Do Benzyl arbutin help in permenant skin whitening.In which products I can get in India.

Answer:

Hi Tejas, benzyl arbutin is another form of arbutin, a skin whitening agent, but is not the ingredient for permanent skin whitening.

You are referring to benoquin, which is a prescription drug for vitiligo disorders. Some individuals resort to this for permanent skin whitening. Some individuals did it with success, but some also failed, and the results are IRREVERSIBLE. Can be scary.

I personally wouldn't recommend it. Please don't do it.
