Do we know... ?

Do we know everything because I am so scared that we don't live in Korea, so what effect will these products have on us later in life. Because I live in the Netherlands, so below sealevel no mountains or anything. I am a redhead, so I am already so white that you can see thru my skin.in Korea, the beauty is being white, so bleaching is common in Korea. Yes, I did my homework, and that seriously is scaring me. Because young people are using products like these. That us why all the brands have sunscreen in their brand. It is a real hype, and you see websites popping up like mushrooms selling all kinds of Korean skincare. Where is the warning list for people who live in different countries, have different skin colors, don't want to lose their freckles because some products will bleach freckles. Where do we really learn which product is really good for us? Sorry, I needed to get this of my chest. Who is looking out for us people who just put this on their face because you have gotten it for free?

The same way there are products for different types of skin, there are for different skin concerns. If you don't want to bleach your face, I recommend you don't buy any creams, serums or toners that promote skin whitening/brightening; which could also mean that you would have to avoid using Vitamin C. Almost ALL the beauty products that are sold have been tested properly from dermatologists, and NO country would import items that are damaging to people's health. This is the reason why beauty products are being tested not only when being created but also when they hit the market. The Yuka app is a good way to see for yourself which products are safe to use, and what their ingredients really are. Also, SPF protection is almost in every product because the doctors, scientists, and dermatologists noticed that people don't use the recommended amount. So, instead of trying to convince us (good luck with that), they put SPF in everything. Please, read about products from official sites.

Topicals bought on the shelf can't get rid of freckles. This is a non-issue. Are you new to Korean skincare?

As with any product, the consumer uses it at their own risk so, it's our responsibility to do the research beforehand. As for skin bleaching is common in Korea, I honestly don't have a clue but I do believe the use of SPF is very important regardless of where one lives.

to be blunt, it's impossible to remove freckles with anything you can buy online, let alone kbeauty. there are regulations in place to prevent dangerous products being sold, and as far as spf goes, korea is actually known for having some of the most effective and cosmetically elegant sunscreen filters on the market

I think the most important thing is to check the ingredient list of any skincare product you intend to buy. This doesn't just apply to kbeauty products. Incidecoder even categorizes the ingredients by function. So if you don't want brightening, then avoid those with brightening ingredients. I think that will automatically take out the ones that are may 'bleach' the skin. And on the sunscreen topic, I believe anyone, regardless of color, will need daily spf protection primarily for concerns over skin cancer. US and Australian sunscreens are just as famous as Korean (or Japanese) sunscreens. I think Australians are even more serious about their sunscreens and I don't think whitening is a trend there.
