French term or phrase: dépigmentant
Hello,

I'm translating a questionnaire for the evaluation of a "dépigmentant renforcé", I have put "reinforced depigmenting complex", I'm not sure what consistency this "dépigmentant" has, is it a cream or a lotion, gel, etc, which would be the safest translation here?

I've looked on the brand's website and the English version just says "reinforced depigmenting" (!)

Thank you.

spot fading product


Explanation:
Is the most general term I have found online although your brand seems to be a cream (which contains depigmenting agents). Elsewhere the spots are referred to variously as age spots, liver spots, dark patches, blotches (!).

Also lots about 'skin lightening products' online, similar to Hélène's take on it
