Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I usually advice my patients to use either kojic acid, glycolic acid OR Hydroquinone twice daily. If hydroquinone is not giving the desired results then may be you can change to Kojic acid OR Glycolic acid(AHA).
Use a broad spectrum sunscreen active against both UVA and UVB throughout the day. Sunscreen is a must for any demelanising therapy to be effective.
take care
