Further information about Bio Claire and other products, from our Skin Lightening Expert - Punkchic (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/members/punkchic.html)

Hey guys!

Bio Claire have proved to be a successful product for many on this forum. It lightens and brightens the skin. Unfortunately some members have had some sort of allergic reactions to it and therefore made them darker, so if you decide to use it, do a patch test first! Also, it might not work for everyone! As we all have different skin.

There are 3 types of Bio Claire. Cream, lotion and oil.

If you have any questions about the product, please post in this thread instead of creating a new thread. All other Bio Claire threads will be closed.

:)

For those that have been asking. I used bio claire on my face for about 3 weeks before I saw some lightening and on my body for about 6 or 7 weeks before I saw results. I had to stop using the bio claire on my face for about 2 weeks because it was lightening so much faster. It has been about 4 months now and I am happy with the results. I did tan a bit when I went on vacation, but I'm still lighter than I was before.

I did have a skin reaction to the BC, but I think it's part of the lightening process. I had the dry itchy skin (which passed in a week), then the red patches and the veiny look (which also passed) and small dark spots. I also used an exfoliating soap every time I shower. I think it helps to get all of the dead skin off before applying. I started with mixing the serum and the cream for the first 2 months, and I switched to the lotion. Overall I have lightened about 3-4 shades on my face and 2-3 shades on body. So I am very pleased.

Waow labella great. I've been on because for 4 days now using it on and off .so well see in 2 weeks what'll happen

Ye kpangor, keep us informed. I want to buy it but keep getting mixed responses
Xx

What I love about Bio Claire is that it's very cheap to buy and seemed to have worked for me. The other product I tried was DS (Too expensive!) and gave me dark patches! But the black soap was good.

Punkchic... what was your complexion like before using because?

Hi guys I'm new to the site the only reason I join is to let you guys know the real truth about skin "lightening lotions" it is a good procedure cat first, BUT it can ruin it meaning it thins the skin and stretches it so it becomes ripped like surgery scars it can occur all over the body except for the face. I am an experienced person and how I know I had happened to me I have hideous scars all over my legs stomach and arms. I regret the day I started this lightning regiment. Be smart stop now!! Yours truly.

I can't wear shorts any more I am so depressed I was trying to lighten my skin now I'm stuck with hideous scars will I ever find a man to love me with these scars.

Any questions please ask?:eek:

Trish I know what you talking about is by using bleaching gels and concentrated serums tha gives you stretch marks. I had them on my tights but they gone now caus I don't do gel and concentrated serum no more. I just started with this bio clair so we'll see how tha come up. But to say its seems like my face is getting white looooooool but I really want this product to fade my dark spots on my face quickly as it lightens it. So ill keep you updated and one more thing . Geez! My skin itches a while after I apply it loooooool but like some say it's a part of the lightenin process. So am all right 4 now

kpangor, would you say it would lighten dark kness and elbows? I've been looking for something that would do that. I too can't wear shorts and skirts 1. because of that and 2. because of dark scar marks etc. keep us informed :)

kpangor, would you say it would lighten dark kness and elbows? i've been looking for something that would do that. I too can't wear shorts and skirts 1. becasue of that and 2. becasue of dark scar marks etc. keep us informed :)

It does lighten knees and elbows but it takes a while. I sometimes would just put it on my knees and elbows randomly throughout the day. Maybe 3 times a day. But it took a good 6 to 8 weeks before I saw the slightest change.

Oddly, it took my hands a long time to lighten. They are still darker. Maybe because I wash them through out the day and I am washing the lotion off? Anybody else experience this?

Trish bo what did you use to lighten, mono, hq or something else?

The best advice I can tell u ,is too use skin lightening cleansers only on those area at night time. Because with creams its might take a while and you might not even achieve the results you want, trust me I've been on bleaching products for years loooooool

And by the way labella my arms are getting darker at this moment looooooooool is tha a sign of burn or it's the dead skin cells? And I also see little clear spots of lighter skin. So.. can I get an answer?lol I've really been on it lets say 4 maybe a week

What do you mean by skin lightening cleansers? Sorry, I must be boring you. For the problem of your arms getting darker, make sure you body brush - it gets rid of the dead skin cells and increase blood flow. Hope that helps :)

That happened me too! I had little pin spots of light skin peaking through darker skin.. lol! Not sure if the dark skin is dead or burned but it goes away. The lighter spots will get bigger and it will look a little odd then all the darkness will go away. But it took my skin 3 weeks. Where are your dark spots? On your body or your face? If you are getting lighter skin on your body in a week that is really, really good!

I tanned on vaction so now I have those little spots again, but not much of a contrast because I didn't tan as dark as I was before. And my body is re-lightening faster the second time around than the first.

So be patient. Exfiloliate, exfoliate, exfoliate.

You know those liquid lotion [i don't mean body milk]tha you have to apply with a cotton ball? ok I tell you more. I use to use a african lotion [again not body milk] called ''eclatin'' omg! That's so strong its for area like hands ,knees,elbows,and feet. It definitely gets the job done.its recommended to use it 3 times a week. If you want to ask me more questions no problemmmmmmm llol... and hmm body brush very good idea

From reading that article, I've seen this was written in 2006 which was a while ago. So maybe Bio Clair took out the hydroquinone and have now labeled it saying it contains no hydroquinone.


punkchic ... what was ur complexion like b4 using bc?

I have olive complexion but have a few darker patches on my face due to sun damage. The areas have lightened now. My face looks much even.

bio clair contains HQ, long term usage and their side effects scare me


Bio Claire no longer contains HQ. It hasn't for years.

Oh okay thank god! I was about to throw away all of the bio claire I had but something told me to wait and see if someone responds and I guess they changed it :) yay!

It does not lighten knees and elbows you have to use neoprosone gel for that it works but to get rid of my scars I am taking a lightening pill than contains cologen to smooth the scars I'm using it noe for 2 weeks will let you know if it works its called enlighten.

I used bio claire and it messed up my skin some huge scars on my leg because it stretches the skin so thin that it starts to rip.uughhhhh ugly sight.

i used bio claire and it messed up my skin some huge scars on my leg becuz it stretches the skin so thin that it starts to rip.uughhhhh ugly sight.

Some people have been using Bio Claire for years and have never experienced that. I have been using it for 5 months and not even close. Are you sure you were using Bio Claire? Sounds more like paint thinner, because I can't imagine anything else stretching my skin until it ripped. Or even using anything on my skin to the point of it actually ripping, for that matter. If it was thinning my skin I would have stopped using it before it got to the extreme of ripping and scars? Hhhmmm...

My experience with Bio Claire has been positive along with many others.

Well I have been using it for two years and I did not see any sign of that until it came abruptly I am not telling anyone to stop using go ahead keep using it I am just being honest and if you don't believe me you will surely get a wake up call. I am not the only one this happends to I know a couple of people that has it too I know a lot about "bleaching" I am jamaican and that is "the capital 'of bleaching KEEP USING IT AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF.

well i have been using it for two years and i did not see any sign of that til it jus came abruptly i am not telling anyone to stop using go ahead keep using it i am just being honest and if you dont believe me you will surely get a wake up call. i am not the only one this happends to i know a couple of people that has it too i know alot about "bleaching" i am jamaican and that is "the capital 'of bleaching KEEP USING IT AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Bio Claire is not a bleach.

First you said "Bio Claire Is Very Good But Had A Tendancy To Give Red Pimples All Over Body" and then you say "i used bio claire and it messed up my skin some huge scars on my leg becuz it stretches the skin so thin that it starts to rip.uughhhhh ugly sight."

So which is it? Is Bio Claire a great product that just simply gives you red pimples or is it a horrible product that rips your skin and gives you scars? Or is Bio Claire a great product that just simply gives you red pimples but AFTER two years of continuos use it is a horrible product that suddenly rips your skin and gives you scars?

Trish got her strectch marks and marks from using gels. Like she said she used neprosone gel which is very very dangerous. And about this bio claire once again does not contain hq if it didn't work for you stop making people scare to use it.

Ok To Make Myself Clear Bio Claire Is Great When U Just Start Using It, After A While U May Get Some Red Pimples On Skin (speaking From Experience) If You Use It Continueously For Abouy 2 Years And More It Thins The Skin Which You Don't Realise Til U It Gets Worse Meaning It Ripp Like You Got A Cut And It Heal It Looks Like Stretch Marks But Worse. Did I Explain Myself Better.

OK trish what did u use to cause u the marks the cream,the lotion or the oil or by mixing all of them together?

labella do u mix the lotion with the serum or u just using the lotion right now?

First Of All I Used Neoprosone Gel On My Face Not My Body So For You To Say That Your Wrong I Am Not Trying To Get Anyone Scared "to Each His Own " If You Want to Use It Go Ahead Knock Yourself Out, I Am A Experienced Person And Just Trying To Share Some Knowledge You Guys Are Toddlers In This Lightening Process. And We Call It "bleaching In Jamaica'' Different Country Different Way Of Talking. You Do What You Want to Do U May Experience Good Result Now But Do You Know The Side Effect? Don't Think So.

Kpangor This Answer Is For You Because U Seem Like The Only One Who Truly Believe Me, Well I Used The Oil By Itself On My Skin Which Is The Strongest Of Them All, I Also Mix It With The Cream.

I said what bio claire product causes you the marks? And if you used neprosone on yr face how do you know if it'll work on tan arms? Hmm trish not really making sense... and like you too I know about bleaching even born in it lollll am african so do the math

OK OK... trish I get it I get I think what ama do ama just mix the lotion with the oil and see what happen ama pause on the cream lollllll

See am just using it caus' I heARD GOOD REVIEWS ABOUT IT AND IT DOES NOT CONTAIN HQ WHICH IS GOOD. AND AM GOING ON WEEK SECOND SO FAR NO COMPLAIN YET LOLLLLLL

People bioclair does contain HQ, hence the reason why its smuggled into the country

Are you People R Going To Stop It With This Hq Thingy On Bc? Why Shoudnt Them Mention It On The Product . Other Products Like G&g Made By The Same Compagny Contains Hq And It Does Mention It On The Bottle

people bioclair does contain HQ, hence the reason why its smuggled into the country

Again - Bio Clair does not contain hydroquinone. Maybe it did years ago, but now they have taken out that ingredient and put on the label that it contains no hydroquinone.

Omg!! This Bc Routine Is Working Too Fast B4 My Eyes I Woke Up This Morning My Face Was So Pale My Husband Was Like R Doing To Yrself Looooooooool Omg And Also I Looked In The Miror And Start Seeing Signs Of Green Veins On My Chest Looooool Not Funny But Seriously I Have To Give Up On The Bc Or Should I Just Use The Lotion Alone? Everybody Is Noticing Already How Soooo Light Am Getting And Am Kind of Scare Too At The Same Time The Way Its Lightening So Fast I Don't Want to Get Dark In A Few Weeks Loooooooool So Ama Just Stop Bc 4 Now And Just Use A Good Skin Lightening Soap 4 Now...

First Of All I Used Neoprosone Gel On My Face Not My Body So For You To Say That Your Wrong I Am Not Trying To Get Anyone Scared "to Each His Own " If You Wanna Use It Go Ahead Knock Yourself Out, I Am A Experienced Person And Just Trying To Share Some Knowledge You Guys Are Toddlers In This Lightening Process. And We Call It "bleaching In Jamaica'' Different Country Different Way Of Talking. Yall Do What Yall Wanna Do U May Experience Good Result Now But Do You Know The Side Effect? Dont Think So.

Kpangor This Answer Is For You Becuz U Seem Like The Only One Who Truly Believe Me, Well I Used The Oil By Itself On My Skin Which Is The Strongest Of Them All, I Also Mix It With The Cream.


You said on an earlier post: "it does not lighten knees and elbows you have to use neoprosone gel for that it works but to get rid of my scars "
Now you say: "First Of All I Used Neoprosone Gel On My Face Not My Body So For You To Say That Your Wrong I Am Not Trying To Get Anyone Scared"

So which is it? Do you use Neoprosone only on your face not on your body? Or only on your elbow and knees? Or did you use it on your elbows and knees and NOW only on your face?

people bioclair does contain HQ, hence the reason why its smuggled into the country

Bio claire isn't smuggled into the States. It's not even that serious. It's $5.00 a tub. If it was $20 an oz and I had to buy it in the back of the beauty of store behing closed doors okay. This stuff is sitting on shelves next to the Shea & Cocoa butter.

kpangor:
I had to stop using the Bio Claire on my face for a few weeks because I was getting pale. But now just to warn everyone, I see two large dark patches on my face so I stopped using it on my face. Someone else said that happened to them and they stopped using it for a while, and it went it away. I can cover them with make up, but the patches are noticeable without the make up. AAARGGH! I'll keep you guys posted.

Oh my gosh, sounds serious. When did you stop using it, as in, how long into using it were you until you stopped?

people bioclair does contain HQ, hence the reason why its smuggled into the country

BioClaire does not contain HQ. It's the non-HQ version.

It used to contain HQ, two years ago. But now they sell a non-HQ version, hence the label, "non-HQ".

Monobenzone is actually closer in form to HQ (hello, monobenzyl ether of HQ), and far more dangerous than BioClaire (which has no HQ at all), if you want to bet technical. And no, it's not "smuggled into the country". If that was the case, why do I see it in every Asian hair store I go to out here in Maryland/Baltimore? Lol you're a mess!

Again, BioClaire=no HQ.

So I Suggest Ama Just Use Bc On My Body And Something Else On My Face

oh my gosh, sounds serious. when did you stop using it, as in, how long into using it were you until you stopped?

I stopped using it on my face about 1 week ago when I noticed the dark patches. Some posters have said it was too strong for the face. I'm going into my 5th month with no problems until now. I did go on vacation and got tanned so maybe that's what happened, but even still I shouldn't have to dodge the sun because I am afraid of dark patches! Or this could just be another part of the lightening process. I'm willing to go through changes on my body but not on my face. My body looks great though!
So, when the patches go away, I will use the Bio Claire maybe every other day to maintain, but not every day. I was using the soap and the lotion it lighten my face too fast anyway. I was looking pale. I'll keep you posted.

Disagree but to each its own

labella I think you got the patches caus you got tanned from the sun. tha occurs when using strong skin lighteners. Well if you stop using it on yr face you go even darker. I can't advise you to keep using it either.

It could be your skins response to over usage of the product, give your face a break for some time

I agree with kpangor and lighterrr, I'm going to stop using it for a while. I heard the dark patches do go away. I was at the beach in direct sunlight for 2 weeks and I didn't use sunblock on my face. I hate putting it on my face but I guess I should have. Aaaarrrggh!

Me too I don't do suncreens but when out on the beach you have too

Any new posts yet?lollllll well I keep seeing veins... now on my upper tights . I think I might just give up on because 4 couple of weeks and then start again.it keeps lightenin me but am not feeling the veiny look lolll

it could be your skins response to over usage of the product, give your face a break for some time


Hey Lighterr didn't you post the research article about bio claire?

Hey Lighterr didn't you post the research article about bio claire?

Yeah he/she did... the outdated one from two years ago that talked about an old type of BioClaie that contained HQ.

Lollllllllllll

Yeah he/she did...the outdated one from two years ago that talked about an old type of BioClaie that contained HQ.

I honestly think that article is valid. Maybe it does not apply to the lotion nor oil. But for SURE it applies to the cream. You cannot smell that cream and say there is nothing harmful in it. There are steorids or hq in the cream.

You can smell steroids now? And how are you so "SURE?" Have you read something recent & creditble? Have you taken Bio Claire to a chemist and had a chemical breakdown of the prduct? Do you have some inside intellectual patent information on the ingredients you would like to share? Do you have some court documents? Have they been sued for misrepresenting themselves? OR did you just come to this conclusion just because it "smells funny so therefore it aint right?"

Hun do you go to college? Many time the professor will tell you a research article that's is two years old is still valid information(sometimes even five years old).

I was using bio claire but I stopped in fear of what hq does for long term usage. A member on another board who is from the ivory coast clearly gave valid information about the company. She was not trying to tell people to stop using the product because she used it as well. But she wanted to inform people because there are serious side affects to long term usage of hq.

I have seen many lightening creams that states exactly what is the active ingrediant in lightening products. Weather it is arbutin, hq, kojic acid(which is inside) but the active ingrediant is "Natural bio vegetal activator"? What exactly is that?

I would rather be paronoid and safe, then in the long run have a messed up face and possibly other longterm affects.

2nd year in the nursing program at Georgia State University. How did you guess? Research article info found off the INTERNET is NOT creditble or acceptable in any of my classes or by any professor. But I am a critical thinker. And if another poster gave valid information. Good because valid is the magic word here. Can you forward that information from the poster? There obviously is a concern and I'm sure some other posters would like to read that information also.

I'm in the US. We have the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) and we have the Homeland Security Anti-Terrorist division. You can't just slap a label on a product and sell it to Americans. A product can't have hq and steroids or dangerous chemicals in it and not be on the label. Especially, from an African nation. Now if you want to mention paranoid... Americans are not putting anything in their mouthes or on their bodies, that comes out of Africa, the Middle East and some parts of Asia, unless we know what the hell is in it. PERIOD!

Bio: Life , Vegetal: Of, relating to, or characteristic of plants, Activator: To convert (certain biological compounds) into biologically active derivatives
Bio Vegetal Activator: The active ingredients come from a live plant base. Would be an educated guess. What that live plant base is? They are obviously not telling the competition. And they don't have too as long as they say the activator is vegetal.

I want to be safe too.. but being paranoid sucks.

You are so into this bioclaire that its hard to get into you thick heads, listen and take heed not because your skin is lightening dramatically you think its all "peaches and cream" do some research ,I surely did not ,listen to the person who you are calling paranoid because she probably know what she's talking about!!

Waow Seriously This Bio=claire Product Aparently Creating Debate Lollllllllllllll One Thing I Have To Say Is Tha Bio=claire Is A Good Product And Very Effective On Me Lol As Far As Containing Hq Nooooooooo Way But Steroid Don't know!!

The definition of crazy doing the same thing over and over again expectiong different results. And stupid is signing to a blind man expecting an answer. So that's what this "debate" has turned into, crazy & stupid, so I'm done posting on it.

My dark patches on my face are fading. YEAH! It's been two weeks since I stopped using BC and I haven't gotten darker. I think it might have been the sun exposure. I will give it another week and try the BC again. Keep you guys posted!

Hun, I never told you not to use the product. If you are pertaining that quote to me. You need to reverse that back to you. You are protecting something down to the bone, as if you took it to the lab and tested it yourself. You are so much on the defense about bio claire that you will not even open up your mind and try to be careful. And when I state careful just knowing that if you are using hq, you can only use it about 2 months or so(not exactly sure.)The FDA does not approve everything FDA/CFSAN Cosmetics Quiz Question 1 (http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/costf-1.html)

If I am going to use something for long term usage I would want to know exactly what is inside. I fear using something that could possibly be harmful on to my face. There is a place in NYC where so many women lighten their skin. As result they have black and green patches on their face and also some parts of their skin burnt off. Im not trying to turn into the hulk with those green patches!


I would rather listen to someone who has lived the experience(from the ivory coast), knows about the company, has used bio claire and not try to tell people not too, but for others to be aware of what is inside. And read an article that is two years old. I will be "crazy, paranoid" but I won't be sorry.

Good luck and try not to use bio claire as long term usage.

Your FDA Link was from December 2000 way BEFORE The FDA united with Homeland Security AFTER 9/11 in Oct 2003. Damnit I got sucked in again! Call me crazy... lol!

Anyway, I haven't gotten darker in 2 weeks after I stopped using it so, I think I can give myself some breaks. I might just use the Bio Claire only in the summer or once a twice a week to maintain. I don't like that pale veiny look anyway. I just like the brighter complexion I got.

Hiya, I suffer from dark underarms and was wondering which product would be good to lighten them. Would you recommend either bio-claire or black soap?

Hun, I got it directly through the FDA homepage. Even though that quiz was from 2000, the rule still stands as of today. This here is from 2005 AFTER 2003, it states the same thing US FDA/CFSAN Cosmetics - FDA Authority Over Cosmetics (http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-206.html)

Many people know that lightening products that are made in Africa are not necessarily safe regardless if it is sold in the U.S. You may not have seen a large amount africans that have lightened their skin but I have. They look terrible! And that's what scares ME, that's why I no longer use it. I would rather be uncertain and safe than look like a monster years down the line. You can sit that and swear on the product as if you know people directly who made it, but I will not trust a lightening product that is made in the ivory coast. And that is just my opinion.

As stated before, just becareful not to make long term usage of bio claire.

I'm glad you posted that article from 2005 and it just supports what I am saying.

"Does FDA test cosmetics?
The FD&C Act does not subject cosmetics to FDA premarket approval in order to be marketed legally.

I have said I don't work in the lab so I can't swear by what's in it, in at least 5 different post, but I trust that the product has been around long enough to be tested by the FDA not to be mislabled and have HQ and steroids in it.


Hiya, i suffer from dark underarms and was wondering which product would be good to lighten them. Would you recommend either bio-claire or black soap?

I don't know anything about Black Soap. PM Punk Chic, she is like the expert on skin lightners. Bio Claire takes a long time to lighten on the body, except the face. It has lighten my body but hasn't lightened any scars, and my knee and elbows are still darker.

Hi,
I am interesyed in using bio claire, what type of skin color does it tend to give, the "high yellow" color and brightening, or a whiter / paler color?
Also, those of you who have had good results, what race are, you as different creams tend to work differently for people who are asian or black etc
I'm mixed race, black n white and my face and neck are darker than the rest of my body, just through years of sun exposure, do you think bio claire could work for me?
Thanks for your time:-),

My parents are from the Dominican Republic. I was a medium brownish/reddish. Sort of like Tatyanna Ali. Now I am more like Stacy Dash... I guess. Peole told me I looked like stacy Dash but darker, now they just say I look like Stacy Dash but lighter... lol. At first it was a lighter brighter healthy color and then I started to go pale, which I didn't like. I had to start using a bronzer to give my face some color. And once I went pale I tried to tan a little and got dark patches on my face (which are almost gone after 2 weeks on non use thank God) A lot of users said they started to go darker after 4 months or got darker after they stopped using the Bio Claire. It's been over 2 weeks of not using Bio Claire on my face and I haven't gotten any darker. I still used Bio Claire on my body and my tan lines disappeared in about 2 weeks, but initially it took me about 7 weeks to see any lightening of the body. I hope that helps.

Thanks labella, that's really helpful :). I thinm I'm definatley going to give bio claire a go. Fingers crossed that it works :-)

Labella, you said it took 7 weeks to lighten your body, how long did it take you to see resuts on your face?
Thanks :)

Thank you labella.:)

Not long at all. Maybe 2-3 weeks. But some posters say they saw a difference in a few days others say over a month. I guess it depends on your skin type, and the complexion you start with. And it took 7 weeks to START to lighten. It took a good 3 months before the results were noticeable to anyone else. Bio Claire is not for the impatient.

No skin lightening agent is for imaptient people

Anyone with acne-prone skin is using the cream or the oil ( serum )on their face without problems? Or should I go for the lotion instead for my Face.

I am tempted since I have a small amount of the cream and serum left.

Thanks Labella. I've ordered my bio claire now, so I'll just have to be patient with the results.
Thanks again for all your help. :-)

Well I have one advice as my skin was ligtening fast wit the because ma cousin starting to use it irritaded the hell out of her skin leaving her with some swollen kind of rush, start using it on yr body first to see the reaction. She just using it on her body alone now so becareful other wise that's a good product...

I have acne prone skin and the cream did break me out. So I switched to the lotion. I find they both do the same thing. The lotion was developed for people like us ;)

PUNKCHIC,

Thanks for replying lol.
What do you mean by both do the same thing? Do you mean lightening or breaking out?
So the lotion didn't break you out like the cream did?

PUNKCHIC,

Thanks for replying lol.

I meant they both lighten :p And the lotion is more suited for oily/acne prone skin. The cream broke me out loads!

Thanks PUNKCHIC,

I have already ordered the lotion lol

Thanks PUNKCHIC,

Hi bella,
Which site did you order because from?

Does the oil work the fastest and should I use it on my face or is it too strong?

I have bought the Bio claire cream and used it for a week. Only two times a day, in the morning and at night because of the smell. My sister says I stink as hell, like a mobile afro shop and my mother asks me what kind of fragrance I use. So I stopped before seeing any results. It takes me more than a hour to get to the shop. So I want to know if the lotion or the oil smell the same or if they are more acceptable. Has anybody of you expierienced the same?

OMG you're funny.. lol. The tub of cream does smell like afro sheen or hair grease. I could not describe that smell until now.. lol. But the lotion has a little bit of fragrance too it. Unfortunately, I think the cream and the serum is better on your body when you're first starting because it's the strongest (not on the face.. use the lotion). I switched to the lotion after a few months. But some people only used the lotion.

But if I smell like this and all of a sudden my skin lightens, it would be too obvious that I have used something. My mom would kill me if she knew I was skin lightening, call me a lowlife being with inferiority complex and all this stuff. Maybe its better to go for the lotion or the oil. Do they have have a good fragrance or the same like the cream only weaker?

Honey, it's your mother, she gave birth to you. You could smell like strawberries and cream she is going to know you lightened your skin eventually. The bio claire smells the same, but the lotion seems to have a lighter fragrance too it. It depends on the batch too. I got a batch that smelled like gas. I tossed it.

I agree with Labella, it depends on batch. My first cream smelled like cat piss. But the second one had no smell at all. So since it is so cheap, you can buy another one somewhere else and see.

Okayyy.. So I know a lot of you have had great success with Bio Claire. So I bought myself there oil, and there tub of body crème. At first, I would put on the oil and wait till it absorbed than put on the crème. For 5 days I did this. And I got little to NO results. Than I start putting the oil itself on my face at night, and the crème in the morning. With SUNSCREEN. For about... 4 weeks now. Overall the only results I got was a little brightness. Its weird, some mornings I wake up and I see that my face has a wonderful yellow undertone to it. All EVEN. Than other mornings I wake up and its back to normal =(. I thought Bio Claire would be so strong as to even make your skin "whiter".. Maybe Im doing something wrong? Maybe it's the tub of crème that's not that effectful? Next time I'm getting the body lotion because that's the one that's doing people good. So I'm going to be using the oil and body lotion. But I just want to know was I doing anything wrong??

By the way.. I am starting to peel a little. IDK if its because of the dryness? I have no clue. I wish I get this "white, veiny" look everyone else has been getting. But I see little to no results =(

Hi,
I have ordered the BC cream (jar) and the oil, started yesterday applying it randomly 2-3 times/day... haven't see anything yet because it is a little early to tell. A friend of mine been using it for a while and she have a very beautiful even skin tone.

so I noticed that most of you using the cream on the tub or the lotion... is there anybody tried the cream in the jar?? I have been told it is the fastest and more effective among the others! Please let me know... thanks :)

I heard a lot of people breaking out from the cream.
Anyone used the lotion and broke out too? I have the lotion sitting in my bathroom but I am little scared because I break out very very easily.
Anyway, I am still recovering from the acne caused by Makari night cream.

Okayyy.. So I know a lot of you have had great success with Bio Claire. So I went ahead and bought myself there oil, and there tub of body creme.

I wouldn't call it "whiter." More brighter and then you start to go pale as in unhealthy pale. It took 7 weeks and I went pale and didn't like it at all so I stopped using it as much. As far as your body it's going to take a good few months before you see any big diffrence.

The cream and the serum was the fastest but I went through stages. First the rash, then the veiny look, then the dry skin, next the red patches, then the itchy skin, then the dark patches. After about 3 months WHALLA! Beautiful brighter 3 shades lighter skin. Hey... no pain, no gain.

Oooh my god!! Three month? I really need a fast acting cream because I have a very important event that is coming up so soon. In about a month and I really need something to lighten my arms and neck real fast even if it is temporary... please help!

Hi! I am new to this forum and joined only because I wanted to join this converstaion about skin lightening..

Well it sounds to me that you guys are lightneing the entire skin to get brown.. well I am by no means wanting to do that but I have a skin discolouration problem an di think thi sis the fast way to solve it.. anyone experience with lightening SPECIFIC areas lik ethe knees, elbows.. even places like between my legs which rub a bit and my feet resently seem darker. And I have a lot of spots on my arm and face.. an di think my back.. can anyone offer any advice as to how to lightening these specific areas?

Is it hard to lightening only some areas? If it better to lighten a few shades lighter then tan back to my normal complexion? Are there disadvantages to do that? What exfoliating products do you use? Is baking soda okay to use or harsh? Currently all I have, and haven't begun using is the bioclaire crème.. I once used the oil but I didn't use it consistently and I didn't observe the changed and I mixed it with my lotion as a girl told me to do.. she says its harsh and will burn yo quickly? Is this true..

Please give me some advice on this

By the way do you think the oil could lighten dark spider vein stratch marks?

Hun do you go to college? Many time the professor will tell you a research article thats is two years old is still valid information(sometimes even five years old).

I was using bio claire but i stopped in fear of what hq does for long term usage. A member on another board who is from the ivory coast clearly gave valid information about the company. She was not trying to tell people to stop using the product because she used it as well. But she wanted to inform people because there are serious side affects to long term usage of hq.

I have seen many lightening creams that states exactly what is the active ingrediant in lightening products. Weather it is arbutin, hq, kojic acid(which is inside) but the active ingrediant is "Natural bio vegetal activator"? What exactly is that?

I would rather be paronoid and safe, then in the long run have a messed up face and possibly other longterm affects.

Kojic Acid is in the BC.. if u look at the ingredients you will see at the bottom.. its stated there:) :)

I heard a lot of people breaking out from the cream.
Anyone used the lotion and broke out too? I have the lotion sitting in my bathroom but I am little scared because i break out very very easily.
Anyway, I am still recovering from the acne caused by Makari night cream.

The crème broke me out so I switched to the lotion. The lotion appears to be formulated for acne/oily/combination skin.

Yeah I know 3 months sounds like a long time but I think the BC is relatively safe. With the emphasis on the "relative", there has been some debate on its safetly. I would be a little cautious of "overnight" skin lightening.

I am white with very fair complexion but I would like to even out my skin tone,
Would bio-claire work for me?

Kojic Acid is in the BC.. if u look at the ingredients you will see at the bottom.. its stated there:) :)

Hun, I have two eyes and I can read. I know kojic acid is inside. I choose not to use it anymore. I prefer not to risk my skin.

Yes, you could! Apply the cream to the uneven areas.

But I think something like meladerm would probably be best for you to use.

Yeah it's just meladerm costs wayy too much for me! Haha, but I will try this out and I'll post back and tell you my results..

Hi everyone, I've been browsing this site for a while now, and I've been using Bio Claire for a week now so thought I'd get involved with the discussions.

I'm a South Asian male born and bred in London, 22 years old and of normal Pakistani complexion, i.e. not dark and not light, just in between. Difficult to describe really!

The problem I have is my arms, hands, elbows, toes and knees are considerably darker than the rest of my body. This is most probably due to sun damage but my hands, toes, knees and elbows are just naturally dark I think.

I've heard good things about Bio Claire oil so I've been using that for the past week or so, twice a day after showering and before bed.

A few things I've noticed:

1) The veins on my inner arm are more noticeable
2) My skin on my arms and hands have become flaky
3) My fingers are wrinkly as if I've spent too much time in the bath.

Are these all normal symptoms of using Bio claire oil? Also the oil is too harsh for the face, is the lotion more suitable?

Thanks guys, will keep posting my results in the following weeks.

Hi!
From my experience and lots of others the veinyness seems to be common. Are you using just the oil?

Yep, just using the oil at the moment.

Also I understand you have to exfoliate a lot, as it helps the lightening process, but what's the best way to exfoliate?

Hi! I'f I'm not mistaken, you are supposed to "mix" the oil with the cream or lotion. I did at first. Yes, I used an exfoliating lightening soap. Fair & white is what I use. They have a black soap and a blue soap.

I thought mixing was always seen as bad practise?

So if I use the Fair and White soap my skin will start peeling? Also it's better to use the lotion on the face?

Sorry for so many questions, and thanks for the responses so far!

It was my understanding that the serum/oil is to be mixed with the lotion or the cream. I wouldn't mix all three together. Some have and it was too strong. I really don't know if the Fair and White soap made any difference. I just used it because it was an exfoliator and the fact it was a lightener didn't hurt.

Hi everyone I'm new to forums and things, but I read on this site about the success some were having with BC and considering it was inexpensive, I decided to give it a try.

Background history: I have a bad allergic reaction to Hydroquinone.

After about a few days of using BC I broke out horribly all over my body. It started as a red itchy rash and then soon turned into blistered bumps, some big, some small. On my face, it broke out in little red pimple like bumps. Its SO horrible.

I know there has been a huge debate as to whether this contains Hydroquinone or not, all I can say is that I specifically used this product because it stated it was Natural with NO HYDROQUINONE. My allergic reaction was very reminiscent of my previous Hydroquinone break outs.

Can anyone tell me if they've experienced similar issues and if it healed and went away? I've stopped using BC for the time being, but I really do want to use something that will even my tone.

Thanks everyone!

Do any of you experience rebound darkening with bioclaire?

I found that certain creams that I've used to lighten skin has worked for a day or two but the following day my skin would get MUCH DARKER.

( just in case you're not aware of this unwanted effect.. this rebound darkening which is probably due to your body making even more melanin than normal to overcome the suppression of melanin synthesis by the lightening product.. )

I have been using bio claire for a week now and I can honestly say I have experienced results in just 7 days. I applied the cream (in the jar) 2 times and day to my face, and I mix the cream and oil together and put it all over my face before I go to bed.The results are dramatic. My skin has went from a medium brown complexion (like Patti Labelle) to a lighter caramel complexion (like Whitney Houston). In some spots my face is really light, in others it's no difference,but I wear make up to blend my skin so I'm not concerned I know a little blotchiness is part of the process. Another thing that happened was my skin became extremely dry,red,and itchy. I have ALWAYS had oily skin until now, but the redness,dryness and itchiness took about 3 to 4 days to clear, after it cleared my skin was smoother and lighter! I will keep you all posted and next week I'll include pictures.

Has anyone used bio claire for acne marks? I recently just started using bio claire again along with glycolic acid again to even my skin tone since I have acne scars... I was wondering if bio claire helps in fading acne scars?

I'm glad it's working for you and others. I want to give it a try myself once I can figure out how to get it. Generally I've gotten results from a lot of different products within like the first day as I'm impatient lol I usually give up or think that it does not have an effect if I don't see some change immediately but what my biggest problem is that after the period of lightened skin my skin becomes much darker. It's the reactive process of the body where you're generating even more melanin to overcome the suppression of melanin by the product.
Please let us know if you experience any darkening while using the product.

BioClaire is no joke, the results are very fast and dramatic. I used the oil and lotion. I've stopped using it lately but I'm going to get back on it lol. Ive just been lazy I guess. :/

I have been using BC (Oil only) for last 2 days, it seems like it's working! But I'm having rash and itchyness with some little pimples on my body! But I haven't given up! Will try to use it for at least 7 days to see the result.

Has anyone used Bio Clair Lightening soap? Does it work?

I just ordered the oil and the lotion. I will let you all know what the outcome it. I do not consider my skin to be very sensitive so hopefully I will get some decent results. Thanks for all of your responses. I am not sure if I am excited or scared from reading some of these. Who knows. We shall see. I am like a Kelly Rowland color and just really want to even out my tone because I do have some melasma.

I've been using just the oil for around a month now and it has definitely evened out my skin tone, but I've heard that it's good to mix the oil and cream together as you get the best results from this.

Is this true?

I also have a couple of liver spots or age spots or what ever.. please can some one write me a list of products I can use which are safe and permanent(by which I mean I won't get darker from when I started).. please help me some one!

Hi, I've been using Bio-claire now for about 2 months... Because of personal issues, almost 50% of my family mebers are mixed and most of Exes have always praised "light skin es" no offense to anyone... My problem is, I am lighjt all over my body except my face and I've alsways had remarks about it, so I wanted a uniform shink tone, and just feelal bit better about myself...

BIO CLAIRE was exactly what I needed, it said " W/out Hydroquinone" , on the tube, so I though to myself... "why not"?

My skin had become uniform and beautiful and spotless after about 3 weeks, so I've become addicted to the products. But I noticed that every time I ran out of it, My face went back to being a bit darker and I'd freak out...

Now about a couple weeks ago I've noticed some areas of my skin were a bit red & itchy and I had a rash and I had little blistered bumps on my fingers only...

I am not sure what is causing this on my body, I love the products because it gave me a uniform skin tone... but I am little scared at the same time... I've ran out of the product and I ordered more... but I am worried about the long term side effects...

I've been using this product since July with a great result until last month. This is my first time seeing my skin color so even except my feet.. still got a few dark patches there..
But after being outdoor for 3 days last week my skin started to turn a bit darker even there are no sunlight at that time..
And I already stop using BC about 3 weeks ago.. should I keep applying BC on my skin.. I think my skin kind of thin already.. it can easily get bruised now..

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and its been a while since anyone posted their Bio Clair results. After reading all of the Bio Clair posts I finally ordered the cream, lotion, and oil a few weeks ago and I've been using it for 2 weeks now. I mixed the cream with the oil and used it on my body and the lotion on my face. (Right now I have switched to using the cream mixture on my face).

For starters I am a mocha complexion generally, but my skin is very uneven and is various different shades all around so I just want one uniform color overall. I have sensitive and acne prone skin so I understood the risk I was taking.

To be quite honest I was scared but I am glad I took the risk because so far even though I had a few breakouts, my face has taken on a beautiful glow and I see lighter patches of skin peeking through--no itchiness or dry skin. Since my skin accepted the products so well I decided to start the cream mixture on my face.

To counteract the breakouts I applied prescription Tretinoin and some zinc on the zits after applying Bio Clair.

My body hasn't really lightened yet so I'll keep you guys posted with the following weeks. If my result are good I may post before and after pics.

I'm white but I got tanned, would bio-claire be OK for me?
I want to use it on my face.. Should I use the lotion, oil or the cream?

Hey guys!

Bio Claire have proved to be a successful product for many on this forum. It lightens and brightens the skin. Unfortunately some members have had some sort of allergic reactions to it and therefore made them darker, so if you decide to use it, do a patch test first! Also, it might not work for everyone! As we all have different skin.

There are 3 types of Bio Claire. Cream, lotion and oil.

If you have any questions about the product, please post in this thread instead of creating a new thread. All other Bio Claire threads will be closed.

Stick with it for a few more weeks. Are you using sunblock by the way? :)

No I'm not at the moment - its winter where I'm from so the sun is hardly out. Why? Should I be?

no im not at the moment - its winter where i'm from so the sun is hardly out. why? should i be??

Ahh. I'm from the UK too. You should be using an SPF, even if it's winter because the UV rays still come through the clouds. I use SPF15 which is in my foundation.

Oh OK, cool. Note taken! Thanks :D

Hey, I read your results with the bio claire I'm happy it worked for you. I wanted to know how you are using it? Are you using the oil and lotion on face together? And what are you using elsewhere? (pz don't mind me asking) I have started using it but have got big red spots on my face is that normal.

Hi, could someone pm me the link to where you guys purchased bio claire. I'm interested in the lotion as I have sensitive (acne prone) skin.

I got my bottle of bioclaire lotion and started using it yesterday. I see areas that I had hyperpigmentation are lightening and slight lightening in other areas. I hope with continued use I see more lightening. My concern is that I'm going to run out of this stuff pretty quickly. How long does a bottle of the lotion last you guys following the directions on the bottle to apply it 3X/day for the first week and twice a day after that..

Hey, the lightening I'm seeing is subtle. The areas that might have lightened the most are parts that were a bit hyperpigmented. So, in the past few days I'd say it made me look more smoother in complexion. I am almost out of this bottle of lotion in less than a week and I don't think I'm over using it.. just following the instructions on the label.

I think the reason we have different results from these whitening products is first our skins are different but another thing is that many of us have already been dodging the sun and using skin lightening products already so when we try a new product there isn't much change from base line.. . but someone who has a tanned face for example from sun exposure when first time using a product may see a big change..

I'm not sure if ill get the lightening result from bioclaire that I want... ive always dodged the sun and used skin brightening/lightening products so I may already be as close to as light my skin can be..

Ill just keep using this stuff and see if there's any long term lightening effects though..

Just wish I could find a store around my area that sells this stuff so I could avoid shipping costs :rolleyes:

Oh, right now I'm using an exfoliating body wash

Hi I'm back! I've been using bio claire for over a month now and I am seeing results, however uneven they may be. My mother has started asking if I've been using anything but I told her no - I know exactly what she'd say if she knew the truth lol
Anyway, I thought id post my results to give some people hope. I'm not endorsing the product (heaven forbid) but I'm sharing my experience and I hope you lot can do the same

p.s. I'm using the product on my dark marks from scars but it doesn't seem to be working. For those who have used it - should it take longer?

Omgoodness I didn't think it would come out that big!
See the lightening around my mouth?

omgoodness i didnt think it would come out that big!!
see the lightening around my mouth??
O yea I see it. What are you using?

I just purchased the Bio Cliare body lotion (http://www.thanasworldmarket.com/bio-claire-lightening-body-lotion.html), I'm male around my late teens.

I have acne, and due to my acne treatment my skin complexion has darken.

I'm going to start using Bio clair lightening body lotion, on my face and whole body.

Hopefully I will get the same results as labella.

Also, I want to know the long terms affects of using Bio Claire, if it does lighten my skin will I stay light as long I use it vice versa (God Forbid) If my skin starts to get darker.

Wish me luck, pray for me that this cream clears my face and makes my complexion light.
And over the christmas hoildays I have put on weight, and have started working out, doing situps, crunches, weights & jogging to lose weight.

Will this help my skin complexion become lighter?

I wish I knew the answer but I don't but my bio clare lotion arrived today and I suffer from the same skin problems you have and my skin complexion is medium brown kind of dark brown. You should orderd an exfoliating soap like fair and white

Hey, bioclaire, depending on your age i.e.. If you're going through puberty etc you can be prone to acne. I think you should tackle one problem at a time. Tackle the acne problem -eat well and exercise like you are starting to do and it may help.. with time as you grow out of the teen years you'll likely grow out of the bad skin too . For the dark skin try to just wear sunscreen and avoid too much sun exposure. These skin lightening products in my opinion I think deteriorates your skin (just my opinion). For instance, when I used fair lovely my skin looked grey/ashy and it lost it's natural elasticity and made me look old. I stopped using the stuff and my face is back to normal now. That's why I no longer use them on my face.

To get my skin healthy looking I like to use a face wash. I really like Olay face wash (for combination/oily skin). I find that it gives my face a glow and it does make me look brighter. I'd recommend it to everyone just to try it. It's specifically the one for combination/oily skin that gives me the glow I don't think the other ones have the same effect. Here's a picture-->

I see the lightening there. It does look uneven. You can just cover that up with make up. I really like make up from "MAC studio fix" it gives your skin a flawless smooth look. I don't know if you have MAC where you live but where I live MAC is the only place where you can get decent make up for dark skin people. Just walk in and they can match your skin tone to the right color.

Thanks a lot for your opinion, I find it very helpful.
But my medincation for my acne isn't cream for my face, it's tablets.
My skin colour is black my skin tone is dark medium brown.
Just to make sure people know.

I use to use fair and lovely but it finished yesterday, I liked it because it make my skin very dry [I have oily sking problems] so I only used in when I was indoors, tough I couldn't use it and go outside because it made my skin look like I put powder on it.

I just woke up, took my acne medince treatment, did my routine exercise, took a bath and used BioClaire on my whole body including my face.

I will watch my face in the afternoon and apply the cream on my face again.
And after coming back from the gym in the evening, I will take a bath and apply the cream on my whole body as well as my face.

I will keep on posting, on how the cream is working for me

That's exactly what I use - mac studio fix! I would recommend it to anyone. I know that the bio claire is working because I used to be about shade NW45 now I use my sisters when her back is turned - and that's NW43! Still got a way to go but its getting there...

Hey Guys, I read this message board before I went out and bought Bio Claire, so I decided to log in and let you guys no what is going on. I bought the soap, creame and Oil. I am too scare to put it on my face, so I just wash my face with the soap once per day. I use the oil and cream on the rest of my body. I am carmel -medium brown. So I'm not that dark . I would say that I have been using Bio Claire for about 3 days now. I use it once per day cause I am too lazy to apply it 3 times daily... lolz. Well it did even out my skin so far, made my legs a little flaky and dry. AND I have notice creepy green veins. Is this normal?? Im kind of scared.. because I only use it once daily. Im not dark skin so I guess that's y its working kind of face. But the veins freak me out a little. I want to use it on my face but I had some pimples and I'm using the Tazorac Gel for it, and my pimples are going away but it makes my skin sensitive. When I was my face with Bio Claire soap and leave it on for a minute, it just burns my face and makes it extra sensitive... n screaming for moisterizer. So that's Y I'm spectical. But I want my face to get light too. So what do I do? What can I use for my face. Which of all the bio claire products can I use on my face? Should I try the cream or the oil? Or both? I use both on my body.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and its been a while since anyone posted their Bio Clair results. After reading all of the Bio Clair posts I finally ordered the cream, lotion, and oil a few weeks ago and I've been using it for 2 weeks now. I mixed the cream with the oil and used it on my body and the lotion on my face. (Right now i have switched to using the cream mixture on my face).

For starters I am a mocha complexion generally, but my skin is very uneven and is various different shades all around so I just want one uniform color overall. I have sensitive and acne prone skin so I understood the risk I was taking.

To be quite honest I was scared but I am glad I took the risk because so far even though I had a few breakouts, my face has taken on a beautiful glow and I see lighter patches of skin peeking through--no itchiness or dry skin. Since my skin accepted the products so well I decided to start the cream mixture on my face.

To counteract the breakouts I applied prescription Tretinoin and some zinc on the zits after applying Bio Clair.

My body hasn't really lightened yet so I'll keep you guys posted with the following weeks. If my result are good I may post before and after pics.









Its been a while since I posted but overall this is what Bio Clair did to me: a minor lightening effect on my face solely, no lightening on my body, but it did start to thin the skin on my thighs and my neck because I started to bruise easily in that area. Last but not least: HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BREAKOUTS OF ACNE! I mentioned earlier that I had acne prone skin but this product just really did a number on my face and thankfully it took weeks but my face has cleared up and I will be seeing the dermi next week and I am still on the hunt for a product to remove the acne scars, won't break me out, and even out my tone. Any suggestions?

Hi guys... I have been reading all these posts for awhile but now I want to take a step towards safe skin whitening. I am an indian female , not too light or not too dark and I have just ordered likas papaya soap as it said it was herbal and claimed to do safe whitening with time. I also use natural stuff like cucumber and lemon at home which helps me but only little bit. I want to try bio claire product and as everyone mentions here that it has kojic acid and some natural stuff that makes me eager to try it out. I am posting a picture here and you can see what skin color I have right now.http://img1.chakpak.com/se_images/106604_-1_564_none/priyanka-chopra-without-makeup-wallpaper.jpg

So pppl who have had positive results from this please tell me where to buy it from and what to use like lotion, oil, or crème ?

Thanks all of you and have happy and safe whitening.I want to look like this so please help me... http://businesswireindia.com/attachments/Priyanka.JPG

Thnx all of you and have happy and safe whitening.I want to look like this so please help me ...http://businesswireindia.com/attachments/Priyanka.JPG


I doubt Bio Claire will make you look that white!!
The only thing that can make you white is monobenzone but then that is for vitiligo patients. If a normal skinned person used it, they could end up patchy and who else knows what.

I have quite acne prone skinn too. The cream did not help, but switching to the lotion helped.

It's has been two weeks now, I have been using BioClaire Skin Lightening Body lotion (3times a day).

And people have already said my skin tone has lighten a lot.
Even tough I have acne (while taking the medication) been using BioClaire on my face and whole body, and I'm happy with the results so far.

now.http://img1.chakpak.com/se_images/106604_-1_564_none/priyanka-chopra-without-makeup-wallpaper.jpg

Desikudi, both the pics are of the same girl and the 2nd pic has been airbrushed heavily; so I don't think it's achievable... :rolleyes:

You can lighten with BC though... you'll get results sooner if you exfoliate your skin regularly before applying the BC... I found the "dermaflannel" very good for exfoliation... you can also use the kojic acid soap/glutathione soaps etc...

I found the dermaflannel on eBay BTW; if anyone's wondering... lol

Well I never had acne prone skin all my life... jus like a few pimples... or so but when I hit 19 I don't know what happened and I had like these huge pimple on my cheeks... I went to the dermatalogist and she prescribe The Tazorac Gel and this has helped remove all the acne but it kind of dries up your skin so she give me this lotion its called Cerave Lotion and it is amazing... it does not clog your pores and u apply it first and den you apply the Tazorac Gel. It will not help you the first 2 weeks cause that's how it works... but after 3 months I will assure you that all your acne will be gone. I even tried ProActive... it suckzzzz... dont even waste your money... But let me tell you the Cerave Lotion is sooooo awsome... it even out my face complection and helps with oil and stuff. And you can put it on and apply makeup over it.

When I start applying the Bio Claire lotion on my face I will apply that Cerave Lotion first and because it doesn't clog your pores and it repairs your skin.

Bio Claire Update:

I been using it for like 6 days now , on and off.
but I onli use it once a day. I mix the oil and crème together for my whole body.
I got the veiny look after the 3 or 4th day.
Then I stop for like 2 days and notice that I got this really red, painfull, itchy pimples all over my chest. Thank god its winter... because I can hide it.
I would say my skin is kind of smooth... nothing dramatic yet... because I haven't realli been using it 2 or 3 times a day... onli once.
I will keep posting my experience with bio Claire. So stay tuned.

so for your acne get tazorac gel, im preety sure your derma will prob give you the same thing because that is what mines gave me. She also give a like a tropical lotion to help with the marks. I can give you the name if you want.
The cerave lotion will even out your completion and give you this realli nice glow....do some research on it and you will see how amazing it really is ....it was designed by dermatolagists to help repairing skin, preven wrinkles etc. There is a website so just google it.
Any more questions you have just message me i will be happy to help.:)

Sweety the onli person that white and pale is edward cullen... and you would have to be a vampire to achieve a complection like that.. :)

I think people should use the lotion! It's the safest one out of the bunch IMO. It works really fast on the face, ears, neck, arms, and lower legs. But it takes a while for the rest of your body to catch up but its worth the wait! I did get a few acne bumps on my cheek but I use an exfoilating soap so the bumps where gone in like 4 days. Im seeing excellent results will the fair and white exfiolating soap and the bio claire lotion. I used to hate going to american eagle and looking in the mirrors and my face was so ugly and dark but today I walked pass one but I did a double take and backed up and looked into the mirror and started smiling and touching my face and I said omg my face is so light lol my friend was like "concieted much"

I'm so glad I found something that works!

Hi guys,
Ive just got my bio claire products. I got the oil, cream, soap n lotion. I was wondering which is best 2 use n mix with the oil, the lotion or the cream? Has anyone mixed all 3 together, did this produce good results?
Is either the lotion or the cream stronger?
Thanks in advance for your help :-)

I've never mixed them together. But I've read the oil is the strongest! The cream broke me out, so I switched to the lotion. I found them 2 quite similar. :)

Hi guys,
I come here for some advice with bio claire. My lightening products consist of bio claire oil, b.c. cream in tub and idole exfloitate soap and f n w soap(orange) exfloitate soap. I have been using it for a least 1 week (2 weeks on wendesday). On my arms and legs I am getting lighter. I can see more yellow undertones. My face was lightening but the think is right now my (check) have like this filmy skin . Like you can feel the different texture of the skin on my cheeks compared to other skin.Other places on my face is tryint to peel like my chin and such but I figure my cheeks have thicker skin. I think I should continue to use my reg. Exflioate 2x a day and apply the cream/oil 2x. Is there any other sehggestions? I have seen pics of b.c users n there skin is nice and bright/whiter. I was thinking about trying the lotion and maybe see better results from that. Some advice, anyone? Thanks a lot.

Hey girl I use the F N W orange ecfoliating soap and the bio claire lotion only and I'm seeing amazing results. My face neck legs and arms has gotten so light. I also haven't experienced peeling which is a good thing IMO.

Thanks for the suggestion TuuTuu. I have been using Tretinoin which has worked well for me but I have post-acne marks so I just visited my dermi the other day and she prescribed me Tri-Luma, which consists of tretinoin and 4% HQ. The only thing is it costs abut $200+ a pop. I'll see how that goes. In regards to Bio Claire again, it did not work well for me so I passed it on to my sister, and it really lightened and brightened her skin remarkably! I would say she is one shade lighter and very much brighter. So I cannot totally rule out Bio Clair for everyone because everyone's skin is different, even those with the same genes!

Thanks for the information. LAst night my skin peeled and my texture is so much better. You can see the difference in skin tones. It like a nice bright color. It'll be 2 weeks in a little bit. I ncant wait for it to be 1 month then 2 months etc because of the results peopple have gotten. 3-7 shades lighter. But I can say it does work but I have to be patient by 3 months I should be where I want to be. Weezing, what's your before and after color like? How long have you ben using it? I am running out so I need to place another order. I want the lotion and oil. I am good on the exflo. Soap for now. I get those at a beauty store one the way home from college. I am excited because the results are coming and I know how light it can get the skin.. whats yyour skin regium with bio claire?

OMG I GOT MY FIRST COMPLIMENT YESTERDAY! I walked into the employees lounge at my job and my friend says " WHY YOU LOOK SO LIGHT?" my heart started beating fast lol and I started laughing I was like "I dont know girl, I guess my summer tan is fading" I know that was a stupid response but I had to think of something quick lol. OMG I wanted to cry because Ive used a lot of products and I mean a lot... and they were not cheap! And when I thought they were working, no one noticed it and people still called me dark. Myself esteem was so low! My face and neck was the darkest on my body and that really sucked! But then I found this little cheap stuff called Bio Claire and my in world changed. Im not darkskinned no more! I can't believe I just said that but its true, its so true. IM About TO CRY GIV ME A MINUTE...

OK IM BACK LMAO. Before I started using it I was like Kelly Rowland

By March. UGH Beyonce is sooo gorgeous, her complexion glows! If I reach that color, Im going to die my hair like hers in that pic lol. I shower with the f n w soap in the AM and put Bio all over my body including face and I do the same thing at night lol that's all. I ran out of my first bottle today luckily I bought 2:p

For those of yuou in the Uk, where do you get your bio claire from? I used to find it on eBay, but I can't find it on there anymore :-(. Anyone know of a website or a store I can get it from?
Thanks guys.

Jo,
I have no idea about where b.o. claire is in the uk. I didn't want to be rude by not reading you question.

Hi guys,

I bought the lotion and the bio oil. Hopefully I see more results with these. I will use the oil lightly(because its too strong for my skin on my face) and use the lotion more. On my body I can actually see my skin on my arms back stomach getting a yellow undertone. My arms had a slight tan and its yellowing up. My stomach/back is the darkest place on my body and its starting to lighten up but its going to take a while. My face is starting to lighten in sreas my cheeks on my face are taking a while. Keep in mind its been 2 weeks going on 3 weeks(wednesday). I exflo with f&w soap(orange). It works you can see the brown lessening and the yellow increasing. Will update when more results are shown.

GUUURRRRRLLLLLLLLL I got my second complement today! By my evil lightskinned sister.

I woke up this morning and she says " Who paid for your facial. your skin look all light and fresh" Keep in mind that she said that in the morning like 2min after I woke up lmao OMG

Bio Claire is a miracle product IMO

I seriously advise you to use a good exfiolating soap and the Bio Claire Lotion. Some people who seen bad results use the oil and the cream or used the oil lotion and cream at once or either mixed it.

Nivce to hear your results weezing. My I know how many shades lighter did you get? Lol all those combos are confusing so what do you use and what's your facial regiume? Please let me know. I have been using the oil and the cream together and my body is lightening but my face is SLOWLY (LOL) lightening but my cheeks aren't like the other. Isn't the oil really strong? Its 2 weeks going on 3 this week coming up.

hey, i read ur results with the bio claire i'm happy it worked 4 u. I wanted to know how u are using it? Are u using the oil and lotion on face together? And what are u using elsewhere? (pz dont mind me asking) i have started using it but have got big red spots on my face is that normal.

Yea I have stopped it a long time ago because am already light so it was working super fast for me.. I mixed the oil with the lotion half half not the whole thing... am doing soap right now so if my soaps finished am just use the lotion in the bottle alone

nivce to hear your results weezing. My I know how many shades lighter did you get? lol all those combos are confusing so what do you use and whats your facial regiume? Please let me know. I have been using the oil and the cream together and my body is lightening but my face is SLOWLY (LOL) lightening but my cheeks arent like the other. isnt the oil really strong? its 2 weeks going on 3 this wk coming up.

LMAO how many times do I have to tell you? Lol I use the soap and the lotion. I shower with the soap in the morning and apply the lotion and I shower with soap at night and apply the lotion. And yes I put the soap on my face. I can't comment on the cream or the oil because I haven't used it and I honestly don't plan on using it.

LOL... I know girl. I realized I asked you that after I posted it and was too lazy to take it down. Lol . Sorry girlie. I just received the lotions(2) and oil in the mail Friday. I am trying to use up all the tubes of because I have. I am at the end of the jar and will be using the lotin shortly. Ok, I woke up this morning and the places on my face where it was brown is yellow. I love it! I use the oil on the body and face too but just a little because its really strong! I think I will use the oil/lotion at night and lotion in the monring. I have oily skin so this should slack on breaking me out.I can't wait until the summer time to see how yellow I get.

I've been using it for a few weeks now.. (haven't kept track of exactly how long).. have been consistently using the lotion only and I've seen results better than any other product I've used so far but it is a gradual change overall and still far from where I want to be. No complaints though, still lighter than I was. My hands use to be almost black...

I have ordered the cream and when it gets here going to try that- just on my body as some have mentioned it can cause you to break out.

Have NOT been able to find the oil.

Could one of you guys start selling this stuff on eBay!

Hey may be it out of the place kind of question but where are you guys buying bioclaire lotion from? PLease tell me the site name.. thnx

Hi desikudi,

I buy mines from bhbtrading.com. My shippment come on Friday when I ordered moonday(holiday-MLK). I guess they shipped it Tuesday.

Hey do you guys use the bioclaire oil and lotion twice a day or once a day? I've tried the bio lotion before just the lotion and I think it was too strong for me but a friend of mine who used it before suggested if the lotion is too strong for me I should apply a regular lotion over the bio lotion to decrease the potency of the bioclaire what do you guys think?

Sure go for it... I think the oil is too strong for me. I am using the oil/lotion at night while lotion in the am. Its slowly working on my problem areas. I say go for it... I think its all about which combo nation works for you. I am trying to find my balance. Ill let you know which way lightens me.

Okay thanks

@ REDDIAMOND... dear I went to the site and typed bioclaire in search and it said no results found... are you sure they have it because I can't find it there!

Have any of you used the oil on your face?

Oh yeah, BIG MISTAKE. And to top it off I mixed it with the heavy cream! You know where this is going right? Breakout central. IMO the oil is used to moisturize the skin because I used it on my body and it made it so soft, but I also had some breakouts on my arm and I never breakout on my arm. I definitely would not recommend the oil for the face.

The cream and the oil have the same ingredients, so my only conclusion is that the oil made me breakout.

Ahahah bhbtrading that's where I go to buy my lotions and soaps in bulk they are my people... they located in downtown manhattan.. they have everything or if they run out they order it right away...

See, I wish I had a great hair/beauty store like that? I woulldnt hardly order off the internet. I went to laffeyyette(sP) to look for hair store and one store has f&W products(I get my aha soapf rom there). I haven't found the bio claire in a store yet. I will continue to search for it. I mighthave to go to new orleans. Have you seen/tryed the xwhite? What have you used and it worked from bhb?

Kpangor I live in Newyork could you tell me where bhbtrading is located.

Hey everyone,I was interested in Bio Claire about a month ago,but I just HAD to do more research on this stuff,to make sure it was safe.somthing about it, just didn't seem right to me, from the description people have been posting about this "veiny look."This means it has a steroid in it. Even though it may have been doing good for some people,this product may cause damage in the long run.I think if you are still interested in purchasing it, you should actually got to a DOCTOR to see if it is OK for you to use & find out the ingridients in it! Hydroquinone is not the only dangerous chemical put in lighteners. I suggest papaya soap for anyone who wants to keep an even skin tone/brighten it.



^ I saw bio claire in this video in the beginning.lol

Sorry,here is the video

Sorry,here is the video

YouTube - VC2: Family of Skin Bleachers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQgSB2E9S_o)

That bottle of Bio Claire Lotion in that video is the fake one which has Hydroquinone in it and it says so on the bottle. I can tell because the girl is way lighter on the one with hydroquinone and she looks darker on the one with out. They did a comparison on the Bright Skin forum.

Im seeing excellent resutls with Bio Claire lotion. I can see my viens on my arm really good and I was kind of worried but I looked at my sister's arm and I could see hers really good as well. But my viens only appear when Im straining my arm. And from what I read/heard, if mercury is in it you'll get stretch marks

Bio Claire UpDate

Well as you know I been using the bio claire creame and oil, I put the oil first and then add the creame on top,and I shower with the soap.

After a week and half of using the bio claire... the darker parts of my body like the knees, butt etc... ARE SOO DRIED... that when I tries to walk to move around it hurts so bad like its pulling on the skin.. Ouch... so I'm laying off the BC rite now, and I'm moisterizing those spots with regular lotions... and its still hurting but not as bad. Im going to start using it again... when the crème finish imma go get the lotion.. because that cream and oil stuff is kind of too much for mah skin to handle...

Oh I don't use either products on my face... I use the bio claire soap on my face . I leave it on for like a min and wash it off... it kind of lightens it... I just want my face to get use to the product so when I start using it... it wudnt be too much stress on mah skin. :(

And remember I used the oil and cream together once a day and imagine how dry it made mah skin... wat if I was doing it 3 times a day like it says on the bottle? Oye!!

I also got a lot of red pimples all over mah chest and back : (

Anyway... I will update you guys on what more I notice while using this product!

OMG, I am going through the same thing with the dry skin feeling like my skin is being pulled on. I feel it on the back of my legs, and sides of my stomach. Its very dry and feels like it needs to peel. I thought I was the only one. So should I apply less or stop for a min? I only use it 2x a day. Am- just the lotion. Pm- I mix the oil/lotion together. It'll be a month this week. I can wait until like 3-6 months. That's when you get really pale!

Skin Whitening Review (http://skinwhiteningreview.com/)

Amazing information very objective comparison.

Has anyone experienced any streaking with Bio Claire? I used a trial tube of Tri Luma which has 4% HQ and my face took to it too well, so now I'm left with some areas of my face lighter than the others, and this is not the look I was going for at all. I am now trying to even out the darker areas with Bio Claire, but my questions is has anyone experienced any streaking with the Bio Claire and if so how did you deal with it? Please help!

Wow I thought the max limit was 2%

You would think so right, but no you can get 4%, 10% by prescription from a doctor. I went to a dermatologist... I think it is was too strong for me and now I have bleached areas on my face. The crazy thing about it was that I only used it for 3 days! Any suggestions?

I'm naturally light skin and I'm using bioclaire soap and it helps to even out my skin tone on my face.it works. The soap is not so strong as the cream so I recommend people to use the soap instead of the cream for a first try

OMG, I am going through the same thing with the dry skin feeling like my skin is being pulled on. I feel it on the back of my legs, and sides of my stomach. Its very dry and feels like it needs to peel. I thought I was the only one. So should I apply less or stop for a min? I only use it 2x a day. Am- just the lotion. Pm- I mix the oil/lotion together. It'll be a month this week. I can wait until like 3-6 months. Thats when you get really pale!

Hey Hun, to help wit the dry skin feeling like it is being pulled on I bought the Fair and white exfoilating soap... and IT really works... like it peels out all da unwanted skin and gives you a nice glow... I suggest you get it (its cost like 10 dollars) for the dry skin.

When I firsted bought bio claire products, I got the crème, oil and soap. I mix both the oil and crème and put it on once a day... I gave me the red bumpy pimples on mah chest and made my skinn realli dry. ( I used the fair and white soap to help with the dry skin and it was Awsome!. lolz)

Now I got the Lotion since they finish and to me the lotion works really good and works faster.

I think the crème is a waste of money and time, the lotion is not so thick and it moisterize the skin better.

I have lighten like maybe a shade or 2 and it has even out my complection. ( and I have onli been using it once a day for like 2 and half weeks now).


O yeeah, I plan on using The nutrogena Sunscreen SPF 55 or Aveeno Sunscreen SPF 55 (both of these sunscreen are waterproof) cause its not greasy, it is very light weight and good... so I suggest you guys do the same, even if its in the winter make sure you put the sunscreen on before you go out .

I Put it on and put my make up over it. Good combo.

Another word of advice: Don't ever USE Skin Lightners continusly for over 3 months... alwys lay off it and give your skin some time to heal and able to breath.

Make sure you stop lay off it for like 2 days of the week and use a good moisterizer like Cerave lotion because that don't block your pores and it repairs the skin. :)


Last night I put some of the lotion on my face, because the rest of my body has lightened up. And my neck... looks ligher dan my face lolz...

But I am so scare... it works on my body. But do you think its going to give me side effects on my face?

Has anyone use da lotion on their face?
Did you break out? Get the red pimples on your face? Or the veiny look on your face? ( I got acne prone skin :(.

I know I'm probably talking to myself since my questions have gotten no responses but... The first time around I used this I noticed I got random bruises on my neck and upper back but I disregarded them as careless scratches on my part... now this is the second go around for me and I have another bruise on my neck and one on my cheek, so it has become evident to me that this is thinning my skin... ugh... the cream is going in the trash IMO

Hey I think you should use the lotion instead of the cream because its not so heavy and strong. I used to use the crème but it was to greasy and dried mah skin like crazy. I got the lotion and I'm seeing better results, my skin is not so dry and it is lightening faster. (I use the lotion on my body not my face, but I will start soon because I hear the face lighten really fast so that's y I worked on my body first) Hope that help:)

Thanks for the advice tuutuu, I have already started your suggestion, I'm just so confused as to why both the lotion and the cream list the same ingredients in the same order, but they are two different consistencies and work differently... odd. Maybe they use different measurements in the crème...

Tuutuu the combination of the oil crème and lotion broke me out, I have acne prone skin as well, but the lotion didn't really break my sister out, and the only side effects you should probably look out for is streaking/unevenness so make sure you apply evenly and be sure to notice if your skin starts to thin out... hope that helps.

All right thanks hun:)

You have a point there, But you can tell like by just comparing the crème and lotion, the lotion is more like "softer n a lil more watery" lolz, dan the crème which is like thick and doesn't doesn't really moisterize the skin so well. As I said before, the crème made my skin dry and icchy but since I started using the lotion (I don't mix it with anything) I have seen that my skin is not so dry no more. For me the lotion is sort of fixing what damage da crème did. That's y I decided to put the lotion on my face:)


This is how I plan on using the Lotion on my face:

1) Put lotion on
Wash off in the morning

2)Put a lot of moisterizer ( Cereva Lotion) for 2 whole dayz. to prevent overdrying and uneven ness.

3) IF I go out, Use Sunscreen with SPF 55

4) Lotion again ( Then repeat step 2-3)

Hey peoples can confirm bio-claire is safe and effective been using it for a while now
I'm very light skin like ashanti colour looking natural as hell however it doesn't lighten the hands all to well but nevertheless no one product no hydroquinon so no skin ageing
Plus bio claire doesn't thin the skin

By the way bio-claire gives spots on the face you gots to use something else I'm using a hydroquiinne based product 3-4 a week on my face (evenings only)

Hi I read some a research paper from 2006 stating that Bioclaire contains tropical steroids.

Is this still the case? I know that Tropical steroids thins the skin after prolong used. Is anyone 100% sure bioclaire does or doesn't contain tropical steroids. I read of this forum of people getting strenth marks? Is that the case from some or many. - I'm still to unsure about this product.

http://www.nmanet.org/images/uploads/Publications/OC0934.pdf ( page 3 bioclaire is mentionned)

I think that if you just mixed bio claire with a lot of lotion it would be less harmful to your skin. It would take a longer time for your skin to lighten, but it's more safe because the chemicals would be more diluted.

Guys, you also have to bare in mind that there is a fake BC as well that smells yucky...

I've switched from Lotion to Oil+Cream combination. I prefer the latter. It is making my skin smooth and soft and lightening it.

Question for those have used the products for sometime.. do you suggest to stop using it once I've achieved the color I want or is it necessary to keep using it to maintian the color?

(sigh, I've got meds that make me photosensitive that I think make me darker in the sun.. im afraid to take them again... )

It does lighten knees and elbows but it takes a while. I sometimes would just put it on my knees and elbows randomly throughout the day. maybe 3 times a day. But it took a good 6 to 8 weeks before I saw the slightest change.

Oddly, it took my hands a long time to lighten. They are still darker. Maybe because I wash them through out the day and I am washing the lotion off? Anybody else experience this?

Hi bio claire won't ligten your hands babe I had the same problem now I appply the cream with surgical gloves and cream my hands with moisture then apply a concentrated solution to my knuckles and elbows


when i firsted bought bio claire products, I got the creme, oil and soap. I mix both the oil and creme and put it on once a day....I gave me the the red bumpy pimples on mah chest and made my skinn realli dry. ( I used the fair and white soap to help with the dry skin and it was Awsome!!..lolz)

Did u break out? Get the red pimples on your face? Or the veiny look on ur face? ( i got acne prone skin :(.

Hi yh I've got acne prone skin as well and this is what I do LISTEN UP LOL I wash my face with baby wash clean it with a clean face towel then apply moisturers in the day at night I do the same expect I apply a hydroquinne no more than 2%ligtenier and it workks well bio-claire gave me spots on my forehead not nice at all so I use it on only my body now

Has anyone tried the new Bio claire lightening milk, I bought it today as I've only seen the cream, lotion and oil. I bought it from my local asian store and they said it had just came in.

Can you list the ingredients here for us, sugarshack? And does the label look the same?

Wow, I can't even find it on the internet.. the lightening milk. I bet it is softer to use on the skin. I'm sure it has the same ingredients.

Yep the label is the same, in the box was a leaflet with all the bio claire produts on which told you what the products do and how often to use them, Bio claire has a new range called Bio claire Maxi tone. They have it in the body milk and cream. It doesn't contain HQ as it says on the box without hydroquinon.

How expensive is bio claire?

Never mind. I found it EUROPA - Consumer Affairs - Unsafe products (http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/dyna/rapex/create_rapex.cfm?rx_id=222)

So looks like it's just the lotion? Gosh, this is shocking news! I feel betrayed!

Not surprised @ all

Im so glad I'm switching to funkymommy products. I orderd the gluta c capsules and kojic acid lotion and the shipping cost are so low! I also use likas papaya soapIlove that soap!

What's that soap like, Weezing? I need a good cleanser. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :D
Also, just now I'm using an arbutin cream for my pigmentation. It was quite cheap. Just under £5.00 :)

Its an excellent exfoliater/cleanser but it's a bit drying. My acne is gone and its fading those black spots I got from the bioclaire lotion. I can't believe you never heard of likas papaya soap lmao its been around for ages and its like $3 a bar lol

Tell me about this "arbutin cream"and where can I buy it online

Cool, Weezing! I've heard of the soap but not actually read anything about it. I might give it a try.

I messaged you about where you can get the Arbutin cream. The lady that sells them does and day and night cream. It has lightenend me a bit, not too much. It is preservative free so you've got to keep it in the fridge. I've been using it on & off because the cream is too rich and I'm suffering from regular acne breakouts lately (Stress at work). :(

Will using bio claire lighten my back because it's the darkest part of my body and my arms have gone darker from the sun on holiday. Can I buy it in black hair shops in UK London? What's the strongest? I'v tried everything to lighten my arms but there's little results and only little patches of my normal skin tone from using the kojic papaya soap. Thanks

Yeah you can buy bio claire from black hair shops in london, like sabina hair and beauty in brixton. The strongest is the oil.

I bought the lotion and soap. But damn that lotion smells foul! Is it supposed to smell that bad? I have to hold my breath when applying it lool

I bought the lotion and soap. But damn dat lotion smells foul!! Is it supposed to smell that bad? I have to hold my breath when applying it lool

It does smell a bit rancid, doesn't it?
I learned to live with it. :p

It does smell a bit rancid, doesn't it?
I learned to live with it. :p

:eek:I guess I will have to too. So how long did it take to show any change for you? I know everybody's different but roughly is it days, weeks or months?

I think it was a few weeks, maybe 2 weeks. I really can't remember, it was last year when I used this.
Not really sure why I stopped? Maybe because I'm simply a product junkie and love to try new things. :p

Oh, cool... so what products are you curently using? I also like trying new products

At the moment I'm using an arbutin cream I got off eBay. It's not *that* expensive. Just type in Skin Bright lightening. It's like under £5. But I've used it on and off because of my acne. It has worked good. I would have probably got better results if I use it everyday.

I also use a high SPF everyday by No7. It's called "Anti Dark Spot Facial sunscreen" or something like that, it's SPF50. It's really good, doesn't block the pores.

Get a very good sun block very quick, you have to partner your whitening creams with a very good sunblock at least SPF 30.
Skin that is treated with whitening agents (melanin suppressants) or bleaching agents is very sensitive to heat/sun/uv you can get this outside or even while cooking in your kitchen, in front of a computer or TV screen. A good sunblock is necessary to prevent your skin from overreacting in producing melanin resulting to hyper pigmentation.

No whitening / lightening cream can be effective without proper skin care, your best defense for that beautiful velvety skin is a sunblock and a lot of Vit-C

At the moment I'm using an arbutin cream I got off eBay. It's not *that* expensive. Just type in Skin Bright lightening. It's like under £5. But I've used it on and off because of my acne. It has worked good. I would have probably got better results if I use it everyday.

Hi Punkchic ,

Being an expert on this (ligthening Products) I Just want to ask ?
Is not Arbutin perse harmful and bannedd by FDA for use in he States
I was just asking because when I was trying to get my creams registered by US-FDA I was
Informed that having Arbutin on my creams will likely get them rejected

Tanks for the help

I stopped using bioclaire regularly (only applying like once a week) and I did get darker
So I guess you need to keep using it it won't permanently lighten you

Hiya!

As far as I'm aware, hydroquinone is banned and not Arbutin.

Good luck with your creams!

I think my bioclaire must be fake because its not working ¬_¬
How comes everyone seems to be getting quick results? And I can't even get my sunburt arms back to its original colour... hmm... I don't get it

That's exactly how I was until I started getting the spots. I stopped using for like 3 days and then the results started to fade. All that work just for it to fade in 3 days? Thtas crazy!

Omg davon please tell me everything you used!

How DAVON this is called success!! Congratulations and keep us the good work.

I know you are using Bio claire, but which one especially on your face. And also how long did it take to give you that drastic change?

Congrats!

Can you tell me the products to use?

Hey guys Im worried, I thought I had bought Bioclaire lotion but I actually bought BioClaire cream. I also bought the soap also. Anyone have any experience with the Cream?

A lot of people said the cream is much stronger than the lotion.

a lot of people said the cream is much stronger than the lotion.

Really? I was nervous because the people who saw results said it was due to the Oil. Have you tried the cream?

Nope, but a saw a lot of people write that the cream and oil are the strongest. I would suggest diluting the cream with regular lotion so it's not as strong. I've read a lot of posts and I think the main reason why people have so many bad side effects is because they use something strong to try to lighten their skin quickly, but the best thing I think is to lighten gradually. I remember one person who mixed both oil and cream with lotion and other stuff and didn't have any problems. You can always goggle remedies too. That's what I'm doing for now because I only want to lighten parts of my body that have become dark and uneven. I'm just doing some research before I use creams on my skin.

Hello, And Thank you, it's Been 3 Months, And I Mixed The Oil, lotion And Cream together

Did you use any type of soap?

How many times a day did you use it?

And bio claire really worked for you

Hello, And Thank you, it's Been 3 Months, And I Mixed The Oil, lotion And Cream together

Hello Davon.
Where did you purchase your Bio Claire Products?
I just do not want to order from just anyone online.

Thank you in advance.

If I use BioClaire on the face will it cause aggravate my acne and cause blackheads? Also, which version of BioClaire would be best to use on my oily, acne-prone face?

Also, I don't want to lighten much. Just even my skin tone and maybe lighten just about a shade or two lighter. So what form of BioClaire should I use for that?

I've used because 4 about a month but saw no result but in its defence I was in the sun for allot of time. So I started using it again. This is day one and ill keep you updated.

I am very dark skinned does that mean it would take longer to work?
Is the soap any good?

Depends on what type of results you are looking for do you want to lighten like 5-6 shades or 1-2 shades?

Hi! I plan on buying the bio claire lotion, and I was wondering which site to buy it from(which site gives the best deal) Also, what lotion with spf do you recommend? I want one that's OK for the face and not greasy
