Ya, I used to use Ambi too, but it does nothing for me either... Has anyone used Black & White Bleaching Cream or even Amira? I'm black so I'm not sure if a skin whitener is what I need. I don't want my complexion too look yellowy or fake, just natural like 1 or 2 shades lighter

You're not just going to get yellowy overnight or in 4 months, if your are dark skin and only using one product. Since you want to get 1 to 2 shades lighter, exfoliate your skin. Wash your face twice daily with your choice of face wash. Use a mild lactic acid peel, use sunscreen daily, drink plenty water, use amira tube or try maxi light tube, oil and lotion, it works well for dark skinned black women who want to tone their skin but not get light once a day before you go to bed. Try also vitamin c lotion mixed with vitamin c oil, use it in the morning. That should get you 1 to 2 shades lighter, gradually. Try black and white bleaching cream on your thighs to see if it works, I've used it before, but only a few days, so I don't know if it works. Good luck!
