However, if you have skin trouble like brown spots and discoloration in visible areas, you better try some skin treatments with citric acid or Vitamin C.

MAP is the new ingredient which works at cellular level to brighten the dark skin and prevent future discoloration.

According to a research conducted by American Academy of Dermatology, it was found that moisturizers containing 10% of MAP were found effective in lightening the skin tone by reducing the melanin formation.
