    The dark spot, when treated with beauty product, will be lighter than your normal color face, and the area not treated will continue to be discolored, even darker. So beware using one of those treatments!

    There are many colors of skin diseases. Since I am not a doctor and can't see your dark spots.

    I had Discoid Lupus, caused from the sun, my dermatologist did a biopsy. If you haven't had a doctor recommend you a DERMATOLOGIST, I suggest you visit him. How I got Discoid Lupus, when I've been protecting my skin from the sun since age 9? Beats me! I got it. No product can remove skin disease like magic, just like that. For me, it took 12 years of continually protecting my skin from the sun, by wearing a hat, or umbrella more than ever. It took 12 years for the corner patch of my chin (that looked like someone punched me), to fade away.

    Any skin-lightening products containing hydroquinone would be considered new drugs, according to the proposed FDA regulations. The products would require FDA approval before being sold to the public and would only be available with a doctor's prescription.

    Skin Creams, Gels, Soaps and Lotions Marketed as Skin Lighteners and Anti-aging Treatments: May Contain the Toxic Metal, Mercury.

    Example: “So i used this kojic soap and it really lightens my face to the point that it doesnt match in my neck.. please help me :( Ill die in humiliation! ;( How to get my skin back? Or is there a darkening soap? Hehe. Pleaseee. How can i darken my face :((“

    One YA poster used lemon on her skin: "i use 2 put lemon (or lime) on my face mostly my chin area, and wat happend it dried it out and actually made it look darker and now looks discolored…"

    Another example: "When I used hydroquinone for the first day my skin got so light. On second night I applied it and when I got up in the morning my face was so red and warm. So I stop using it. Today is about a week from that day and redness is not that bad but face skin color is pink and darker but warm. Can it be lighter soon naturally or need something to make it lighter? I can see very difference between my face and neck. Please help!"

    Example from YA!: “I’m a dark skin african america girl. About a year ago, I used a cream that called itself being a "Dark spot remover" to help with acne scars from a brand I won't name. It was too strong, and it bleached my whole face, I was also using a Koji-san soap. I stopped use of both after two weeks after seeing the damage. It's been a year since I stopped using any lightening agents, and the front part of my face where i applied the lighteners is still a bit lighter than the sides where I didn't apply anything.”

    25% of the sun damage occurs by age 18.

    SMOOTHER, SILKIER, SOFTER SKIN: use a wash cloth to exfoliate you skin (top to bottom) using body wash each time you take a shower.
