Active Ingredients: Whitening creams typically contain active ingredients that target pigmentation issues. Some common ingredients include hydroquinone, kojic acid, alpha arbutin, glycolic acid, and vitamin C.

Sunscreen: Many whitening creams contain sunscreen ingredients (like SPF) to protect the skin from further sun damage. Sun exposure can worsen existing hyperpigmentation.

Moisturizing Agents: Whitening creams often include moisturizing agents to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness, which can exacerbate skin issues.
