Understand how different skin lightening actives work to slow down melanin production or eliminate it all together. Understanding the science behind lightening will afford you the opportunity to make wise decisions when it comes on to choosing products. After all it's your skin, at the end of the day you should be responsible for how you treat it. The information is out there, make use of it.
