Hello,
Always do a patch test before you try anything on your face. You seem to be interested in getting a fair skin which is why you are frustrated. Choose a face wash which has less chemicals.
Go for oil based soaps. The soaps that are made using oils. Choose good quality soaps.
Avoid using face wash which has SLS or creams with parabens. If you can choose an organic face wash which suits you go for it. Otherwise oil based soap that suits your skin will do best.
Did not take the pressure to have fair skin. Your sun exposed skin will tend to become darker helping you to protect yourself from harmful rays.
Limit sun exposure by using umbrella or good quality sunscreen. When choosing a fairness cream select good brands.
Most of the commercial fairness creams have mercury in high levels. Good soap or face wash and proper moisturizing with suitable night cream or oils that suit your skin.
Your frustration and anxiousness about getting a fair skin also will play a role in your skin health. Take plenty of water and fruits. Instead of commercial face packs try real fruits.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
