OK 55H+ products are really hot now and this thread will be used for reviews :D


Ok I'm going to buy the 55H+ Body Lotion Strong Bleaching Treatment - 16.8oz bottle (for some reason I REALLY want to try it)

Im also getting the 55H+ CRISTALINE Strong Lightening Fine Glycerin - 16.8oz bottle

And 2 bars of the 55H+ Exfoliating Purifying Lightening Soap - 7oz bar

I can't wait to buy abnd start using AND start sharing! And I'm glad the bottles are huge so they will last for a while


Admin Note: This product is in NO way endorsed by AMHD !

That's good really want to hear some reviews before I buy it. Sadly, before I do I'm going to wait till I finish my Bioclaire.

Let me know how the soap works!

How are you results coming so sexy?

I have been wondering about these products for ages, after my dermo white is gone I plan to start using it.

I've also ordered the 55H+ CRISTALINE Strong Lightening Fine Glycerin - 16.8oz bottle...

Should be here in a few days... I'll try it on my body and post a review here...

Ok please keep us updated Weezing. Please everyone keep me updated! I am also so curious of how 55H+ Christaline products works on the skin. I'm almost finished with the mediderm Rx as it did nothing for me, I believe it may work better for asian and Caucasian skin. I plan to order the Chrystaline by next week. I know I'll be getting the glycerine but wondering if I should also try more of their products as well. I love the large sizes as well, more product and less cost. I think using a good exfoliator along with the lightening product is beneficial as well.

Weezing how is the Funkymommy coming along? I would love to hear back from Brown Deceit's success and what shade in comparison she is now.

How are you results coming so sexy?

My face is coming along nicely. I'm thinking about maybe using twice a week until I can get my arms caught up.

Really? So it must be working really well then..

So sexy, did you use the cristalline? If so, for how long and how many shades lighter did you get?

Funkymommy is coming along great but its just not strong enough for really dark areas, I need something stronger. I hope 55h+ is my answer.

I was thinking about mixing the cristiline with the strong body lotion bleaching treatment.

Really? So it must be working really well then..

Yes Golden girl, I don't want to start looking crazy, I need my arms to lighten. So I'm going to maintain for a while until my arms lighten up.

So sexy, did you use the cristalline?? If so, for how long and how many shades lighter did you get??

Yes I'm using the Cristaline now! I have't been using long at all maybe like 2 weeks. I posted on here the day I received. I didn't use many products over the summer and what I did use it didn't work. I got so dark during the summer. My husband's friend was like "you finally got some color to you". So I think the Cristaline just took away my bad tan fast. I think maybe like two shades right now.

Ok so I am going to us the body lotion on my body and the glycerin on my face and neck

All of you guys regimens sound nice. Weezing I'm sure you'll find much success with 55H+. Sosexy and now you can soon begin to say the cold weather is lightening you up ;)
... So sexy you say 2 shades! :eek: That's great!

Exactly, I was hoping to find something good closer to winter. YAH!!

Wow so sexy, 2 shades in 2 weeks!! :eek: That's awesome... Can't wait to receive mine and try... ;)

This product sounds really promising. Anyone got the list of ingredients? :)

Omg I cannot wait to start!! I read a review on the 55h+ apricot soap and the user said that after each use, her tub is loaded with dead skin cells! So its obviously a good exfoliator. I just love a good exfoliating soap = )

Punk chic there's a list of all the ingredients on the thread 'are all these ingredients natural... '

How are you guys applying the glycerine? I'm using a cotton wool as its so fine and liquidy :S

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/skin-lightening/all-these-ingredients-natural-results-seem-too-good-true-387909.html

Weezing I didn't know they had an apricot scrub, sounds nice. The only other apricot scrub that I have used was the St. Ives Apricot scrub and it helped with exfoliating.

Fairr where did you get your cotton wool from? How does it look?

Omg I cannot wait to start!!! I read a review on the 55h+ apricot soap and the user said that after each use, her tub is loaded with dead skin cells! So its obviously a good exfoliator. I just love a good exfoliating soap = )

Wow sounds great. I need to purchase this soap.

Erm I don't know just any supermarket brand, they're just plane cotton wool pads

erm i don't know just any supermarket brand, theyre just plane cotton wool pads

Do they exfoliate well.

I don't think cotton wool pads exfoliate or do anything for that matter... :p I think what fairr means is that she uses the cotton pads to apply the liquid glycerin.. lol

HE
Lol cmon guys

Thanks, Fairr & GG.

Looking forward to all the updates. :)

Still waiting for my xristalline to come.. almost two weeks since I ordered my product sigh. I will only be using the cristalline on my body but mixinf it with movate and neorospone.. happy to see others are having good results with it..

You wrong for laughing at me

HE
lol cmon guys

U 2 Fairr don't laugh @ me :p

Lol... oh.. I think I know the cotton pads your talking about :p, the kind you can get at walmart right? I was thinking of some kind of new creative product that exfoliates or something.. ok, moving along.

Sagluva maybe try calling the place where you ordered from and ask if it has been sent out yet.

Omg where did u get it form

I had mine in like 3days, I even ordered late at night

I think I'm going to order from bargainside.com. The customer service is very good. They told me if I orderd on Friday before 2pm, I would get it on Monday.

Yay I'm ordering today!

Woooo how much was yours? What did you order?

woooo how much was yours? what did you order?

It came to 51.28 I think

I bought the glycerin, 2 bars of the soap with apricot extracts, and the strong body bleach lotion

Not bad at all then

Hey guys I need your recommendation should I get
55H+ Performance Multi-Action Strong Bleach Treatment or 55H+ CRISTALINE Strong Lightening Fine Glycerin

I really want to get the Multi-Action one, but can it be used for the face since I want to lighten it? Since in the instructions it stated "Use it once or twice a day insisting on hands, elbows and knees." What do you guys think?

I was really considering getting the multi action but I got the strong bleaching instead lol and also got the glycerin. I get it today I'm super excited!

Ugh. Today I dared to go to my first class in short sleeves. I was so paranoid that everyone could see my secret. Because I started bleaching my arms later than my face chest and neck. So my face chest and neck are very light. But my arms are still kind of dark because I haven't really been focusing on them. It'll probably take a month or two for them to catch up to my upper body. Omg. I was sooooo paranoid that everyone could see my little secret. I felt like I sprinted home from class but I still felt like I was walking. My goodness.

I was really considering getting the multi action but I got the strong bleaching instead lol and also got the glycerin. I get it today I'm super excited!

I got the Glycerin one hopefully that be enough. I also got the HQ exfoilating soap so that's going to be my regime.

I don't think anyone on here has used either of the bleaching products
Why don't you purchase it anyway then you can tell us your results?
We're all here for trial error and improvements to share with one another after all!

Browndeceit, I know the feeling and it's so uncomfortable. Are you using the Chrystaline Glycerine to lighten the arms?

Much luck Klaas, keep us posted.

Hey Fairr, how is your regimen going? Well, I'll be making the order this weekend so I'll be my test subject... all about trial and error.

I am so pissed. Three weeks and I have yet to receive my product.. I think I'm going to file a complaint to paypal. I ordered from allbeautyessentials.. he told me last week he shiiped it and I should receive it by this weekend. Said the products were soon expiriing that's y. called Saturday and he said he shipped it on Friday and I should go online and check for the tracking number. I don't see one. It hasn't even been shipped I'm sure... ugggghhhh

Yeah, I would definitately file a report with paypal if I was you. Three weeks is way too long and they made themselves look bad, and poor customer service. I would be complaining everyday on their phone and email until I received my order. Are they also giving you an almost-expired product and did you tell him the tracking number does not work?

I orderd from bargainside Friday and got mines Monday. I really love the soap and its big too. The glycerin feels like oil and it takes a while to be absorbed into the skin

I called him today again this morning and guess what my orderhasnt even been shipped. He acted like he didn't know who I was or even remembered talking to me like 3 times last week. I told him that I wanted to cancel my order and he said that he will try to find out why it hasn't been shipped:mad: of course I had to lie and say I was travlling on Friday and I ordered the products for someone for him to say that he will do overnight shipping:rolleyes:

I keep breaking out with this stuff! :(
I think I've gotten a bit lighter maybe half a shade with only a week of usage :|

It's good to know Bargainside is a good place to order from, what kind of soap was it Weezing?

Sagluva, that's really messed up how the owner is acting. You should call there tomorrow and tell him your writing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. I would have been so hot... you should file a report here and even tell him he should add some complimentary products (large size) for his lateness and poor customer service..

Fairr, your still breaking out? It's good that your skin is getting lighter quickly, but it seems to be clogging you pores. What products do you wash your face with?

I got the soap with apricot extracts. The lotion is really easy to apply its smooth and absorbs fast.

I'm just using a normal boring soap
I don't know anything good lightening soaps!
Any suggestions?

Thanks I'll def try that today...

Fairr I used the Diana Stalder papaya kojic soap and the glutathione soap, I like the papaya one better as the glutathione did nothing. The soap helped remove my acne and keep my face clear because of the papain enzyme from papaya. So, it kind of works like a chemical peel so the skin will sting when using it for a couple of weeks and then it will disappear, but it's a good exfoliar but too expensive. Natural black soap (which is really brown, there are a lot of fake black soaps) helps clean the skin well and is very gentle, I now get mine at the flea market or online. This time I'm going to get the Likas papaya soap on Amazon since I read good things about it and it's only half the price of the diana stalder brand. 55H+ looks like they have good soap too that lasts long.

Weezing what's the name of the 55H+ lotion and do you see any lightening yet?

Sagluva I hope you get your products soon, because that guy is wrong and unprofessional.

Finally received my cristalline.. it's huge and heavily perfumed... but goes on very smoothly...

I've used it once on my body so far... will keep you guys updated on my progress... if any... lol

I hope it lightens well for you. How does the perfume scent smell, does it smell nice?

Yeah, the scent is quite pleasant although I'd have preferred it to be less perfumed...

I see, keep us updated with your progress.

OK I've been using the body lotion for 3 days on my body and the glycerin for 4 days on my face and so far my hands, arms, thighs, and legs are lighter maybe like a half shade so the lotion is working YAY. I can tell my face is getting a little lighter but its not noticeable. Be back with another update in 4 days!

That's great and it's only been 4 days and you're already lightening. I can't till mine comes in the mail.

In just 3-4 days and already lightening on the body? That is really fast. Are you using an exfoliator as well?

Oh wow. So the lotion is really good? I should have to try that on my body. Which lotion is it specifically? They have so many!

In just 3-4 days and already lightening on the body? that is really fast. Are you using an exfoliator as well?

Yup the 55h+ soap with apricot extracts but I think its to rough for my face. Could that be why results are so slow on my face? Its weird because usually my face is the first to lighten before anything else lol

I think its best that people state their race and skin tone. Because I feel that certain products work better on Lightskin black people/Whites/Asians. I am a darkskin black woman, and this cream was not potent enough to make any real difference in my complexion.

DarkSkinGirl. When did you use the cream? And which cream? There are several different products from 55H+. And my original skin tone is probably around Kelly Rowland's. But I'm this right now http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ND920tPjWkA/SPVZCjSomrI/AAAAAAAAPTI/TeX68NZsLMk/s400/garcelle+leopard+face.jpg but I've used several different products since I was 15/16. The Christaline didn't take me from Kelly Rowland to Garcelle's complexion. But it did lighten me about 3 shades. I'm surprised it didn't work on you. This just proves that what works for some may not work for others.

Oh I must try this other product your doing! I might mix in the glycerine into it

Oh dear this is starting to sound like bio claire all over again... haha

Oh God. Don't say that!! I've never tried bio claire but I've heard some frightening things about it!! I truly hope this doesn't give us the same results as that. Blah! Well. I'm using it in moderation now anyway.

No I'm sure it won't!
Sorry!

no im sure it won't!
sorry!

Lol you don't have to say sorry!! I'm not mad! I just always type with exclamation points. Lol. I don't know why! I guess I'm just always excited? Lol.

Omg my friend told me my face looks really dark... I'm so sad. I think I'm going to mix my little sample bottle of the strong lotion with the glycerin for my face because the lotion is doing wonders for my bod

I cancelled my order on allbeauty essentials after having to wait three weeks for my order and I ordered from bargain side and now I am being told they are out so they will ship it next week when it comes in stock? I must have the worst luck:mad:

Well, that's good that you cancelled. Amazon I'm sure also sells this and you can even look at the seller's reputation and reviews, which is a big plus. Also, others have purchased 55H+ at Top Skin Clear so you can ask of other's experiences. Don't let things get you down, at least you were able to get your money back and will be on your way soon towards your goal.

Well my new little mix I created absorbs in the skin fast. I hope I see results on my face

What was the mix?

Omg my friend told me my face looks really dark....I'm so sad. I think I'm gonna mix my little sample bottle of the strong lotion with the glycerin for my face because the lotion is doing wonders for my bod

Hey guys! Today will be my third day using the glycerine on my face and my face has taken on a dark brown reddish look and my skin is kind of peeling. I don't look too cute right now, my makeup actually makes me look worse. Browndeceit, I don't recall you saying that it will make your skin peel? I'm also using a papaya and vanilla soap I forgot from who, I know papaya makes your skin peel but I've using it for like a month and it doesn't seem to do much anymore anyway. Should I stick it out? I got two pimples already but that can be my menstrual coming. Any good cleansers that keep pimples away? Thanks

What is the % Hydroquinone? How many shades lighter can I get with this?The bottle sounds big, does the cream turn brown? I find that creams with brown around the cap don't work and make me browner. I think that was Topiclear in the big tall bottle

On which product? 55H+ has a few different products. If you mean the 55H+ Chrystalline I do not believe it has HQ

I want something that actually has chemicals.. that sounds bad but I don't believe "natural" never does it as good as a chemical would

It didn't make my skin peel at all. Or make me dry at all.. . Maybe it's not for your skin? Everyone has different reactions. Anyone else's skin peel while using the glycerin? It's a really oil based product. So I find this odd. Must not be for you. What works for others won't always work for u

Where did you get that it has hq in it?
It doesn't

"Extreme Body Lotion Strong Bleaching"
Hydroquinone free? What does it have?

My skin has'nt peeled with the Cristaline but yes the papaya soap will make you peel. Maybe the soap along with the cristaline is causing the peeling

Hey guys... im new to this crystalline thing.. is it giving good results . Is this natural?? And what are the side effects... please tell me and do also write down where I can buy it from... can I get it from eBay or something?? I have an indian skin... thnx and happy lightening to all of you!

Its doing nothing for my face and neck I'm getting something else for my face and neck

Thanks ladies. Maybe it is the papaya soap... hmm, but I'm going to keep at it for a little while longer, see what happens. Hopefully nothing bad. I will keep you guys posted.

Hi guys, I'm going to try the Crystaline and the body lotiion with the green writing on the label. I will post my results as well to help others evaluate. Actually, let me 1st introduce myself as you guys are probably looking like "who is this new chick." My old username was "Its A New Day" (with one "s" after "Its"), and I hopped on the bio claire bandwaggon when it was hot. Deleted my account and stopped using bio claire (it worked on my face, thinned the skin on my neck to where scrubbing in the shower was giving me bruises, noticed thinning on my arms and legs but no overall lightening results on my body. Reallly lightened my sister who is about 2-3 shades lighter than me [ I am about a shade darker than kelly rowland]). So I stopped using bio claire and used Tri-Luma (4% HQ with tretinoin), but it was soooo strong that it LITERALLY BLEACHED MY FACE BY PEELING OFF CHUNKS OF PIGMENT WITHIN DAYS. So I said to hell with lightening I just want to look normal because my face was so many different colors. Ok over the summer got my pigment back, got a prescription for real Retin-A Micro (for acne) and will not be lightening my face anytime soon, but I am really trying to lighten my body because my arms go SO DARK after the summer. Ok I know that was a mouthful but it is good to establish some rapport before just jumping in here, so that is my story. I used the crystalline and lotion for like 3 days, then switched to using Othine right now (for a week now, which is 3% HQ), no results so far. I guess Ill go back to the Crystalline since you guys are seeing results, but I hate hopping from lightening products so I hope this works. As I said I'll post results within the week or month.

My 3rd day using the cristaline (using it only on my back btw)... I find it kind of sticky... hours after applying it, it still feels sticky on the skin... is it the same for you guys?

My 3rd day using the cristaline (using it only on my back btw)...I find it kinda sticky...hours after applying it, it still feels sticky on the skin...is it the same for you guys??

Yep. I apply it on my face neck and chest. I never sleep with it on my skin. I apply. Let it soak in for about 5-8 hours. Then take a shower or wash my face and get it all off. Let my skin sit dry for about an hour without any product. Then apply a nice moisturizer for when I sleep. It's an all day event for me. Lol. But I only do it once or twice a week. Three times max!

Yes its sticky

"Extreme Body Lotion Strong Bleaching"
Hydroquinone free? What does it have?
... Are you my twin? I notice our names are very similar..
I don't believe the chrystaline will turn brown, usually products that contains hydroquinone will turn brown due to oxidation and will nolonger become effective.

Welcome Itss A New Day, possibly try using a skin lightener for about 1 month to see if you notice any lightening changes since the skin cells shed within about every 28 days

Lol, GGGGGGIRL :)

Yes I know, it's hydroquinone free,, but what IS it that makes it effective, anybody know? Since it's not Hydroquinone.

Hi everyone,can someone please tell me where I can purchase the crystalline 55h+ online ?any answers would be gretaly appreciated.

Anyone have before and after picture. I want some proof in the pudding.

Mine is somewhere around here if you are willing to do some digging.

Thanks BrownDeceit and so sexy... I absolutely hate the stickiness... lol

Is the stickiness that bad? I guess the consistency of much oil and glycerin can be uncomfortable. Does it absorb in after a while or sits on the skin?

Browndeceit, I was thinking maybe a potent vitamin C serum will help give a nice natural looking glow to the skin.

It takes me like... at least 4 hours for it to completely absorb. If not more. I don't like to go to sleep with it on. So sometimes I even just wash it off because I'm so restless with it. And oooo! Good idea Golden! I'll def try that. Do you recommend any specific one?

Lol, GGGGGGIRL :)

Yes I know, it's hydroquinone free,,,, but what IS it that makes it effective, anybody know? Since it's not Hydroquinone.

Finally my 55H+ Cristaline came in the mail and you guys are right it's huge! I don't like the smell reminds me of someone who smelled like it. I also got the 55H+ soap so going to be trying that as well.

I'll be posting my results/progress

55H+ Exfoliating Purifying Lightening Soap With Carrot Oil & yes Glycerine one.

OK, thanks!

Trying to learn about the soaps

I have found the Fair and White AHA exfoliating soap to do wonders; so much dead skin sheds that you may need to clean your tub with each use lol, but it is a bit on the pricey side for $10 a bar. Good stuff though

OK I'm done with 55h+ lol its doing nothing for my face and neck absolutely nothing! Never in my life have a tried a product that didn't lighten my face and neck sooo I'm done! I have two big bottles of clycerin and the body lotion lol o god! Who wants it?? However, I do like the soap : )

Which soap are you using? And I'm sorry it didn't work for you. :( Hydroquinone doesn't work for me, so I understand your frustration of using a product where others see results and you see none. :(

Been using this cream called about time.. an amino peptide complex, 10,000 units of vitamin e, vitamin c and alpha hydroxy... works fantastic.. omg most of my black spots are clearing in less than two weeks... my mom was shocked.. works great.. I am now mixing it with fair and white serum and fair and white whitenizer gel on my face for lightning.. works great and using a vitamin c toner and taking fish oil and vitamin c pills... still waiting on my chystalline.. after all the stories of people breaking out, I def won't be putting it on my face.LOL.

This is what I have found so far with Vitamin C serums, I'll have to look deeper though.

Sorry to hear you didn't see any results.. did you see any results on your body using the cristalline? I plan to only use it on my body.. scared of getting breakouts since it took me like two months to clear the cystic pimples I got from putting movate on my face one time by accident.

i'm using the avalon organic vitamin c toner on my face.. works great..been using it for about two weeks now i think.

Does the vitamin c toner give you a certain undertone? Like what does it do exactly?

Does the vitamin c toner give you a certain undertone? like what does it do exactly?

Gives you a natural glow immediately after you put it on... can feel a little sticky though.. smells great. Helps improve your skin tone.. I apply a vitamin c moisturizer after and I take vitamin c pills. Makes your skin look healthy and clears imperfections.. love it.. I don't think it alone will give a huge difference but combined with a great regimen, it will improve your skin a lot.

Brwon deceit did the fish oil pills lighten your skin or only get rid of the acne? I am taking them right now.. love it.

I didn't use on my body only on my face and neck and I seen no result! The lotion did work a little on my body though. And I'm tired of typing the name of the soap I'm using its right there in the intro post OMG lol

ok im done with 55h+ lol its doing nothing for my face and neck absolutely nothing! never in my life have a tried a product that didnt lighten my face n neck sooo im done! i have two big bottles of clycerin and the body lotion lol o god! who wants it??? however, i do like the soap : )

How long had you been using it before you threw in the towel? And what shade are you in comparison to a celeb... ok now you're gettign me discouraged... =-/

Aww man I just started using cristaline yesterday, no results yet of course, but Weezing got no results feel like I wasted money.

That sucks!

I've noticed the more popularly, purchased, discussed lightening products (such as Fair&Lovely, Melederm, Crystaline), the less effective they actually are!

Why is that? Placebo effects or something?

Oh wow one person didn't get results after using it for most likely less than 20 days (the recommended minimum period on the package) and suddenly it's a product that's not effective. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't jump to conclusions, people. Of course it won't work for everyone probably, but for some people it's obviously been working.

That's true just because it didn't work for one person doesn't mean it's not going to work for you. Also, it was only used less than two weeks, so that just goes to show it wasn't even used for a long time.

OK and what's your point? My face got darker so don't think that I'm lazy and I'm expecting fast results its just something happened that wasn't supposed to happen! I don't care if I used it less than a week or less than a day, if some weird is happening I'm going to stop.

And @ vicky, where did you get that info from? There's nothing on the package that says wait 20 days for results what are you talking about?

Like I said, the lotion worked on my body, the glycerin did nothing for my face and neck and I'm moving on to rosance.

ok and whats your point? my face got darker so dont think that im lazy and im expecting fast results its just something happened that wasnt supposed to happen! i dont care if i used it less than a week or less than a day, if some weird is happening im gonna stop.

Okay, I never stated that you were lazy. I was just saying that you used for like few days and shouldn't be so quick to judge. Maybe you should reread and comprehended few posts above you because I wasn't responding to you.

Ok so Im not sure if any of you are using any of the 55H+ lotions/creams with your regimen, but I am using the 55H+ Performance Multi Action lotion with the green label, and I just took a shower and applied and noticed some yellowing of the cream around the opening of the bottle... like crusted yellow cream... should I be concerned; is this common with natural ingredients or does this indicate a small level of HQ? Has anyone else noticed this with their 55H+ lotions??

My mother has the one with the orange writing on it. Not sure what it's called. But it doesn't have any yellowing. So maybe you should be a little concerned. Check the dates on the bottle maybe?

Brwon deceit did the fish oil pills lighten ur skin or only get rid of the acne? i am taking em right now.. love it.

Hey Sagluva! I LOVE the fish oil pills too. And they don't make my skin lighter. But they make it BRIGHTER. Like it gives it this amazingly healthy glow if that makes any sense. And yes! They keep my skin clear. I love them soooo much. What effects is it having on your skin?

^ fish oils? Whatta about good 'ol cod liver? Will that help lighten me? :)

Cod liver oil... eewww.

How long did it take for you all to see the benefits of the Fish oils and what doses do you take?

It can indicate three things.. either its expired,contains hQ or its just strong!

Lets hope its not the latter as there is no expiration date =-/

It took maybe about 5 days? And I take between 3-6 pills a day. One day 3 next day 4 next 3 next day 5 next day 3 next day 6. You have to be careful because it can cause blood thinning and internal bleeding if you really OD on it.

Don't all those fish oil pills give you fish burps? I used to take two a day and I could not stand the lingering smell of fish oil that came up when I burped. :eek: If you use a brand that doesn't give fish burps (there are some out there I think) please do share. My brand was Nature Made

cod liver oil...eewww.

I take nature made.. 1200 mg.. Two a day and also a vitamin c pill... it helps me with my acne.. not sure if the fish oil pills alone would work but with my regimen, my pimples are under control.

Yeah. I burp like CRAZY. But that is not much of a sacrifice when it comes to getting clear skin!

:p

*BURP!*

Yeah. I burp like CRAZY. But that is not much of a sacrifice when it comes to getting clear skin!

Hmm... good point

Lol... fish burps, that's funny. I may have to take a small dose then as I am anemic and can't afford to have thinned blood. But, maybe 1 or 2 pills a day may be best for me along with vitamin c since omega fatty acids are very good for the health?

I would suggest asking your doctor first. To see what she/he recommends. When I get back home I'm going to ask my mother to take me to the doctor so I can see what she recommends. I haven't had any bad side effects (by the grace of God), but I'm just one of those people that likes to be extra careful. It's actually pretty RARE. Very RARE to have any bad side effects from taking fish oil pills. You'd have to be like taking ten a day. Lol.

I agree. Best to talk with the doc and see what they suggest. I only want to take enough to have nice clear skin and any other benefits.

How is the 55H+ lightening coming along Brown?

I haven't seen any results yet with the Crystalline and Im getting antsy, and thinking maybe its not strong enough for me... Im still sticking it through at least until I get my new products in the mail. So discouraged right now =-(

How many days have you been using it?

How many days have you been using it?

Wasn't Brown putting it on like 2 or 3xs a day though?:confused:

I don't know. I'll have to ask her. So many posts and products being posted I forget.

How many days have you been using it?

Im embarrassed to say a little over a week collectively... but see I know when something's working because even within a week I see inklings of microscopic spots that have lightened on my skin, you know what I mean? Like take the Bio Claire, within a week I saw even the slightest of results, even if I had to squint to see it. So its like I know I should be patient but at the same time I know my skin and maybe this isn't potent enough for what Im trying to do... and it would suck to wait a month down the line and see zero results. I don't know... is it just me or has no one updated with their Crystalline progress lately? Is anyone still using?

It's a New Day, I know you want to see results now as I can also be impatient at times. But one week is very little to do it justice. It takes 28 days to have a skin cell turnover and really see results. I don't know how this will work on lightening for you, only time will tell. But to truly know it's best to give it 4 weeks. And also continue to exfoliate and use high spf sunblock. That's the best way to know if it works for you or not.

Bio Clair is a different story and that was an artificial lightening with the use of large doses of steroids. Steroids can lighten very quickly also because it thins the skin, making it practically transparent. So I wouldn't consider them a true skin lightener and x them out. That's my advice anyway.

28 days? Wow. Great. Lol. 3 more weeks to go then I guess. Thanks for the heads up. You're right, comparing Bio Claire to non deadly products is like comparing apples and oranges of course.

I never put it on more than twice a day in most cases if even that. I was putting it on EVERYDAY though. And I had to slow down because I was looking way too light.

Maharani I'll still update until I stop using no problem

Brown Deceit it's a bit difficult to apply this more than once a day for me because it's so darn sticky and I feel like I have a coating of molasses sitting on my skin especially after applying the lotion on top, but I'm still hanging in there and did I mention how jealous I was of your quick results?:)

Oh that sounds nice... well I'm ordering mine tonight or by tomorrow morning, I have my list of what all to get. After I order I'll post it on a thread.

Lol... oh I didn't mean the molasses sticky part, that would be uncomfortable. I meant Brown's comment on how light it was lightening.

Hi guys... im new to this crystalline thing and have no idea about it... can you please tell me that where can I buy it and how safe is it to use ? Is there any side effects of this ? I have an indian skin and using likas right now which has helped me 1-2 tones and using kojic acid for my face which is maintaining my tone... but I am eager to use this as this does sound promising... please help.

I'm sorry it's not working as quickly for you. :(

Omg I agee,

I agree too, good to give it required time to see if it's effective for your skin. And everyone's skin is different, what works for some may not work for others.

Desikudi glad to hear the Likas soap has been working well for you. It is known to be more of a gentle product, you'll have to try it to see how it works for you.

Yea the Likas is good

Hi guys, I'm going to try the Crystaline and the body lotiion with the green writing on the label. I will post my results as well to help others evaluate. Actually, let me 1st introduce myself as you guys are probably looking like "who is this new chick." My old username was "Its A New Day" (with one "s" after "Its"), and I hopped on the bio claire bandwaggon when it was hot. Deleted my account and stopped using bio claire (it worked on my face, thinned the skin on my neck to where scrubbing in the shower was giving me bruises, noticed thinning on my arms and legs but no overall lightening results on my body. Reallly lightened my sister who is about 2-3 shades lighter than me [ I am about a shade darker than kelly rowland]). So I stopped using bio claire and used Tri-Luma (4% HQ with tretinoin), but it was soooo strong that it LITERALLY BLEACHED MY FACE BY PEELING OFF CHUNKS OF PIGMENT WITHIN DAYS. So I said to hell with lightening I just want to look normal because my face was so many different colors. Ok over the summer got my pigment back, got a prescription for real Retin-A Micro (for acne) and will not be lightening my face anytime soon, but I am really trying to lighten my body because my arms go SO DARK after the summer. Ok I know that was a mouthful but it is good to establish some rapport before just jumping in here, so that is my story. I used the crystalline and lotion for like 3 days, then switched to using Othine right now (for a week now, which is 3% HQ), no results so far. I guess Ill go back to the Crystalline since you guys are seeing results, but I hate hopping from lightening products so I hope this works. As I said I'll post results within the week or month.

Where did you get the TRILUMA? Do they sell it in the beauty supply stores?

Oh that sounds nice...well I'm ordering mine tonight or by tomorrow morning, I have my list of what all to get. After I order I'll post it on a thread.

I ordered on Friday and I hate when I have to wait the whole weekened to get something in the mail... today I'm looking for that little post slip in my box LOL... :D I'm just a bit worried about the whole sticky skin thing LOL... and I can imagine it will bbuild up if I'm using my own homemade arbutin cream too...

Does anyone know if this is OK to use 55+ on the face?. my own cream breaks me out like "scary face" bad.. and I normally don't even have acne... or any other suggestions? (not too expensive suggestions most appreciated)...

I wouldn't use it on the face it gave me oily breeakouts!

Where did you get the TRILUMA? Do they sell it in the beauty supply stores?



Triluma is a prescription topical cream, but broken down it is simply 4% hQ, 0.05% tretinoin, and 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide. You can purchase the hq and tretinoin online, and no it cannot be found in any BSS

Ugh. Today I dared to go to my first class in short sleeves. I was so paranoid that everyone could see my secret. Because I started bleaching my arms later than my face chest and neck. So my face chest and neck are very light. But my arms are still kind of dark because I haven't really been focusing on them. It'll probably take a month or two for them to catch up to my upper body. Omg. I was sooooo paranoid that everyone could see my little secret. I felt like I sprinted home from class but I still felt like I was walking. My goodness.

I've been looking @ people at lot lately and many have arms that are a bit darker(& for guys forearms that are waaaay darker.) I guess it's from hats or only applying sunblock to the face and neck?

It seems like models(maybe it's photoshop?), actresses/celebs and socials are usually even-toned from face to arms. However with regular folks, I'm noticing a bit of everything.:p

OT: I bought some 55H+ Cristalline glycerine today.. It is sticky but I've got on an old cotton dress on that I can throw in the washer. I applied to my arms. I'll report my results if any.

This is my 3rd day using the crystaline and it is bit sticky, mostly because of the castor oil ingredient, but it's tolerable. As long as it is able to lighten, then I wouldn't mind.

Haha I couldn't stand the stickiness
It made my skin feel really oily

Ok... 3 weeks using the cristalline now... and no lightening whatsoever on my back.:mad: I'm now trying it with cling film/saran wrap as suggested by Maharani... but I'm not expecting a miracle anytime soon... lol... :rolleyes:

I have been lazy with mine

I gave up on it. I have 2 big bottles of it in my room and bottles are still full am I going to do with it? Well my bio claire came today and it looks so different. It's a new girl on the label and the bottles are a bit smaller. Shipping was hella fast though

Hmm... I'm curious as to if the ingredients have been tweaked hence the new labeling? The ones I saw at the local african shop were produced April of this year and expire in 2011 I believe, so I'm curious how yours is going to work this time around. Please be sure to update.

Interesting

Ok...3 weeks using the cristalline now...and no lightening whatsoever on my back.:mad: I'm now trying it with cling film/saran wrap as suggested by Maharani...but I'm not expecting a miracle anytime soon...lol...:rolleyes:

For the back I'm guessing it takes much longer compared to the face since the skin is thicker there? I never tried lightening the back. Are you using an exfoliator as well for the back?

I may try and wrap up my arms with the hq when it arrives. To see if it'll speed up the lightening. Can you wrap up the hands and fingers as well at night?

GG, I use a papaya soap and a dermacloth to exfoliate before applying the cristalline... but I don't think it's going to work for me... I need something a lot stronger... on the bottle it says to use on the face and neck; so I'm guessing it won't be effective on the body...

I guess it's OK to use the wrap on your hand and fingers at night... I can't see why not...

I may try and wrap up my arms with the hq when it arrives. To see if it'll speed up the lightening. can you wrap up the hands and fingers as well at night?

It shouldn't be a problem and you can even put on those moisturising gloves that are used at night to condition your hands. I just always get irritated when I have something on my hands when I sleep, so always end up with the gloves or wrap off, shortly after I go to bed.

I see, well let us know what you choose next for the back. I want to eventually lighten that area along with my feet.

I may try sooner or later wrapping it on my hands and fingers. I'll wait until I start seeing my face really lightening and then give it a try.

I ordered the 55H+ at http://ebfhair.net/ebfhairdotnet/catalog/catalog/index.php?cPath=46_52 (55H+)
and it starts light my skin pretty good.


I love how sellers prey on the popular items on the threads and start promoting their website without making any other valid contributions to the board...

sorry it is 55H+ (http://ebfhair.net/ebfhairdotnet/catalog/catalog/index.php?cPath=46_52)


Omg Lisa stop. We get it. We ALL need to buy 55H products from YOUR website. Thanks.

Lol... and her site charges a thousand times more than actual costs..

OK so I know it's too early to tell but I'm not super impressed with the 55h+... lol... of course my complaints are the same as everyone else's about the stickyness, of the cristaline... but I guess at less than $20 I can't cry too hard... but the lotion I can't even try... the perfumy smell is so strong it makes me gag... lol.. and it's that heavy magnolia smell like granny perfume... even the cristaline smells strongly but at least I can bear that... I feel sorry for the guys trying this product lol... guess they smell "pretty" lol...

I actually feel darker after I use it... but I think it's just because it's oily and light reflects differently on oily skin...
