Can 'Multani Mitti' really whiten skin fast?
Dr Sachin Gupta of Amrita Hospital clarifies that 'Multani-Mitti' based recipe lacks any biochemical mechanism to alter melanin synthesis. Ingredients like alum or lemon may disrupt the skin barrier and cause irritation. As melanin is genetically determined, topical remedies cannot change tone.
