Recommendations for Caring for Dark Spots from Mosquito Bites

Hello! I understand you're interested in using oils on your skin to help reduce dark spots from mosquito bites, and you prefer an oil texture.

Generally, essential oils may not be the most effective option for reducing dark spots compared to dedicated whitening agents. If you prefer the feel of oil and don't like creams or gels, using a whitening agent that can be mixed into a base oil would be a more targeted approach.

Based on the information found, many highly effective whitening agents, such as Tranexamic Acid, GlyciWhite™, or Hexylresorcinol AF, are typically water-soluble. This means mixing them directly into a simple base oil can be difficult or requires special formulation techniques (like creating an emulsion).

Therefore, if you still wish to use oil for skin conditioning and to help with dark spots, here are some suggestions:

• Use a Base Oil: You can use a base oil that provides moisture and helps soften the skin, such as Mineral Oil or C12-15 alkyl benzoate Gel, which is an oil gel base. However, these base oils may not have significant direct dark spot reducing properties on their own.
• Use in Conjunction with Specialized Whitening Products: For the best results in reducing dark spots, it is recommended to use a serum or cream product containing effective whitening agents. Apply these products to the skin before applying oil, or use them in conjunction. These whitening agents will be more effective at reducing melanin production.

In summary, while essential oils have various benefits, for the specific issue of dark spots, dedicated whitening agents are generally more effective. If you wish to use an oil format, you might consider using it alongside water-soluble whitening agents in a suitable product format, or use a base oil for conditioning in parallel.
