    What's with papaya? Does it really whiten the skin?
    Hi, I'm doing my concept paper about whitening products, especially those with papaya..

    I would like to know how does papaya whiten our skin (or does it really whiten the skin?)

    And how do experts say that green papaya is better than orange papaya when it comes to whitening the skin?

    Please.. I really need you help... can anyone here explain to me the "whitening wonders" of papaya? Please... :(

    And one more thing... why does people go for whitening products with papaya than those without it? Is papaya really a big deal in whitening our skin?

    I really need it for my paper.. so please help me... thanks... :o

    Papaya contains an enzyme called papaine which helps in skin exfoliation. It's the same papaine enzyme that is used as meat tenderizer. Technically, papaya extract cannot be considered as a skin whitener because it does not suppress melanin formation. As an exfoliant, papaine accelerates skin turnover so there is this apparent lightening effect with newer, creamier skin on the surface. This effect though is shortlived if sunblock and melanin suppresants are not applied with papaya extract.

    It really does NOT matter whether the papaine enzyme comes from green or orange or yellow papaya. What matters is the level of papaine enzyme in the product. Again, the benefit from papaya extract is exfoliation, not whitening.

    Guys I have a better formula without any side effect its herbal. And after applying that you need not to go for skin bleaching creams. Because it will destroy the melanin glands neutrally.

    It will take 6 month to remove your melanin forming glands and after 6 month you will lost all melanin glands and you will looks whiter forever.

    Just remember WHO is having all solution for common peoples, they are making medicines to suppress the diseases not curing it.

    They have all problem's solutions but they are not instruct to publish it.

    We have total control over our physiology but... leave it...
