Does melalite 15 helps me to lighten up my skin around my mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Hydroquinone is best used 1 month on, 1 month off. Continuous use may result in paradoxical darkening. Use sunscreen daily. Avoid irritation, friction, or heat on the area as these may darken the skin. Do not get lime juice on it (mexican beer syndrome) which darkens skin on exposure to sun.
