Why people do say its dangerous? as it contains HQ?if so, then why people look forward to use direct HQ?thanks anyway.

I personally don't think Bio Claire had HQ in it and if it did, it was in very small quantities as I did not see any browning of the cream when I used it. I know it is steroid based though, due to the skin thinning that occurs when used.

Its got more than just hq strong steroids there a couple of threads on here about it why don't you go look for yourself

MAHARANI · Sep 25, 2009, 10:03 AM

In terms of HQ being dangerous, I think that people say that because in hotter climates there have been cases of ochronosis (thickening and darkening of skin especially for people of color) and other problems like, abnormal function of the adrenal glands, and blood diseases . However it is still considered one of the best skin lighteners out there and I guess if used with caution and not long term and with correct sun protection, it can be a useful tool.

That said, HQ is not for me and I would rather use something else, personally.

Don't worry I know from my own experience that Bio Claire is a harmful substance and I would not advocate for anyone to use it. As I said, I am just not sure that HQ is the big issue and I believe steroids are the REAL problem with it.

Ok, I am now waiting for everything to arrive and I am hoping I'll receive everything by this week:

1. Likas Papaya Skin Whitening Herbal Soap
2. 55H+ Cristaline Glycerine Fine Eclaircissant Intense
3. Tretinoin 0.05%
4. Hydroquinone 4% ( for my arms, hands, acne spots)
5. Dynamic Health Liquid Vitamin C w/Natural Rose Hips & Bioflavonoids: 1,000mg 16 oz
6. Neutrogena spf 85

*I also ordered generic brand of Lattise, so I hope to grow extra long and thick eyelashes before the winter is over.

So, I have my fingers crossed and am hoping for the best. This is what I'll be using for the next month or so.

Yea me too, where did you order your vitamin liquids and hq from?

Golden_Girl · Oct 19, 2009, 03:05 PM

I ordered the Dynamic Health Liquid Vitmamin C w/Natural Rose Hips & Bioflavonoids: 1,000mg 16 oz from Amazon for $4.89 from the retailer/manufacturer Dynamic Health. But it can be purchased many other places too.

Well, I received my Cristaline today from bhb! It does have tape around it, it would have been better if they used the professional plastic wrapping instead of tape. I was trying to see if the whole amount is there or if it's missing any. But, from looking at other photos of the product from different retailers, some of there's seem the same.

This isn't the product I ordered, but I'll use this as an example. My bottle looks low like this:

and other bottles looked like this:

So I guess it depends on who you order from?

so sexy · Oct 19, 2009, 04:05 PM

Yea I see, mine too had tape but it didn't look tacky or anything it was well packaged

Golden_Girl · Oct 19, 2009, 05:10 PM

You got yors from TopSkinClear? That's where I was getting mine at first, but they charge an extra $11 for shipping & handling so I cancelled it. But, they do seem to be much more professional. Mine has tape on it and some of the tape looks dingy, as long as it works and then I'll order it from somewhere else next time. I'll start using it after everything arrives hopefully by this week. I already bought the facial pads to use for the face and a spray bottle for the body.

canuguesswhoiam · Oct 19, 2009, 05:29 PM

So has 55+ worked for anyone else?

Glad to see yours didn't leak Golden. As long as it works though and as long as you're not missing much product. I found the liquid vitamin C at CVS too! Funny how I never noticed the liquid form before... Good luck with the products and keep us posted!

Golden_Girl · Oct 20, 2009, 09:12 AM

OK, thanks. Which brand of liquid vitamin c you saw at the CVS? If I can find it in a good liquid form I would prefer that than pills, regardless how bad it may taste. Because I hate taking pills.

The brand is NatureMade 500mg $11

BrownDeceit · Oct 20, 2009, 02:05 PM

Golden my bottle looked like it was missing about an eighth of the product as well. Same with the first bottle I used (my mothers). I think it just comes like that.

afro13queen · Oct 20, 2009, 02:22 PM

I ordered last night.. Just waiting on mine to come.. This Vitamin C sounds like a plan... Theres a Riteaid down the street from me... I hope they sell the liquid form there too...
