Question

I'm looking for a good kojic acid or hydroquinone cream to help with my tan. Even though I'm using sunscreen, my arms and legs have really tanned. Can you recommend something that might work for me?

For tan removal, I'd recommend considering products with kojic acid or hydroquinone. However, keep in mind that hydroquinone is available by prescription only, usually in 4% concentrations, and should be used under the guidance of a dermatologist.Neostrata Dark Spot Corrector:
