Skin Lightening Creams

Creams with hydroquinone (usually 2 to 4%) typically lighten the skin fastest as they block an enzyme involved with pigmentation. Other compounds like kojic acid and over the counter creams may take longer to see results. Consult with your plastic surgeon or dermatologist on this one as certain skin types don't lghten as fast. Hydroquinone preparations take about 4-6 weeks to start working.
