    Skin lightening products in the uk
    Hi,

    I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times, but IS there skin lightening products sold in the uk that ACTUALLY work?

    I have reasearched for years and understand that since 2006 HQ products have been banned in the uk, and I am also aware that many of our trusted brands which used to contain 2% HQ have been repackeged and reformulated and are less effective to the point that many of us have gone darker (much darker in some cases).

    Many of the brands being mentioned I believe are US or Americas purchased, because although here in the uk we can buy the product it has been "repackaged" and very ineffective. I have gone around so many shops and can't seem to find anything that works and have spent lost of money toboot! The other day I saw a woman spend £60 on products... I am considering trying Obagi NuDerm products which contain 4% HQ but understand I have to have a consultation with the DR which is free and apperantly he's black... I don't have really bad skin conditions but want to look lighter and brighter at least by 4 shades (mac NC50 as opposed to NW50) because since using Fair & White seurem I have gone dull and I noticed that they changed the name from lightening to brightening. I don't know what to tell the DR and don't really want to have a face to face consultation and end up with nothing but a referral to a phychologist! I also don't want to buy under the counter products that after a few months are stopped and be back to square one.

    Can any one advice?
