Usually, anything with Hydroquinone (found in bleaching creams) will fade blemishes, but what you've heard is correct --- don't put it all over your face, or it will lighten the entire area (making the blemishes not blend in). Over the counter formulas usually only have 2% (like Ambi) in them, but for extreme cases, your Dr. can prescribe 4%. The only problem with this is you should test it first on a small area to see if it will irritate your skin. The results are not very quick either, it usually takes about 4-8 wks.
