Every known Chemical/Cream/Oil to Lighten the Skin

[.👽.]

I found this and thought that it could be helpful for my ethnic looksmaxxers here. You can get most of them online&legal.
-->Ingredients with the red color are proven to work (if you believe youtubers before/after)

Ingredient	Description	How it works	Efficacy	Safe on darker skin?
Arbutin	A hydroquinone derivative (glycosylated benzoquinone) extracted from the bearberry shrub.	Inhibits tyrosinase to prevent the formation of melanin.	Arbutin found to inhibit melanin production in B16 cells induced with alpha-MSH and decreases tyrosinase activity. Less effective than kojic acid.	Yes.
Alpha-Arbutin	Alpha-Arbutin is an epimer of arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl alpha-glucopyranoside)	Inhibits tyrosinase to prevent the formation of melanin. Said to have a stronger effect than arbutin.	Melanin synthesis was reduced to 40% with 250 microg of alpha-arbutin.	Yes.
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate	A stable vitamin C derivative	Suppresses melanin formation and protects against skin damage caused by UVB rays.	A significant lightening effect was seen clinically in 19 of 34 patients with melasma and solar lentigos.	Yes.
Kojic acid	Derived from fungus	Suppresses tyrosinase activity.	Less efficacious than 2% hydroquinone. May cause contact dermatitis and erythema.	Yes.
Retin A/ Tretinoin	Retinoic acid/Vitamin A acid	Boosts epidermal turnover, which promotes keratinocyte proliferation. Discharges epidermal melanin but not dermal melanin.	Tretinoin was used as monotherapy in a study on 38 African- American patients with melasma and 68-73% of patients improved.	Yes.
Liquorice extract/Licorice extract	Glabridin	Inhibits tyrosinase activity (similar to kojic acid).	A combination product of 0.4% licorice extract, 0.05% betamethasone, and 0.05% retinoic acid was found to be effective in the treatment of melasma.	Yes.
Hydroquinone	An industrial chemical	Inhibits DNA synthesis and mitochondrial enzymes, has direct cytotoxic effects toward melanocytes. Also competes for tyrosine oxidation in active melanocytes.	One of the most effective inhibitors of melanogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Evidence of improvement is usually observed at 4-6 weeks. Tretinoin has been used to enhance the efficacy of hydroquinone.	Mostly safe, but risks exist. Exogenous ochronosis observed in black patients who have used high concentrations for years. Thus, it should be discontinued if no improvement occurs within 4-6 months.
Mulberry extract	Derived from root of paper mulberry plant (Morus alba root).	Inhibits tyrosinase activity.	Low concentrations shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity. Significantly lower compared to the concentrations needed for kojic acid and hydroquinone.	Yes.
Azelaic acid	Derived from yeast.	Inhibits DNA synthesis and mitochondrial enzymes, has direct cytotoxic effects toward melanocytes.	A 20% concentration of azelaic acid is equivalent to 2% hydroquinone. However, azelaic acid has no lightening effect on normally pigmented skin, freckles, senile lentigines, and nevi. It has selective effects on only abnormal melanocytes.	Yes.
Niacinamide	Vitamin B3, niacin, nicotinamide	Inhibits melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes.	In skin culture tests, niacinamide significantly inhibited the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes (by 25–45%; p activity.	Yes.
Salicylic acid	A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) used to make aspirin.	Increases cell turnover.	Effective on minor skin discolorations.	Yes, in lower concentrations only.
Undecylenoyl phenylalanine	Amino acid derivative. Commercial names include Skinwhite MSH and Sepiwhite MSH.	Acts as an antagonist to melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH). Prevents the start of melanin synthesis.	In testing, melanin levels were significantly reduced by 53% after 13 days.	Yes.
Topical corticosteroids	Several forms of corticosteroids include Hydrocortisone, Clobetasol Propionate, Fluocinolone Acetonide or Betamethasone Dipropionate.	Unknown. It is possible that steroids reduce the production of melanocyte stimulating hormones (MSH).	Fast temporary skin lightening, but prolonged use is dangerous.	No.
Monobenzone	Monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone	Permanently depigments normal skin.	Used for vitiligo patients.	Used for vitiligo patients only.
Mequinol	Monomethyl ether of hydroquinone	Cytotoxic to melanocytes.	Can be effective when used in conjunction with tretinoin.	Yes, in lower concentrations only.

on the Website they say u can use it 2x daily, am and pm. but you should combine it with some sort of vitamin C and retinol or chemical Peeling (not daily)
