What is the % Hydroquinone? How many shades lighter can I get with this?The bottle sounds big, does the cream turn brown? I find that creams with brown around the cap dont work and make me browner. I think that was Topiclear in the big tall bottle

On which product? 55H+ has a few different products. If you mean the 55H+ Chrystalline I do not believe it has HQ

I want something that actually has chemicals.. that sounds bad but I don't believe "natural" never does it as good as a chemical would

hey guys! today will be my third day using the glycerine on my face and my face has taken on a dark brown reddish look and my skin is kinda peeling. i dont look too cute right now, my makeup actually makes me look worse. Browndeceit, i dont recall you saying that it will make your skin peel? i'm also using a papaya and vanilla soap i forgot from who, i know papaya makes your skin peel but i've using it for like a month and it doesnt seem to do much anymore anyway. should i stick it out? i got two pimples already but that can be my menstrual coming. any good cleansers that keep pimples away? thnx

It didn't make my skin peel at all. Or make me dry at all.. . Maybe it's not for your skin? Everyone has different reactions. Anyone else's skin peel while using the glycerin? It's a really oil based product. So I find this odd. Must not be for you. What works for others won't always work for u

Where did you get that it has hq in it?
It doesn't

"Extreme Body Lotion Strong Bleaching"
Hydroquinone free? What does it have?

[so sexy]

My skin has'nt peeled with the Cristaline but yes the papaya soap will make you peel. Maybe the soap along with the cristaline is causing the peeling

Thanks ladies. Maybe it is the papaya soap... hmm, but I'm going to keep at it for a little while longer, see what happens. Hopefully nothing bad. I will keep you guys posted.

[Itss A New Day]

Hi guys, I'm going to try the Crystaline and the body lotiion with the green writing on the label. I will post my results as well to help others evaluate. Actually, let me 1st introduce myself as you guys are probably looking like "who is this new chick." My old username was "Its A New Day" (with one "s" after "Its"), and I hopped on the bio claire bandwaggon when it was hot. Deleted my account and stopped using bio claire (it worked on my face, thinned the skin on my neck to where scrubbing in the shower was giving me bruises, noticed thinning on my arms and legs but no overall lightening results on my body. Reallly lightened my sister who is about 2-3 shades lighter than me [ I am about a shade darker than kelly rowland]). So I stopped using bio claire and used Tri-Luma (4% HQ with tretinoin), but it was soooo strong that it LITERALLY BLEACHED MY FACE BY PEELING OFF CHUNKS OF PIGMENT WITHIN DAYS. So I said to hell with lightening I just want to look normal because my face was so many different colors. Ok over the summer got my pigment back, got a prescription for real Retin-A Micro (for acne) and will not be lightening my face anytime soon, but I am really trying to lighten my body because my arms go SO DARK after the summer. Ok I know that was a mouthful but it is good to establish some rapport before just jumping in here, so that is my story. I used the crystalline and lotion for like 3 days, then switched to using Othine right now (for a week now, which is 3% HQ), no results so far. I guess Ill go back to the Crystalline since you guys are seeing results, but I hate hopping from lightening products so I hope this works. As I said I'll post results within the week or month.

My 3rd day using the cristaline (using it only on my back btw)... I find it kind of sticky... hours after applying it, it still feels sticky on the skin... is it the same for you guys?

Yep. I apply it on my face neck and chest. I never sleep with it on my skin. I apply. Let it soak in for about 5-8 hours. Then take a shower or wash my face and get it all off. Let my skin sit dry for about an hour without any product. Then apply a nice moisturizer for when I sleep. It's an all day event for me. Lol. But I only do it once or twice a week. Three times max!

[so sexy]

Yes its sticky

"Extreme Body Lotion Strong Bleaching"
Hydroquinone free? What does it have?

... Are you my twin? I notice our names are very similar..
I don't believe the chrystaline will turn brown, usually products that contains hydroquinone will turn brown due to oxidation and will nolonger become effective.

Welcome Itss A New Day, possibly try using a skin lightener for about 1 month to see if you notice any lightening changes since the skin cells shed within about every 28 days

Lol, GGGGGGIRL :)

Yes I know, it's hydroquinone free,, but what IS it that makes it effective, anybody know? Since it's not Hydroquinone.

Hi everyone,can someone please tell me where I can purchase the crystalline 55h+ online ?any answers would be gretaly appreciated.

[itsamor]

Anyone have before and after picture. I want some proof in the pudding.

[Golden_Girl]

Mine is somewhere around here if you are willing to do some digging.

[Gr8stuff]

Thanks BrownDeceit and so sexy... I absolutely hate the stickiness... lol

[Golden_Girl]

Is the stickiness that bad? I guess the consistency of much oil and glycerin can be uncomfortable. Does it absorb in after a while or sits on the skin?

Browndeceit, I was thinking maybe a potent vitamin C serum will help give a nice natural looking glow to the skin.
