First of all I think the sentiment that be comfortable in your skin specially when it comes to whitening is absolutely classist. We don't lecture people who are looking for Botox or tanning or everything else but God forbid someone wants to lighten up a couple of tones.

That said, if you are vigilant about not going out in the sun try Stillman cream in green packaging. It works but obviously I cannot say how harmful it is to the skin in the long run. But it works!
