    What is the best skin lightener for dark skin?
    I don't exactly have dark skin I guess. I'm Filipino but I'd like to be a bit lighter
    Because personally (for me) I'd like lighter skin
    So it'd be really great if you guys could help <33
    I've been having so much trouble finding some!

    I've read about:
    Makari
    Belo essentials
    Fair&White
    Porcelena Day skin Whitener

    But that's it for the ones that sound like they might work!
    I've heard bad reviews though about Fair&White and Makari, that people break out badly from them.
    If someone could give me links or something like advice or reviews I'd REALLY appreciate it!
    Any kind of good whitening products (preferably fast) would be appreciated <33
    Like soap,bodywash,cream,lotion, etc.

    I would say that a combination of good sunscreen(with spf > 50) and AHA(glycolic acid) will lighten your skin. Also it is the safest way.
    Azelaic acid can do wonders because it can inhibit melanin as well as kill the bacteria which causes acne.
    However a proper scrub(coffee powder is cheap and ameliorating to the skin) and removal of keratin layer must be done.
    I have used almost all fairness brands sold at malls but they aren't a pint as effective as those I buy at the chemist.
    Also you can use vitamin C serum( (preparation for cost effectiveness)crush a vitamin C tablet and blend it with vitamin E oil) to further brighten you and decrease melanin load.
