Although everyone else thinks that Civant's melederm can't be used to lighten the OVERALL complexion, I emailed the customer service people about it, and this is what they said:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. The Melederm Complex works very well to
brighten the overall skin tone by lightening hyperpigmented skin. Though
there are some whitening effects of the product after extended use, we
do not recommend you use the cream for sole purpose of lightening your
natural skin tone by a large degree. Removing large amounts of your
normal skin color (through the use of any skin lightening cream) will
decrease your skin's natural defense against ultraviolet light which can
lead to excessive sun sensitivity and skin irritation. We do, however,
encourage customers to use the product to restore/brighten skin that has
been darkened by hyperpigmentation. If you have any other questions,
please email us again.
Sincerely,
Customer Service

What do you all think about using melederm now? (Some of this was a little confusing.) Also, I don't think a new product is actually going to be released.
