Yoko Whitening Cream

Yoko Whitening Cream – Overview

Yoko Whitening Cream is a low-cost skin lightening agent that’s popularly sold on various third party websites, despite the fact that it does not have an official product website and not a lot is known about its manufacturer. Its formulation works by gradually eliminating the appearance of pigmentation marks like pimples scars, freckles, sun spots, age spots, and similar skin discolorations.

Yoko Whitening Cream comes in three formulations: one with Papaya Extract, one with Aloe Vera Extract, and one with SPF 15.

Ingredients Contained In This Product

SPF15: Mineral Oil, Cetylalcohol, Vaseline White, Beeswax, Titanium Dioxide, Lanolin Oil, Allantoin, and Perfume.

Aloe Vera Extract: Kojic Acid, White Oil Vaseline White, Lanolin, Chthyle Alcohol, Vitamin E, Beeswax, Titanium Dioxide, Allantoin, and Perfume.

Papaya: Kojic Acid, Chthyle Alcohol, White Oil Vaseline White, Lanolin, Vitamin E, Beeswax, Titanium Dioxide, Perfume, and Allantoin.

Yoko Whitening Cream – Product Description

The ingredients for the three different Yoko Whitening Cream formulations are listed above, and users can choose which one suits their skin whitening needs the most. Although a clear explanation of how each formulation works together is not readily available, there is some information known about specific ingredients. Kojic Acid is a known natural skin whitener. Mineral oil is an useful emollient. Vitamin E and Beeswax have moisturizing and antioxidant properties that yield softer skin that’s protected from further damage.
Apply a small amount of Yoko Whitening Cream on the skin twice a day. A jar of Yoko Whitening Cream is available on third party websites for a surprisingly low price of $4 (£2.50).

Yoko Whitening Cream – Advantage

• Product is very affordable.
• Product does not contain Hydroquinone.
• Product comes in three different formulations.
• Some third party retailers say product can be used as a foundation.
• Suitable for both men and women.
• Lightens all sorts of hyper pigmentation marks.

Yoko Whitening Cream – Drawbacks

• Product does not have an official product website.
• Manufacturer information is limited.
• Clinical evidence that proves product’s effectiveness is not readily available.
• Older versions of the product used to contain mercury, a potentially hazardous material.
• Perfume content may irritate sensitive skin.

Yoko Whitening Cream – The Bottom Line

Given such an insanely low price, anyone would be willing to try Yoko Whitening Cream at least once, just to see if it even works. Even if it doesn’t have an official website that features a comprehensive amount of information and clinical evidence, even if it doesn’t have a money-back guarantee, even if not a lot is known about its manufacturer, all of that can be excused solely because of its super-low price. However, people with sensitive skin should be warned that Yoko Whitening Cream used to contain mercury, a material that may have multiple hazardous effects on one’s health and well-being. If you value quality over price, you would do better with a product that at least gives you a way to contact its manufacturer in case you have a product-related question.

YiQi Beauty Whitening – Advantage

• Made from natural ingredients.
• Product controls the production of melanin.
• Available through various online retailers.

YiQi Beauty Whitening – Drawbacks

• Some ingredients are not disclosed.
• Product has no official website.

YiQi Beauty Whitening – The Bottom Line

YiQi Beauty Whitening may be a good consideration for users looking for an entire skin care routine, since it comes with 4 different items, all for a specific purpose. It is also reasonably priced, considering the amount of items you are getting per order. However, the lack of an official website makes it harder to verify the credibility of available product information, and there is virtually no way of contacting the manufacturer for any question.

White Caviar Illuminating Cream – Overview

White Caviar Illuminating Cream – Product Description

Through the ingredients listed above, White Caviar Illuminating Cream is able to hamper the production of melanin, a substance that causes pigmentation in the skin. Wrinkle reducers and Golden Caviar Extracts are included in the formulation to provide tired and sagging skin a much needed rejuvenation. Other ingredients of note include Rare White Honey for its hydrating and anti-aging effects as well as White Flower Complex, White Truffles, and White Wine Extract, which are all enriched with antioxidants that protect the skin against impurities and free radical attack.

To include White Caviar Illuminating Cream in your daily skin regime, use it every morning and evening after a thoroughly cleansing and toning the skin. Dab a small amount over the neck and face.

A 50ml tub of White Caviar Illuminating Cream is available on its official product website for $470.

White Caviar Illuminating Cream – Advantage

• Product has lightening effects as well as anti-aging and metabolism-boosting benefits.
• Contains Golden Caviar Extract for added skin firmness.
• A few positive reviews are published about the product.

White Caviar Illuminating Cream – Drawbacks

• Product is highly priced.
• Product is recommended to be taken with another product by the same manufacturer to increase effects.
• Ingredients are not completely listed on the official website.
• May not work on very dark pigments.
• A free sample of the product and a money-back guarantee are both not offered.

White Caviar Illuminating Cream – The Bottom Line

From the name itself, you can immediately assume that White Caviar Illuminating Cream will be decadent in use and luxurious in cost. For a product that’s priced this high, it would be great if the manufacturer could provide a money-back guarantee and free trial as well as more information on the formulation and how it works to achieve a lighter, more youthful skin. It also will be hard to convince buyers to purchase this product without clinical evidence proving the product’s effectiveness readily available on the official website.

Makari Oralight

Makari Oralight Overview

Out of the many skin lightening products in the market today, Makari Oralight is probably the most unique because it is in capsule form. A supplement that can me taken alongside other Makari Oralight products, this skin lightening pill aims to increase the health and glow of one’s skin and protect it against free radical damage.

Makari Oralight is a popular brand of skin care products that specifically caters to people of ethnic skin. It does not contain Hydroquinone and other similar skin bleaching agents. Third party retailers that carry this product also feature reviews from satisfied customers.

Ingredients Contained In This Product

Bearberry Leaves Extract, Lemon Fibers, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc Oxide, Gelatin, and Magnesium Stearate

Makari Oralight – Product Description

Makari Oralight contains a couple of herbal extracts that have significant effects on fortifying the skin. Bearberry Leaves have clarifying effects that cleanse the skin of its impurities and also hamper the production of melanin, a substance responsible for skin pigmentation. Lemon Fibers are enriched with bioflavonoids that increase the effects of Bearberry. Vitamins C and E are also included in Maraki Oralight’s formulation to strengthen the skin’s immunity against free radicals.

Since Bearberry Extract is also a known diuretic, it is advised to drink plenty of water when taking Makari Oralight. It is also recommended to take 2 capsules of Makari Oralight once a day with a major meal.

A pack of Makari Oralight contains 90 capsules and retails for about $47 (£29.95) on select third party websites.

Makari Oralight Advantages

• Product is designed for ethnic skinned users
• Formulation contains herbal ingredients
• Product comes in pill form
• Formulation does not contain Hydroquinone or other harsh bleaching agents
• Available on various third party websites

Makari Oralight Drawbacks

• Product does not have an official website
• Ingredients are not fully explained as to how they facilitate skin lightening
• A money-back guarantee and free trial of the product may not be offered
• Product has not gone through scientific testing

Makari Oralight – The Bottom Line

Whoever thought of making Makari Oralight in pill form is a genius—it sets it apart from various topical creams and bleaching agents that require skin cleansing prior to application. Furthermore, it does not contain harsh chemicals that may irritate sensitive skin and it features a few herbal extracts that may entice a certain user demographic. However, its lack of an official product website that contains comprehensive information about each ingredient as well as references to studies performed may discourage users who require more info before buying.

Lumixyl

Lumixyl Overview

Lumixyl is the name of a skin lightening product that uses a radical and new peptide technology to caters to cases of hyper pigmentation, treating skin marks such as sun spots, age spots, patchy skin tone, and sun damage, to name a few. Its scientifically proven formulation aims to eliminate the signs of uneven pigmentation in around 8 weeks of regular use.

Lumixyl has skin whitening properties and is suitable for all skin types. It can work on its own or used together with other skin treatments that aim to improve skin tone. It has a non-irritating, non-toxic, and moisture-rich texture. A 16-week study on Lumixyl shows a 50% improvement in skin tone.

Ingredients Contained In This Product

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bisethoxydiglycol Cyclohexane 1,4 Dicarboxylate, Licorice Root Extract, Allantoin, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract, and Panthenol

Lumixyl – Product Description

The ingredients listed above are not explicitly listed on the official Lumixyl website, but the manufacturer claims that the product’s formulation has gone through rigorous scientific testing to prove its effectiveness as a hyper pigmentation solution. Lumixyl supposedly controls Tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for increasing the skin’s natural pigmentation, ensuring a more even skin tone. Other ingredients include Licorice Root Extract for its ability to treat skin ailments like atopic dermatitis, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract for its anti-inflammatory effects, and Panthenol for its healing and moisturizing properties.

To experience optimal results, the manufacturer of Lumixyl recommends using the product for a full 16-week period. Lumixyl has an official product website, but buying it is only possible through a distributor or other third party websites, where a 30ml bottle of the topical brightening cream costs $103 (£65) and the entire skin brightening kit costs $237 (£149.95).

Lumixyl Advantages

• Product has had extensive media exposure
• Formulation caters to varying cases of hyper pigmentation
• Product has a non-greasy, non-irritating consistency
• Product does not contain Hydroquinone
• Safe for long-term use
• Official website is easy to navigate
• Contains a comprehensive FAQ section

Lumixyl Drawbacks

• Ingredients are not fully listed and explained
• Product can only be bough through a distributor
• Third party websites that carry the product price it exorbitantly
• Product seems to be part of a skin brightening system
• Contact information supplied is insufficient

Lumixyl – The Bottom Line

It’s hard to trust a product that doesn’t disclose its ingredients openly on its official website, no matter how popular it is in the media. Even though Lumixyl is supposedly tried and tested to effectively vanquish signs of hyper pigmentation on the skin, the hassle of buying it through a distributor or buying it as part of an expensive skin bleaching kit through third party websites is discouraging, especially to new users. To make it worthwhile, the manufacturers need to make their product more available and more moderately priced.

Whitaplex

Whitaplex – Overview

Whitaplex is a skin lightening product that aims to lessen the appearance of acne marks, dark spots, birth marks, freckles, uneven skin tone, age spots, sun spots, unsightly moles, discolored underarms, and overall dull skin. Its potent formula uses ingredients that have been tested and proven to be safe and effective.

Ingredients Contained In This Product

Aqua, Cetearyl Olivate, Octyl Benzoate, Sorbitan Olivate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Kojic Dipalmitate, Niacinamide, Glycerine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Sclerotium Gum, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, and Caprylyl Glycol

Whitaplex – Product Description

The most notable ingredients included in the Whitaplex formulation include Kojic Diplamitate, a skin whitener that’s more effective and stable than Kojic Acid; Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate for increasing the body’s collagen production, and Niacinamide, which controls the production of skin pigment-causing melanin.

It is recommended to use Whitaplex twice a day, once in the morning then again at night. Wash affected areas before directly applying a small amount of Whitaplex using a finger or a Q-tip and wipe away excess cream. If using as a base for makeup, make sure it is completely absorbed first. Depending on the extent of damage on the skin, a bottle of Whitaplex should last several weeks. A bottle of Whitaplex is available on the official website for $49.95.

Whitaplex – Advantage

• Product is made from tried and tested ingredients.
• Official website is easy-to-navigate and informative.
• Formulation is designed to diminish the appearance of all types of skin discoloration.
• FAQ section is comprehensive, covering method of application, amount of product per bottle, and other important queries.
• Treats dark spots, age spots, and general skin discoloration.
• A buy 3, get 1 free promo is offered.

Whitaplex – Drawbacks

• Even though the website claims the ingredients are tried and tested, the results of these tests are not referenced.
• Customer reviews are not featured.
• Visible results may take anywhere between 8-10 weeks.
• Product may cause skin peeling.
• A free trial of the product and a money-back guarantee are not offered.
• Manufacturer is unknown.
• Product is expensive.

Whitaplex – The Bottom Line

Whitaplex seems like a promising product that offers to treat unsightly dark marks caused by hyper pigmentation. Although it claims to use clinically proven ingredients, scientific evidence backing up this claim is not featured on the website. Not a lot is known about the manufacturer, either. If you’re paying a high price for a skin whitener, it might as well be a brand that offers you a comprehensive amount of information, leaving you no cause for complaints.

Luminaze

Luminaze Overview

Luminaze is a brand of skin whitener developed and manufactured by Syneron Beauty Inc. to control the body’s production of melanin, a substance responsible for the skin’s pigmentation. The official product website features an informative video narrating the clinical research process that showed Luminaze users experiencing a 29% enhancement in their skin tone, as opposed to 15% experienced by users using Hydroquinone, a popular bleaching agent that can cause irritation to sensitive skin. The official product website also features a comprehensive FAQ section that tackles product safety, animal testing, and correct product use.

Ingredients Contained In This Product

Water, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Polyacrylate 13, Dicaprytyl Carbonate, Cetyl Alcohol, Liquid Paraffin, Stearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Ligninase, Polyisobutene, Veratryl Alcohol, Polysorbate 20, PEG-4 Dilaurate, PEG-4, Citric Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Luminaze – Product Description

The ingredients listed above are not explicitly listed on the Luminaze product website, but on the whole, the product’s formulation is believed to be effective when used on the entire face as well as affected areas that may contain uneven pigmentation. Another thing to note is that Luminaze does not contain Hydroquinone—making it suitable for people with sensitive skin—and studies show that it actually yields better results than the popular skin bleaching agent.

Luminaze has 2 pumps that contains the enzyme solution and the bio-activator respectively. To use Luminaze, apply a small amount from pump 1 over the face and follow it up right away with a small amount from pump 2. A bottle of Luminaze contains 30ml and is currently only available at The Bay in Canada for $120 and Nordstrom in the United States for $124 (£78.43). Every bottle is expected to last between 4-6 weeks.

Luminaze Advantages

• Evens out marks of hyper pigmentation
• Product has a non-greasy formula that does not contain Hydroquinone
• Visible results can be expected in as early as 1 week
• Packaging is easy-to-use
• Despite having no customer reviews featured on the official website, other third party retailers showcase amazing product results

Luminaze Drawbacks

• Ingredients are not fully listed and explained on the official website
• Product is expensive
• Additional SPF is recommended to be used along with the production
• A free trial of the product and a money-back guarantee are not offered

Luminaze – The Bottom Line

The official product website claims that the product has gone through extensive research and testing and has yielded better results than the potent Hydroquinone, which makes it a great alternative for people who can’t take the harshness of the popular bleaching agent. However, for a product that costs a little higher than most brands, the official website should provide more useful information, such as a breakdown of the formulation that explains each ingredient used.

Vinoperfect – Product Description

Every pack of Vinoperfect includes a Radiance Serum, a Day Perfecting Fluid SPF 15, a Cell Renewal Night Cream, and an Enzymatic Peel Mask. The whole system is designed to attack melanin deposits, inhibit its further distribution, lighten dark existing dark marks on the skin, and encourage a glowing and more youthful skin tone by boosting collagen production. These products do not contain Triclosan, GMOs, Phthalates, Petrochemicals, Parabens, Sulfates, or Synthetic Dyes.

The prime ingredient of Vinoperfect is Viniferine, an extract sourced from grapevine stalk sap that has the ability to act as a natural skin lightener. The Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Fluid SPF 15 has undergone clinical trials and 100% of test subjects attest to having a radiant glow coming from their skin only after 28 days of regular use while 95% noticed that their tone is more even looking. 89% claimed to have reduced pore size after only the first application.

The Vinoperfect Radiance Serum should be applied on before the Day Perfecting Fluid. The serum should be applied every morning and night directly onto the face and neck area.

The Vinoperfect Enzymatic Peel Mask is recommended to be used twice a week, left on the face for at least ten minutes then washed off with water.

Vinoperfect – Advantage

• Products do not contain harmful phthalates, synthetic dyes, sulfates, and parabens.
• Official website features a complete listing of ingredients, clinical trial results performed on select items, and positive reviews from satisfied customers.
• Available through the official website as well as various online retailers and high-end cosmetic stores.
• High-end beauty stores may offer free samples of the product.
• Entire set of products is priced reasonably and every product can be bought separately through third party websites.

Vinoperfect – Drawbacks

• Scientific evidence supporting products’ claims is not cited on the official website, although they claim to be clinically proven.
• A money-back guarantee does not seem to be offered.

Vinoperfect – The Bottom Line

Vinoperfect seems like the perfect skin whitening system, as each item has a very specific use and contribution to skin lightening and renewal. The entire set seems to be priced reasonably, and for people who don’t want to get the whole package, items included in the kit can be bought separately through third party websites and beauty stores. That is probably the best way to buy the product, since a money-back guarantee does not seem to be offered on the manufacturer’s website. Free samples are probably also available in actual stores.

Lebrillenc – The Bottom Line

Lebrillenc, like most skin care products produced by foreign-sounding manufacturers, is priced slightly higher than most skin whiteners available in the market today. However, according to the official product website, Lebrillenc is clinically tested and does not contain Hydroquinone, making it a suitable option for people with sensitive skin. Orders made through the official website also come with a 2-month refund policy, and free shipping is thrown in for orders of 3 bottles.

Lakshma

Lakshma Overview

Lakshma is a one-of-a-kind skin lightening product that has been gaining popularity in the US, with a formula mild and potent enough to use on intimate areas of the body—such as the anus, vagina, and underarm—without the need to worry about skin irritation. The product’s ability to restore skin to its natural tone prior to pigmentation or discoloration makes it suitable to apply to other visible areas of the body as well, like the elbows and knees.

Lakshma‘s US manufacturer is a company called Cardan Health and Beauty. Lakshma is marketed toward female users of all skin types.

Ingredients Contained In This Product

Soft Water, Glycerin, Kaprilik / Caprica Triglyceride, Stearic Acid, Emulsifying Wax, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Beeswax, GMS and PEG-100 Stearate, Dietanolamintsetilfosfat, Vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin E, Dipalmitat Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Undarii Cirrus Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Pyrosulphite Sodium Diazolidinil-Urea, Butilkarbamat Yodopropinila, Frankincense Essential Oil, Rosemary Essential Oil, and Essential Oil of Peppermint

Kojic Acid controls the body’s production of melanin, a substance that causes the pigment of the skin to darken. Vitamin E slows down the sign of aging and enriches the skin by acting as an outer shell that protects it against sun damage and free radical attack. Similarly, Undaril Cirrus Extract also enriches the skin and protects it against sun damage while also enhancing its glow and softness. Other ingredients include Licorice for its therapeutic effects and Arbutin, a natural skin lightener sourced from the Bearberry Fruit.

To attain optimal results, apply a dab of Lakshma directly on affected areas every night. After 3-4 weeks of regular use, visible results may be expected. The official product website is in Russian and may require translation, but Lakshma can be bought through Cardan Beauty for $35.

Lakshma Advantages

• Product does not contain Hydroquinone.
• Some ingredients and their uses are explained on the official website
• Product is designed to lighten intimate areas
• A before-and-after photo is published on the website

Lakshma Drawbacks

• Official website is in Russian and will need translation
• Clinical evidence supporting product’s claims are not cited on the official website
• Not suitable for women who are pregnant or nursing
• A free sample of the product and a money-back guarantee are not offered

Lakshma – The Bottom Line

Lakshma is clearly a non-American brand, proven by its Russian language official website that may discourage potential buyers, since the product information is not readily understandable. However, the fact that it was brought into the US means that it may be effective enough to infiltrate the market. It seems like a unique product—there aren’t many skin whiteners that are safe enough to use on the intimate parts without causing severe irritation. However, to be able to provide users with more reliable product information, the official website needs to reference results of studies supposedly performed on the product, and more importantly, it needs to at least be automatically translatable into English for better ease of use.

Swiss Whitening – The Bottom Line

Don’t be shocked by the astronomical price—Swiss Whitening is probably priced that way because every order comes with pills, serum, day cream, and night cream. Convincing people to cough up a lot of money for an entire set of skin whitening products will be hard, especially since a free trial and a money-back guarantee are not offered. Furthermore, there is a limited amount of information available on how the product works and how to use it on a daily basis.

Garnier Dark Spot Corrector – The Bottom Line

Garnier is a well-known brand in the skin care product industry, but if you plan to use Garnier Dark Spot Corrector to—like the name implies—correct the appearance of dark spots on the skin, you need to be willing to wait between 4-8 weeks to see actual results. The product does not contain Hydroquinone; that’s good because that makes the product suitable for people with sensitive skins who can’t handle harsh skin bleaching materials, but it also makes the skin lightening process a lot longer. It also has a fragrance that may be too powerful for sensitive noses. However, it is reasonably priced and products made by Garnier are usually available in popular beauty stores and third party websites.
