What Is Skin Whitening?

In Korea, "skin whitening" refers not to bleaching, but to brightening and evening the skin tone by reducing:

  • Dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Post-inflammatory marks (from acne or injury)
  • Melasma and sun spots
  • General dullness and lack of radiance

The goal is glowing, even, and healthy skin—not unnatural lightening.
