Has anyone used meladerm on afro-american or hispanic skin - for how long-and what were the results? I want to try this product very much, but I need more clarity.

And, can anyone tell me if it can be purchased over the counter or buy prescription.
I do not use credit cards and I have only found online retailers. Can anyone help find a retailer somewhere between Indiana and chicago?

I am hispanic with medium complexion, not very dark. I used this product when I was in my early 20's, I am not 55. It evened out my complexion, made my skin oily but never gave me any blotches. But, I remember a determologist told me that this skin bleaching product could leave your skin with blotches. It definaly did lighten my skin. You should not be in the sun when using it. I don't remember how long it lasted but I am guessing a couple of months. I would suggest you ask a determologist or look up the product on line asking for (side effects).
