I'm black and i have a chocolate complexion. Currently areas of my skin have been discoloured due to exposure to the sun. People have advised me to use bleach creams to solve the problem, but i have discovered that i'd have to use these creams constantly to prevent the darkening from reappearing and if i don't the darkening would even get worse. i'd like a natural and safe remedy. thank you.
Answer: Natural Lightening. If you wish to avoid use of hydroquinone, consider use of glycolic acid creams or cleansers, Kojic acid 5%, and also vitamin C containing creams and serums. The most important thing to do is avoid sun exposure and use of sunscreen daily, SPF 30 minimum.

Answer: Skin lightening without use of Bleaching creams Unfortunately there is no product or treatment that will permanently affect the skin's color since the skin cells are constantly turning over and are continuously affected by sun exposure and hormonal changes. The safest approach is to use sunscreen multiple times daily to prevent any sun related pigmentation and to use mild agents like glycolic acid, vitamin C, or other fruit acids to help exfoliate the skin and help even out pigmentation. We have a non-bleaching cream called Lytera that works well and avoids some of the risks of prescription hydroquinone, but it still may need to be used on an ongoing basis for the best results.
