Daggett and Ramsdell DISASTER

BrownDeceit · #1 Nov 4, 2009, 11:05 AM

I just wanted to let you guys know that I've started trying this soap. And I am so MAD. It's doing nothing but reversing my lightening. I used it last year and I can't remember why I stopped. Now I do. It says it's natural. So why is it drying my skin out, making it red, dry, crackly and DARKER. Like parts of my skin are peeling off and revealing lighter skin. But all in all. I'm not happy. UGH. I'm going to have to literally spend like 10 hours in 55H+ in order to get back to the color I want. I'm so mad.

Brown Deceit ...

FIRST you say that the soap is darkening you ..

THEN YOU say that it darkens you cracks you up but REVEALS LIGHTER SKIN???

Brown Deceit I have seen two two quarter faced pics of yours and i did beleive you were genuine.. But eveyrone on this forum is goddamn subtle marketing ..

WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING IF ITS REVEALING LIGHTER SKIN IN TIME ????? This is the fakest complaint I have heard !

Eveyrone is fooling everyone out here.. This is ridiculous ...

I'm not a marketer and you're making yourself sound stupid right now. If I was a marketer I would tell everyone and their mother to use 55H+... But I don't I'm honest about it. When people ask. I tell them it worked for me but some people it does nothing and some people break out from it. If I was marketing I'm doing a horrible job. And yes it's revealing lighter skin in this horrid patches all over my face. And it's making my skin stupid dry and my make up is just flaking off. I do NOT recommend this product and I am NOT a marketer you idiot.

yeah I don't think she is a marketer, they sell the product in the stores, I see it eVERYWHERE, even if she was we all could just go buy them and she would'nt get profit anyways. If it's drying out your skin then it's defeating the purpose, skin is suppose to be supple, try not using it on your face.

Brown's not a marketer.

Imgorgeous you have not been acting too gorgeous and you need to check yourself before jumping down everybody's throats here about their experiences..it's aggravating.

I have some D & R eyecream somewhere but it didn't seem to help my circles, so I quit.

Brown about the dryness and peeling to reveal new skin, that's what happens with some peels and Retin-A. I'm not sure there's a way around that.

eta: some products exfoliate more or less radically. but, IMO, if you're after results that would be a good thing.

when the old skin has shed (don't pick!) then it's primed for lighteners and/or moisturizers.

I know my retin-a I'm using makes my skin peel like craaaazy all over the place and it has been bring the acne to the surface and drying it out quite quickly. Right now my face is a patchwork from the old skin and the new skin from underneath, but I say from comparing it to my hands, the hq/tret had lightened my face about 1/2 a shade.

BrownDeceit · Nov 5, 2009, 06:06 PM

Yeah Golden Girl, those are the ingredients in the soap. And Eggo, you make a very valid point but this soap is literally called Moisturizing Lightening Soap. Lol so I expected it to moisturize! And not peel! I can't afford to be peeling during the school year when I have to get up every morning, apply make up and go to class. It looks crazy. Lol. And Golden Girl, ugh you're so lucky you're able to use Retin A right now. I can't wait until Christmas break!

I have a trainer training me for the marathons next year. I was kind of embarrassed the way my trainer was looking at my face this week. I told him to pay no attention, I'm just exfoliating my skin. but my lips are looking darker so he may soon realize that I'm actually lightening my skin and I dont want to be looked down b/c of it or have him try to lecture me.
