Hello, I can help you with the creams. The home remedies are a slow process and It's not sure how much would they help.  first, the most important thing to prevent darkening of skin is to prevent constant sun exposure by using a sunscreen of SPF more than 50 if possible. This has to be applied on all exposed parts half an hour before going out to sun and reapplied every 4 hours. A daily regimen of cleansing your face thrice a day, moisturizing and using sunscreen is very effective. There are creams like glycolic acid 6 % cream which are available which have to be applied at night.  This helps in skin color lightening. There are methods like glycolic acid chemical peels which help in getting rid of the pigmentation, also microdermabrasion or photofacials will help you in getting a glow to your face and will also help with pigmentation. I suggest you visit a dermatologist who can chart out a plan for you according to the facilities he provides. Regards
