I'm wondering if there's a tablet that can help with skin whitening. Are there any side effects I should worry about while using it or even after? Could you give me some advice on this?
Certain tablets like Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Meladerm claim to promote skin whitening, but their effectiveness and safety vary, and potential side effects may include digestive issues, allergic reactions, and skin sensitivity, so consult a dermatologist before using any skin whitening tablets, as they can recommend safer and more effective alternatives, such as topical creams or professional treatments.
