Hi,

I had placed an order for a 5% benzylarbutin cream from herbal inn its been more than 2 weeks since the transaction, no responses to innumerable mails or anything, the status of the package is not being shown at all, has anyone has had bad experiences with orders from their website how long do they take to eventually ship the package?

Thanks

YEs, don't be alarmed. For some reason, herbalinn takes forever to mail/receive the productt. I remember, I ordered the same thing you did. It must have been a month or almost two months before I got it. I was thinking well that was money wasted because I thought I was scammed. JUst wait a little be more and you should get it. IF not, I hope you paid by paypal, so you can get your money back! HTH

Thanks that is comforting, yes I did pay through paypal but their customer service is horrendous, they never respond to any emails.

NO, problem. Yes, I have been told they hardly ever respond to emails so don't be surprised babe. They just take the money and send you the poduct whenever they feel like it. GOOD LUCK and please keep us post on the results... HAPPY SKIN LIGhTENING!

I'm not sure if they used the powder or the ready made lotions, I'll ask them when I see them next. They went from a shahrukh khan complextion to a john abraham one in around 6-8 weeks. RedDiamond are you kissadaski on another forum.

Damn right, their customer service is NON-EXISTENT. They'd be 10 times more successful if only they'd actually respond to e-mails. They just look like s.

Herbal inn has poor customer service but you will get your order. I also ordered 5% 4oz bottle, it took 10 days to get here, and she never returned any of my emails either. Its probably one person who is making and selling a home based product, and is overwhelmed by increased business.

Overwhelmed or not, responding to e-mails is a common courtesy. I've been absolutely swamped with internet orders recently, without the money to dispatch them, and I at least have the manners and consideration to reply and assure people who contact me with concerns about their order. This is the no. 1 reason I won't order from Herbalinn.

When I ordered mine, It took at least 1 month and somedays because I remember thinking ohh well at least it wasn't a lot of money. Then one day I came to the door and there the package was. I had totally forgot about it. I don't know what the delay factor was.

Lol, by the time your next order comes you will have to start from scratch again. Yea, I think I might do mono at 5% and supplement with sure white or something.. That way it's a strong product to began with and the layover won't matter so much. Plus the 4oz bottles are way to small at 60 bucks a pop. Whatever results you get will fade by the time your next order comes around.

Lol, I've stopped using the product. It didn't do much except irritate my skin. Watch branco intervene right now... Whenever anything negative is said about benzylarbutin, that user pops up.

Hmmm, just as Missj28 predicted. Branco comes to the rescue of "Benzylarbutin".

I'm not going to post again on this forum, even though I have stated to you guys that I've never used BA or any other skin lightner. Missj28 is a liar nothing more nothing less. I think she's related to he ugly fat cow Amber who owns the Brightskin forum.

Lol, Branco you sound like a scorned EX lover. Really, its funny how you get so upset about this Benzylarbutin. Any other posts I wrote you didn't bother to comment on. Yet anything I mention about Benzylarbutin, you show up to harass me.

I figure all the forums I've been through don't always make it because members fall out with one another. Please, be nice to one another. We are all sharing our experiences and getting answers that are hard to find. I actually like you AMHD.

I don't know what you guys are fighting for; when everyone's goal here is the same... :confused: NVM...

And BTW, the benzyl does work... I read all sort of crap about it here and didn't order sooner... :rolleyes: I've used it for 16 days and very happy with the results so far... :p

Hey, Gr8Stuff, I remember you said that you were experimenting with Alpha-Arbutin. How effective was it, and where did you acquire it from?

lighterrr
Jul 29, 2008, 05:25 AM
Hey guys

I am glad that you are getting results from the benzyl, but alpha arbutin is said to work and be as effective as mono, arbutin in low dosages can be found in many cosmetics if you are looking for the raw powder do a Google search and stay away from the chinese they are usually scammers.

It took me well over two weeks to get my order from herbalinn. The shipping fee is $10 or $15. Ridiculous.

Please keep us updates on your results from ba. I would love to hear how it goes. What's you current color like?

Yes I did experience with AA 2% for 4 weeks but it didn't have any great results; just a slight evening out. I tried 10% AA but it burns so bad I had to wash it off as soon as I applied it:mad:.. I tried 5% but it still irritated my skin; I broke out after the first use; had to stop using it... After a couple of week just using DS soap; I tried Benzyl Arbutin 5%; and was really surprised. It burns slightly but nothing like the AA. I'll start using BA 10% on my body because my face is too light compared to my body especially my back. I got the AA 2% cream on eBay and the powder from Garden of Wisdom.

RedDiamond, my starting color was medium olive, a bit like Eva Longoria but with uneven skin tone on my face and body. So far, my face has really cleared up and brighten up... my body still need to catch up... this is why I want to use 10% BA on my body and continue with the 5% on my face.

Barry, do let us know your experience with BA... What % are you using?

RedDiamond
Jul 29, 2008, 09:58 AM
Great results, Gr8stuff. I am happy you have found something that is working. Did you buy the powder to make your own or pre made ba? HOw long have you been using it? You skin color must be pretty now. I am reaching for olive so hopefully I can get there without any problems.

Hi RedDiamond,

I've been using BA for only like 16 days; results was quick on my face, don't know if it's the DS soaps which kind of exfoliate the skin. I didn't buy the powder, instead I bought the 20% cream, and then mix it with 4 parts of Neutrogena lotion which kind of make it 5% BA... and I also added some retin a cream to it because I heard it helps with skin turnover. I mixed all together in a large bowl with a cake-mixer for like 2 minutes.

I bought the powder and mixed it myself. I got good results from it. My skin is naturally white and I wanted to even it out in some places. I am happy with my results.

Happy to hear you are pleased, but I can't find any info on wikipedia on benzyl arbutin, however there is a lot of stuff about alpha arbutin

Gr8stuff
Jul 29, 2008, 04:00 PM
Actually, you can get BA powder from Sciencelab as well. AA might be just as good if not better. I was all for AA and did a lot of research on it too but unfortunately my skin is too sensitive and I had to opt for BA instead. And BA seems to be doing the trick, so no regrets atm.

Gr8stuff, I don't see any BA powder on Sciencelab.

Yes, Benzyl Arbutin obviously doesn't exist as a legitimate chemical, but what Herbalinn sells is obviously a skin lightener. Who cares if it has a made-up name, as long as it's safe and effective?

Gr8stuff, I don't see any BA powder on Sciencelab.

Yes they do... you have to search by their chemical name which is "Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside" or you may want to give them a call.

The only downside of sciencelab BA is the price... which is like 5g for $500 or something.. :eek:
