That depends on your skin type, not all ingredients work for all.
Please attach images and consult online for evaluation into the same.
HQ should be avoided if not advised. There are many natural alternatives these days.

Hello
retinol does not lighten skin per se , it reduces dark appearance by exfoliating skin and if u don't take proper sun protection it may darken further due to tanning
HQ can be used for a maximum of 12 weeks without side effects and not advisable in lichen planus pigmentosus
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist for proper treatment in form of tablets and prescription creams
Health Tips
strict sunprotection - sunscreen, hat / scarf
avoid vitamin c and other irritants on lichen planus pigmentosus
