Brown spots, melasma, freckles. These are all words to describe areas of the skin that are pigmented due to sun exposure, medications, or genetics. Bleaching products are used to suppress pigmentation in order to lighten hyperpigmented areas. The three best ingredients being used in bleaching creams are Hydroquinone, Kojic acid, and Mandelic Acid.
The least invasive way to treat hyperpigmentation is by bleaching. More invasive ways to treat hyperpigmentation are chemical peels or laser surgery. It is best to try different bleaching creams first and if you aren't seeing the results you desire after three to six months, consider your other options.
