The beauty industry is worth millions.
We have an innate desire to be more attractive and often use cosmetics
which may even be dangerous.
There are hundreds of products that claim to be able to
lighten your skin.
Hydroquinone has traditionally being used as a skin lightening
agent, but has had many adverse reactions.
Hydroquinone as a cosmetic ingredient is banned in the European
Union since 2001.
A safer and more effective alternative to hydroquinone based
products is the Lightenex® cream by PharmaClinix®. The active ingredient in Lightenex® is Kojic Dipalmitate, which helps restore
and maintain a beautiful and flawless complexion without the damaging
side effects of hydroquinone.

a reverse effect by causing the skin to darken, leaving many people with
permanent dark marks or disfiguring conditions.
