Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I've been lurking for quite some time.

My quick story. I started using F&W original line years ago when it first came out, and the results were lovely. Yes it lightened my skin, peeled it in areas, but the results were very natural looking (not that washed out or overbleached look you get with a lot of the other products). I knew back then I could rely on my F&W to give me a smooth, almost porcelain-like complexion every time from just 1 day of use. Yes, it worked that quick!

I started using the exclusive line which was also good for quick lightening. The kojic acid in it was very effective, but made my skin too light for my liking, but at least it worked!However, the products have not worked for me at all for the past 2 years. I was so happy to find an old bottle of the cream laying around that worked, then went stir crazy when I "lost it". Come to find out my mother took it, started using it and hid it from me! I went off lol That stuff was crack! :p

I tried guesso.com and the 2 sites that they advertise on the fair and white website- no luck. The BSS used to carry the real stuff years back but either they're fake now or F&W really cut back on the ingredients. What's up?? Anyone know where I can buy some REAL F&W??

I have also tried bio claire with no results. Maybe I wasn't consistent with it long enough.. or not using the right combination... F&W made me that impatient. Any reputable online sources for it?

Thanks

Its not that FW cut back on the ingredients its your skin won't accept it anymore

Same thing happened to me using the blue bottle exclusive whitenizer... I lightened damn near 5 shades it was ridiculous...

But after a while it just stopped working... I took a 2 year break and tried again but now it just makes me red...

I remember when I used to put it on and literally see a lightening effect in 5 seconds...

Problem with these creams is they never work forever
