Hey, Ms-ts, I'm new to this site as well, so welcome. By the way, what complexion are you (compared to a celeb) because I think that certain products work on different skin color. Hydroquinone tends to be ideal for lightening up acne scars and such, but it has to be used consistently and it's a gradual lightening process.

Hey, have you found anything yet. I've been reading through a lot of posts that was talking about Bio Claire, and then this Diana Stalder stuff I just ordered.

Stay away from anything harsh like straight benquoine or that other one that starts with an Mono...something, those things make you look like ARE bleaching and gives you a very unatural pale and bleached look.
