use, the skin has become noticeably brighter, and the redness, swelling, acne and acne marks have been reduced. I like everything except the taste. But it is not suitable for use before makeup, as it will cause mud.
