A member asked:
Can someone reverse hyper pigmentation on skin naturally by increasing water intake? i said yes, friend said its no help. who's correct?

No: Skin color changes can remain the same, can get lighter, or can get darker, regardless of the amount of water one drinks. Drinking more water does not make skin color lighter.

Friend is right: Hyperpigmented skin will not likely resolve with increased water intake.
