I've tried skin brightening cream, but dark spots appeared on my nose. Can you recommend a good skin lightening cream that doesn't leave dark marks?

I tried skin brightening creams, but dark black spots appeared on my nose. I'm scared. Please tell me about a good skin lightning cream (preferably an herbal or all natural type). Btw, my skin is sensitive and bleaching has never really suited me.

You can try a product that has Kojic acid, which is a natural plant derivative. We have a couple of products that have this in the office. It is not available OTC. Also, we have a product called Lytera from Skin Medica that can be considered. This product is also less irritating than hydroquinone. Also, you can consider photofacials/IPL to remove dark spots.

I’m very fair skin, blue eyes, but I’m debating if it is actually rosacea that I’m suffering from or just a natural rosy Irish complexion. I’m so confused and don’t want to be wasting more money on rosacea products that won’t even be effective for myself because the statistics say sufferers are usually 35-40 when they do develop the condition but I’m only 16. I just want to get to the root of this very frustrating problem.
