I was born as someone who was light skinned. I started to darken when I was 4-5. I had a good tone then.

When i was 13-14ish. I went to DisneyWorld for a week due to a vacation. Ever since then I became really dark and am referred to being really dark. I am sick of it. I really want to be light skinned again. I am almost not afraid of hydroquine or bio-whatever it's called.

I am 16 now. Darker than I've ever been in my life. For a good part of my life I had a great tone and was lighter than my sis (who isn't dark) but now I am way darker and am the darkest in my house. Lots of people said I am really dark. Friends, family a bit, people. i am so sick of it.

I never was born dark or wanted to be dark so why the am I so dark.

I want something that really works. My big goal is to become light skinned again. If I can't achieve that at least become a few shades lighter. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror every day.

Here are some ref pics of me.
some of the pics have intense lighting but in daylight I am dark and grayish as hell.
This was from 2008.

Please answer me. I am so emotional and sad I am on the verge of breaking down.
I have such a low self esteem about myself. i don't want any other advice except for something that will work and will either make my skin light skinned again or make me several shades lighter.

i am sick of being so dark! I desperately want to be light skinned again.

KRIS P KRIS relax I was light/brown complexion to when I was baby. You only got darker because was sun reacted with your melon in your skin which is normal happens to everyone.

I personally highly to do not recommend Bio Claire because of the harmful effects on the skin. From my experience after using Bio Claire Acne scars appeared on my face and to this days I still have it, but lucky I'm using an Acne Scar treatment to help them fade away.


I've been hearing good reviews about 55H+ chrysyaline so you may want to try that or Fair & Flawless brand. I have never used these too yet so I can't judge them from my experience.

wow that is such a difference!
all i can say is to follow the above advice and you should get to your old skin tone as your just trying to rid some tanning

weezing, I dont like the way youre behaving. Apparently hes new to skin lightening and doesnt know a lot. So why the hell do you advise him using bio claire when you know very well how dangerous it is.
Also, did you want to imply that he lied about his skin colour? Believe it or not, there are people who get very dark compared to their childhood complexion.

And Kris, I really feel your pain. Im also much darker than I used to be as a child. Even, if it is nowhere near the difference with your skin colour.

Woah you need to calm down! I jokingly mentioned bio claire because he said he didn't care what he used aslong as he got the complexion he wanted. If he did take my advice, he would have learned a lesson not to be so careless and do to my research before he comes to a conclusion! Also I never said he lied I just asked for pictures.

Hi,kris.I seen your photos.But i'am not a doctor but i no about,depigmenting chemicals.Since you 16,don't go to the hydroquinone please don't,dont do monobenzone.You can do something natural to lighten your skin back up.like alpha arbutin,kojic acid,tretinoin=vitamin a acid,those types of things.gluta-c skn lightening cream is a very good cream i'am using it with good results with the kojic acid soap for body and face.if you want to see my before&after give me your email address ok!thank you!

Golden_Girl

Haiji, no offense but you also said you would email me your before and after picts and never did and that was a couple of months ago. I even requested a second time by sending a second email to make sure you received my messages so I know you did receive them, and you still didn't send it...

Anyways, Kris listen to what most of these guys said up here as they have taken the time to write detailed information, so please carefully read and if you have anyother questions about what was written feel free to ask us. When I was a kid I was also pretty light and people called me yellow. But, I was unfamilar with wearing sunblock and darkened overtime. So, now I am working towards my childhood complexion again and to maintain. Remember when lightening, please be patient as it takes time and your picts are adorable.

I totally agree with you Meagan. Weezing. He is SIXTEEN. and NEW yo skin lightening. And you told him to use BioClaire and questioned his original skin color. And please don't even lie and say you were joking. Because you were not. You should watch the way you treat people because what goes around comes around. Maybe you want him to suffer because maybe you have suffered. Or maybe you're just a cruel person without any type of reason. But it's sick and you should be ashamed of yourself!

*rolls eyes* If lightening natural actually worked do you honestly think any of us would be doing any of this mess?

If someone mentions something natural again I just might scream. It's all well and good if you're ALREADY light or asian or something and need to lighten just a little but when you're THAT dark I'm sorry kojic acid and a slice of lemon on your face is just not going to cut it....It's just NOT enough. If it worked I'd sooner buy those products and save a hell of a lot of money.....
