    What over the counter CVS products are good?
    Do you guys use any of the CVS products? Avenno has a product that contains hq (low level). I heard Garnier, Palmers, and Ponds make some lightening products. Any ideas?

    Well what are you trynna do, remove acne marks, because that's all your going to be able to do using those products there all like 2% HQ, now if you want drastic skin lightening then your going to need something stronger, go see a dermatologist, they will be able to presribe you something stronger, its going to cost you though!

    The palmers looks like it could work. I hope it doesn't have any HQ in it like the Avenno. I am probably going to purchase some off Amazon and see if it works. It's worth a try. I am too scared of those Philippines cream. Shady stuff.

    I have used Palmers. Sadly it did not do anything for me. The texture of the product was also a little too greasy for my liking.

    Wait wouldn't kojic acid be an active ingredient? Why doesn't it mention it on my bottle?

    I use Aveeno for my daily routine scrubs/ facials.

    HQ is not listed as an ingredient.
    Soy Bean, Gly.. etc

    I use the Avenno even complexion foam. It says HQ 2% on the back.

    Palmers yes has HQ in it. Ponds and Garnier skin lightening line aren't available in the U.S. though. You'd have to get it off eBay or another online seller.
