The obsession with white skin is not new. We often come across statements like “If only she was fairer”. Until now, billboards show top celebrities, mostly born white, endorsing skin-whitening products with recurring themes of “white is better.” In short, the standard of beauty certainly still favors lighter skin. Generally, this preference for lighter skin tones is a form of discrimination known as colorism.

By 2027, the global market for skin whitening products is estimated to reach $12.3 billion. Also, these numbers don’t include black market or misused products. Since skin-whitening products are largely unregulated, a lot of these products are out on the market with little to no medical evidence.

As a consequence, people around the globe risk their health by using skin whitening products that may contain toxic chemicals like steroids, mercury, and hydroquinone. While some are legally found, those products are typically prescribed and intended for short-term use only. Also, they must meet strict requirements for ingredient concentration, labeling, and storage. On the other hand, there are continued reports about toxic skin products and their reaction to the skin.

Though often rooted in colorism, reasons for using skin whitening products still vary for each individual. Thus, Real Research launched a survey to seek the public’s opinion on commercial toxic skin-whitening products. It asks respondents about their opinion on the use of skin whitening products and the possible effects it may have on consumers of these products.

Hence, hurry and answer the survey on survey on toxic skin-whitening products on the Real Research app from June 28, 2022. After that, you will receive 12 TNC as a reward.
