Hi there. I'm not rich and am really bothered about brown spots. I have 3 on my face and lots on my arms, but much more on my legs. Is there one of these products that will really help me before I waste my money? Thank you. Francine
ReplyDeleteHi Francine, Any of these would be great for your face but I don't know that they would be good value to use on the body since they come in such small bottles, you would use it up awfully fast! NeoStrata makes a body lotion with AHA that would help lighten up discolouration and wouldn't end up as price prohibitive as using a lightening cream sized for the face! HTH!
DeleteBest, Lisamarie
