hello, im a new customer and i saw this page just browsing through countless of pages about skin whitening. i saw on your notes below the products that skin whitening is recommended to 30 year old and up and the skin lightening is recommended to 30 years old and down. what is the difference between the whitening and the lightening? i am 24 years old can i use the whitening products instead of the lightening product so that i could prevent aging? they said that it is better to take anti aging products while you're young because it is better to prevent it than to treat it. is that true? thanks :-)

Answer:

Hi Hana, the only difference between the "Whitening" and "Lightening" line is that the "Whitening" has an added anti-aging ingredient thus technically making it less potent than the "Lightening" line. That's why you will notice in some of my answers that I also recommend the "Lightening" cream for targeted dark spots even if the individual is over 30 years old.

Feel free to use the "Whitening" products at your age of 24. Although it is still early (but not too early though), the Vitamin A content will be good for your skin. :)
