20 Best Facial Skin Lightening Cream (Jan 2023 Update)

I have hyperpigmentation along with acne scars so I was excited and curious about using this. I don't love the strong lavender smell it has honestly but after trying it for over a week, I decided it's something I can put up with because I have noticed a improvement with my skin. I was afraid the scent would irritate my sensitive skin but it didn't. I was skeptical about how moisturizing it would be because of the texture of it and because you apply a thin layer on. The textue is not super rich or gel-like like others I've tried but surprisingly it kept my skin moisturized overnight. Overall, I'm impressed with it and will continue to use it.acarrill93

I used to to the Palmer's Acne Soap bar, but during pandemic I had trouble getting more. So I tried Neutrogena products (the water based line since I have OILY skin) my skin got WORSE. I had very big breakouts all over my face and neck. It hurt and it was terrible. I ready your skin has to purge when you switch facecare products. I kept looking to see when the acne var would be available again. So in the meantime I got SO many Palmer's products. I now use the Skin Success line: Deep Cleaning Astringent, Complexion Toner, Anti-Acne Medicated Complexion Bar, Anti Dark Spot Complexion Bar, Dark Spot Correcting Facial Cleanser, Anti Dark Spot Fade Cream for Oily skin during the day and the Anti Dark Spot Fade Cream for Night. I even use the Skin Therapy Face Oil and the Moisture Rich Night Cream. I started feeling real relief at the 4 week mark or reincorporating these products. I noticed at the 5 week mark my skin feels so supple and smooth. I'm seeing more overall skin clarity. I still have the dark spots from my acne (I think I need a good facial or two to get rid of that) but no new acne has come! My skin is really coming along again and I will never stray. I just wish Palmer's made a sunblock and eye cream. I still use a Neutragena sun block though. So it's hard to say if any one product helped me since I basically use it all! I even use the Purifying Enzym Mask once a week. The toner and astringent are great for when I go camping and find it difficult to wash my wash. So much dirt comes off! I'm a Palmers girl for life!La Negra Tomasa

When I started using it, my face was so smooth and I got a lot of compliments. Until 3weeks after, I started breaking out bad. I continued to use it and it continues to break me out.Miatta k

wow! the texture is so smooth and has pleasant scent. dark spots are slowly lightening up after only a week. easy to use right after washing face in morning and at night. this is great for sensitive skin like mine and provided all day moisture. package arrived quickly and in good condition.iHerb Customer

I got this because my knees are dark and rough. It’s lightening the dark spots!! It’s not as moisturizing as I would like but it is decent. I just don’t like that it doesn’t absorb easy. It takes some effort to rub in the heavy white cream. I still like it.iHerb Customer

It lightened my skin and moisturized as evident on the photos below before and after without filter. I only used it once a day as opposed to instruction to twice a day but it already does the job on trying to even out the dark spots. I would have breakouts usually and have to continue using it. I like the resultsiHerb Customer

I used this face cream for 2 weeks hoping it will make my face glow, but it made my face black and burn. I can not go out of my house due to the embarrassment from this useless cream. l bought it because the body milk was good. I wish i could post my before and after picture of the face cream, buying this product is a scam and waste of money, its nonsense and rubbish. DO NOT BUY !!!ojuolape

This face cream is everything! I suffered from skin discolouration during pregnancy. I’ve been using the caviar face cream for only a couple of weeks and it’s restoring my colour back. It’s a very soft lotion which rubs easily into the skin. I’m beyond pleased.Oyindamola D

I have hormonal acne, I have tried different types of treatments for acne and dark spots, including different types of face creams, and antibiotics prescribed by my primary doctor. I also bought pills like Acnetame, vitamin B5 and none of them helped. Even creams of different types of essential oils and nothing worked for me. The skin on my face kept getting worse. I went to Walmart without much hope, looking for something to help me, looking among the shelves I found the photos of the boxes of the Porcelana Cream I saw it so cheap that I said: "I don't lose anything in trying it" and to my surprise it has helped me Quite. I still have half of the cream left, and my skin is much better.Raquel

I had leave a review for my Black sisters and brothers out there looking for a fade cream that actually works. I've tried tons of over the counter lighting creams over the years and none of them have worked. I had almost given up, but decided to take to a trip to Walmart. Walmart didn't have much of a selection for products that claim to rid dark spots, but out of what they had I chose Porcelain for its reasonable price and lack of outrageous claims on the box. WOW! I am so glad that I did. Within two days I saw noticeable results. I was super surprised that it worked on my light brown skin since the box shows a picture of a white woman and states that its best used on light skin. Most of these products aren't aimed at Black women, but this one has worked well thus far. I don't expect it to rid my dark spot completely (although I hope it does), but I'm hoping it continues to work and even out my skin tone to about 80 percent. That would be success for me. Little more background: I'm using the product for its purpose, to lighten up a dark blemish on my cheek and to lighten up a few freckles on my face. The priority is the blemish on my face that I've had since I was 15 years old due to a bad case of acne or fungus I had on my face. I scratched and scratched until it left a large dark mark and I so regretted it. Nothing helped lighten the dark stop, not even time. Fast forward 13 years and I was still feeling super self conscious about this spot on my cheek. Porcelain really seems to have lightened the spot and I've been using the product for about a week and half now. I try to only apply the product one or twice a day every other day to not irritate my skin. So far I haven't noticed any irritation. I wash my face with a mild soap, dry, moisturize lightly with lotion and then use a q-tip to gently rub in the Porcelain product only on my blemish and freckles. I leave it on all night and wash it off in the morning. Out of all the lightening/bleaching creams I've used, this smells the best and seems safe. It's a strong soap smell, but not too distracting. I'll try to update my review in a month or two to detail my results.Shon

My mother told me about Porcelana, years ago. I looked at active ingredents in it and compared to other creams for dark spots. Porcelana had double the active ingredents and at a fraction of the cost. I bought some!! Been using on age spots on my face for 6 days, yes i use it once in morning and once at night…I can see a light difference!! Directions also say to use a small amt instead of the usual directions, that say use a generous amt. I am going to keep using for a couple of mths and see what happens!! Oh, I am 71 years old!!shirley

Usually I cant tell a huge difference within the first few days of using an eye cream, however with Kiss Red E I definitely noticed my under eye area getting brighter! I’ve always dealt with dark circles but after months of using this, it seems like they are almost gone. I like to use this twice a day andit goes on nice and evenly. It takes a little bit of rubbing in for the cream to fully disappear but I like that because it makes me rub the product in more. Totally worth the money, I bought this in January and I still have a lot of cream left!MIA

First of all -organic and vegan! There's a sigh of relief, just knowing what you're putting on your skin isn't a ton of harsh chemicals. It's actually really creamy but goes on light with no greasy residue. It smells faintly of aloe vera, not a bad smell at all. There's no stinging or tingling sensation. It just feels like a nice, light cream. You set it and forget it, forget that it's actually lightening and brightening your skin. Yes, it does work. I use it for lightening, but it may also be firming as well. I love it. I am looking forward to getting another jar.Saphi

This is the first time I have used a product by the same company, but this one is a whitening cream. I have fair skin as it is, but this one really makes my skin feel so moisturized and lovely. Once I used this product, my skin looked and felt younger and it did not take a long time to sink. This is a lot of product for the price, and it will definitely last you a long time. I recommend wearing it to bed because it is a little thick, and this will give it time to soak in. Most products like this cost over $20 but this one gives you bang for your buck. The smell is pretty subtle, with not a lot of perfume. My other favorite part about it is the natural ingredients like Aloe which means your skin will feel a lot more healthy.Plus it's Vegan and Organic!zaineylaney

As my hormones have fluctuated, I've seen pigmentation in my skin become uneven in spots. I don't do a ton of chemicals on my face because I have sensitive skin and this cream seems to agree with my touchy face. I've been using for about a month now and I can tell that my skin seems less blotchy and more even. I love the price point that doesn't break the bank, too! I ordered the vitamin C facewash to help brighten and I think the combo of the two has worked well.Kristin

I really love this dark spot corrector for several reasons. A little bit goes a long way. It has a lovely fragrance. It has a really nice feel and isn’t greasy at all. Sometimes when I wear a product in addition to a moisturizer, I wind up feeling that there’s a lot of stuff on my face, but this product is not like that. I very comfortably wear it and my moisturizer all day. And this product did not make me break out. But their main reason I’m so pleased with this product is that I already see a difference in my skin tone. My face looks brighter, and my dark spots are less noticeable.Lisa

I am a fair-skinned person who lives in Kansas — yes, the sunshine state. I have dark sunspots and freckles on my face that are hard to get rid of. This product has brightened my skin and helped to significantly lighten my freckles. I also feel like my skin looks healthier in general. I would recommend this to anyone looking to brighten their skin. It smells nice too!Kaylee

No one who's leaving comments are doctors so you're taking this at your own risk. If you're serious about it you need to start a regiment.people who are not serious about it and put it on every so often are the one's that usually have the negative comments .For someone who's using it for the first time I would recommend that you ease into it ,you are lightening your skin without doctor supervision. Start off with the cream first give it about 2 months or until you feel like you skin is getting immune and then move on to the cream plus oil. Even when I start off with the cream I do rougher areas like elbows/ Knuckles and then move on to softer areas like under eyes top tip (no one wants to look like a raccoon). Based on what I see within 2 weeks of using the products you rather be safe with a burnt looking elbow than a burnt looking face .For my fast and even results. I would recommend for anyone whose first starting out to get a really good exfoliant for your skin or a hand loofah. You are chemically peeling the first layer of your epidermis causing it to be darker. if not removed you will notice certain areas being darker.so by having a good exfoliant you are allowing the fresh new skin to come through a lot quicker. depending where you're living you do want to get sunblock at a high level and apply it as needed ( I prefer starting this regiment from Autumn to winter when the sun is less harsh and I don't have to walk around looking like I have oily skin from the sunblock like spf 75). you do need to get a good face wash or body wash not all soaps are the same and will cause your skin to get darker depending on the ingredients the best ones that I find to work better or ones that contain salicylic acid. lastly and more important the chemicals that are in this ingredient will weaken your skin elasticity causing stretch marks hence you do need Vitamin C.I'm not saying eat an orange I'm saying get a vitamin C oil before or after you put the product on to make sure you're getting enough elasticity in your skin. After I wash my skin I usually put vitamin C oil on and don't put on this cream for at least 4 or 5 hours given enough time to soak into my skin. Growing Up Jamaican I would see my mom uses product lik this one plus others,i always hated the fact that she had spider veins and stretch marks from overstretching her skin from beaching. she has to get surgery to get those spider veins removed. This is my own personal experience with this product I'm not saying hey follow to the T but it does help if you do have a regiment that works for you and not following extremes right away.ʹ€ì£¼í ¬

This will work with Caro cream like a pro! In two weeks. Use I whole tube in 1 container of caro white use twice a day together. I am African American dark color and it turned me two shades lighter in tiw weeks. Use twice a day mixed together. My dark spots left in three weeks at the most and my scars on my leg and arm from 45 year old burns disappeared completely! No lie! But must use with Caro white in the jar container. It worked together extremely well!Loretta B.

This cream is wonderful it's clear my face removed my pimples. I received alot of compliments on my face at work… Thank you!!!Guerline V.

Thank God for directing me to TROVIAN CREDIT REPAIR for credit repair. I discovered I had few negative entries on my report mostly IRS, late payment, loans and hospital bills. My business was tired down due to the negatives on my report; I could not get any loan so I started looking for solutions, I discovered this specialist on reddit, through there was others their but my spirit directed me to TROVIAN. After much discussion I gave them a benefit of doubt and made some commitment. My score was raised from 509 to an excellent 799plus and all the negative was cleared from my report. Right now I have a brand new credit profile with good trade lines. I am strongly recommending their service to anyone in need of fixing his/her credit you can contact them via ; TROVIANCREDITREPAIR @ GMAIL . COM /+ 1 (424) 307 4562godwin.j

Hey guys, I’m Bronson Armond. I often read posts here and I’ve finally made the decision to fix my credit after years of damage. In 2018 I got involved in a fatal accident and was rushed down to the hospital. I was placed on treatment for 3 months but was unable to pay up bills. I have around 15 accounts with 75% utilization and I’m paying around $2000 a month alone with around $60,000 debt. I know paying it off would be the best scenario but I wasn’t in a position to do that. The monthly payment was going into interest. In 2020 I decided to apply for my dream car which is a 2017 Ford Escape but was not approved due to low credit score. Months back I saw some good reviews ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST and how they’ve been helping lives, I emailed via: rootkitscreditspecialist @ gmail . com and texted on +1 760 474 3440; I explained my predicament to them and they said they can make my credit to be an excellent one, within 5 days medical bills, hard inquiries, credit card debt and collections were cleared from my credit report and my credit score was raised from 528 to 803. I thought I was dreaming when I checked my credit profile to confirm my new credit score. My greatest happiness is that my 2017 Escape Ford has been approved. Thanks to ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST I highly recommend them to the world.bronson.a

I understand that this product may work differently for different types of skin…… But Y'ALL… This stuff works for me. As an African American woman who has been diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)… I have black spots on my legs, armpits, etc. So the scars are pretty obvious and embarrassing. I'm literally only on DAY THREE of using the ponds dark spot corrector (in combination with aloe vera)…. And I'm already noticing a difference! I literally almost cried this morning, because I was so happy to see that it's working! I just hate that I didn't find this stuff sooner. But I'm glad I found it, nonetheless. At this rate, I'll be back to wearing shorts and tank tops again this summer. I'm definitely ordering more.siomara.l

This product really works! I had a few acne scars and dark sun spots on my face. At first I thought I needed to do some sort of facial peel or something to lighten my skin back to its original color, but I bought this cream just to try it out. That probably one of the best things I could've done. I read some reviews that suggested to wear it twice a day, but I tried just tried wearing it at night. Even then, after the third day of using it I noticed that the cream was working and my skin began to lighten. So I definitely recommend it! It really does work and it is not expensive at all. I found it at Walmart for $9.melissa.h

Ive been using this product for 2 weeks now. I was hoping to see results within the first week and I did! 2/5 scars have improved since I started using this product. I have 3 big dark flat iron burn marks, so I know those are going to take a couple months to lighten. So far so good though. Its going to take a little patience but I recommend Dermisa. Wish I seen this product soonerbeautyplayground

This cream is amazing for people that have spots on the face, this cream what it does is clear them and leave you a beautiful skin. This cream does not help with the pimples just with the spots. I recommend it a lot because It leaves the skin super white. The cream is only placed at night, I personally place it 20 or 10 minutes before going to sleep, I wash my face and go to sleep. Thank u for reading and I hope you liked this review. #beautytips #dermisa #skincare #skin #cream #skincaretips #skincareproductkarol.n

Delay in response to complaints. You don't keep to your delivery schedules too. No respect for customer feelings. I used my sister's information to order for more 4 days without any indication of any order so I did again with my information. You intentionally delivered all with the pretends that you didn't know. Meanwhile the address is same from same phone number. I should have sued you because I wrote to you to cancel the second order and you never minded me. I ordered this same product from Amazon and I didn't face such nonsense. I attempted to buy from Amazon and you cropped up from nowhere and hijacked the order.Fatimata S.

I tell you what this lotion is everything it lightenings you and gives you a beautiful complexion. My only problem is the pump, when the lotion gets to the buttom it’s becomes difficult to pump it out so I always have to cut it open.Princess A.
