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

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?
