Hi i have been using skin lite from 1 year. i had a drastic change in my face color but the thing is that if i stop using skinlite for 1 week then again my face is becoming darker. May i have any other alternative for that? and can you please suggest me some other cream which gives me permanent solution?

Hi,
There are two important factors involved in the dark skin :the one is Genetical and the other due to sunlight. The darkness is due to the activity of melanocytes in the skin.
These melanocytes are the cells which regularly produces color/pigment known as melanin in the skin. These are superficially present in the upper skin known as epidermis. This is a tendency in us to get higher activity of these melanocytes at the facial area according to our genetic make up.
It is seen on higher side in people of Asiatic origin than in white population. I prefer to use a cream containing Kojic acid with arbutin and mulberry extract in it.I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and go for best treatment under his/her guidance.
Take care.
Wish you glowing skin,
With regards,
