Vtoodler asked "if ANYTHING had worked for me" since I gave the impression of badmouthing every product mentioned

I started with hydroquione. That evened me out but didnt lighten me. It took away those acne scars I had from highschool.
What really worked for me (that I saw results) was a combination of exfoliating (scrub) and a series of weekly lactic peels. Exfoliating helps to remove the dull, pigmented layer of skin ontop that builds up over the years to sun exposure so naturally the skin is lighter underneath. Now, I wont say this is a miracle to lighten but it helped brighten up my face. My face is lighter than my neck at this point since I do nothing to my neck and the rest of my body is much lighter since it never gets sun exposure (like my hands, chest, and legs).
