I've tried so many whitening Cream (which is not easy for deep skin tones), but Intimate Lightening Cream By DermalMD has lightened the dark spot that I have on my privet area within 3 days! It does not burn, barely a smell, and it doesn't leave your skin dry. I even like the packaging--it's like a push down leak proof airless dispenser not a normal pump. I am shocked but going to continue using to see how clear my area and underarms get! I recommend to those with dark skin area to try!
