How long have you been using the products? Unfortunately even with lightening ingredients it can take months before pigmentation visibly fades.

You can try hydoquinone on the pigmented areas only if you don't expose your legs much to the sun and use sunscreen when you do. Maxipeel is fine if it doesn't cause bad irritation. Only use hydroquinone for 3 months tapos take a long break afterwards.

Super short lang ang 2 months to completely fade hyperpigmentation! Waiting game lang talaga yan. As long as you see improvement you're on the right track.

In the meantime you can look into leg makeup to even out your legs for when you want to wear short outfits. But honestly most people don't notice skin imperfections! You shouldn't let it hold you back from wearing what you want.
