    You might have to do chemical peels on them. I have the same problem, also wearing socks after you have applied you cream. I use the lactic acid peel and it has worked, but certain areas are still dark like my toes so I plan on doing a TCA peel which is strong.

    Hopefully this is helpful: I kind of had the same problem with my feet. All my other body parts seem to lighten easily, but these darn feet are so stubborn.

    To help this, I used the Wrap method for my feet. This method basically uses some form of plastic to promote absorption.

    Before Bed Time:
    1. I always take a warm bath (at least 20 mins) before I apply the lightening product to open up my pores.
    2. Apply the lightening product all over. Then I come back to my troublespot, the feet, and apply another thick layer.
    3. With either a plastic bag or saran wrap, I wrap my feet up to promote absorption. I then put on socks and leave them on until sometime in the afternoon the next day. And I do this every night before I go to sleep.

    I can't promise that this will work for you, but this has definitely helped me.

    Good Luck (=

    What percentage lactic acid did you use for your feet? Thanks

    I kind of rotated. First I used Esoterica. Then Neoprosone +Movate. Then Dr. Fred Summit, Bio Claire Body Lightening and a bit of lemon juice. Whatever you choose to use, I think the most important thing to make the method work is consistency.
