I'm struggling with dark and oily skin on my face and I really want to lighten it up. Can you recommend a cream that can help with melanin removal? I'm quite worried and looking for something that genuinely works.

I am on the heavier side, and I'm wondering if my weight might be causing these haematomas, especially when there's pressure on certain spots of my legs.
