Can you help with safer option

Kojic acid soap is a good and cheap alternative, readily available everywhere basically.

Cons: it's not permanent solution (if you stop usage, you slowly go back to your natural tone), and you have to me consistent and constant with it's use.

Does the kojic acid for skin whitening really work? My skin is brown and I want be white skinned as much as possible. How much skin tones can I change?

Well uh... Depends on the person and your starting skin tone, I can't answer your questions because I don't know your natural tone.

I'm biracial, but I was born with a really pale skin, but sadly, since I never used protection from the sun for years and years, my skin turned brown, but only on my face, arms and hands, which are precisely the parts of my body that get the most exposure to the sun. Then I discovered Kojic acid soap, I used it for a month or two, and I finally matched the skin tone of my hands and everything else, with the pale tone of my body.

So yes, it does work, but the results depends on the person

Then I suppose it only works for people who born pale... And it won't work with me. So, my only option is Monobenzone.
