And what are you trying to achieve ?

If you have darker skin but don't want to use anything like HQ or similar, then you will find it diffficult to attain any real lightening AND any sort of lightening achieved will take much longer than on lighter complexions.

i have tried sooo many products from ella bache,euoko,bliss,nucelle,latic/glycolic peels,alpha -hi could go on but you get the drift lol

none of them provide skin lightening all they do is brighten up the skin theres a big difference

i then reluctantly tried HQ as nothing else worked it iwis the only thing that worked and believe me when i say the area was a dark colour like alec wek and im now seeing improvement
alot of products have HQ in them but the formulation in some are dreadful and irritate the hell out of your skin fair and white is one of them NEVER AGAIN!

i use obagi c system 10% professional strength Vitamin C with prescription strength 4% Hydroquinone
i had no irritation at all with it i used it on my body i am now in the process of using the cream on my face
