I was wondering if anyone else experiences this. You find a cream that really works, lightens you up many shades, then after several months you notice that you are getting darker again.

This happens to me a lot with over the counter creams. Which is why I've been through so many of them. My skin becomes immune to it. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes. And on the subject of immunity, melanocytes are actually a higly evolved part of our immune systems (thats why auto-immune diseases often result in their own self-destruction)

Wish I knew, I'm always bouncing from one cream to the next.:rolleyes:

I have been using Fair and Flawless for 5 years but I have used it on and off because I like to try other products.

I've always heard that you should switch shampoo's so your hair won't get get dull, I wondered does that apply to skin care products as well? I thought maybe...

Fair and Flawless is my #1 cream but I wanted to switch up now and again with another cream just in case.

Which one? Does anna still offer that service where you mail them some magazine clippings of the celebrity's tone that you want to look like an they whip you up a made to order custom complexion! :)

Yes, that would be the custom made creams.
I'm using the Facial Lightening Cream and I'm also using the 5XF Gel on my hands (loving it!! ) and the Crème de Laser.

I put some Retin A in the jar of the facial cream and mixed it up, so on the days I just want to use a cream and not Retin A I use the Crème de Laser.

Nikki was the 5XF Gel able to lighten the knuckles too? You ever thought of purchasing in bulk sizes to get a cheaper price per item from F&F?

Oh yeah most definitely lightens the knuckles!
That's what I'm concentrating on right now.
Of course the skin on the rest of the hands lighten up first/faster.

There is a BIG difference in what my hands looked like before.
When I make a fist I really see where the lightening is taking place.

I'm more consistent with it now and still have a lot left in the jar.
It just keeps getting better! I'm finally seeing what people were raving about 5XF GEL. This product is THE ONE for lightening knees, elbows and knuckles.

At first I was like how it is going to work? It's just a gel. Innocent looking product and it kicks butt. Works by exfoliation/lightening. When I wash my hands or especially getting out of the tub after taking a long and warm shower you can really tell. When I touch my knuckles and rub them the skin is rolling off. The gel breaks up the darker skin.

No, I never thought about purchasing in bulk.:confused:
Only a few of the products you can purchase in bulk.
And in bulk it only means more jars, when I used the drop down menu.
I think you can purchase in larger size containers when you buying wholesale.

That's some good stuff you got then, I wish I knew how to make my own version of it. I tried forever to lighten my knuckles and all. They were able to lighten a little, but far from ketching up with the rest of my hands.
