Why do some soaps help whiten skin?
The two main ingredients in some soaps help whiten skin:
1. Ingredients that help reduce skin pigmentation Some whitening soaps contain natural or synthetic ingredients that help reduce skin pigmentation, also known as "Bleaching agents" such as fruit extracts, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B3, arbutin, lactic acid, etc. These substances will help reduce the amount of skin pigments that make the skin look dark, making the skin look whiter and brighter.
2. Exfoliating Agents
In addition to ingredients that reduce skin pigmentation, some whitening and brightening soaps also contain exfoliating agents.For example, small particles that help exfoliate dead skin cells, making the skin look brighter and clearer, such as microbeads, charcoal powder, Thanaka scrub, turmeric scrub, coffee scrub, etc.
Therefore, soaps containing pigment-reducing and exfoliating ingredients can help whiten skin, but they must be used correctly and consistently to see visible results.
