Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch) by Yves Saint Laurent is good for disguising dark patches. It reflects light so your skin appears brighter. It's great for me as I have dark patches under my eyes which make me look far more tired than I am which is a bit annoying!

The only downside is that it's a bit costly (around £22 in most department stores). However, you could do what I do and buy from ebay, where you can often get it for less than £15 brand new. Bargain!

It's like a pen which you apply sparingly to wherever you need it. It lasts ages and ages, even if you use it every day like I do, and so I'd say it's worth the money.

Here's a link for you:

Hope you find something to help you! x

I'm sure you can buy special products in places like Boots which are designed to help fade out dark patches. They're for people with uneven pigmentation or scars maybe, and they're supposed to fade them somehow.

yeah they've got some kind of "crystal treatment" too, that essentially scrubs off the first few layers, supposedly getting rid of the darker pigment.

mediaclly, if there is alot of it,they can send u to have 'light therapy' or laser therapy to remove it, im having this.the dermatologist may be able to give u creams too. u need referal from a GP. if u r light skin, chemical / glycolic peel may work but u need 3 or 4 applications

boots and superdrug also sell 'Fade Out' cream, bout £6 which fades them over 4-6 weeks. persoanlly i found this very oily and stinky.
however this company also makes 'skinicles' £10 which is supposed to be good

online, you can buy 'Palmer's Fade Cream' which is made by the samre people that make 'Palemers Cocoa Butter' and is excellent. non greasy, bout £4, fast working - i noticed difference in 1 week and safe.try ur local chemist, its the best stuff out there.

you can buy loads of stuff online be careful if buying these treatments to avoid ones containig hydroquinone (may lead ot liver failure,peeling of skin, nervous sys probs and has been banned in the UK), kojic acid (ok in the UK, but banned in asia, a derivative of hydroquinone), mercury (will poison u).

ones with licorice root, arbutin and bearberry will work well.
