▪️Intimate area lightening creams
Just have a regular moisturiser and body wash. Clean the intimate area with just plain water.
No special wash or creams are required

▪️Collagen creams
Collagen molecule is too large to penetrate the skin.
Better to use retinol creams with peptides

▪️Vitamin C powders
Powders can cause uneven distribution of powder in the solvent and cause irritation to skin. Avoid vitamin c powders. Better to use a vitamin c serum. If you are a beginner start with 5-10 % vitamin c. Avoid if you have active acne.
