Ohhh.. stay away from those skin lighteners! They will change the melanin levels and pigmentation of your skin. Good old fashioned cocoa butter is good for evening your skin tone. This site sells it in large white containers by the pound.

I have found Dudu Osun Black Soap to be the absolute best thing for clearing up my skin and also smoothing out the complexion. Here's a site that sells it..
