I have lots of dark spots on my face, due to hyperpigmentation left from acne. I also have tiny widespread, dark spots along my right arm, breasts, and back due to a rash caused by an allergic reaction. In addition to all of that, I also have a ton of dark spots on my lower legs, and dark elbows and dark knees.

What can I use to get an even complexion on my body area and what can I use to get an even complexion for my oily, acne-prone face? Also, please don't suggest anything with hyrdoquinone and if you list products can you please tell me where I can buy it from and the price range? Thanks. :)

Have you though about using a skin peel ?
I had a scar on my arm that was removed using a tca peel from ebay.

Obviously you have to use it with caution and make sure you follow the instructions to the letter to avoid making the situation worse, but is great for the body.

You have to take into account that using peels on the face may require that you have some "downtime", where the skin is shedding so you may not want to be seen out.

You also have to remember that skin peeling leaves the skin more sensitive, so a good sun cream/ block is essential.

Thanks for answering.

Approximately how much downtime will I need? I'm a teenager and go to school everyday. Also, if I use the peel, can I still use my acne products and makeup (mainly foundation)?
