Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Apart from using a broad spectrum sunscreen, which offers protection against both UVA and UVB, through out the day it is also advisable to use a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following ingredients: Kojic acid, Glycolic acid, Hydroquinone, Arbutin, Tetrahydrocurcumin etc.

Antoxid HC basically acts as systemic sunscreens. It contains B-carotene, copper, magnesium, selenium etc which are basically antioxidants and prevent sun induced oxidative injury to the skin.
