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

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.

Brownsugar, can you please tell me which user those pics you posted belonged to, and what she used to get that way. I know you keep saying monobenzone/benoquin, but I cant find any product on the internet called that. If you know that user, or if you know from personal knowledge, can you please tell me the products she used to become so white. PLEASE REPLY TO THIS. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW, I DIDNT THINK ANY PRODUCT COULD HAVE SUCH AN AFFECT UNTIL I SAW THOSE PICS. AND I HAVE BEEN BROWSING DIFFERENT FORUMS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW...

And ppl, I know she looks bad and all, but i dont care ok... and dont bring up michael jackson, his skin color is caused by a skin condition called vitiligo, and there are medical practitioners who confirmed that.

Anyway Brownsugar, please reply to this.

hi entity33

Hi entity33 in response to your post,all i know is that this girls name is latoya wilson and she posted her picture on the yahoo bright skin forum for skin lightnening i think she said it took her 3 years to change her whole skin color to the one you saw in that pic .if you click below you can see another picture of a pakistani guy who also completly depigmneted his skin only he says he got his stuff from depig.com , either way look at his pic below !

Before

After
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...9/51c9f7c9.jpg

Any way you seem really intrested with the choice of using monobenzone/benoquin i hope these links below also help you with what your looking for.

I cant remeber exactly where it was but this is the link for the yahoo bright skin forum i think this is even the one where latoya herself and this guy talks about what exactly they used on their skin any way if you want you should join the forum and ask them one on one. heres the link browse around aswell theres alot of good info on skin lightening/ and whitening here.

Oh yeah this helped alright "brownsugar", THANK-YOU. It really looks like this benoquin thing works.

But after researching it, I definitely DONT recommend people use it. And if anyone does decide they want to use it, I advise you read ALL posts from www.monobenzone.com

Its a very scary thing to go through... and sometimes painful to maintain.... plus its permanent. Once you use it, you cant go back, you may end up with white spots all over your body for around 3 yrs until you can finally attain Latoya's whole complexion change. And then you have to maintain it for the rest of your life too (and if you dont, you may develop dark patches all over your body). I would rather stick with my complexion than go through all that.

Sorry if im sorta exaggerating, but I just wanna make sure ppl know.

Hi!

Does anyone that's black use L-glutathione?
How much a day?

I've calculated the costs and it seems extremely expensive to tack such high dosage every day! help me with my questions

Whitening

Hi,
I dont think the pills will work showing miracles of lightening the skin. The photo given in the links posted by Brownsugar seems funny. The photo before is taken in a place where there was much less light than the photo of after use (he is already a fair person). The photo after is more close up with more light which will of course give a clear photo. Now a days you can change the color of any photos with softwares like adobe photoshop. If the person took the photos is really telling the truth he should have shown the photos with the same pixel, the same lighting and close up(before and after).

Ok! no amount of photo manipulation can make that kind of change in skin tone, no matter what software you use. this guy used monobenzone from depig.com, if you dont belive me go ask him your self he's a moderator on this forum(http://www.monobenzone.com), and he explain to everyone the process of how he depigmanted his skin with monobenzone.

Monobenzone is a highley potent cream that completly depigments the skin to the point where there is no more melanin in the skin. i dont know if you saw my previouse post mentioning Latoya Wilson ( an african ameriacan girl who's skin is completly white now because she used monobenzone. if you didn't here's her pictures

http://excoboard.com/forums/11263/us...869/143889.jpg

no can you honestly say those pictures were a product of some advanced photo software manipulating the color of her skin i think not, she explains on the Bright Skin forum on yahoo that she used a high concentration of monobenzone, and it took her three years to achieve that result in the end.

Very Good, here you are suggesting the use of Monobenzone which is used for the treatment of a skin disorder (Vitiligo). Please note that Monobenzone is to be used after consulting a Doctor. Please visit the below site to find out what is Monobenzone, the uses and side effects.
http://www.medicinenet.com/monobenzo...al/article.htm

More over my daugther is using Adobe Photoshop and I have seen many of her photos with different skin tones. I am sure someone who is an expert in Multimedia will comment on this issue.

Look SHAVED! I'm not gonna start an argument with you cause frankly i dont care what you think. you questioned the pic that i had posted before about the pakiatani guy and i just responded ok so if you still think those pictures were fake then thats up to you, but i think by now most people understand the effects that monobenzone can do to skin, and thats all that i was trying to do in the first place is inform on what i know. I'm not trying to promote monobenzone in fact i would never use monobenzone on myself because i think it's too extreme but for some people it's what they really wanna do so in this case im neutral, and lets leave it at that!
