Re: skin

^ i second tea tree.

but near my wedding i found something better. witch hazel. but not the one for spots. the antiseptic witch hazel gel for cuts and burns. it's amazing!

oh and it's 81.5% liquid extract of W.H in and aqueous gel base.. so nothing funky that will mess up your skin.

Re: skin

The most effective way to get rid of spots is with hydroquinone (HQ). HQ is a substance used to fade out spots and is usually found in a concentration of 2% in commercial products. Unfortunately this is not a strong enough concentration and it takes longer to fade out the spots. You can get a cream with a 4% concentration of HQ from the dermatologist. Be sure to wear sunscreen when going out in the sun if you use HQ containing products. A dermatologist is the best person to consult regarding this skin problem because he/she can analyze your skin and recommend the best lightening treatment (HQ, chemical peel, or laser).

You can try all these home remedies such as applying yogurt, lemon, haldi, besan, on your skin. And while these remedies do help bleach the skin.........they take TOOOO LONG to produce any dramatic results. This is because the spots on your face are made of several layers of skin.......and doctor recommended products are strong enough to penetrate the layers of skin and give faster results.
