Which skin lightening products would safely help me achieve a lighter complexion?

Gorgeous798659
We're always told to only use skin lightning products on our faces but not on our body. I feel as though we are being gatekept from finding safe products that can help us lighten our skin. When we lighten our faces our bodies will be darker. I don't understand how caucasians have the option to tan but for us to lighten our skin all we're told is don't use on your body just on spots. Can a dermatologist please recommend safe products we can use to achieve lighter complexion?
