in acne medicine. will it lighten my skin?

Does benzoyl peroxide lighten skin?
no ..instead it will make it dark ...regarding acne , acne scars and fair skin ..ask me ..i have oodles of experience ...





benzoyl peroxide will make u more darker and its good in removing pimples ..but u will b left with dark skin and also dont use it if u have sensitive skin..it will burn ur skin !!!





for pimples use this gel - cleargel or clindae gel ..they have a salt- clyndamycin ..which is very effective and doesnt make ur skin darker ...for lighting of skin use this medicated cream - radant kc ...if u use these two things ur will become fair and acne will b gone ..
Reply:no. do not worry about it
Reply:It can help to whiten teeth but I have never seen where it has lightened skin. It would have to come from the inside out. You are only putting it on the outside..so unless you are soaking in vats of it for hours upon hours. No.
Reply:I doubt it. I have never heard of it doing this to anyone else. And there are a lot of gothic kids out there that would be paying extra for it if it did! I think if acne medicine lightened skin Hot Topic would already have bought the the formulas and would be selling it as skin lightener...They could call it Vampire White. Or Moon Glow.


So I would say, it's highly unlikely.
Reply:No, even though it contains a "bleaching" agent, it won't lighten skin. It will, however, bleach out your pillow cases, sheets, and anything else it comes in contact with, so be careful with that.





Hydroquinone will lighten skin (if that's what you are looking for) but you need a prescription to get 4% strength unless you buy it from Canada (like I did) but it takes a LONG time (6 months if using it everyday) to lighten up a scar or red mark on your skin.

it dries your skin.


i tried some earlier this year to get rid of some pimples and after 3 days i had peeling skin (it makes your skin soo dry!).


it wont lighten it. but one good thing is that after a while of using it, the pimples in certain areas on my face stopped coming and i dont get them in the same area much.
Reply:i don't think so ... it does whitening your teeth though ...
Reply:I hope that's not what you want to use it for! Please say no. I don't know if it lightens it, but I'm begging you not to use it for that purpose! I'm sure your skin is beautiful!!!!!
