Skin lightner for African/African American/Black people????

Amina · Nov 18, 2005, 08:58 AM

Ok I am fairly new on this site and I am having a hard time figuring out what race is everyone. I am not trying to racist or anything. What works on other races doesn't work on black people and vice versa...With that being said...

Hi, Im Amina. I was a mid brown color. Before going to college I hardly went outside (overprotective mother needed to know where her children were at all time

). So I did not know anything about sunscreen lotion. Now I am 4 shade darker than my usual color. Though I love my dark skin it just feels weird looking at pictures of my lighter skin vs now. I was wondering if anyone know of a product that works. I just want my mid brown skin color back.

2-3 shades lighter would be great

(don't want to be too light

). Now is this permanent or do I have to keep taking it to keep the light complexion? Did you change your eating habit, water intake, or anything else? How soon did you see results? (I hope this isn't too much questioning

)

So far, I did not change any old habits(except added some pills & tablets with meals) & I saw changes in less than a month. I dont know yet if I will go back to my original color once I stopped. But I was thinking of taking it for maintenance.

Dimples, are you selling any glutathione pills? Where can I get them at if you're not selling any. I still haven't seen results from using soaps and that's all I can get my hands on so if you have any good news for me.. that would be great!

Nope. I am not selling glutathione. I got mine from www.magic-potions.com but I think you shoud check out other posts as well since there was a mention of a cheaper site to buy your glutathione from.

Amina, Interesting response, but I would like to know if glutathione is healthy or has there been research on this product

with African Americans or African American Doctors.

its healthy... its an anti-oxidant that when taken in high dosage, you will get whiter skin as the side effect... but no harsh side effects other than skin whitening.... and ofcourse healthier body, basically, you have to take it as directed because when you would take less, your skin condition will improve but you ma not achieve the desired whitening...

Hi All! I just wanted to say hello because I just found this sight. I belong to a few other online groups and you can alwys find some new info!

Anyway, I have just now placed an order for monobenzone (benoquin). I have seen it's effects on other boards, with documented photo proof. I will be taking pictures of various parts of my body from the beginning to the end of my journey. I will not be using it alone. One of the people that has used it an achieved great results has posted a "recipe" of sorts, mixing it with water and lotion.

Feel free to ask me any questions if I do not answer them when I post my results.

Oh, just to let you know, I have tried the Hypercreme Extratone B (on my body)and it did nothing for me. I used the Godiva fruit acid on my face and it did seem to help. I used that with the perfectcomplexion.net TCA/crystals blend. I am mixed race, so I am naturally a light caramel color. However, I live in Los Angeles and tan very easily (my father is VERY dark). I would just like to be my natural color from top to bottom.

i heard that monobenzone/benoquin completly depigments the skin meaning it make the skin totally white is that what you want? cause this girl in this picture did that and now look at her .... kinda unnatural dont you think?

but hey if thats just my opinion..

She's on one of the boards that I am on. So is another person that has used the same product, but did it in a mix and he has a more pink tone to his skin. I do not want exactly to be white, but I have considered that possibility. It is possible to use a self-tanner to go up a few shades from that, which is easier than going down a few shades. Right now I look like a patchwork Raggedy Anne of brown and I'd rather just be one color, no matter what it is.

It is this cream called ULTRA GLOW. The women of color really used this alot back in the 50's and 60's because "light skinned" was the thing to be back then. Remember what ever you do to your face, you must do it to your neck and your ears too. It would look strange with a light complextioned face and dark neck and ears. This stuff really does work.
