Fairness Cream

This is for my wife really.She is 30 year of age.
She had medium complexion but over last 1 year or so face has darkened considerably and she turns out much darker in photographs too!!.
She is pretty depressed about the same.
Can anyone suggest any fairness cream with no major side effects.
Please

    if your wifes skin is darkening and you know of no reason for this I think that she should see her GP.

    I have no knowledge of any creams that lighten your skin as I would have assumed that your skintone is due to the amount of melanin, I dont know if you can stop yourself producing it

    Fairness creams are very dangerous and many are banned because of side effects. The ones you will see in the chemist don't do anything.

    As suggested get your wife to go see her GP

    Every face cream you buy in India has bleach in it to whiten your skin.

    If your wife is not usually dark skinned or itsnot in the family do what Happy35 says and go to doctors.if your wife is from a dark skinned family sunlight will make her go darker and there isnt much of that about lately
