Hi everyone, I'm sort of new to this forum and I'm having a hard time choosing between Bio Claire and the products of 55H+.

I want to lighten my skin to let's say something around Trey songz complexion. As of now I'm allmost the exact same complexion as Tyrese Gibson (singer, Actor) if not darker. A little darker than Trey songz would be oke I guess.

I have read through allmost every single thread, and I understand the dangers that come allong with Bio Claire. And still I have this feeling that it will be the only product that will work for me. So far 55H+ has only worked for one member on here and I don't want to be stuck with a product that doesn't work. I once used hq but that only made me darker, so that's not an option.

Wich one should I choose? Or are there any other alternatives that will have good results? :confused:

P.S. sorry for my english. In my country english is not the common day language.

Welcome.
Its good that you have read through and you know about the dangers associated with Bio Claire.However,you should also know that there is nothing like the best lightening cream.What may work for x will not work for y.If people know what works for them,its because they have TRIED,EXPERIMENTED. So,I think you should give 55H+ a try.Besides,its far safer than Bio Claire.Or if you want to see some fast results first,you can try a bottle MAKARI de Suisse,(normally use it for 3weeks)then switch to something else.I don't advice using Makari for a long time becos in my case,it made me breakout a little after a while.So I use it to speed up,then switch to something else to continue gradually-and I don't break out.

Goodluck

Thanks for the tips Violaename!

I think I'll give those things you named a try. It's just that someone I know used bio claire for about 4 months a got such great results without any side effects or anything. That's why I have this desire to start using it no matter what the consequences are.

You see... that is what I was saying.What may cause breakouts on y may not be the case with x... however,you know it is steroid based.If you are really desperate to see fast results,well... its your choice.But just don't use it for too long cause the internal damage is inevitable for A to Z.You can start of with it,then switch to something natural and continue from there.
Good luck!

Optimus,


Please make sure that whatever you decide to try, that you are also applying some sort of sun protection and where possible avoiding too much sun exposure.This may have been one of the reasons that you saw darkening when using HQ, as sun protection is mandatory when using it.

I have to say that I would avoid Bio Claire as it causes all sorts of problems. When I used it I observed skin thinning, but others have had much more problems, dark spots, stretch marks, blackening of the skin... You may have been OK the first time you tried it but you really don't want to push your luck, especially as there are other choices as already suggested above.

Good Luck hun.

I wasn't planning to use bio claire on the long term but just for maybe 2 or 3 weeks and if it would change my skin color just a few shades, I would switch to something naturel and save.

It's just that over the past 5 years I've darkened so much. I was darker than trey songz (and I want to go back to that), almost the same color as jay-z. I never cared about being in the sun and I never thought that it would darken me this much. I still haven't made up my mind yet on what to order

Bio claire definitely lighten you up very well but it does cause acne etc after using so long... I used to use bioclaire with good result I was shock how good it worked on me but than I started get acne... I had find something else that work just as good without causes acne...

Please don't use the bio claire honey. You'll be happy for like 3 or 4 weeks then you'll be scarred. Just keep searching for something that isn't harmful that will work for you. You have to be patient.

Hmm but what if I only used it for a week or so? Let's say a maximum of 2 weeks and after that I will use something else to maintaine it.

It's just that I have to see that person I was talking about earlier (who did got results from bio claire and is absolutely fine) everyday, and everyday I have to live with the fact that it worked for that person, and I'm still same old me...

And I want to do it before the holidays come up, so that's an other issue.

And I haven't heard from anyone yet about the 55H+ product line. Would that be worth a try?

It's not worth it honey. You won't like it in the long run. I wouldn't take the risk. If even for one or two weeks. That's just my opinion. You can do what you want.

We warn all the time about Bio Clair but the result is people are still using the products, then they are on here warning others!!

I feel the same!
How can people read the threads on this board and not be able to understand that even if you're desperate you have to forget bio claire :eek:
It is not the way to go!

I have posted the secret regimen towards using Bio Claire in another thread! Please do read!

Newbies read the good lightening results and assume hey why not, then the bad side effects come. It's soooooooooooo not worth it!

Yeah I know you are right, and I'm well aware of the bad side effects. I no it's not worth taking the risk after all of the things that happened to people who did use it.

But half of the lightning products don't work for me, and wich natural working product would you recommend then? Because isn't BrownDeceit the only one who has successfully used 55H+ Criseline?

I use the strong bleaching cream for my knuckles... which is really good.Dont know about the lotion.

Using a product like bio claire may lighten you for a short time but that's why you find oyu are getting gdarker is that it doesn't work in a way that you can just lighten to desired shade and maintain without it afterwrds... it will lighten you because it is unsafe and then your skin in an attempt to heal itself will darken... my advice is leav Bio Claire alone... try using some kojic acid soaps... just to exfoliate and it actually begins to prepare your skin for other treatments because yes many products will darken you or give you dermatitis in the beginning esp skin that is a bit sensitive... and kojic acid brightens, lightens, and inhibits melanin synthesis... give it a try.. I love my kojic acid soaps esp the Papaya soap.. it lathers well and cleanses the skin well too.

Tyr that see how it goes.. it is slow.. give it a few months... anything quick is probably dangerous or a scam...

And use the 55+ I personally don't like the stuff because it smells waaaaaaay to strong and perfumy... but that's just me its not a bad smell I just don't like perfumed stuff that much... I do know that it is safe and not harsh... which is awesome

I use the strong bleaching cream for my knuckles...which is really good.Dont know about the lotion.

Which strong bleaching cream do you use?

Yup I think I'll give those things a try then. Iv'e heard a lot of good things about the kojic acid and the soaps.

That's what I also wanted to ask?

Hmm but what if I only used it for a week or so? Let's say a maximum of 2 weeks and after that I will use something else to maintaine it.

My dear, it doesn't work that way... it won't lighten you to a point and then you can maintain it... steroids based or mercury based creams lighten you for the time you use them and then when you stop you darken back maybe even more than before... no matter what you try to use after that to maintain results... that's what I said before in my last post to this

If you are so intent on temporary but fast results that will actually in the long run make you worse off then you started then use the bio claire but it would not be too smart of you to do this.

That's what I also wanted to ask??

Its good! It works well!

Its good! It works well!

You still haven't told us which strong bleaching cream you are using.

Oops! But I thought I just did... 55H+ Strong Bleaching cream-Effacacite Exceptionelle

Ok I thought you were talking about F&W

Violaename, did you lighten drasticly with the 55H+ strong bleaching cream? And is there any difference between the cream and the lotion? If yes, wich one works better?

No.It takes a little time to see results... I only use it on my knuckles.Someone in the forum said it is too strong for the face.I don't dare to use it on my face.55H+ lotion is different from the strong bleaching cream.I have never used the lotion before though... I hear it is good.

Well I still haven't heard any succesfull stories about the 55H+ except for that of Violaename's.

Could some one tell me from wich website I can purchase bio claire, 55H+ and the rest of the lightning products? Because all the sites Iv'e been on do send to europe but the shipping costs are like $ 100!!

Which of the 55H+ products are you talking about? I think Browndeceit posted her regime and she uses 55H+ glycerine and it is working well for her...

So a while back I was thinking of buying bio claire or not, so before I went on purchased my own I asked my friend (the one who has been using it for some time now, without any side effects) if I could try some. Well I did use it (the lotion) and it turns out that Im allergic to something that's in bio claire (or it could still be one of the side effects you all warned me about). Like 15 min. after I put the lotion on my face, I got an allergic reaction and my face started to swell like will smith in that hitch movie (ok not that much).

Later that day my face was fine again, but Im glad I didn't bought my own and wasted money on something I can't even use. Anyway, thanks you guys for looking out!

All hail Bio Claire!

Sorry about that Optimus.

Haha no prob. I allways knew you people were right but I just don't listen.

I guess I will have to find someone else, but I'll give my face some rest.

I know Bio Claire is the "devil" on this site. However, my sisters skin is lightened by three shades and she uses the oil and cream. No break outs or anything. Not everyone reacts to things the same. I've been using it for about a month and a half and it has not done a thing AT ALL! Not one shade... nothing.

In that case, if I were you, I would move onto trying something else. Thankfully you do not appear to have suffered any visible effects from using it, but this cream is really a NO NO in my opinion.

So how are the results coming in from the 55H+ range? I'm curious to know since I have been gone for a while.

So how are the results coming in from the 55H+ range?? I'm curious to know since I have been gone for a while.

I use 55H+ on my toes and Knuckles,then tie my feet in a plastic bag and wear socks.
I have not see good results as what I see now.Its just great!
Emm... someone was using the lightening glycerin here... forgotten who it was.But she did have some pretty good results.

Wich one of the 55H+ products do you use Violaename? The thing is, my face is darker than the rest of my body and I want my face to lighten first before I start with my whole body. So I don't think I can aply the plastic bag method to my face :P Any suggestions on what to use on my face..?

:eek:Oh Holy Moses!
Don't do that! Do you want to die?!
I use Efficacite EXtreme.But I read somewhere here on the forum that the 55H tubes are harsh for the face.I don't use it anywhere near my face.
If you ask me,I will say use So White serum on your face after washing morning and evening after exfoliating with a scrub-I use apricot scrub with 2%salicylic acid in it.I am sure it would work.The face is not that difficult to lighten... from my experience.

Haha I figured that wasn't going to be an option. Yes I have also read that the 55H+ serum isn't advised to use on the face, but has it worked for you on the parts where you do use it?

And what excactly did you use to lighten your face? Does the so white serum work? And is the 2% salicylic acid part of the ingredients of the apricot scrub?

Those are a lot of questions but I'm still kind of new to this :)

No probs.
Yes 55H is working on my toes well.I am almost done.
I use Clinique spot remover for my face then few drops of F&W exclusive serum.
But before,I was using So White serum.Ans it was really good.Some people say exclusive makes them red... that is why I am proposing So White.I haven't heard any complaints.

Yes the 2% salicylic is part of the scrub.
Its called Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead control by St.Ives

So is the So White serum from F&W or from an other brand? I think I might give that a try, but from wich site should I order the So white serum and do you pherhaps know a site that ships to Europe?

I will also try to get the apricot scrub thingy.

Yes So White is a F&W product.
Check-I don't know which site ships to E'pe...

Allright thanks for all the info. So I will be getting those products and will be back when I have seen some good lightning, that is if they work on me offcourse.

1 last question (maybe I have asked you this before Violaename), what was you complexion before you started lightning ( on the face in particular), and what complexion are you now?

You are welcome.

Hmm... I am so so bad with determining shades. I just can't tell.But I know that I have lightened considerably.

Yes that's kind of difficult. In my opening post I compared my complexion to that of tyrese gibson, who would you say you can compare your complexion to..

What else did you use?

Hello all,
h55+ works hope it works for everyone... I started using 55h+ less than 3 months now, it is amazing... I tried so many stuff to lighten my face which went from oprah winfrey skin tone to naomi campbell in 2 weeks, while am battling my darkened face I had bad horrible huge pimples on my face. I use h55+ harmone multi bleaching lotion. The effecite tube cream and glycerine, the half from a tube of fair & lovely cream... Is working wonders for me no negatie side effect... I don't apply cream direct on my face... never have, I apply all over my body then massage my hands together then rub my face gently with my hands while is still damp with the cream. My advise never apply cream direct on your face
I come to know my breakout is because I change my ambi soap, I have been using the ambi complexion cleansing bar for yrs and I change to black soap with shea butter when I stopped using the shea butter my breakout stopped. I am fighting the scars now shame it took me over a month to understand this... be careful girls we all are awesome and must treasure our beautiful faces.
Good luck to all!

Oh by the way always keep your cream in the refrigerator it makes it work better and less harsh
