    use of substances to lighten skin by reducing melanin

    Skin whitening, also known as skin lightening or skin bleaching, refers to the practice of using chemical substances or natural products to lighten the skin tone or achieve a more even complexion by reducing the melanin concentration in the skin. This can involve the use of topical treatments, oral medications, or cosmetic procedures, and is often sought for aesthetic reasons or to address hyperpigmentation issues such as age spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
