Well, I didn't think it will lighten my skin overall, just lighten my acne scars and other scars on my face and body. Over the years they have been so stubborn to remove and it's stressing me out. But, I don't think it's for lightening the skin. I've been using it along with the Bio Claire cream and Avon microbermabrasion and my mom said my skin looks clearer...but I asked her for her opinion so I don't know if she was saying it to be nice...:p
But, I guess I will definately know if it's working within a month hopeully. The bio claire only made my skin overall lighter, but my scars remained the same. I have been using the soap once or twice a day on my face, let it sit for about 5-10 min. and then rinse off. And once for the body...I have to force myself to keep this regimine up b/c if I don't see instant results I start getting bored and lose patience.
Can you please ask your aunt what face cream or other products she is using? What complexion was she before and how many shades lighter is she now?
