Hello,
The only way to acheive skin lightening evenly and effectively is to consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
There are prescription ointments and gels combined with procedures such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser resurfacing that can lighten skin to some degree.
The safety of any pills or creams purchased over the counter is not regulated or monitored by the FDA and could have potential side effects to include uneven pigementation of the skin.
Please let me know if you have questions.
