Brief Answer:
Lakme sun expert cream will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

Lakme Sunscreen expert with SPF 50 is an excellent cream which can reduce the melanin production quite significantly.

This will obviously bring whitish look.

Apply this at least 30 min prior to going out in the sun.

Also Lakme Anti XXXXXXX cream can be applied after coming home from sun exposure.

This will remove the accumulated excess melanin if any.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Hi Mam,

I have applied that one in the past. My face became sweaty and no improvement I noticed after 2 month of use.

Please advise some medicated cream for reducing the melanin in the night and sunscreen that can protect me in the day time.

thanks
