However, Biluma cream or for that matter any over-the-counter skin lightening cream might not help the stubborn cases of dark patches. You should consult a dermatologist in such cases.

Biluma cream has 6 potent skin-whitening ingredients, namely Kojic Acid Dipalmitate, Arbutin, Tocopherol or Vitamin E, Mulberry extracts, Liquorice, Tetrohydrocurcumin, and Artocarpus extract (Oxyreservetol 95%). Read how these ingredients help in reducing pigmentation in the next section. A common glycol that improves the freeze-thaw stability of products. It's also a solvent, humectant and to some extent a penetration enhancer. It does not have the very best safety reputation but in general, you do not have to worry about it. Liquorice has glabridin that prevents pigmentation by UVB rays and has an anti-inflammatory effect.Biluma is blended with 6 potent and proven skin-whitening ingredients with effective concentrations. Biluma cream contains kojic acid, which gives a very fast and effective result, that is visible from first use only. Arbutin is derived from berries and is used as a skin whitening agent.

What is true is that if a product contains so-called N-nitrogenating agents (e.g.: preservatives like 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol, 5-Bromo-5-Nitro- 1,3-Dioxane or sodium nitrate - so look out for things with nitro, nitra in the name) that together with TEA can form some not nice carcinogenic stuff (that is called nitrosamines). But with proper formulation that does not happen, TEA in itself is not a bad guy.

It should not be applied on a full face, until unless your full face has tanned. It can be used in oily skin because it does not contain comedogenic ingredients.

Who can use it? Dry to normal skin type prone to reduce pigmentation. It might feel greasy on oily skin. Arbutin seems to work its magic and hinder the pigmentation process at the second step of it. An enzyme called tyrosinase is needed to create melanin (the pigment that causesthe brown spots) and while several other skin lightening agents work to inhibit the synthesis of tyrosinase itself (like vitamin C or licorice), arbutin lets tyrosinase be and rather hinders the melanin-forming activity of the enzyme. (So it might be a good idea to combine arbutin with some direct tyrosinase inhibitors for more skin lightening effect.)
