I'm looking for a permanent solution for skin whitening. I'm tired of using all these temporary fixes and would love to know if there's a lasting and effective method to get the result I'm looking for. Can you help guide me?

For permanent skin whitening, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone in combination with tretinoin and corticosteroids. One such effective brand is Tri-Luma cream. It is usually applied once daily in the evening. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as prolonged use can have side effects. Additionally, using sunscreen with a high SPF is crucial to prevent darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.
