text: skin question....? i am looking for some kind of skin cream that than get rid of dark spots above the lip.does anyone know any kind of skin cream to recommend? a cosmetologist recommended a product called vantex, which contains 2% hydroquinone, 5% methoxycinnamate, 1.5% oxybenzone, to lighten the dark spots   the facial condition is chloasma (sometimes called melasma.) usually occurs in women, aggravted by sun. blamed on pregnancy and hormones but shouldn't be.  the cream recommended is a good start. if that (plus if this fall) doesn't help, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger products.
