What are the best/fastest ways to get rid of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) on African-american skin?


I know that hydroquinone helps, but it's pretty expensive. Any other remedies?
----------

i would suggest using palmers ' eventone' brand.. it is very safe, contains sunscreen to prevent discolouration from reoccuring and the results are good. any product containing hydroquinone is dangerous.. it can effectively kill plenty of the melanin cells this makes ur skin more prone to UV radiation..this is why you shouldnt use any lightening cream that doesnt have sunscreen.. P.S palmers eventone does not lighten ur skin..it jus blends it all very nicely :) hope i helped  (+ info)

My skin is so sensitive and of dry nature. I've used aelovera, potato and some of the creams directed by doctors. But they all reacted to my skin and the patches gone more darker.

These are home remedies may be they will help


1 : Oatmeal Exfoliater
Exfoliating the skin with equal parts brown sugar, milk and oatmeal is useful in ridding the skin of dead cells and can lighten spots with pigmentation caused by the sun.

2 : White Vinegar
Clean the face with white vinegar diluted in water, rinse, and then let the skin dry naturally. The acetic acid in vinegar helps to reduce the dark coloring.


3 : Fruit and Vegetable Juice
Lemon juice and tomato juice are both home remedies for hyperpigmentation. They are so acidic that they dissolve the upper layers of the skin and remove the tan spots.

4 : Almonds
Almonds are one of the best cures for tan spots. Soak the almonds overnight and grind them into a paste by adding milk. Apply the paste to the dark spots.

5 : Sunscreen
Use of sunscreens of at least a protective factor of 15 is the first step in preventing hyperpigmentation. Once should always apply sunscreen when going outdoors. The sun is harsh on the skin even during the cold months of the year  (+ info)

What can I use to lighten hyperpigmentation?


I used to have kinda bad acne, not anymore but now I have some brown spots here and there.
----------

I have the same problem, I went to a dermatologist. A doctor can give you the right type of medication that works. B/c I tried many things on my own that did not work, and I wasted a lot of money on these home remedies. You can try ProActiv toners and bleaching cream. But if you spots are really dark it might not work well.  (+ info)

How effective is tretinoin gel on hyperpigmentation?


I dont want to go as far as getting a tca peel cuz my hyperpigmetation is only from injuries and pimples. I've been using the 0.05% and 0.1% versions of tretinoin for a month, and everytime i peel my skin just recovers back to the way it was and i see no changes in my condition. exactly how should i treat it?
----------

Unfortunately, the tretinoin will have no effect on your post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In fact, neither will any of the quinolone products. Those products all work on the hyperpigmentation of melasma, but not that caused by previous injury. Conceivably, PDL laser treatment might help you. Talk to your local dermatologic laser surgeon to see if he feels he can help u.  (+ info)
