Whatever cream or lotion I use ,makes my skin bright for few seconds and after a while it gets darker. So suggest me some lotion or cream that makes my skin brighter.

I have used a lot of creams and I swear the best one I ever used was

DR FRED PALMER SKIN WHITENER

It works wonders... but it's a little too greasy other than that... it will brighten and lighten your skin... try it... its about $10

Hydroquinone


Are you not afraid to use toxic chemicals on your body that could be detrimental to both your health and your skin? I don't use anything with that ingredient because I had a friend who did in high school and now she has black patches of skin on her cheeks. She has to wear a lot of foundation to cover it up and you can still see the dark patches.

I wrote this before in a different post, may be she was doing something wrong, let me tell you I burned from kojic, natural or not if you over do any thing you will pay, lemon can scar you, you can damage your skin with any thing if you're using it wrong'
Here was my post
When something is banned in certain countries does not mean it is bad, Canada has the best health care for course no comparison between America and Canada especially in health care , Canada is the best and 4% Hydroquinone can be bought over the counter, so all the talk about it being bad is wrong, and the drugs legislations in every country is different but does not mean the drugs that are banned are bad it is just policy an money, if you read about DS it is not approved by the FDA just like millions of other good products that are banned or not approved while they are effective and by the way every one is saying now use Kojic, it is natural do not use HQ, there're a lot of studies out saying that Kojic acid might cause cancer so this catchy word (natural) is just over used and to tell you the truth I hate it I feel the seller always wants to deceive me when they say that, and all the products on TV by the way are not approved by the FDA not because they are all bad, it is just they don't want to spend a lot of money in searching to see if they're good or bad. And about HQ you just have to follow the instructions like other creams, do not use for a long time if you don't see results and if you do you just have to follow about when to use it and when not just like RetinA, you can not use RetinA all the 12 months of the year and using retinA and HQ by the way give the best results. Any whitening product when you stop the melanin will be soooo happy to come back so it is very natural to find yourself darker.
HQ is not good for pregnant women just like Retin A and other products, because they don't know how it might harm the baby.

I was actually answering the previous posters question, as opposed to recommending it to anyone.

However I have used Hq products before in the past, without actually realisng it, often because some companies failed to state the full ingredients or disguised it with unfamiliar abbreviations. I did not have any adverse reactions fortunately. I know why people are happy to use HQ, as the results often speak for themselves as opposed to natural alternatives, where sometimes small or minimal results are seen. I would actually be interested to know whether anyone is actually using something that is natural and has seen significant results.

Personally I would never say no to using HQ again, although I do wish there was an alternative, but at the end of the day I know it works.
