To lighten your skin and reduce under eye darkness, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone for skin lightening. Additionally, for under eye darkness, you can use a cream containing retinol or vitamin C to help brighten the under eye area. Make sure to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening. Also, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated can help improve the appearance of your skin.
