Hi, Thanks for writing to us. As such one s constitutional skin color cant be changed. If a person is born dusky or wheatish, will remain so always. However to some extent, skin lightening can be achieved. For the same, use a good sunscreen in morning and a hydroquinone tretionin, steroid based cream( lumacip plus/melalite xl/ skinlite/ cosmelite etc) in night. Use the triple combination cream in a very minimum amount possible to avoid irritation or redness. Usually in a month a satisfactory response can be achieved.Once complexion has lightened a little, continue using a sunscreen and replace your night cream with milder creams like advan or melaglow etc. Do not overuse triple combination cream as can cause side effects in long run. Als if possible you may take few sessions of peels or mesotherpay with vitamin c, glutathione etc. Hope this helped.
