Please recommend the best essential oils for skin lightening?

Skin lightening: Pharmaceutical grade skin lighteners may be more effective. Have your skin evaluated by a board certified physician who can make recommendations to you.

None: I do not know of any essential oils proven to lighten skin. There are some over the counter products that can have a mild effect on skin tone. More powerful medications are by prescription only.
