Traditionally in Western cosmetics Buttermilk has been applied and left on overnight to bleach the skin. (Works but does/will take a long time - three months of nightly bleaching). Mashed strawberries as a mask also are said to bleach the complexion.

Yoghurt is the favourite choice in the Middle East. Same application process as the Buttermilk.

(These are mild alphahydroxies that will gently and slowly remove dead cells and correct damaged cells beneath the surface).

Hydroquinine is the bleach most commonly used but really really yucky stuff and I'd recommend you avoid it. Medical evidence suggests that the stuff does vile liver damage! (Sort of like the lead make-up worn by various cultures since man stood-up on his feet!) NB check ingredients and avoid anything with mercury in it - a big selling point in Malaysian bleaching products market, right now.

The Japanese cosmetic firms are the biggest suppliers and researchers into this area - been doing it for DECADES and thus the most reliable. BUT CHECK THE INGREDIENTS BEFORE YOU APPLY!

Sheishedo was highly mentioned in a recent article I read on sun damage & skin/repair care. Dermalogica also has some bleaching products, Decleor too offers a product to lighten the complexion. But these products are expensive £28-35 plus per item. But they work.

In the States you can get Aqua-Glycolic which is reasonable in price, $9 to $10 bucks each. Lasts a good while too. Major drug Stores. They gave me this link to buy there product if you can't get to the big stores. Now Aqua-Glycolic will slowly fade dis-colourations on the skin over a period of time.

Retin A will also fade more agressive "spots" but you will need a perscription.

3% Hydrogen Peroxide swabbed on at night and in the morning under your moisturiser will bleach a little too. Not a grand skin tonic but generally works. (Tingles until you get used to it and don't use higher numbers!)

This process is going to take you a good fair while since it depends on the spots and how dark/long you've had them. Bank on a minimum of four months to a year of intensive treatment application going this route.
