Trio Block is safe to use and is a pigment lightening agent. However the darkening of the upper lip commonly occurs because of repeated irritation like waxing/laser/lip smaking/habitual pulling out the dry skin layer of the skin from lip/surrounding area.
My suggestion: Use sunscreen 3 time s a day (9-12-3) and use a soap free cleanser like cetaphil cleansing lotion. Avoid all treatments for about 3-4 months. Remove the hairs wioth razor only: nothing else. This should resolve by then
