After serious researching from different forums on honey lightening ( whether for hair, skin etc). This is what I've found.
using honey with distilled water is the most effective because of the PH 7 in the water. She explains that the natural hydrogen peroxide in honey can decompose with certain minerals in plain water.
using 1 tablespoon of honey and 6 tablespoons of water was more effective ( according to reports from other members), they noticed a difference straight away.
The mixture should be stored at room temperature only. ( refridgerating the honey can destroy certain elements).
Do not use vitamin c with honey as hydrogen peroxide oxidises vitamin c
Australian JARRAH HONEY has 50-70 percent more peroxide activity than manuka
Honey.
A lot of manuka honeys have NPO ( non peroxide activity) meaning that this honey is useless in lightening. ( google manuka honey NPO).
Lemon and lime is known to darken eyes, I'm assuming this is because of the vitamin c in the lemon and lime, the honey peroxide will oxidise the vitamin c therefore probably having the reverse effect.
I really hope this helped.
