Using South Beach lighting cream for spots/stains (lighten, color, product)

[mikey713]

I found this lotion with good reveiws to lighten up areas and make them more symmetrical to skin color around it. Will this be a good idea? Does it work. What other products would you recommend?

I would try to exfoliate first and use a facial lotion to hydrate before putting heavy duty chemicals on your skin. Also look at your food intake. Getting enough calcium and vitamin e can really improve the skin if you are lacking on it currently. Most women are a little low in calcium.

Im on that routine already.

You have to be doing it steady for at least 3-6 months if you just started. Real fixes can take time. I would save up and go to a dermatologist to get a peel before using a lightening cream. Just in case that cream turns out to be really unhealthy or bleaches your skin wrong. Even an apt at the derm could tell you if that type of product would help you.

That product does look interesting if it does work. I want the armpit version! LOL
Let us know if you do try any of it out.
