My review of lightening creams I have used

Asked Nov 19, 2009, 12:04 AM — 157 Answers
I am a senior citizen when it comes t skin lightening/bleaching,I have used almost everything on the market.I started bleaching in 2006 and I have gone from India Arie's color to Taraji Henson.I am going to give reviews of skin lightening creams I have used and most you can find in your local beauty supply store.This is no way an advertisement of any of these products.I am NOT a SELLER.Just trying to give some info to those who are looking for the best creams that can lighten them and also prevent them from wasting their money on the ones that don't work.I will like to post my picture in here.But I don't want to "expose" myself as a bleacher.lol.You never know who might be lurking or be a member of this forum.If you want to see my pictures inbox me and I will send them to you

I am going to start my review with the ones that didn't work and follow with the best ones.I will include pictures as well..HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE

Clair Liss:the first cream I used when I started bleaching,did nothing for me.it evened out my skin but didn't lighten me..please save your money--->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv..._2076_56223835

G&G(Orange Lid):Used this for about a month..waste of my time and hard earned money-------->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_169919680

Topiclear
:I wasted my money on this crap,used it for about two weeks and saw no change whatsoever in my skin tone--->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_207212276


Maxi light
:Smells so good,but just like Clair Liss,it just evened my skin out,but didn't lighten it--->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_130603524


Clear & smooth(ORANGE) ..lightened me slightly after a while it stopped working-->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_231936280

Daggett & Ramsdell(facial fade cream)- money down the drain..will do nothing--->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_179425644

Fair & White(white bottle)It actually darkened me,made my skin blotchy..forget it----->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...64823_s6-m.jpg

SH18 Skin Lightening :still don't know why I bought this one,it smells so bad and did absolutely nothing---->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...y%20Lotion.jpg

Rosance X18:I still don't get the hype about this one..used it for a month and half and did nothing for me

Hyprogel:Another Waste---->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...DSCF2803-1.JPG

NOW THE BEST ONES:

BIO CLAIRE:lighetened me a lot..I mean a lot..but I stopped using it since it gave me stretch marks between my thighs that I am still trying to get rid of.I recommend you used it only for a short period of time and mix it with their oil it works much faster---->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/images/DSCF2867.JPG

AFRICAN QUEEN GEL:OMG!hands down the best gel I ever used. Peeled an lightened me so well,but its so hard to find..if you want really quick lightening use this one..trust me..it works fast..its cheap too(mix it with a strong serum and you are good to go)-->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv..._2076_94864076

Fair & White(Blue bottle):very slow,yet gives your skin a beautiful glow and lightens OK!--->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...0Vitam%20C.jpg

Neoprosone Gel:Yes..did well for me..very fast too--->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...opro%20Gel.jpg


Vit Fee:An african friend of mine told me about it,she uses it and is so light,decided to get it and this one I used the longest, lightened me so well, I mixed it with their oil--->http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/images/vitfee.jpg

P.S. If you decide to use any of the"BEST"ones,I recommend getting a strong lightening serum(SUREWHITE is good) and mixing them together,it will make them work even more faster and don't forget to exfoliate!

There you have it..If you have any questions feel free to message me.Hope this helps someone

Only other product I've mixed with my cream is Retin A.
What are the active lightening ingredients in Vitfree, African queen gel and Surewhite serum?

Now I used African Queen Super Strength cream before but they only claim a small amount of hydroquinone I know it had more than the standard 2%, I didn't know they made a gel.

I used to love the G&G with the orange lid. When I was using it everyone used to ask what I use to get my skin so clear. I can't believe it didn't work for you.

The mixer seems to be working for you, your skin is very even in color.
Not bad for a senior citizen. Lol
