Ok, I've ordered bio claire , the cream (in a tub) and the oil (apperently the oil is the best and fastest working of all the bio claire) and I'm going to use it on my face and I'm not going to mix them together but use the oil and cream separately once a day. I want other people to share their experience with bio claire and how it worked for them as well. I have seen the other thread on this website which has a lot of bio claire users and they shared their experience but now I want to start a new thread and have new users or more recent users sharing their experience. Im expecting my oil and cream tomorrow or the next day and will keep you posted every few days! Please do the same if your using it or have used it! Thanks!

Hmmm, well the thing is I've tried so many products over the years that I am now medium brown (I used to be dark brown). No single product has lightened me that significantly but it rather has been a combination of the loads of products I've used over the last 3 yrs. And the fact that I stay out of the sun for the last 3 yrs as well. And its weird, because on days I can look dark brown again but most days or weeks I'm medium to dark brown. Somewhere in the middle. Well, I'm expecting my bio claire 2mrw and hoping it will work because some people on here have seen spectacular results in such short spaces of time! I am becoming increasingly aware that loads of people are saying that it only last for 2 months. Is that why your saying that your going to use it as a quick fix for the summer? Is that what you mean by knick knack?

Yeah I did, had some interesting views from people. It obviously didn't agree with some people who were getting red, itchy skin and rashes. Some people were a fan of mixing the products and others wernt. Some saw amazing results quickly and some it took a while they say. So I guess, its just something each person has to try, I'm deffo going to do a 24hr patch test though to see if I get a bad reaction. The reason I don't want to mix the products is because it will just be messing with the formula. More or 'extra power' by mixing stuff dusnt necessarily mean it will work better. Certain ingredients will only work at certain percentages. And what needs to be understood is that mixing doesn't always increase the power anyway. This is becos every cream or beaty product is made up of 2 things - active ingredients and base ingredients.
Active ingredients - the stuff that changes your skin (so in terms of lightening - arbutin, kojic, licorice - etc)
Base ingredients - the acids and polywax and preservatives which are all needed for the active ingredients to dissolve into. Kojic, arbutin, licorice etc are all powders and need to be mixed with these base ingredients in order for it to become a cream or gel or oil. These have no affect on the skin but just used for the active powders to dissolve, to stop dicsolouration and to make the prodct's 'use by date' longer.
So... mixing two products mean that you will add not only more Active ingredients (which is good) but also you are adding more of the base ingredients (which cancel out the fact that you have added more active ingredients!)
But everyone skin is different, some people in that other thread you started mentioned that mixing works and others found it a waste of time and others had bad break outs. But in my knowledge and opinion, mixing is never the way to go.

I have been using bio clair since februari and my stomach, arms, face and neck are now caramel brown ( I was dark brown) but my back and my legs are medium brown. Bio claire is working for me, but I don't like the fact that my knuckles, knees en elbows are still dark brown. I am considering to start using Gluthatione supplements. Any suggestions?
try2light
May 12, 2008, 10:38 AM
Hiya, I wudnt suggest gluthathione suppliments simply because you have to take them in large dosages and also would have to take large dosages of vitamin C in order for the Glutathione to work its best. Gluthathione, in terms of lightening, is more of a long term thing as well. And furthermore, itl cause lightening all over and that means that your knuckles, knees and elbows may lighten slightly but the rest of you will also lighten and so they will still stand out. I personally wouldn't reccoment glutathione pills over a decent skin lightening cream - creams (providing you find the right one) can work quicker (weeks rather than months like glutathione) and also will be better at lgihtening (whereas glutathione is primarily something used in medicine to de-toxify the liver and the 'side effect' is whitening - but that'l of course take some tine). What other brands of creams are you looking at? Or would like to try?

I used Bio Claire. The lotion then switched to the tub. It worked great for me but sadly it broke me out so I stopped! I think it's the mineral oil that did it. Hope they come out with an oil free version. :)

I'm thinking of trying bio claire since so many people in threads which I read since I joined have positve reviews on:) I have a question though I want to use there soap + lotion but do I use the Non Hydroquinone soap or the one with Hydroquinone ? Would it be too strong since the lotion has kojic, licorice and stuff ?

May 12, 2008, 03:06 PM
The thing with hydroquinone is that it shoudnt be used for whole face lightening (apart from the scare that it will cause health problems). The reason is that hydroquinone tends to lighten in patches even if you apply it all over your face.
try2light
May 12, 2008, 03:09 PM
And I agree, I thought all the bio claire products had no hydroquinone in it? Where are you looking? What website?

May 12, 2008, 03:57 PM
Ooh nvm lol I thought one of them had hydroquinone because when I was reading the box in a store in canada(where I live) I noticed that one said " Lightening Care Soap Without hydroquinone" and the other one just said "Lightening Care Soap" it didn't say without hydroquinone like the other box so I assumed also on that website Guesso it has the bio claire lotion serum soap 2 of each item displaying and they say Non hydroquinone and the others just say bio claire lotion usually some sellers do that if hydroquinone is illegal in your country.. but I could be wrong ill post the link & if you use hydroquinone at a low percentage like 2% it won't do anything bad (at least it hasn't for me)i used a good hydroquinone soap + face cream and it REALLY lightend my face about 3 shades overall defenetly not in patches maybe if you use a higher unsafe percent then that would happen , but I want to try something different

I have ordered my bio claire from this site: Alle Afro haar- en cosmetica nu bij Divine Beauty Webstore (http://www.divine-beauty.com). They also ship internationally. All of their products are non-HQ. I have also ordered a cream for knees and elbow lightening.
I have done a lot of research on the net and bio claire seems to do a good job and if you take also some lightening pills you'll speed up the process (I heard).
Does anyone know any other products that work on dark feet, knees and elbows.

May 13, 2008, 06:31 AM
I've only ever tried to lighten my face so I'm not too sure about the rest of the body to be honest, I suppose its an advantage that the rest of your body is covered up when you go out this summer so its good that the lightening cream can work its best for you without worrying about the sun.
Ok, I've just received my bio claire oil and cream, the oil's ingredients are:
I.P.M
Huile de vaseline
Vaseline blanche
Alcohol cetostearylique
B.H.T
Acide stearique
Alcohol cetylique
Vitamin E
M.P.G
Glycerine
Actifs Bio Vegetaux 2%
Colorants
Fragerance
These ingredients are kind of strange. It seems like their Actifs bio vegetaux is responsible for the lightening but the other ingredients seem a mystery??
The ingredients for the cream (in a tub):
Water
Mineral oil
Petrolatum
Lanolin
Stearic acid
Cetyl-strearylic alcohol
Isopropyl myristate
Tocopheryl Acetate
BHT
Methylparaben
Propylparaben
Sodium lauryl sulfate
Soduim metabisulfate
Sodium sulfite
Citric acid
Propylene Glycol
Arctostaphylos
Uva Ursi Extract (bearberry)
Mulberry
Licorice
Citrus medica limonum (lemon extract)
Kojic acid
Fragrance
Ok, so these ingredients obviously make more sense with lighteners such as kojic, lemon, mulberry, licorice, bearberry.
There are no instructions on the bio claire OIL as to how many times a day to apply.
On the tub of cream the instructions:
Wash your skin, dry it and mass bio claire softly. Do not rinse. The 1st week - repeat application 3 times a day, then twice a day. Avoid long exposure to sumlight.
Okey doke, I'm going to do a patch test for 24hrs because some people have broken out and had rashes and bad reactions so I'm going to be safe rather than sorry. Il check this board every day but I'm not going to speak of how its working everyday because I think too many people come on here and complain of skin lighteners not working and theyv only been using it for 3days! Il talk of how its working every 5 days or so and il keep you informed of any changes in my skin as soon as I notice anything (i.e if after the 2nd day I see lightening then I will tell you guys - but if I don't see anything then il just stay silent until the 5th day). Im happy to give you guys any info about packaging or the amount of product etc so feel free to ask if you have any question! And please more people join and share your expericnes! :)

I actually don't know either whether the oil is responsible for the lightening, but it says that it is a activator. I usually mix the lotion with the oil, this way it is easier to apply.
But I heard that you shouldn't mix a lot of oil with the lotion, this way the active ingredients of the lotion will loose their power.
The first thing that probably will become fairer is your face, neck/chest, inner side of you arms
try2light
May 13, 2008, 07:53 AM
Maybe that's why there isn't actually instructions on the oil but there is on the cream. Maybe it has to be mixed with the cream or any other skin lightening cream that you use. There is one eBay sller which says that you should add the oil to any skin lightener. That's kind of strange though. I mean, can I use the oil on its own then?
semmi
May 13, 2008, 08:09 AM
I don't know. I always use the lotion or the lotion with the oil. One advice: if you start using bio clair (the lotion mixed with the oil) you skin will become really dry, that's you should also use a good moisturizer (on my face I use vichy and on my body nivea). Then your skin will get a healthy glow. And it is possible that on the back side of your hands/arms or legs will be at first a bit patchy. Within couple of weeks you will get a even tone.

OK cool, I'm going to start using the cream in a tub this Monday - I'm going to a wedding this weekend so I don't want to start using the bio claire before that becos I mite get uneven skin tone that everyone keeps saying happens at the start of using it. I may use the cream how it is instructed as well - 3 times a day for the 1st week and twice a day for the 2nd week and then once a day. It's a commitment but I'm going to try and do it. Im going to use the oil as well just once a day at night. Starting Monday. Il keep you all posted!

Hello everyone
I haven't started bio claire yet I just place my order! And I can't wait but I want to know can you use it on your armpits too? Is it really for all over the body?(or exceptions)
try2light
May 20, 2008, 10:27 AM
hi! Yeah its for all over the body. Ok people, I started using it y'day. Im going to try and use it as instructed. So day 1 (y'day) I put it on my face 3 times a day (the cream in a tub). Today is day 2 and I've only managed to put it on twice (because I went out earlier so missed an application). The directions is to put it on 3x a day for the 1st week and then 2x a day for the 2nd week and then just once a day (or twice if u want still). I haven't got a job at the moment so I am able to use it this way. It does thin the skin so be warned - its not a problem or anything, it doesn't make your skin delicate or anything but does make it feel rubbery. Im using the oil as well. I put the oil on first on my face and then I put the cream on top (but I don't actually mix the 2 2getha or anything - I just layer them). So the oil is going on 3 x a day as well. My skin looks cleaner already and more even and when I 1st wash it off my face looks all luminous but to be honest all skin lighteners make your skin glow especially when you wash the cream off in the sink. The question is whether it can make you actually lighter in shade. Il keep u all up2 date with changes I notice!

I have been using bio claire cream for about 2 weeks. I have seen a slight lightnening on my body. Mostly on my forearms and chest. I want to lighten the back of my arms, legs, buttocks, back, knees & elbows. I'm not using it on my face yet. I want my body to lighten up more since it takes the longest then I'll follow up with my face.
I figure I will use it through the summer and then take a 3 week break and start again. I'm new to the board but I have been a lurker for a few weeks. I'll keep you posted.
Can anyone recommend a good exfoliating soap?

Hi guys, OK - today is day 4 of using the bio claire oil and cream (in a tub)
Day 1 - I put it on 3 times a day (oil 1st and then cream on top)
Day 2 - I put both on twice
Day 3 - I put both on 3 times
Day 4 (today) - going to put it on 3 times
Im going to stop using the bio claire oil because I have some red post acne marks on my cheeks and I think the oil is making it worse (becos oil is never good for reddish skin/marks). So from 2mrw it will only be the cream (in a tub) and I'm only going to use it twice from now on. It says on the directions to use the cream 3x a day for the 1st week and then 2x a day for the 2nd week and then once or twice a day from then on. Its only been 4 days but from the 5th day I'm going to use it only twice a day - I think this is enough. My skin is a lot thinner and when I smile the skin on the cheeks creases up and that's not very nice looking but I'm going to cut it down to 2x a day like I say so it should be OK (especially as I can use a moisturiser now that I'm cutting dwn on the bio claire cream). N terms of dryness - its been very good. A lot of people on past threads have had problems with dry skin, I have had no problem whatsoever really. As for the important bit - is my skin lightening? - the answer is yes. My skin looks amazingly clearer and just clean. It cleans up my entire face in terms of no darker areas and uneveness. It makes your face all one colour (remember that I'm only using this on my face). The skin looks more fresh and pure. I am deffo getting a lighter skin tone, the main thing is also that I'm lightening all over my face and not just in patches. The best thing about skin lighteners is that your complexion can become all even and if there is dramatic lightening of skin tone and skin shade then that's really a bonus. Ppl ask 'how many shades have u lightened' when they post on here a lot but I think its silly when people ask that cos what my opinion of '1 shade' could be completely different to what u guys are thinking. All I can say is that I have definitely lightened up a NOTICEABLE amount and my skin is starting to look flawless and its only been 4 days. The main criticism about bio claire that I've found is that it is excellent for the first 2 months and then it apperently just stops working. Either way, it works at least at the start and that's more than what can be said for most skin lighteners ( and I've tried my fair share!). So far so good with this product! Amazing in fact!

I found the same thing with Bio Claire that it made my skin clear that I stopped wearing foundation. But all of a sudden I just broke out a while after. Weird. But then it is summer now so my skin is producing more oil and doesn't need mineral oil.

Well, I have been using Bio Claire a little over 2 weeks, and the other day I did noticed that the back of my arms seemed to be getting a little darker. I was worried because I did read somewhere on this board that BC could cause your skin to get dark.
I called a friend and she told to use a sea salt body scrub to exfoliate the top layer. So I did, and scrubbed like a mad woman, and the darkness went away quit a bit. And she also says, even if it's raining outside, she doesn't leave her house without Sunblock. So I am going to use the sea salt scrub when I shower and then apply the Bio Claire. And by the way, the sea salt makes my skin sooo soft, even with the bio claire it's incredibly soft.

I was lightening the first 2 weeks then I seemed to have stopped. I was just using the bio claire cream though and not on my face. I ordered the bio claire oil and soap. I got it really fast. I ordered it from beautyofnewyork.com. They shipped it the next day and I got my order in 3 days. And it was reasonably priced including the shipping. Ebay is a complete rip off.
I stopped using the sea salt because of the oil in it, and I think that might have slowed my progress, so I bought Fair & White exfoliating soap. I'm not sure if F & W soap will lighten, but it is a good exfoliater. So I will start using the oil and the cream on my body, and I started last night using the cream on my face. I am afraid to use the cream and the oil on my face, since I have read that it might be too strong.

Update
I use only the because lotion and the because soap and dove pink rosa.
You guys I got this on the 28th and since then I have used it 6 times. The first day I took a shower with Dove-Pink Rosa and then followed by the because soap then the lotion. 8 hours later I put just the lotion (no shower) The next morning I showered and the same as above. Then ever 8 hours applied. After the first day I noticed a slight lightening (1/2 shade) and a glow. I thought I was crazy so I asked the husband and he noticed the change. This morning before I took a shower I had to be 1 shade lighter with a nice glow and healthy looking skin. I do not use any other lotions with this (maybe it changes the affect) On my hands I put a little cream and feet (not much) I have no idea how it lightened so fast but its defintely working. Oh if you mixed this because with other because products and had no results after 2 months It could be due to an increase in the chemicals that made your body immune to it and there for you have stopped getting results just a guess. I did not think it would happen this fast so I add no idea what would be posting this soon. Let me try another 2 days and see what happens. Oh I took before pictures too.

Hi people! Ok, it has been almost 2 weeks now since I have been using the bio claire cream and ITS AMAZING! This is a fanstic product! I can't believe how efficient it is! The difference I saw in just 5 days would normally take about 3 weeks to achieve and the difference I see now is astounding! I have definitely lightened up and more importantly my skin is really even and clear! When I'm in a dark place (like a club or restaurant) and someone takes a camera picture I always used to hate it when they would put the flash on because my un-even skin tone would show up and I would look horrific! Like a monster! But now it's a different story, when the flash goes off I look incredibly fresh and even! Dare I say celebrity skin! This is definitely the product which evens out your skin tone and gets rid of dark areas and makes your skin look fresh, clean and amazingly clear. Im SO happy with it! I hope it works this well forever (or better still work even better!). Other continue posting please! Lets spread awareness about this product! It could rid the anxiety of so many people!

I am torn between saying that bio claire is making me lighter versus making me even. I feel like my skin is evening out to the natural complexion I was born with if as if I had never had any sun exposure if that makes sense.
Does anyone know if the veiny look will go away? I am really veiny around my neck, chest and the inside of my arms.
It's freaking my boyfriend out! He has been watching me for the past few weeks follow this new beauty routine, running from the sun, using sunblock, and now my skin is getting lighter and veiny (he doesn't know I am lightening). He says if I start to grow fangs and stop going out during the day he is leaving me!

I think what is happening is the product makes you appear lighter but what it actually does is clear and even out the skin by sheding layers of your epidermis and I think that when you notice the changes if you keep using it over a long period I think the epidermis is become thin like the epidemis on the eyelid so veins can become visible. I think that's why in previous posts people said some places where tender when touch because the epidermis is to thin. Epidermis is thinner the inside of are were vein is the back of legs, eyelids, etc.. You can just look an tell on your body what's then prior to using the product. I think the veiny look will go away when the epidermis grows back. Most people normal shed some epidermis on the face every two weeks (light peeling) Maybe you should continue on the sunblock and stop the product. When your epidermis thickens again continue to use it or maybe use the product once a day or every other day to you see changes. I am no dr. so this are just suggestions.

Ok guys, I'm still using bio claire (in a tub cream) and its still working. I was using it twice a day but now I can only use it once a day (at night) because I go out during the day everyday now and I don't like putting anything on my face when I go out (apart from sun screen of course). All I can say is that the more you use this product the better it is. A lot of people say that G&G products are good as well. Apperently they are made by the same company as bio claire and the tub it comes in looks similar and the prices are just as cheap like bio claire as well. Im not thinking of stopping the bio claire but I think I want to use the G&G cream along with it. If anyone has used it then please feel free to post results on this cream as well. As far as I'm concerned - if its by the same company as bio claire then it must be just as good? Right? :)

Hello, I'm thinking of using Bio Claire, is it okay to use under the eyes? The skin there is already quite thin and using bio claire could make it worse.

I stopped using Bio Claire for the eye area. It seemed to irritate the area so I just switched to a normal eye cream.

Hey Guys...
My name is Dequom and I just started on this site today... like all you guys I'm into skin lightening but the trouble is finding a product that works... Hydroquinone works well on my face but not really on the body... I have a friend here in Barbados that is so fair it's amazing ( she was really darked skin)... her entire body is "pink" for lack of a better word... even her ears... she's been using the Bioclair cream and oil and she swears by it...
Recently I bought a bottle of the cream and I mixed it with some of the oil I also threw in a 10% bottle of hydrquinone for good measure... well I know it's working because I decided to use it only on my feet and I can see the difference... but not as I would like... the feet it self is lightening but my toes have remained the same color...
What do you guys suggest... should I just start over a new month using ONLY the bioclaire products?. would you suggest using on the face as well... how often should I use it and how long do you anticipate it would be before seeing results...
Thanks guys

Thanx guys
Has your friend also mixed HQ with the bio claire, or has she lightened so much with only bio claire?
Is the bio claire your friend is using HQ free? It should say in the ingredients. If it says "Hydroquinone Free" or "Sans Hydroquinone" on the tub then it means there is no HQ in it. Please let us know.
You might just have a problem with the product penetrating the skin on your toes. It might be worth looking into some kind of acid peel for these stubborn areas, but PLEASE ASK A DERMATOLOGIST, don't rely on my advice.
Also, try to work out what percentage of your mixed product is HQ, as long term high concentration usage of HQ could possibly lead to problems. In the US, prescription HQ is 4% and OTC is usually 2%.

Hey Consumer...
There are no Bioclaire products that contain HQ... they work on Bio vegeta I think that's the word
She started using HQ on her face years ago and only her face was lightening... but that was a while ago... now she is only using Bioclaire and her ENTIRE skin is pink and the same color... I do the same thing but not on my face just the feet and I'm definitely seeing lightening... I also use a pair of scrubbing bathing gloves on my feet just to open the skin cells I find that works sooooo well...
Right now my face is light using HQ but I want to hold off on that and just try the Bioclaire ONLY... even in Barbados Bioclair is really big... I want to use it on my face but I'm afraid that the lightening would go away and then I would have to start fresh trying to lighten with the Bioclair...
Do you thing I should try it?

Hi
Thanks for replying.
I really cannot advise you to use it or not. I am thinking to try it, but I just want my sun damaged face and hands to be the same color as my body, and I am naturally fair skinned asian.
If your friend has had such dramatic results with using only bio claire, then it sounds like it works very well, but I do not have direct experience.
Do you know if your friend is using the oil or the tub?
Sorry I can't help more :(

Bio Claire is OK to use on the face. I used the crème but it broke me out (Culprit must be mineral oil) so I've now switched to the lotion. No mixing or anything. And it's working. I've been using Bio Claire on and off since January and it still works.

So Chic... you don't think I need to mix with any HQ... how long did it take before you started see results and how much lighter did you become... did you use as directed (three times a day for the first week) at first and did you just use periodically
labella
Jun 20, 2008, 02:02 PM
Well, I have been using because for 6 weeks, and my body is one shade lighter and my face is about 3 shades lighter. The verdict came from my son. I haven't seen him for 3 weeks. He's been spending the summer with his father and as soon as he saw me, he said Mommy you look lighter!
So I am going to only use the because to maintain on my face every other day and continue to use it twice a day on my body.
Bio Claire works!!

IS bio claire almost the same as hypprogel who has the same ingredients.. Labella what was you before color like and your after color?(using celebrities)
labella
Jun 20, 2008, 06:16 PM
I'm not sure about Hyprogel. People tell me at lot I look like Stacy Dash, just a little darker and my eyes are brown. So I would say I was the complexionn of Kerri Washington maybe and now I am closer to Stacy's complexion if not a little lighter.
I went from a medium brown to a golden brown on my body, and a lighter golden brown on my face. I don't want to get any lighter in my face.
I started on my body two weeks before my face. And my body is definitely is taking longer. I have been lightening my face for 3 weeks and I have ligten 3 shades and my body only 1 shade in 6 weeks.
I've been mixing the lotion, cream, and oil together. But I have only been using the lotion on my face the past week. And I always exfoliate in the shower. But now my skin is starting to dry out and get itchy on my body. For about a week my body looked like it was getting darker then one morning I woke up and I was a shade lighter. Really weird.
Dequom
Jun 23, 2008, 08:11 AM
Yeah I know what you mean about looking darker and they lighter overnite... the same has happened to me...
I think I read somewhere that the body usually takes the longest to lighten... I try using the BC cream and oil on my face only and see what happens...
I think I'll start a new month fresh in July to really measure the results

I personally use the lotion on my face. Your're right the cream is a little heavy, but using the cream and the oil seemed a little much. Maybe the oil and the lotion? The lotion is a lot lighter. When I put the cream and oil on my face once, it made me sweat. So I didn't do it anymore.

I am new to this site, but yesterday was my first day using the cream and I was thinking it was making me kind of oily too. Thank God I have never had a problem with acne BUT I don't want to start getting bumps. I put on the oil first, than the cream but I stay in the AC to make sure it all dries up then put on sunscreen. I also keep cotton balls to dap my face when I go outside just in case I start sweating.
Does anybody have suggestions on how much to put on the body? I have the jar and the oil, I rub on just a little bit of both. It kind of has a medicine type of smell and I don't want to smell like that.

I've been using the lotion for almost 2 weeks now, & I've seen a big chance.. like 1-2shades lighter. It may take a little longer on my face cause I had a some dark spots, but there clearing up nicely.. no break-out or anything, just clearier skin... what I want to know if I'm using it correctly.. wash before put on every time? Well if I'm not, then bio claire lotion is still working well for me. Its great.. n its only been llittle east then 2weeks.

I found that HQ will eventually darken you with time. It may began by giving results, but then will ultimately make you even darker at the end.

Stawxxx, I never put the oil on my face, I think its too strong. I did get red patches on my body and they were itchy and it went away in about a week. That's because I was using the cream and the oil. Your body is harder to lighten so I guess you need something stronger, but I only used the lotion on my face and it worked just fine. No red spot or itching. But yes it's a normal process but it doesn't have to be for your face.

BioClaire is the TRUTH! Everyone is noticing how good my skin looks now. People are asking me "what's your secret"? Lol.
My forehead used to have these two dark patches like right above my eyebrows (I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about... like the place where you frown, on both sides... patches from the sun hitting your forehead)... and now they are COMPLETELY gone and my forehead looks SO smooth and yellow (like the rest of my face).
I'm usually a medium brown but now I'm looking more and more yellow every day. I've been using Bio on my face and body for almost three weeks now. My body will take a while to catch up but I definitely see a difference on my body too.
I'm happy because I have a wedding to attend to this Saturday so I'll know I look great! :D

I am SO HAPPY! I haven't lightened a lot but it's notice able :) its only been 6 days and I'm so EXCITED OMFG!! I can't wait to see what it looks like on the 19th =] that'll be two weeks from when I started I'm naturally " High yellow " Or " Yellow bone " but from years of unprotected sun exposure I've turnt a dark caramel color... it looks horrible on me,But my face is almost the same color as my chest now! I'm judging my progress by the color of my current skin and the skin on my chest which has never been exposed to the sun so I've kept my natural color there.. I've been using the lotion on my face and I'm like a shade or maybe 2 darker than my chest now! I was maybe 3 =\ and its only been 6 days I got it on the 5th and started using it that day so I'm counting that day too :)!! My body hasn't lightened much but I've noticed my body is lightening in this order from fastest to slowest Lower legs, Thighs,Stomach,Chest,Upper arms,Lower arms, Back, and my bootay is lightening the slowest..
When I was using the lotion on my face my ENTIRE cheek area got really sore and red and I was disgusted and didn't want to go out in public LOL.. But I guess I did the right thing in continuing to apply the lotion on there despite the rash and it cleared in 2 days and it revealed A BEAUTIFUL high yellow complexion that almost matches my chest and I'm completely in love with it!
I'm guessing since I'm naturally "High Yellow" I won't have to maintain the complexion since it's natural and I was only using the bio claire to remove the suntan .But what do you think.. do you think I will have to maintain it and the suntan will come back if I stop but continue to use but continue to use sun block I'm using "No Ad spf 60 sun block " lol I bought the supersize family bottle for only myself :D?!

Well, if that's the case nobody really knows what's in any of these products, unless you work in the lab. But I would think there would be some type of serious consequences to mislabeling a product with steroids in it. I'm in the States and we do have the FDA. So I would trust if the labeling passes through the FDA for this long it is what it is.

My body is lightening slower than my face :mad: I guess I should use the oil on my body and lotion on my face because I'm using the cream on my body and disappointed.

I didn't get red patches on my face, but I did get them on my body. Does it hurt or itch? I think its just part of the process, but your body will lighten a lot slower than your face. I would stop using it on my face until the patches clear up and continue on my body.

I got red patches on my face and body but they went away and blended in. Bioclaire has really been working for me and I'm so happy about that.
Stay away from the cream... I hardly see anyone who reports good results with the cream, at all. It'd be best to stick with the lotion and the oil. I think there's some kind of serum too? I'm not sure. But yeah, stay away from the cream lol.
Anyway, don't worry about the red patches, I think most of us get them, it's no big deal.

Well, if that's the case nobody really knows what's in any of these products, unless you work in the lab. But I would think there would be some type of serious consequences to mislabeling a product with steriods in it. I'm in the States and we do have the FDA. So I would trust if the labeling passes through the FDA for this long it is what it is.
Well said on tha

Hi,
I have just bought the bio claire oil to weeks ago. A friend recommended it, since her skin is fair, I asked her. She advised not to use it on the face, but on the body. I have been a bit careless with it, since I have only been using it once a

I started using Bio Claire two months ago I was chocolate brown now I am a caramel brown colour now. The only problem is the web between my fingers are white and if I put it on stretch marks it will turn it white or brown.
