skin whitening/lightening.THE SAFE WAY! Join the natural movement.

weezing · Apr 18, 2009, 11:26 AM

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*

product, what may not work for your friend may just be perfect for you.

Before Fair and Flawless I used Hydroquinone products and I still have no
problem with those. I think Fair and Flawless was the first natural skin lightener I used.

But I do like to try others, Diana Stalder worked for me, African Queen worked, Hollywood Secret Cream worked ect.. Most skin lightening products
work for me except for two of them, one I tried to make myself and another
one I bought called Skin Bleach by The Spa Basin but this cream looked
just like the homemade cream I tried to make, you can see bits of the powder
in the cream, it did not dissolve well, that's probably why it did not work for
me.

One cream I have always wanted to try is Godiva Skin Lightening Cream. I've
known about this product for years but have not tried it yet, I heard it works
best on asian skin but I still wanted to see for myself because they do have a
couple of testimonials on their site who are not asian posting it worked for them.

what is the active ingredients in this fair and flawless

The active ingredient in Fair and Flawless is Sepiwhite.
I just got a jar and I see they changed the formula of the cream again.
I don't like it!!! It feels like a gel now instead of a cream, I think it's the aloe vera gel they added, I don't think that was in the cream before. I remember way back when I think I read in a magazine that
aloe was good for the skin and I went and bought a small jar. Right
after you apply it, you can touch your skin and it feels a bit sticky.
It took a while for it to absorb, that's how this new cream feels.

It's going to take a little getting used to but I"m still going to use it. I
wonder if they have any left over jars of the old formula?

I purchased some aloe vera juice one time, bought a big half gallon at
Wal-Mart. Goodness...the things I used to do to get clear skin!!! lol

maybe you guys can help me with this prob. I'm new to this forum and I'd like to know what you guys think about my problem. I'm hispanic and have an olive/dk tan complexion. I love my natural color as I'd never want to be white but my forearms have gotten so dark this summer that I look two toned! My chest, tummy and legs are my regular olive/tan color but my arms are a very dark brown. What should I do to make my arms match my chest and upper arms? I hate that I can't wear sleeveless tops cz my arms are two toned - I kinda have a farmers tan! HELP!!! Thanx in advance

I'm not too familiar with skin lightening lotions only skin lightening facial creams but that is what you'd need toget to lighten up your arms.

Try some skin lightening lotions and don't forget the sunblock!!

Let me see...
I have used the cream off and on, I need to be more consistent with my skin
regime because I keep wondering off trying other products.

Sacha Cosmetics : Yellow based makeup foundation, liquid, cream foundation makeup.

Scroll down and look at the different skin tones.

I think I went from Perfect Spice to Perfect Honey. How many shades is that?
My goal is Perfect Caramel. I know if I would have kept using it
more, because I've read posts about it taking a couple months maybe a year
to get to a really light shade. The problem with me is I keep stopping, try
another products or don't use any skin lightening creams at all.

Now that I have incorporated Retin A into my routine which is really helping
with the lightening and smoothing out my skin I think I can get there. And I
have to keep it up.

Doesn't make any sense for me to buy all these products through the years,
lightening creams and peels and I still look the same because I was not consistent. I'm putting my foot down this time and sticking to it!!!

I really mean it this time. I really really do. LOL!!

thats great results congrats girl, im gonna try this sice its safe and natural only thing is that its really expensive so im gonna order the powder and make my own as usual

nikkicute · Jul 3, 2009, 08:06 AM

The powder is 1.8oz / 50g ($43.90).
The recipe calls for 2g to make a 2% cream.

Recommended use level 1-2%, must be melted for use (best in oil phase of formula at 80oC/176oF). Optimal pH <5 or >6.2 for best incorporation into formulas. Insoluble but miscible in water

Melt it with what

How do you check the ph?
Nevermind....

I rather purchase the cream 1oz ($49.95).
No mixing, no melting, just open up the jar and enjoy.
