I agree with the kojic acid. Some say kojic acid is carcinogenic, but I believe it's a lot safer than the other stuff on the market. I never tried Fair and White.

You know, I really don't know. I believe on of the girls on this forum is trying it out though. I know it helps slough off the top layers of skin so it is good for dark spots and stuff. So I would think that it does help in the lightening process by letting whatever other product you use sink into your skin deeper.

You don't need a prescription. I got mine at cwimedical.com. I warn you it taste pretty awful very sweet and syrupy. But I believe it works well if taken religiously

The papaya kojic soap is pretty good. But, I wonder how I will do if I purchased the raw ingredient and used it in formulas like lotion and my own soap? So, that way in the long run the costs will be lower
