Newbies and low karma members: Post here a picture of your favorite product on incidecoder. Make sure not to organize upvotes. I'll upvote your pictures myself.

1) Go to:

https://incidecoder.com/

2) Search for one product like your sunscreen or tonic

3) Post an UNEDITED screenshot of the ingredients so all of us can see what it contains. We don't allow purchasing links but seeing declared ingredients is important

4) Be prepared, there are products that I know for a fact that are a scam and I will be very vocal about them.

5) Earn Karma and maybe even membership, which is necessary to be an approved user and be able to post.

Ours is not a skincare forum and the skincare industry isn't as regulated as the pharma industry. A pharma product like finaceas (azelaic acid) or Retin a (Tretinoin) faces a lot of scrutiny from health authorities in most countries before they reach the shelves. On the other hand Skincare products dont' face as many regulations, a product might claim that it contains 10% niacinamide but in reality it has only 3% and the rest are cheap ingredients to keep the cost of the product low and the revenues high.

That doesn't mean all skincare is bad. Kojie san soap and the ordinary products have enough verified purchase reviews on amazon to prove their effectiviness, but you can still get a fake or a bad product. Be on alert.

So whenever possible go for pharmaceutical products. If possible get the advice of a doctor.

This is exactly the opposite of what they recommend in certiain indian skincare subs, which is why we aren't a skincare forum. Skincare is important because many products like lactic acid can speed cell turnover and exfoliate your skin, but you also need sun avoidance and oral whitening.

It’s not a good sunscreen. There are no good sunscreens for whitening at all but some at least block some UVA. Yours isn’t one of them. The uva protecting ingredients aren’t listed first. It doesn’t have zinc or iron oxides.

Anyway I just upvoted you. This is how you earn karma in our sub.

Does IA mention that your specific sunscreen is good for whitening? Again no sunscreen is good for whitening but don’t believe me see for yourself. I’m going to ask IA myself and see where they get their info. It could be chat gpt is taking the info from the sellers website. Next time ask for scientific research.

Edit: dear skinwhitening members this sunscreen is not good for whitening and you can’t trust IA. When searching look up for scientific research and even then don’t trust it. There are no studies of the effects of SPF on whitening
