I used serums, toners and creams that didn't work on my face. Some of which contained retinol, Vitamin C. I saw effects 😇

Try this toner from the ordinary. Patch test it first. This isna glycolic acid toner or a AHA toner which chemically exfoliates the skin! and will help lighten dark areas over time. Here's how I suggest you use it : 1. Patch test it first. This can be done on your upper arm. Apply a small amount of this product on clean skin, keep it for 24 hours, thrn chrck on the area for signs of itching, redness, etc. 2. If it passes that patch test, start applying this on your dark areas once a week with a cotton pad. Allow it to dry completely, give it say 15 min then apply a good body moisturizer as this can be drying. 3. Once your skin gets used to it, you can use this a couple of times a week. You will notice effects after around a month of continued use. IMPORTANT : this is an acid, and so will make you more sensitive to the sun. Please dont forget to apply sunscreen to all areas you apply this acid to. Dont skip on SPF ever.

I second this. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid Toner functions great at brightening dark spots anywhere on your body

You can use your chemical exfoliant on it! I use glycolic acid or the aha/bha peeling solution from the ordinary on it and it works well! But be careful to the sun wear sunscreen
