    Holiday Horror! Need a magic cream!
    Hi everyone

    I am going on a holiday to Spain in a few days time and would love to be able to wear my new bikinis on the beach. The problem is my back is very dark compare to my front body part. I have been using 55H+ for months now with no good result.

    I would like a recommendation for a body lightening product that would work all over the body or that would help lighten my back and stomack area to even out my complexion. And my neck refused to lighten up as well!!

    Please help. Any suggestion is very welcome.

    PS: Something that would work quickly would be much appreciated.

    Unfortunately there are no magic creams out there.

    No matter what you do, you will get dark if you go out in the sun no matter how high the factor is. Although, it does help somewhat.

    When it comes to lightening, the key is you need to be patient.

    A few product suggestions are Bio Claire, Diana Stalder, and Makari. I'm sure other members will post their recommendations too. Also, look out for products that contain either kojic acid, arbutin (bearberry, mulberry, etc) or licorice.
    There are also kojic acid soaps out there that you might want to try.

    Good luck!

    I really wish there were a MAGIC CREAM out there!! But I guess we can all dream right? But to the point,lightening takes time and patience.you probably won't be able to do it in a short time unless you want to damage your skin

    If you got like 2 weeks, I can only recommend products that have steroids like movate or neoprosone, they work the fastest

    Movate and neoprosone have steroids in them?

    Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid used to treat various skin disorders including eczema and psoriasis. It comes in ointment and emollient cream presentations. It has very high potency and typically should not be used with occlusive dressings, or for extended continuous use (beyond two weeks). It is also used to treat several auto-immune diseases including alopecia areata, vitiligo and lichen planus (auto immune skin nodules).
    Clobetasol propionate is marketed and sold worldwide under numerous names including Clobex, Temovate (US),Olux, Tenovate, Dermovate, Dermatovate, Butavate and, Movate.

    Couldn't find neoprosone on wikipedia but it is also a corticosteroid

    Thanks evryone, you've all been very helpful. I came across a lightening cream/lotion called Nur76. Has anyone head or tried this product before?

    Let me know your views, as I'm considering buying it, though, it quite expensive - the whole package going for about $200+!

    Did you write that or is it copied from somewhere?

    There is a world of difference between steroids and corticosteroids - I do appreciate that "steroids" is slang for either.
    Corticosteroids - Steroids - Dosage - Side Effects - Interactions - Warnings
