Hello YoHermosa,

Please do not be distressed, there is hope.  need to ask a few questions first.  1. What products were you using  and for how long
2. Were you just using on the face or whole body?
3. What exactly have you experienced,  describe your skin now eg general darkening, butterfly type darkening around the eyes as if some thing has stained your skin, bumpy appearance,  black or green looking etc.

Once I get an answer to these I can suggest ways of improving your skin.
It is very very important that you stop all forms of bleaching even if they say the products are natural.

Start on 1000mg of vitamin C  a day straight away to start the healing process which has to start from within,  Hydroquinone is so destructive it not only destroys the melanin in destroys health cells surrounding it. So we need strong antioxidants to start to heal and calm the skin first you can help by having a good diet of fruit and veg and loads of water as a start.  I know that you want something that you can just rub on your face and solve the problem but your skin has been destroyed deep down in the dermal layer of the skin so lets start by doing some work within first.   You can email me ***@****
