hi, welcome to HCM,
lacticare contains lactic acid cream. although it contains alpha hydroxy acid it is used for dry skin condition and not as skin fairness cream.
it acts as exfoliating(Removes skin, dead layer).
i will advise not to use as fairness cream.
apply kojic acid and hydroquinone cream, which is used for this.
hope this will help you.
thanks
