Honestly, I've never even heard of whitening creams. I didn't even know they existed. If they're damaging to your skin/body, I'd say it's not worth using them. What about trying some sort of spray on tan/self-tanning lotion to even out the tan lines?
If I had tan lines that might work, but it's a dull reddish colour - kind of like I'm flushed but only on one part of my body!
whitening creams work - if you get real creams- some of them are harmful others actually work.
i cant remember the cream i used to have as a child, lemme do a few google searches and see if i can find them. we used it to even out our skin tones (any dark splotchy areas you put it on so it would even out with the lighter brown parts)
What about seeing a dermatologist? They might be able to offer some sort of laser treatment or something?
I recently got a patch of excema on my neck that turned a patch of skin on my neck a darker color than the rest of my neck. My doctor prescribed me a skin lightening cream and I can already see the difference and it has only been a week. My advice...see your doctor. He/she can prescribe a cream and give you the dosage. The last thing you want is to make the problem worse or to damage your skin with something from over the counter.
and if you dont want to do a lightening cream theres always dermablend!
I'm a really big fan of SKII products, particularly the masks. I honestly see results within one use of the masks. My acne scars are not as prominent.
I also use unrefined shea butter since it has wonderful healing properties that help with my scarring. Good luck!
Hi! I would also suggest going to a dermatologist, who would be able to best prescribe something that won't irritate your skin. Several of the skin-lightening products on the market are actually SPF based, as in - they prevent darkening instead of actually lightening (but if you put it on your face, it will have seemed to lighten compared to the rest of your body. My mom was a skin scientist, so I know a bunch of random stuff about this!). However, there are some lightening/bleaching ingredients that might aggravate certain skin tones and actually lighten and then darken the area for some people - such as hydroquinone on some Asian skin types. That's just as an example - I'm not sure if you are Asian - but my point is, a derm will be able to assess your skin and point you in the right direction. Good luck!
Definitely head to a derm. They'll be able to prescribe something effective and non-damaging. Sometime you really can't trust OTC products, especially those that have to do with altering the skin in anyway. You never know.
American versions of skin whitening products are called brighteners. I use a brightening mask by Mario Badescu to even out the acne scarring on my face. I honestly don't see that much difference, but it doesn't irritate me at all either.

My skin is very very pale, and I never sun tan because I'm terrified of skin cancer. I am usually very good about applying sun screen, but last summer FI and I were riding the Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls and somehow I applied enough on my back but not my front. At the end of the day I realized I was a red red lobster, but only in this square on my front where my shirt did not cover. Fast forward several months, obviously the burn has gone away, but my skin is still not back to its usual colour. When I wear regular clothes, it doesn't matter very much, but when I was trying on wedding dresses in November, I noticed that strapless or gowns that excentuate my bust also excentuate the colour difference between the burned and unburned part. It's not a HUGE difference, but it was enough for my friend to comment on it when she saw me in dresses.
Now, I live in a country where I see skin whitening creams ad naseum, and I'm usually against them when Korean women are being told they should look 'more white.' But I've recently been wondering if they might even out my skin tone disparity. However, I have absolutely no experience with these products and I'm hesitant to try them. Has anyone ever tried these products/tried to even out skin tone/used home remedies to fix small blemishes? I would rather use a natural solution, but I have no experience with those either. I certainly don't want to cause more harm to my skin!
