Brief Answer: Please refer to the answer below. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have looked at the url you send and saw the transformation from having black skin to whiten it up. 1. The product he used is a kind of whitening or bleaching cream containing hydroquinone. You get as otc whitening treatment at your local pharmacy or as prescribed by your dermatologist. Please bare in mind that such creams do contain high amounts of mercury which can cause high toxicity effects to your body. 2. A natural alternative to lighten the skin is by using kojic cream derived from a fungus family, at bedtime. I'd also remind you the side effects of using lightening creams, including: - mercury intoxication - risk of skin cancer - premature aging of skin So, I'd suggest to consult with your dermatologist first before using it. All the best! Dr.Benard
