| | | skin whitening/lightening.THE SAFE WAY! Join the natural movement. Ok this thread is for all people using safe and natural products who are willing to keep the board members updated with their results. If you use Bio Claire or anything that contains hydroquinone, mercury, or any other harmful ingredients, this thread is NOT FOR YOU! If your are using a product and you are unsure about the ingredients, post the ingredients here and I along with other concerned members will do research on the ingredients. People are tired of using products that are puting their health at risk unknowingly (amazingly some dont even care, they just want to be white/lighter) and today we are going to end this!
After my sitaution with Bio Claire I decided to go natural and I'm glad I did!
Starting Monday I will be using gluta-blend soap (a soap that is blended with kojic acid, glutathione, and rosehip oil. It is also good at exfoliating and micropeeling) and istant skin whitening effect lotion ( a lotion that contain high dosage of kojic acid and glutathion aswell as rosehip oil and other safe ingredients) and will update you on my progress. I was kinda concerned about the high dosage of kojic acid in the lotion but I searched for reviews on the product and users have seeing amazing results. Although the results were not instant ( 1 1/2 weeks before they seen results) they seen amazing results. And the bottles last 3 weeks if used all over. ITs actually the bet seller on the amira website I orderd from and I must say the amira website is amazing because it only sells natural safe products! Goggle amira majic for the website.
So feel free to post ingredients that your unsure about or comment/review on safe products you are using or have used.
HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE! JOIN THE NATURAL MOVEMENT!
*MODS PLEASE DONT DELETE THIS THREAD BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS THREAD WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE* | | | | | | |

I tried to private message you but I guess you have that feature turned off.
I wanted to know where did you see the information for the Tonique 10x Intense Skin Whitening Cream ingredients? They don't look the same compared to the Fair and Flawless ingredients anymore
The Tonique Green Tea Moisturizing Whitening Lotion does not have any ingredients list next to the product description and I see the price has gone up from $59.95 to $79.95 which is the same price as the Fair and Flawless lightening lotion. | |

1. Tonique seem very scary and scammy to me. Take a look at the before and after page of the site All Natural Skin Whitening Pic's
2.All the pages on the entire site can be traced to back several different websites.
3. Tonique website whois is registered to a
Simone Drummond
4815 Bayonne Ave
Apt CN
Baltimore MD 21206.
4. No company information, no product sizes etc.
5. The toll free number is forwarded to a sprint pcs cell phone number 443.768.5024
6. The before and after photos are stolen from the following websites:
a. Pallid Skin Whitening Formula - Ultimate Complexion lightening tablets
b. Magic Potions | Skin Whitening Experts | Skin Lightening Products
module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=7
7. All the product reviews were written on the same date.
8. Most of post/blogs on the products are posted by a "MARSHA" yet when I contacted the toll free number a "MARSHA" spoke to me. My personal opinion = STAY AWAY.
Buyer beware there are so many RED flags that SCREAMS SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. | Here is a post of mine from a blog mentioning Tonique Skin Lightening:
RENEE: I find it hard to believe that you used Fair and Flawless then used Tonique with no problems since they are pretty much the same product with many of the same ingredients. There are even two Tonique products who names are similar to that of a Fair and Flawless product. If you take a close look around you'll notice the Tonique site is even modeled after the Fair and Flawless website. It's no coincidence that whenever Tonique is mentioned so is Fair and Flawless.
In conclusion I think Tonique is either a competitor who has seen the success of Fair and Flawless and wants to "one up" them by advertising their cream/gel as 10x stronger or they are a company/person who is private labeling Fair and Flawless, nothnig wrong with wanting to start your own business.
I actually applaud the person who put the site together, they did a great job in my opinion. It is hosted on Volusion which is a very professional site hosting company (not saying scammers don't host sites with high ranking companies and make the site look good).
I remember when Fair and Flawless first came out in 2004/2005 
There was a customer who was so impressed with their products she decided to start selling it herself, I think she named it NuSkin, I forgot....
My point is this, there are some who want to start their own business by selling whatever merchandise they choose and who are so gung ho they sort of jump the gun and not take their time. Using before and after photo's, copying and pasting paragraphs from other sites and making up testimonials because you could not wait for real ones to come in is where others are going to start to look at your site/company as a scam.
I think that is what got W.O.E. (worldofentertainment) and their skin creams into trouble with skin lightening board members. There are members like myself who have been playing this skin lightening game for a loooooooong time. We have seen and heard it all. I don't know how many skin lightening websites I've been to, but when someone post a pic in the back of my mind I'm thinking "I know I've seen that picture before!!!" It doesn't take too long to find it either. lol
If a product works the way it is advertised to do it there would be no need for the fake testimonials and photo's. Now I don't know if Tonique had those kinds of photos because all of findings Indian Princess and Galfije posted are no longer there  Perhaps there is someone who may have something to do with the site edited it somehow. Not sure about those testimonials, don't know why they all have the same date, never seen that before. | |

| It sounds like Tonique is pretty controversial. LOL!!! Anyhow, I can say I have tried a lot of things and this is one of the best that I have tried so far. I have been using it for 3 months and haven't had any problems. I don't know anything about the stuff you guys are talking about but, I can tell you it works!! I have spent a lot of money on creams and gels to make my skin look better and I like this product so I am going to keep on using it until I find something better. I don't want to upset anyone here you guys seem extremely passionate about your lightening products. LOLLLL!! | |

Depends on how you want to look at.
But if this cream works for you then congrats on your new skin tone.
I am a little curious about the cream myself and may give it a try.
I have e-mailed them and so far no answer to my second question.
If they cannot answer e-mail questions from potential customers I will not
purchase. | |
