Hydroquinone. I am not sure that it will work in 7 days. And its use is restricted in many countries.
-
7 days? This is about the only thing.
-
@Belassi I was just holding my breath for you to come up with something like this.
-
For such a short time, 7 days
a paler makeup foundations (or anthing that leaves a paler coat on skin) seems like the only alternative.
It will rinse away upon washing, though.Hydroquinone is the most effective whitening agent as @ngarayeva001 said
ResorcinolMain article: ResorcinolResorcinol or m-hydroquinone is often used in skin-lightener cosmetics in countries where free hydroquinone is prohibite

Does not it depend on skin type or Age?
-
I don’t think that age has anything to do with it. An extend of sun exposure does. What do you mean by skin type? If dry/normal/oily then no.
-
By skin type, he is referring to different skin pigmentations as classified under the Fitzpatrick scale.Alas, I highly doubt that the OP will find a single ingredient (or multiple even) that will affect a change in skin pigmentation in just 7 days. Even if it were possible, you would see marked inflammation as well. It isn’t a realistic marketing benchmark. -
I agree. Skin doesn’t regenerate that fast. A product needs at least a couple of weeks (sometimes months) to show results. Some time is required even when lasers are used to break pigment in melasma (i might be wrong but I think it’s two weeks not one).
-
You can try hexylresorcinol, which is more effective then hydroquinone, without the side effects.
-
@jeromeinthehouse - more effective than hydroquinone? Do you have a link to a study that shows this?
-
the author used .5% hexylresorcinol, comparing to 2 % hydroquinone and found that it is just as effective
-
Thanks.
The following technology review paper suggests 4-Butylresorcinol is superior to hexylresorcinol.

I agree. Topical treatments take time (depending on age, 4-6 weeks or longer) and the use of a hat and sunscreen! Unless the pigmentation to be faded is surgically altered, the pigment will comeback when the topical is discontinued and/or the area gets sun exposure. Sorry!

Completely fading dark spot is quite difficult to get, but you can see the results like even skin color and % fading dark spot
try alpha-arbutin + ethyl ascorbic acid -
@Dtdang, may I ask if you bought ethyl ascorbic acid from a retailer (DIY quantity)? I can’t find it anywhere. Sorry for off topic.

It combines both ethyl ascorbic acid and alpha arbutin together
-
Kojic dipalmitate 4 percent sodium ascorbyl phosphate 2 percent arbutin 2 percent hydroquinone 2 percent with vitamin e 5 percent plus lactic 2 percent and glycolic 1 percent works better
-
Whooooa! That’s overkill! You don’t need alpha arbutin if hydroquinone is already there. Alpha arbutin is a weak derivative of hydroquinone and it has the same mechanism of blocking tyrosinase as HQ, so why do you need both? Vitamin e has nothing to do with skin lightening.

Vitamin e didn’t meant here for whitening it for skin nourishing after usage dry effect
-
Vitamin e at such concentration will act as pro-oxidant.

Thank you @gmliii!
