    it will help, but i don't think this is enough if you want to get results. i'm using 7 products to achive what you described: whitening serum with high arbutin %, whitening spot eraser, BHA and benzoyl peroxide (for actual acne that might appear) - that's night time. day time - tea tree oil serum for acne (which worked miracles for my skin, didn't expect it to), hyularonic acid moisturiser and spf50 pa +++ sunscreen. full sun protection, 20 and pa++ not good enough in my opinion especially if you're already using whitening products. and with all that I'm getting small results and my skin is quite young (25) and very fair (less pigment to go out of wack).

    What is/are the lightening ingredient(s) in the Avon product?  At any rate, I agree to go with higher spf for day with good UVA coverage (at least 30, preferably a zinc oxide sunscreen if it agrees with your skin).  My current lightening products are: azelaic acid (prescription topical) and Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum (arbutin, licorice, kojic acid, etc).  For sunscreen, I use Elta MD and an Olay Sensitive SPF 30.  Ebony, are you trying to achieve overall lightening or just spots?

    First of all thank you for the positive reactions.I primarily want to lighten spots but then overall lightening isn't a problem cause I tend to be lighter in the middle of my face. Ally, what's the name o your hyularonic acid moisturiser and spf50 pa +++ sunscreen? People, I live in Germany and it isn't easy to get these products. Either I ge them too expensive or or or. What would you recomment as cleancer and toner?Is it ok o use a micro demabration cloth alongside

    If I Use for eg Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20, will that make an spf value of 40? Will that be enough?
  • Ally E.Ally E.
    spf values can't be added up, you get spf 20 in the end. and I live in UK, so the same range of products available to me pretty much. internet is a great place though, nothing is out of your reach. for hyularonic acid I use Naruko and HadaLabo products, and spf is Kose. All of these brands are asian and I get them from sasa.com - an asain drugstore chain, that has an international online shop. the same products are available on ebay and numerous other websites.
