using skin whitening products putting us at risk for skin cancer?

is using skin whitening products esp. glutathione of any form would cause high risk for skin cancer?

Answer:

Hi Frecelie, that is not true. Whether you're in a skin lightening regimen or not, too much exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer.

The ironic thing is, individuals who use skin lighteners are less at risk because they are encouraged less sun exposure to achieve their desired goal.
