Which cream? can i use to?lighten my skin color?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydroquinone: Hydroquinone is a common substance used in over-the-counter and prescription medications. It will cause fading of skin color. However, the skin will often darken back if you do not use sunscreen so protect yourself. If your skin is darkening due to some underlying problem then you should have a dermatologist evaluate you.
