I'm really concerned about my skin tone, which is wheatish. I've tried so many creams to lighten it, but nothing seems to be working. Can you suggest any really effective creams for my face?

For improving skin complexion, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, which is a skin-lightening agent. One option is "Melalite Forte Cream", which contains 4% hydroquinone. You can apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day is important to protect your skin from further darkening.
