Skin Discoloration Creams

Ultraviolet light damage, changes in your body's hormone levels and surface skin stress such as acne can cause your skin to darken and create a splotchy, uneven skin tone. Several treatment products, recommended by beauty experts and doctors, can help treat this discoloration and brighten your complexion for a more luminous, even appearance.

ProActiv Solution Skin Lightening Lotion

Target scars and darkened skin left by acne or any other skin problem with ProActiv Solutions' Skin Lightening Lotion. Paula Begoun, the beauty expert behind "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me," rated it as one of the best hydroquinone-based treatments for skin discolorations. In her review, she said its combination of glycolic acid, a chemical exfoliant, and hydroquinone resulted in outstanding effects to help remove skin discolorations and also improve the appearance of skin texture.

Vivité Vibrance Therapy

Vivité's skin brightener is a powerful skin serum, according to dermatologist Jeanine Downie, who reviewed the product for Elle magazine. She said its potent antioxidants, glycolic acid and retinol don't just help brighten away skin discolorations, but may also help protect against future damage and smooth down your wrinkles.

Prescriptives Vibrant-C Skin Brightening Eye Cream

For age spots and problems with skin tone in the thin, delicate skin around your eyes, try Prescriptives' vitamin C-based eye cream. InStyle magazine put it in its list of best beauty buys, saying it's one of the top creams for the area. Plastic surgeon James Benjamin, writing for the magazine, also said it may help with eye skin problems like puffiness.

Avon Anew Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum

Avon's brightening treatment is one of the company's newest skin tone correctors, launching in May 2010, according to Elle magazine. The magazine recommends this product because it brightens skin while sloughing off dead skin cells to boost your skin's glow. The magazine also reports that it can help keep your skin from producing more pigment to help you retain a brightened, even skin tone.
