Ok. Who uses the aforementioned brand?

I'm from smogland and feel that being a bit paler might increase my social standing.

Any advice from beauticians/users???

Never ever use any product that contains bleach on your skin to lighten it. Why would you?

I find it hilarious that some people with darker complexions want to be paler (and I also hate the advertising campaigns that jump on the bandwagon and push the fact that to be successful, you must have fairer skin). And people with pale complexions always want to tan.

Now I am very fair skinned and freckly, but I'm outside alot of the time as I do alot of watersports. I do use some products which contain natural lightening elements, but purely to reduce damage to the skin, like sun spots, age spots, blemishes etc.

Is this what Michael Jackson uses?

So what is the difference then Chocs?

I think he uses the industrial strength variant.

Some products use harsh bleaching chemicals to actually lighten the skin tone, whereas others will use natural lightening ingredients, which are much kinder. Also if your just wanting to get rid of blemishes and imperfections, then a good sunscreen made especially for the face is always a good idea. As the skin renews itself, the imprefections caused by sun damage will reduce.

It's always advisable to go and see a good dermatologist though as all skin types are different.

I've never seen an industrial-strength whitener, even though I need it to remove sun spots, age spots, blemishes etc. Basically, all are the same.
