A combination product including hydroquinone, kojic acid ,tretinoin and a steroid would be more effective.IPL or laser such as q switched yag would be a good option.
Using lemon juice tolighten dark spots is one of those tall tales that we still hear about fromtime to time. The acid in the juice may help exfoliate the skin but it hasnever been shown to lighten dark spots of any significance. I would stronglyrecommend that you consult a board-certified dermatologist to first examine thedark spots to determine why you have them and then to develop a skin careregimen to make them go away. Occasionally, this may require the use of peelsor lasers, but we want to always start with skin care.
