    Hey, I used to live in africa, and I'm surprised you can't find any skin lightening creams because they're all over. Ne e way I'm in canada and right now I'm using a cream called G&G skin lightening. And so far its working pretty well. But the difference is that there's like no sun up here so it doesn't interfere with the lightening process. In your case however, you probably need to stay out of the sun as much as possible. What part of Africa do you live in. If its west africa then go to any market place and ask for either Bio claire or G&G skin lightening. Trust me they will know what your talking about

    Bio Claire and G&G are known to be poisonous and toxic, they are manufactured from the Nouvelle Parfumerie Gandour company. Best to leave those alone unless you want to suffer health problems. Bio Claire contains high levels of Clobetasol Propionate (toxic steroid) and I wouldn't be surprised G&G contains the same. That is why they lighten due to adulterated products containing high amounts of steroids. There are threads here written about dangerous products like these.

    There are several other safer lightening products that can make you lighten well and safely, you just have to take the time and read through the threads.
