Hey. So I'm using this natural skin lightener. My mother is the queen of skin lightening. Lol. If you saw her before and after pics you'd be amazed. So I always rummage through her stuff. Annnnnnd. I found this glycerine based product. It's from Paris and kind of expensive. It says it's natural. So I gave it a shot. And I kid you not. I lighten half a shade as each day goes by. And it's making my scars go away and it's hydrating my skin and making it look so youthful (Even though I'm young, 20 to be exact... But it's still making my skin look really fresh and young)... So I wanted to list the ingredients here to see if any of you guys spot a red flag... So on the front of the bottle it says {55 H+} CHRISTALINE (I think this is the brand name. But I could be wrong? Half of the bottle is in enlgish. Half in french. So I'm so confused. Lol) Glycerine fine Strong-Lightening (Recommended in health stores and dermatologist practices)

On the back it says:

"Fine composition of glycerine, enriched with extra quality vegetable products, preserving all main properties and vitamins. Manufactured using the best lightenigh plants. It's soft and deep action feeds and moisturizes the epidermis, keeping it soft, mild and smooth. It is recommended for all types of skins, preventing them from dryness, aging, and wrinkles."

Directions for use: Apply carefully this lotion on face and neck surface< using a cotton wool> Do not rinse> Let them dry completely before applying other treatments (creams or make-ups).

WARNING: For External use only. In case of contact with eyes rinse them with plenty of cold water.

Ingredients: Glycerine, Propiene Glycol, Arctostaphyious Uva-Ursi (Bearberry extract), PEG-40 Hydrogenated caster oil, Trideceth-9, Parfum (fragrance), Morus bombycis (Mulberry root extract), Daucus Carota, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Medtabisulfite, Bencyl Alcohol, Methychtoroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

Well I know that glycerin (glycerine) is an emollient, in other words it helps attract as well as retain moisture and it's good for the skin and hair. Here is brief info of what the other ingredients are:

-Propiene Glycol: Comes from petroleum and used as a solvent, usually used in cosmetics that will be applied near the eyes. Also, possibly carcinogenic.

-Arctostaphyious Uva-Ursi (Bearberry leaf extract): This is a good lightening ingredient, help kills bacteria, and also contains arbutin

-PEG-40 Hydrogenated caster oil: derives from castor oil, used in cosmetics

-Trideceth-9, Parfum (fragrance): of course fragrance

-Morus bombycis (Mulberry root extract): Another good skin lightener that comes from
Japan, from the dried skin of the mulberry roots.

-Daucus Carota: Meaning "carrot seed oil", rich in vitamin A which keeps skin looking young.

-Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Lactate: Ascorbic Acid is one of the forms of vitamin C and is an antioxidant, it helps produce collagen, helps to lighten, also good for wrinkles and sun damage.

-Sodium Medtabisulfite: This is used to slow or prevent deterioration of the product.

-Bencyl Alcohol: (benzyl) Can adjust the pH, help preserve, and also used as a solvent

-Methychtoroisothiazolinone: A preservative that helps kill fungi, bacteria, and yeast. Considered an allergin and can cause brain and nerve damage.

-Methylisothiazolinone: (aka "MIT") Used to help kill bacteria and is another preservative, it's also well-known to cause brain and nerve damage, and is toxic. Also used in soaps for hands and the dishes.

Since ingredients are listed from the most potent in the product to the least potent. Would it be plausible to assume that those last two ingredients aren't present in a sufficient enough amount to pose a threat?

I swear most products made in paris and africa are linked and dangerous? :S

since ingredients are listed from the most potent in the product to the least potent. Would it be plausible to assume that those last two ingredients aren't present in a sufficient enough amount to pose a threat?

When you look at it, most preservatives in our cosmeics and food are not very safe in the long run. It hasn't been used for ample amounts of time and the amount of preservative is small, so I see no big threat in it. Personally, I think it's fine to use the product as it has some good benefits to it as well and you noticed good lightening.

How much lighter did you get? What is your mother using since she had good results? Thanks

I have heard of the product but not many reviews.

Yeah, could you tell us from what shade (celebretie) you went from to what shade (celebretie)? And in how long?
Thanks!

Brown deceit... you are lucky if its working.. and besides if you mother has been using it since ages wihtout problems... why are you even tensed...

I could say that's safe enough to continue your lightening venture...

I wouldn't mind you sharing the product name with us eithe r... lol... im desperate to lighten and I'm not getting as lucky as you are...

I have been wondering about 55H+, thanks for the review

Oh yeah, I'm also wondering... if it works so well then why did your mom stop using it and let you have it? Did she find something that worked better? Or does she still use it.

Browndeceit are you still using Christaline? If so how are your results coming along?

Where can you buy this stuff

I'm confused with all the talk about Christaline. I've goggled it and couldn't find anything. Can someone please explain what is it , how it works, and where to buy it.

Do a Google search

Whoops, sorry didn't get your post red diamond, I don't know anything about this product sorry!

where can you buy this stuff

The first few days I tried nothing came up, but I finally found some sites that carry it. Once again not sure of who is legit I will pm them to you therefore you can see if you may have ordered products from them before and know who is actually safe to buy from. I'm wanting to order asap.

Hey everyone. Sorry I've been gone for so long. I've been busy with moving back on campus and school and moving everything into my new apartment. I sent the before and after pics to everyone that asked. And fairr I tried to send it to you but it said the storage in your inbox was too full.

Did you purchase the Cristaline?

Yeah I got that also

yeah i got that also

Fairr how is your Christaline coming along?

I used it for a couple of days and I broke out :\
So I had to stop I started it again last night so see if I last long enough to see results!

Were you using it on your face and how bad was the breakout.

Sorry to hear about the breakout. Was it on the face? Much luck for the second round.

Well it was like 4/5 prominent spots on my cheeks :|
But I went off it and used some benzyl peroxide and they went but then I went to france and couldn't fit the big bottle in my bag so I think I caught like a tan so I'm a shade darker :|
But I'm going to use it religiously twise a day for a week and let you guys know how it goes from now
I'm stuck on applying it though its so runny :S

Well good luck and lets hope you don't get any more breakouts.

Seems like a stronger exfoliate with hydrating and lightening properties. (Ascorbic acid, Sodium Lactate, Glycerine)

Seems pretty natural, and a great scar removal system as well, despite causing further breakouts. The Bearberry extract is another form of Alpha Arbutin as well. Much less condensed, but a good lightener regardless.

One thing you could try would be applying it temporarily for a few hours, and cleansing your face as your body often produces additional oils upon exfoliating deeply. (Then applying non-comedogenic moisturizer.) You could also use .5&#37; salicylic acid based lotion for more extreme cases of breakout prevention.

Anyhow, best of luck.

That's a good idea Lil'greg. I'll still be using the 10% glycolic acid peel, I'm unsure if it will be too mild. Tooth paste is still one of my favorites for spot treatment :p. My fam always laugh when I put it on my face, but I swear it works for me every time.

That's a nice size bottle, I was contemplating getting two, but think I should try with one first since it should last a while. While I'm waiting until payday, I have started a list of what I plan to get. And if all works well, I'll be one happy bridesmaid at my friend's wedding in the spring.

Toothpaste definitely works, especially those containing baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). ;)

Yes, I agree. At first when I was hearing about it I was surprised, but then reading how it helps with acne.. I was like, how come I didn't know about this when I was in high school!

i used it for a couple of days and i broke out :\
so i had to stop i started it again last night so see if i last long enough to see results!

OMg you broke out :eek:

Yeah I seem to be OK now though only on the second day...
Fingers crossed it might be because its greasy? I don't know :S

yeah i seem to be ok now though only on the second day...
fingers crossed it might be becuase its greasy? i don't know :S

How much are you using? I broke out the second week of using it. And that was because I was globbing large amounts on my face. In this case. LESS IS MORE. Trust me. Just put a light coating on and let it soak into your skin. I know some people use a cotton ball. But I prefer to use clean finger tips because it's less friction with the skin that way. Hope this helps. And remember. A LIGHT coating. Or mix it with something. I dilute mines with water.

I think its working actually :) face is looking bright but a bit spotty... haha

I refuse to put the cristaline on my face because of my acne.. only on my body.. anyone have good results lightening their bodies with cristalline?

Yes I use bare hands as well. My first two applications I used cotton pads then found it easier to use my bare hands

i refuse to put the cristaline on my face because of my acne.. only on my body.. anyone have good results lightening their bodies with cristalline?

Stilll applying to body and honestly I go out a lot without sunscreen on my arms. I shouldn't but I do

Naughty naughty!! So even though you are not applying sun protection, are you still seeing results, then?

Naughty naughty !!! So even though you are not applying sun protection, are you still seeing results, then?

With my arms it's hard to tell cause I am bare armed everyday, But my legs look nice.

I am guessing you live someone warm as you go bare armed every day, then? I am grateful that I live in London, although it has been quite a warm summer. I mean even today the sun is quite strong. Roll on the winter, my favourite time of year!

So sexy are using all over your body? If so, are you seeing results on your stomach, thighs, and fanny (butt lol)?

Will u please share the site name whre the product can be found..

Maharani what are you using?

I am alternating between fair and flawless and makari mainly, along with retin A.

Currently nothing on the body, although I was using bio claire but now realise it is not good for the skin.

I also use environ vitamin A cream and on other days a vitamin c gel

Oh I miss my bio claire
I was looking back at photos I was so light! :|

Yes it definitely did work but at a price.

Did you get stretch marks? I did on my belly

Thankfully no stretch marks and my skin does not appear to have suffered as a result when I stopped using it. It was just at the time that the skin was very sore and my veins were really visible, especially as the skin was so pale, almost white.

Same I loved the colour but it broke me out as well
I just hope this 55h+ works the same

Yes it definitely did work but at a price.
Which product do u use guys?

We were talking about bio claire
Dangerous stuff though don't use it

we were talking about bio claire
dangerous stuff though dont use it

Why people do say its dangerous? as it contains HQ?if so, then why people look forward to use direct HQ?thanks anyway.

I personally don't think Bio Claire had HQ in it and if it did, it was in very small quantities as I did not see any browning of the cream when I used it. I know it is steroid based though, due to the skin thinning that occurs when used.

Its got more than just hq strong steroids there a couple of threads on here about it why don't you go look for yourself

In terms of HQ being dangerous, I think that people say that because in hotter climates there have been cases of ochronosis (thickening and darkening of skin especially for people of color) and other problems like, abnormal function of the adrenal glands, and blood diseases . However it is still considered one of the best skin lighteners out there and I guess if used with caution and not long term and with correct sun protection, it can be a useful tool.

That said, HQ is not for me and I would rather use something else, personally.

its got more than just hq strong steriods there a couple of threads on here about it why dont you go look for yourself


Don't worry I know from my own experience that Bio Claire is a harmful substance and I would not advocate for anyone to use it. As I said, I am just not sure that HQ is the big issue and I believe steroids are the REAL problem with it.

Ok, I am now waiting for everything to arrive and I am hoping I'll receive everything by this week:

So, I have my fingers crossed and am hoping for the best. This is what I'll be using for the next month or so.

55H+ CRISTALINE Strong Lightening Fine Glycerin - 16.8oz bottle (http://texasbeautysupplies.com/55h00264.html)

My fingers are crossed for you too!!

Yea me too, where did you order your vitamin liquids and hq from?

I ordered the Dynamic Health Liquid Vitmamin C w/Natural Rose Hips & Bioflavonoids: 1,000mg 16 oz from Amazon for $4.89 from the retailer/manufacturer Dynamic Health. But it can be purchased many other places too.

Well, I received my Cristaline today from bhb! It does have tape around it, it would have been better if they used the professional plastic wrapping instead of tape. I was trying to see if the whole amount is there or if it's missing any. But, from looking at other photos of the product from different retailers, some of there's seem the same.

This isn't the product I ordered, but I'll use this as an example. My bottle looks low like this: http://www.beautytrend.co.uk/acatalog/PURETE.gif and other bottles looked like this:http://www.scent-heaven.com/images/CLEANSER.jpg


So I guess it depends on who you order from?

Yea I see, mine too had tape but it didn't look tacky or anything it was well packaged

You got yors from TopSkinClear? That's where I was getting mine at first, but they charge an extra $11 for shipping & handling so I cancelled it. But, they do seem to be much more professional. Mine has tape on it and some of the tape looks dingy, as long as it works and then I'll order it from somewhere else next time. I'll start using it after everything arrives hopefully by this week. I already bought the facial pads to use for the face and a spray bottle for the body.

So has 55+ worked for anyone else?

Glad to see yours didn't leak Golden. As long as it works though and as long as you're not missing much product. I found the liquid vitamin C at CVS too! Funny how I never noticed the liquid form before... Good luck with the products and keep us posted!

OK, thanks. Which brand of liquid vitamin c you saw at the CVS? If I can find it in a good liquid form I would prefer that than pills, regardless how bad it may taste. Because I hate taking pills.

The brand is NatureMade 500mg $11

Golden my bottle looked like it was missing about an eighth of the product as well. Same with the first bottle I used (my mothers). I think it just comes like that.

I ordered last night.. Just waiting on mine to come.. This Vitamin C sounds like a plan... Theres a Riteaid down the street from me... I hope they sell the liquid form there too...

Golden my bottle looked like it was missing about an eighth of the product as well. Same with the first bottle I used (my mothers). I think it just comes like that.

OK thanks, so that is a relief! I'm just impatiently waiting for my retin-a to arrive... I already have the papaya soap and 55H+. I won't be home from tomorrow until Monday, so I will have to just wait until next week to start.

Yeah, you have a good brand NewDay, that was the first brand of vitamin c I was using and I liked it. I just don't like taking pills. Nature Made also sells the liquid form but I decided to try a brand that cost less but supposed to be good too.

Vitamin C is supposed to help also with the lightening process. After I have lightened 2-3 shades, I'll start looking into making a vitmamin C serum for my skin as well.

How are you going to take your vit-c Golden_girl?

@ golden girl, I bot some of the likas papaya soap from a phillipino store and I just showered with it and didn't work... so the lady told me to wet the soap rub it on my body and den when its completely dry I take a shower... I didn't have time for that so I stopped using it... but hope this technique works for u... :)

I'm lazy so I only use on my face, I don't have time to bathe in soap than wait outside the shower than later wash it off. When I shower that's exactly what I want to do, so I only use the likas on my face. I like it.

Lol... so sexy... I know how u feel...

I'm going to drink it, maybe take 1 or 2 tablespoons daily so that'll be 1,000-2,000mg a day. I'll have to do some reading to see which amount is the most effective and hopefully it will help aid with the lightening. Maybe around December if I lighten a couple of shades, I want to start making a vitamin c rich serum, don't know yet if I can do this with liquid vitmamin c or it would go rancid. So, I may get the powdered form to make and also still take it as well as a supplement. I smelled it today and it smelled like lemonade or orange juice... tasty.


Lol... yeah I plan to use it the way I did with the Diana Stalder papaya soap. I was kind of impatient with the DS, I lathering with the body first and work my way up to my face. So I actually had a fan to blow me dry quicker, let sit for a little and then rinse. I just don't have the patience to just stand there and wait... but surprised I didn't get a cold either.

Bio claire and its related products seem very risky, it might be the steroids thinning out your skin to make it look light but it could really backfire back.

Yea my skin had gotten really thin, my viens were showing.

I know the hype with the gluta pills were to take vitamin-c pills, I did when I used Gluta. Now what are the affects of the vit-c alone?

I had printed an article of how vitamin c can help aid with the skin lightening as well as help with better absorption while using an effective lightener, I'll have to find it or find it online again. I'm going to give it a try to see if it is theory only or if it can really help aide the skin lightening process. But, yeah with gluta pills that's just trash.

I am hoping it will help aid with the lightening process with the skin lighteners and with absorption of other minerals and vitamins, and to help with melasma, ands help prevent the skin to thin since it helps with the production of collagen and elastin. I am still unsure which works best, topical or oral or to just use both. I had read in order for it to be used to help lighten the skin topically, I must be used higher than 5&#37; and that it possibly can become unstable and oxidize when used in cosmetics. So, I'm hoping the oral method will help.

From an asian article: "Antioxidants should be used in conjunction and I recommend oral antioxidants as well as topical products because one needs to persuade the melanocyte to make as little melanin as possible. Oral vitamin C may be useful in lightening pigmentation provided that adequate sun protection is being used. I recommend about 1000 mg of oral vitamin C (best taken as the ester) and I also use the strongest vitamin C that I know of as a topical agent. I use a product with ascorbyl tetra-isopalmitate which is much more effective than 15% ascorbic acid or magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. This form of vitamin C is absorbed into the cell in high concentrations and creates an antioxidant atmosphere that counteracts the oxidising atmosphere that is necessary for the chain of reactions that produce melanin. In addition it is a tyrosinase inhibitor."

I had sent an email asking what form of vitamin c it is ascorbic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl tetra-isopalmitate. It is kosher and doesn't contain yeast, wheat, corn, soy or milk. So, it may be trial and error until I find the most ideal liquid brand.

Ok, I am now waiting for everything to arrive and I am hoping I'll receive everything by this week:

1. Likas Papaya Skin Whitening Herbal Soap
2. 55H+ Cristaline Glycerine Fine Eclaircissant Intense

Where did you get your 55 H +? I can't find it anywhere in NYC, or on the net. I tried Amazon, they don't have it.

Hey, I'm still searching for it, It was a really good site that had a lot of information on it and everything broken down to a science too. Hopefully, I'll be able to find it by this weekend and I'll post it.
