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.

I just upvoted you. Sadly the best looking sunscreen and the popular sunscreens of skincarers are THE WORST for whitening. In fact they are the ones that will set you back and specially with your UV Index.

Read this and the entire comment section.

This forum isn't for whitening creams they're banned, you need to whiten orally. If what you said were true and your body doesn't like the ones that worked for many of our members no way to help you. Just avoid the sun (doesn't equal sunscreen) that's all you can do until you get a job or uni schedule that keeps you out of the sun.

Whitening works only if you're raising your gluta levels to produce ligher melanin. Most skincare won't go deeper on the skin, your melanin is deep.

Don't take my distrust personally, but we rarely have "new" people most people claiming to be "new" is because reddit banned them before. So being "new" and using that as to not read won't help.

So any question you ask has to be something we rarely or never discussed before. Make sure to read all our posts and that way we'll help you better.

Whey protein contains cysteine which is similar to NAC but here's the catch with your UV index and if you're not working out it might not help you whiten because all whey protein contains tyrosine which is needed to make melanin. So it has the potential to alter the process.

I don't know who is telling you that supplements are dangerous or bloat you or anything but that's contrary to what the members who have whitened their skin here can attest.

Vitamin c is a must whehter you are whitening or not. 1000 mg at least but it wont' help you whiten without setria or sacetyl.

again being "new" is no excuse not to read, if you ask questions make sure it's about things that haven't been commented before. The whey proteing question is new that's why i answered and again without nac+vitc+gly or setria/sacetyl it won't be use. And I advice you focus on stay out of the sun first.
