A member asked:

What is the alternative medicine for lightening and brightening of skin instead of using melacare that causes no side effects to the skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: What are you treating? Melacare is relatively less expensive, relatively effective, and generally safe. I don't think you will do better.
