Would a Vi Peel be a good treatment to lighten my darkening skin?

Game21Aug 17, 2017
I was born with a white skin, Now i'm 24 years old and i'm way darker than i used to be, even my face and neck are darker than my chest and other covered skin, also i have some melasma and pigments from old acne, I'm really depressed and i hate the fake color i have. I heard some about hydroquinone and mainly (Obagi System), but i also heard that skin would be even darker if i stop the hydroquinone, is Vi Peel a good non risky treatment ? Please what is the best treatment for me?

Thank you for your question. no, once you start peeling it is not advised to use to the post peel towelettes. start using the post peel cream and SPF as directed.

Thank you for your question. yes the towelettes should be saturated (with Vitamin A and Vitamin C). if they are dry, the packaging was probably compromised. have your providers replace them for you asap as all of the towelettes should be used within the first 48 hours.
