Best Skin Whitening Creams or serums and gels for men and women in India
A lot of us would like to improve their skin complexion. I can understand that fair skin is so much desired in India and this is why the skin lightening creams sell like hot cakes. To help you choose better, I am going to share this list of the best fairness creams in India for men and women along with their reviews and the updated price list of 2019. The list also includes even the fairness cream that Indian men can try.These are unisex products by the way that can be applied daily.
Skin can get darker and dull because of the sun tanning, dirt, dust and pollution. We tend to lose our natural complexion and get darker. I always say that skin whitening home remedies are safer than the store bought fairness products. But that is also true that we cannot roam around during the day applying some home recipe. Right? This is why we go for skin whitening creams that protects and lightens the skin through out the day.
There are various formulations like the fairness serums, gels, medicated creams and what not. There are whitening creams for dark and dusky skin as well. We’ve compiled this list to help you choose the right face cream for your skin type.

5. Biotique Bio Coconut Whitening & Brightening Cream
Features and Review
Biotique is a herbal skin and hair care brand. This Boutique Ayurvedic skin whitening cream has extra virgin coconut oil and other botanical extracts. This is one of the best fairness cream for dry skin for brightening and hydration but I will not recommend this to the oily combination skin types as it can be slightly comedogenic that means it can clog the pores. You can call it a product for the winters for dry skin because of its coconut extracts.
Recommended for: Dry to normal skin types
6. Fair & Lovely Multivitamin Fairness Cream with SPF 15
Features and Review
Fair & Lovely is by far the most popular skin cream in India wit SPF protection and I hope you will agree with me. This new version has a pump for easy usage and SPF 15 with multivitamins. I used this and it was good for everyday use. Just a tip for oily to combination skinned boys and girl, if you truly want fairness then other than using these skin whitening creams, you should also exfoliate the skin 2 times in a week. It will really make a positive difference in getting the glowing skin. For this, an Ayurvedic fairness cream version is also available that you can consider.
Recommended for: Oily to normal skin for daily usage
7. VLCC Snigdha Fairness Cream
Features and Review
This fairness cream from VLCC claims to give an even toned skin for a nice smooth face and also lightens the pigmentation on the skin. This is enriched with the Wild Turmeric, lemon peel, Mulberry and liquorice. Liquorice helps lighten the skin while turmeric and lemon peel improves the texture and fades marks. Mulberry reduces the melanin formation in the skin. It may not be a good choice for oily skin though. It is not a hydroquinone-free cream. They also have a night lightening cream, so you can complete the whitening regimen from the same brand.
Recommended for: Not for oily skin types
8. Ayush Saffron Fairness Cream

How to Choose Skin whitening and Fairness Creams?
Face whitening creams can help you lighten the sun tan and also to polish the skin.But you should always choose these lightening whitening creams as per the skin type, as if the creams are not chosen well you can have acne, comeodones etc. This is why a lot of people will ask which is the best whitening cream for oily skin, dry skin etc.
Oily skin: Creams that are too thick can be comedogenic as they will block the skin pores while the creams which has light gel like texture is good for oily and acne prone skin.
For dry skin: Opting for fairness creams with more hydyrating formula is great. Another thing to keep in mind is the price.
If a skin whitening cream is pricey that does not mean that it will be very effective in making your skin fair. So, stay away from the price factor. Most of these whitening creams work by only whitening the uppermost skin by fading the sun tanning.
So, these were the compilation of the some of the best and worth trying skin whitening and fairness skin creams in India. Which is the one that you have tried? Which is your favorite out of the lot? Skin whitening products don’t just work like that but you have to think that you should take care of the skin in natural ways too like putting sunscreen, applying face packs and also drinking loads of water.

Hi Niesha, this is lisa here am 31 year old and my face hands are turend bit dark compare to my body it looks dull and dark pls suggest me a face cream and the lotion for hands , and a good face scrub and pack too.. i have dry skin thanks…
Hi Lisa,
That may be due to sun tanning. i will suggest you to us e a sunscreen when you go in the sun. To get rid of the darkness on the hands the easiest remedy will be to apply some tomato juice and wash after 1 hour. This can be tried daily an hour before you for to bed. it gets dry within 5 minutes so won’t restrict you from doing work.
You can use a scrub by mixing of rice powder and honey. This is best for face and body as well. Honey will nourish your dry skin.
For the face pack, you can mix some oatmeal with honey and lemon juice. Apply o the face and wash after 20 minutes. This can be used 2 times in a week.
Thanks for previous reply Can you please suggest me a face whiting day cream to be used since am confused to choose

One of my neighbour suggested me to use Suhani fairness product..so is that product is good to use..? If we stop using that then will I become dark ? Is there any side effects wit that product ?? Plssss say me a good permanent faibess product without any effects to my sensitive skin
thanku mam and plz suggest me the fairness cream for daily use
Hi Pushpa,
First of all, i will suggest you to scrub the face 2 times in a week. So that the skin pores are clean and there is no dead skin cells. I think you have oily combination skin type.
An easy solution will be to take half teaspoonful of honey and half teaspoonful of lemon juice. mix them and apply on the face wash after 30 minutes. Do this daily and the face will be clearer again.
Hi Lakshmi,
A lot of us ace this problem that we get dark very soon when we go in the sun. For that I will advise you to use sunscreen so that your color doesn’t get darker.
I am not aware about that skin cream so cant say for that. But you can try using roop mantra cream my mum uses that and that has worked well for her. You can also try Lotus whiteglow gel day cream.
You are welcome Meenakshi, You can try Lotus whiteglow gel day cream. I like that cream due to its light texture.

You can try applying some tomato juice on those spots. They will fade. Scrub the face 2-3 times in a week.
Hi Anju,
In that case you can try using Roop mantra cream.
Try using Himalaya or VLCC sunscreen if Lotus doesn’t suit you!!
For the marks, you can apply tomato juice at night and wash in the morning.
You can try Lotus herbals whiteglow cream for the day time.
