Re: What does work?
these are typically best for desi pigmentation -
mix 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 fresh squeezed lemon or lime (both have same whitening properites), 1/2 teaspoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder. mix all until smooth and apply liberally til neckline - try using all the paste. do this 30 mins before showering, then shower and wash off. and no, turmeric wont stain you for days to come if you wash ur face properly. do this 3-5 days a week.
the other days, use 1 egg, separate the white and yolk into diff bowls. beat the whites until foamy and apply onto face with fingers (dip em right in and rub on face like your putting on moisturizer) this has whitening properties. leave it on till it hardens, you'll know its time to wash when you can smile like this =D (abt 10 mins) then grab the yolk and prick it with a fork, take the liquid from the fork onto ur fingers and rub all over face. leave on for abt 10-15 mins (This is a natural moisturizer you will instantly feel it when you wash ur face) this one will harden too just like the whites. good luck.

Re: What does work?
these desi recipies don't really work for pigmentation. or even if they do it will take ages. u need some good exfoliants and effective skin lightening products.
