Skin Whitening products are an amalgamation of chemicals that can be both, beneficial and harmful for your skin. Your job, as a consumer, is to make sure you buy a product with the least amount of harmful chemicals. If you’re looking for a
skin lightening treatment in Abu Dhabi, be sure to wary of the following chemicals in your product.
What to Avoid?
Hydroquinone:
It is the most commonly used harmful chemical in whitening products that many
skin whitening treatment clinics in Abu Dhabi tell you to avoid. It snatches from the skin its ability to protect against harmful sun radiations, increasing the likelihood of skin cancer and sunburns.
Mercury:
Mercury is another very common neurotoxin that reduces the skin’s ability to resist infection. Usage of products containing mercury can cause skin rashes, scarring and discoloration. In the long run, it can affect the brain, kidneys and the nervous system.
BHA/BHT
This chemical has been labelled as carcinogenic and yet it continues to be used in skin whitening products, except for Europe where it is banned. When tested on animals, the chemical caused liver and stomach damage and affected the reproductive system.

What to Look For?
Vitamin C & A:
Being natural, both vitamins are completely safe and are very efficient at lightening the skin tone. They not just fight skin issues like infections and acne, but also help protect the skin against all sorts of environmental harm.
Arbutin:
Arbutin is actually a natural source of Hydroquinone, thus it is a far safer alternate for the harsh chemical. It safely inhibits the production of melanin and naturally lightens the skin. Arbutin is found in abundance in Bearberry and dockweed.
Kojic Acid:
It is an absolutely healthy chemical with bleaching properties without the harshness and side-effects of its counterparts. Do look for it when choosing a whitening product.
