Information updated

Have personally used awanshine fade cream and the serum. It worked for me within a week. I could see visible changes on my knees and knuckles within just three days of using the serum. And it is very safe.This is the best I have used in 12 years. The price is rediculously low compared to similar natural hydroquinone free products. But I believe it does the job well. The feedback on their site is really authentic since it comes off eBay, compared to what other skin care companies provide. It is easy to verify feedback.
Give it a shot and you might be surprise. visit their website at www.skin-so-fair.com of information. Please try and read the beauty tips

Hey ^^~ I've been searching for a good lightening serum/cream since forever.. and Awanshine sounds like a hopeful product.. I wanted to do a background search on the product.. but then came up with really bad results.. From Global Healing Group, I found out that this product has toxic impurities.. and is much less 'natural' than it claims to be.. :eek: Lols.. the main reason I registered on the boards, is because I wanted to warn you.. So I hope that will be helpful.. it's so terrible that an effective product is harmful X__X;; ayes.. must continue my search then..

Have done a lot of research on personal care products particularly skin lightening ingredients. What you think is toxic is not. 99% of all makeup products in the world today use these ingredients. For example the parabens such as methyl paraben, propyl paraben, butyl paraben, have all be approved by the U.S cosmetics and ingredient review committee. These are preservatives used in cosmetics at such a low concentration and as little as 0.01% is effective as preservative. visit their website at
http://www.cir-safety.org/ for more information.
You actually see other ingredients like propylene glycol, butylene glycol, these are also approved ingredients for use in cosmetics worldwide. Every chemical in the world is toxic if used above a certain concentation. Even medications such as aspirin, though safe, becomes toxic if improperly used.
visit Google and start your search today and let me know which companies uses alternative preservatives. visit www.makari.com and check their ingredients. This is another company that sells natural lightening products. They use preservatives like methylparaben and also propylene glycol. You want that perfect product, keep searching and keep me informed.
visit http://www.cir-safety.org/staff_files/publist.pdf and see the safety list of ingredients.
My guess is that a product is natural when it contains all natural lightening ingredients.
Also visit Paula Begoun's website; an author of several books on cosmetics. She has written a book on cosmetics. Actually she has a cometics dictionary. visit her website http://www.cosmeticscop.com/shop/pro...=S#ingredients
These are her ingredients in her lightening cream/lotion. Hydroquinone 2% (melanin inhibitor). Other Ingredients: Purified Water, Glycolic Acid (alpha-hydroxy acid) Dicaprylyl Maleate (thickener/emollient), Cyclomethicone (skin conditioning agent), Ethoxydiglycol (emulsifier), Glyceryl Stearate (thickener), Cetearyl Alcohol (thickener), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Lactic Acid (water binding agents), Stearic Acid, Isostearic Acid (thickeners), Sodium Hydroxide (pH balancer), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate (thickener), Rosa Canina (Rose Hips) Fruit Oil (plant oil/emollient), Squalane (emollient), Dimethicone (skin conditioning agent), Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E/antioxidant), Panthenol (water-binding agent), Allantoin (skin soothing agent), Hydrogenated Lecithin (emollient), Bisabolol (skin soothing agent), Sodium PCA (water-binding agent), Kojic Dipalmitate (emollient), Xanthan Gum, PEG-100 Stearate (thickeners), Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Sulfite, Disodium EDTA (preservatives), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben (all preservatives).

From this list you can see that the parabens (at least 3 of them), propylene glycols, glycerin, butylene glycol, Dimethicone are all there. Do you think these ingredients are toxic? Absolutely not. The concentrations used can never be harmful to humans. This is why they are all approved by the cosmetics and ingredient review commission.

Most products made for babies also contain most of the list. Therefore my conclusion is don't base your judgement on that list because you will search for centuries and you will never find that perfect product you want. Awanshine products are awesome.
visit avons website, click on ingredients, visit mary kay and check their ingredients and other thousands of products in the market. Better still go to walmart with your list and start scrutinizing each cream, lotion etc on the shelves and see what I mean. These are all approved ingredients. So the details in this posting are truly unfounded

[QUOTE=Reenajos]I have wheatish complexion and have pigmentation. I was looking for a cream which doesnot contain hydroquinone. Then I came across this website http://www.cosmepharm.com/index.php. In this website there is a cream called "Awanshine lightening cream". It seems good since it contains natural whitening agent arbutin.
Has anyone used it? Is it safe to use this cream? Please help.

TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK :)

I want to say THANK-YOU! This product is wonderful and does exactly what it says it will do. I must admit, I was very skeptical . I am a medium complexion African American women, who has had acne problems of some sort all of my life, I scar very easily and they are very dark. I have been to several dermatology doctors from my early teens up until about May of this year. I've tired things like Retin-Aproducts and the dreaded hydroquinone. Not one of my doctors had even suggested to me to try a product with kojic acid, not even the Black doctors I had seen. I began using this product at the end of June. It is now the end of July, and I am amazed. First of all , the dark scars on my face have dramatically improved and the condition of my skin is incredible. My skin feels smooth and my acne breakouts have decreased . Another thing I forgot to mention was the price. For a product of this caliber, the price is unbelievable. Skin-So-Fair has definitely made a believer out of me. I have told my niece about this product and she is excited to try it. You guys have a customer for life. Sincerely, S. Lewis Gardena, CA 90249

Hey! Awww thanks so much for the gift offer! Well the serum and the body milk does wonders for my skin. Whichever one of those you want to send is just fine (^-^). Just wanted to thank you sooo much again for the great product! When the M.K. sales lady came up to me and complimented my skin I was totally baffled because I usually have lots of blemishes and huge pores and the skin tone is totally uneven and I have eczema , etc.. I've never had "good" skin... so I was SO surprised! Anyway wow! You are a God-send to be selling this! Being Filipino, white/light skin is absolutely beautiful and treasured (which is funny because in America being tan is supposedly wanted? Haha :D ) and now I'm starting to have lighter skin even if I haven't been using your product that long! Before I was debating between your product and this other product from the Philippines
called Godiva. Thank goodness I bought yours <3! Just... wow. Thank you so so much!!
Best regards and God bless! Didi (AN EBAYER)

Hi Tetroit and others

Initially after knowing the ingredients I felt that Awanshine cream contained harmful ingredients but the ingredients used in this is not harmful and are also used in other famous brand products.. one of the example is Peter Thomas.. if anyone interested can have alook at the ingredients in those products... and so please don't look into my previous messages saying that this cream contains anything harmful... I too did a lot of research about these ingredients as Camtours.
So I want you all to know that Awanshine is safe to use.
