He had vitiligo and to hide it he used creams to keep his skin from producing pigment. He also used makeup.

This was confirmed in his autopsy report iirc.

Some of these creams contain heavy metals or possibly harmful compounds. The majority of them are sold in Africa and India but they are also available in the US. A lot of these creams are not approved in the European Union.

Not all of them work in the same way, for some the way they work is unknown, some speed up the breakdown of skin pigmentation and some prevent/reduce the production of new pigments.
