Golden Girl... benzyl does not work at all !
Thts my opinion.. but then again.. you know nothings working for me anyway...
Perhaps you should take a try... But if I were you I would SAVE my money and RUN FOR THE HIGHWAY even before they net you and net you bad b ecause you will end up spending hundreds and get nothing out of it !
I used Benzylarbutin for ONe and a HALF years... and when I showed dissappointment ( WELL I WAS ACTUALLY LIVID and LASHED OUT AT ANYONE WHO ENDORSED IT ON THAT FORUM... because none were willing to show their after pics.. ) then they CHUCKED ME OFF!!

People who endorsed it there accused me of lying that I had used it for a year and a half... Oh I wanted to kill all of them!!
I even went all the way trying to mix benzyl with mono.. and BULL happened to my skin ( by that I mean nothing , no patching, whitening , rbightening )
Benzyl is however very good to BURN your skin nicely... it will make your skin go RED not the pink you want it to be when you apply it... and then why ou will believe that it will work and get you lighter..
And then after 1 and half whole years of continuous REDDENING.. which then dries up as burn marks on your face... I still was a freaked up colour.. I,e my original colour
My recommendation ? I RECOMMEND EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD... YOU COULD TRY THE SHADY LOOKING BIO CLAIRE ALSO but please don't waste your time on benzylbutin !
Coz tahts what it really is!!

Wow... lol. I hear more bad things about benzyl arbutin and nothing good. So, I guess I'll skip that one. No need for me wasting more money. I'm using bio clair on my face again because it did lighten me last year about 3 shades until I stopped. I'm thinking of continuing it on my arms but it didn't do well there at all because they burned my arms bright red too and then my skin had turned dark dark.

Originally I'm Toni Braxton's complexion and the unexposed areas is about 2 shades lighter than her. Bio Claire works for my face but not for my body. The lightest I've been was about Tyra Bank's complexion with the makari night cream, but it cost troo much to keep up. So right now, my face is about 2 shades lighter than normal (Toni B's color) and the rest of my body went back dark. Any ideas?

I did not exactly mean you since the other one said that nothing worked for her. Tyra is rather light. So you are african?

So are you a girl or a guy eremesu...
If you're a guy then at least its fine.. but if you're a girl who is medium dark and your twin sister is very light... I can imagine how much crap you mustve had to listen to since childhood over it!!
Because light indians don't spare the darker family members !

Is that how it works in india? I've never been there. Several generations of separation from that country. And on my other heritage side I am part amish. I am a 22yo male. I am not trying to get to her color. I just want to be more washed out and pallour

Hey, what are the most popular skin lihgtening treatments that work in India. I read that many of the famous women get lightening treatments. What do you think they use?

I hope you aren't asking me since I've never been to india. But I think they will use anything, they are a really gullible country. It is old new age without as much effort on inventing psuedoscientific jargon(as in america)
