What Does It Do For Your Skin? 
Amos White 7 Days Whitening Anti-spot Night Cream is a face cream. It lightens the skin while also removing unsightly spots and blemishes. Its manufacturers have taken the pains to label it a "night cream" which means that it should only be used at night or in the evenings before bedtime. This is because it contains Arbutin a skin-lightening agent that is sensitive to Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. 

This means that using the product and exposing your skin to sunlight is potentially hazardous and can lead to serious damage including skin cancer. Arbutin limits the production of melanin a natural substance produced by the skin to protect the body from dangerous ultraviolet rays.





How Does It Work?

Its action is based on three elements: Arbutin, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin C. Each element working alone and in combination brings so many skin care benefits to the table. 

Aloe Vera is a natural healing agent. It contains antioxidants and antimicrobial agents that protect the skin. It offers skin soothing and rejuvenation benefits among many others. It is derived from the plant Aloe Vera Bardanensis Miller which is a species of Aloe that's most commonly used in cosmetics and skin care. Despite what many people think the Aloe plant does not relate to cactus although it appears similar in structure.

Vitamin C is a protective ingredient that promotes healthy skin and healing with anti-oxidant properties. It helps protect the skin from sun damage caused by radiation although it is not a replacement or substitute for sunscreen. It can also eliminate the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, unsightly spots, blemishes, and scars.

Arbutin evens out skin tone and removes spots and blemishes. It is derived from the Bearberry plant and is closely related to Hydroquinone and similar in its action. The downside is that it is more expensive.

Other Benefits?

The effect of Amos White Spot Remover Night Cream may not be as dramatic as some other products in the market because of its slower rate of action. Consumers often make the mistake of assuming that the product "doesn’t work”. It is important to remember that products with aggressive lightening agents such as Hydroquinone or Licorice are not always the best for some skin types.

Those with sensitive skin will most likely appreciate a product that is gentle but achieves good results over time and Amos White 7 Days Whitening Anti-spot Night Cream is very good for exactly that.

How Expensive Is It?

Amos White Spot Remover Night Cream is priced at about N3,000 or $30 at current exchange rates based on the most recent market survey.

What To Avoid

Amos White 7 Days Whitening Anti-spot Night Cream is a night cream and consumers should strictly adhere to this directive to avoid skin damage.

This means that using the product and exposing your skin to sunlight is potentially hazardous and can lead to serious damage including skin cancer. Arbutin limits the production of Melanin (a natural substance produced by the skin to protect the body from dangerous ultraviolet rays). This limits production of Melanin which exposes the skin to more radiation with the increased possibility of skin damage 


Conclusion

Amos White 7 Days Whitening Anti-spot Night Cream is effective if used as directed. Consumers who are in a hurry for instant results usually end up creating more problems for themselves. The best results are often achieved through consistent treatment over time. This product will help you achieve the best complexion for your skin.

Please use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF50 or more. Apply it regularly and generously especially when you are outdoors. Use as directed by the manufacturer.

What are Free Radicals? What does it mean for your skin?

Free-radicals Everywhere

Have you ever read on the label of a skincare product or a moisturizer or cream that claims to “Fight Free Radicals”? Have you always wondered what that means? Well, our skin is the battlefield for sub-atomic warfare between positive and negatively charged particles and we will explain why it's important and how it affects your skin.


  

What Are Free Radicals?

Free Radicals are tiny particles or molecules floating in the atmosphere. They are generated by all kinds of spontaneous chemical reactions that are taking place continuously in our environment. Some simple examples include combustion and oxidation processes. Think of the smoke coming out of a factory or an automobile. These contain innumerable particles with free radicals being released into the atmosphere.

The by-products of chemical reactions that are no longer useful are called waste. When waste is released indiscriminately into the environment it's called a pollutant. Pollutants are very unstable because they lack electrons. They can only stabilize by “stealing” electrons from other objects close to them. This is what makes free-radical so damaging to the skin. They can disrupt the skin's natural chemical balance leading to irritation, spots, blemishes, acne, wrinkles, sagging, and more. Free radicals accelerate the aging process.




Just as free radicals can lead to the degradation of physical objects like metals, clothing, and paint they can also harm human skin which can become broken and damaged as a result. Think of It as being similar to the rusting of metal.

Fighting Free-radicals

Anti-oxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals. Some examples are Vitamin C, Vitamin E , Vitamin B³ (Niacinamide), AHA (Alpha-hydroxy acid) BHA (Beta-hydroxy acid), and many others. They protect the skin by donating an electron to free radicals. The skin's natural defenses are usually not sufficient to protect itself and this makes lotions, creams, and serums very important in supporting our natural defenses. It's important to include products that neutralize free radicals in your daily skincare routine.
