RedBone since you have sensitive skin its probably better to start with the smallest dose of tretinoin, which is 0.025%. If that agree with you or you see minimal results then you can move on to the 0.05%. Then the 0.1% is the strongest. Now you say you have eczema? My sister has eczema on and off, and you know what? Her dermi prescribed her a steroid cream that not only controlled the eczema but lightened her skin. Her doctor said she used so much that it thinned her skin and the eczema ultimately came back, but she didn't know why. Her skin was so fair and beautiful, but you could never tell her skin had thinned; it looked healthy nonetheless. Ultimately what I am saying is steroid creams will work to control your eczema, and will lighten your skin, but you cannot use steroid creams for too long because of there are other dangers, and steroids get absorbed in your bloodstream after a while, but it works for eczema and lightening is my point.

Alsoo on the internet they said Bio Claire can cause Cushings Disease... When applying it to your face you allow heavy amounts of the steroids to saturate through your skin and enter your bloodstream even faster!! And here I was.. the fool who basically dumped the oil cream lotion mixed together all over my body like 3 times per day because I was not working then but anyway thank goodness I ran out... and when I looked at some of the side effects for Cushings... I had some of them Nausea,Fever,Headaches but nothing else really... good news is that its not a permanent disease... which means that once you stop using the product that caused it... the high amount of steroids should eventually leave your system and no longer be present in your blood... now I don't feel any more side effects but someone needs to make a thread warning about certain products for those who don't think to research a product or for those who know the bad stuff about a product and are still stubborn enough to use it

Wow I had no idea. I guess they must have literally DUMPED the steroids in there. I was getting the itch to go back to this again because my bad experience was minor compared to others, and the results were fast, but I guess I will take heed to this and just say "no."

Great... glad to help... all of the nasty bumps went down and then left dark marks all over... so even though you could see that I was lighter.. all the marks was hiding the results... so I went and purchase some kind of derma36 oxygen peel kit... I was so desperate... but good news is that the kit worked even though it cost me 19 dollars but I still have a few spare marks on my chest near my u know which means that I can wear any v necks or low cut shirts but its just a couple marks on there and my shoulders and upper back... one I peel and lighten they should leave just like any other dark skin pigmentation

Yes fortunately new fresh marks can come and go if you use the right products. I had a random breakout of bumps on my upper arm, (maybe from the bio claire in retrospect), but anyway they left black marks, and I applied hq religiously, I swear I was determined to get rid of them, and it took maybe two months or so but just like that they vanished, so just keep applying lightening products I guess

I posted something similar a while back: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/skin-l...ds-386591.html

Not as detailed, but focuses on some products to avoid and why. Others have also psted threads on why to avoid Bio Claire with links of evidence.

Oh how nice of you to help your mom out! :) You're a good daughter.
Perhaps you can try some Latic Acid or Glycolic Acid those are exfoliates with no visible peeling it really smooths the skin and you can use it more often at the low percentage.

I don't how someone can be a vegetarian, I cleaned out my refrigerator and bought nothing but fruit and veggies because I was just trying to eat better not to become a vegetarian and it just seemed like I was hungry all the time! Like the fruits and veggies did not fill me up. My stomach wanted something heavier. I tried so hard but I just gave in!

Ding Dong! PaPa Johns delivery
Ding Dong! Dominos Pizza! LOL!
I got chicken wings.:D

I have read many good things about this type of f&w, it should lighten you very well. I am also considering it, but I'll try the 55H+ first.

Maharani, you sound like me! Well, I able to stop eating red meat for 6 years. I lasted as a vegetarian for 2 whole months! Now once in awhile I'l eat red meat like lamb, but mainly pultry and seafood. When eating without meat I always feel hungry and like something is missing. I would have called papajohns too and it hits the spot!

Redbone, I buy natural shea butter for my cousin who has ezcema on many areas of her body, it has helped to clear it up quite well. Also, there are foods that she has to avoid that'll cause an ezcema outbreak, I can't remember them off the top of my head. Authentic black soap also helps with this too.

I'm not Maharani:( I'm Nikki:)

Yes! I craved chicken.
When I go to the grocery store I don't even buy raw meat.

I always get my meat from precooked Tyson chicken wings or Hotpockets, every now and again purchase some bologna or hotdogs. McDonalds for beef from their cheeseburgers, but me go the store and by some beef or chicken bring home to season and cook? NOPE!

Just can't cook like my mom can, I'll eat her cooking when she cooks with meat.

nikkicute · Oct 10, 2009, 05:24 PM

LOL! Nothing is wrong.
Your cool with me buddy! :D
Guess she got us mixed up again.

Golden_Girl · Oct 10, 2009, 10:12 PM

I did! Soooorrryy, that's embarressing. I would have never noticed my flaw:ooh. That was my first time right? I guess since you guys are vets up here.

Lol... Nikki you never bought raw meat? I cook all the time but also love pizza. But the only red meat I ever purchase would be lamb, the rest is seafood and white poultry. I dislike pork.

No, you mixed me up with someone else before, I forgot who though. Lol

My cooking sucks, just doesn't taste like mom's. I can follow a recipe but I'm not one of those people who can just whip someone up.

When my stepdad was alive we used to go to this church where they did not eat pork, so for a whole year we did not eat it my sister, stepdad and I. My mom still ate it. I don't know what happened in that year but when I went back to eating it, I had sub from Subway and I got a cold a week later.
I NEVER had a cold in the summer!

It just seemed like when I ate pork I would get a cold in a week. I remember having a hotdog that was both beef and pork and I still got a cold.
So I stopped eating it for a while, but I got away with it on pizza cause I know that pepperoni on pizza is not all beef, I'm sure the bacon I've purchased in the past had some pork in it and I did not get a cold. I still like it but I just don't go out of my way to eat it.

I love lamb! My mom's friend cooked me some curry lamb with rice and it WAS GOOD!! I had him cook it for me two more times.:D

Golden_Girl · Oct 11, 2009, 07:16 PM

Lol... I'll have to pay more attention then.
Curry lamb w/ basmati rice is very good, lamb w/ berbere spice and injera is really good too.
