    Bio Claire, Meladerm , DS?
    Which of the three work most efficiently? And if NONE then what would be a good brand to use, keep in mind I am african american with a golden-to bronze skin tone , I have been somewhat lurking on this site reading up on all the different brands and so far I've concluded that

    fair &white= crap
    mono= BIGGER crap


    Also I have inhibitions about the DS because I do NOT want to use a cream that peels and burns at my skin :eek:, so I ask which of these three or what cream would be the best?

    I have attached an image of myself below

    Bio claire works.. I am using it now for 3 weeks. I like my results. I use the lotion and oil(sometimes). I have been switching it up to get what works best for me skin.

    About how many shades would you say you've lightened up?

    ALSO I've been thinking about funky mommy being as that I heard a lot of good results with this product

    Any insight people?

    I never was good with shades but I was like a dusty brown now I am easing to highyellow. Its strange because I haven't lightened evenly yet. The sides of my face is really light and my cheeks are a light brown yellow but I noticed today they are slowly brightening up.

    Are you using the product correctly or is it just your skin like that..

    Anyone else have these problems?

    I'm thinking of buying Bio Claire lotion since some said its extremely well matched for combination skin

    And for my exfoliation I'm buying funky mommy gluta soap?

    Will these two combinations mess my skin up?

    Ok I'm terrified to use these products now, I just saw a special on tyra saying how one kid got skin cancer using the skin lightening products, and random break outs

    I don't want that to happen to my skin, the last thing I want to do is try and fix it and I end up ruining up

    OMG are you serious?? I seen Tyra's special on skin lightening and none of the guest had skin cancer:confused:

    Anyway, did the kid use Bio Claire? Im seeing phenomenal results with Bio Cliare Lotion but sometimes I do get little bumps on my face. I'll stop using it if my health is at risk!

    Ok so I watched the show thoroughly and there are RISKS but no one caught skin cancer I misconstrued the info , a woman was bleaching her sons but none had skin cancer , my sister told me that and I think she dramatized the story WAYYY much


    And sorry babydoll buT I Don't know of any skin lightening pills I'm doing a little digging trying to find some I'll keep you posted

    Oh and Ill be purchasing some bio claire within the next week ill keep a daily diary of it

    Im still thinking of getting some funky mommy gluta soap though

    I thinking of buying either Fair Lady Whitening cream (with UV protection and vitamins A and E) or Bio Claire!

    I used Fair Lady Whitening cream when I was on holiday in Nigeria and oh my gosh, it worked so well and I had only used it for 1 week and a bit! When I came back one of my friends called me over and asked me what I had used because my skin had gotten much lighter, so I can say that definitely works! However it contains hydroquinone so if you're a bit unsure about using that then don't use it, but I used it with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

    So I'm planning on either getting the Fair Lady cream but if it's not in the beauty supply store that I'm going to, I'll just get the Bio Claire cream (tub).
    Please let me know how your experience was.
    Here is a link for the Fair Lady cream:
