    As I said I was quoting weezing I think most people know about herbalinn by now... I have yet to see or hear that it works... besides newbie... I haven't heard of another black person say that it works

    I just wish there was another source for buying ba. I was searching for it and inquiried a chinese company who sold mono and arbutin(I think) and they said they had BA but I don't know. I a lot of people have been saying if they get it from another place than herbalinn it's usually a scam... plus your give them money by money gram... I don't think so. What you think?

    Hey, about BA... you know its only the extracted part of arbutin... and that the chemical name BA doesn't exist on the internet... it is just made from a couple of places, and they made this name for it... but really it is just normal arbutin... and you can buy the powder from a few places... and I know K-S pharm specializes in it, and STAY AWAY from them... all their stuff is mixed with other things and is very dangerous. There are a couple of places in America that sell arbutin powder... or you could all just buy the actual bearberry extract which arbutin comes from and take that orally... it comes in capsule or tablet form...

    So you think it's just another form of arbutin.. It kind of makes sense.

    Yeah, it is just the extract of it... so you are better just going for the actual arbutin... but bearberry is arbutin... so even just buying the capsules at the chemist or health food shop, would do just fine.. and you could even take the herb powder out of the capsules and mix it into cream or something and apply it to your skin, if you don't want to take it orally..

    I am taking the capsules at the moment... bearberry(uva ursi) and yellow dock ( of what Tyrostat comes from ) .

    THank you so much. I was thinking about trying ba but its so expensive for that little biy. My mom o didn't cost that much. I'm going to see if I can find some. I found it funnu that herbalinn is the only place that sells that stuff but it says it a form of arbutin and bearbearry.

    I was wondering, since you give good advice, what kind of soap should I use to exfloitate my skin? Any one inperticular? I am running out of one I have but it has hq in it and I am trying to stay away from this time! If I am not mistaken, your using mono? Do you find your skin is always peeling? I am in that stage right now? I get lighter, then darker, face peels, then I am lighter than before.

    Yes I am using mono, and I'm at the snake skin stage.. skin is scaly and peeling a bit... the worst part of all!
    I find exfoliating the worst thing for this process as it just makes the skin much tighter... soft... but very very tight! I use apricot scrub, and also an exfoliation towel from the body shop... so you can put whatever soap you desire on it and then foam it up on the towel and scrub all you like, or till you can take it anymore... I have stopped exfoliating my face, because it is just making things worse, so I am just applying moisturizer a lot through the day... just to help the cracking of the skin... so it is not as painful...

    Also here is another place that sells arbutin powder Alpha-Arbutin Powder 99.5% / 5 gr
    I have never bought from them... but just did a bit of research as to who else sells it... and this one is in america..

    Aurbutin powder isn't even expensive really I have seen a site that sells lots of actives... once you know about ingredients and what works and doesn't work for you I think it maybe a lot better mixing these things up yourself... at least you know what's in it I think that's why I'm hesitant to order from herbalinn I really like knowing what I'm putting on my skin

    Gardern wisdom is where I have ordered my HQ from

    Yeah, I wish I were more of a chemical person. I could just buy raw Arbutin and mix it into Alpha/Benzyl-Arbutin. Arbutin itself isn't that strong for lightening.

    This may be a much better option compounding your own stuff I'm sure BA doesn't have anything special in it that we couldn't make ourselves

    1- Is it true that mono will only turn you white and no other color??
    According to the description of mono its says that once you achieve the skin color you wanted, all you have to do is use mono once or twice a week. That description is used for damn near every skin lightener so that doesnt mean it will turn you white.

    2- I hear its not for dark skinned people. Im not dark skin im like a medium brown color and I do have an uneven skin tone(dark in some areas very light in others) so will this work for me?

    3- If I stop using it, will I continue you to depig?


    4- Does it automatically turn you white? what im asking you is, do the color of you skin fade? for example does it go from brown to yellow to white or does it go from brown to white?

    I really appreciate all you answers
    I got the cream and its hard as hell to get it. It works and I does not turn your skin white unless you want it to. It does not create spots either but it does permanently change your color unless you go in the sun often and tan back to your original color. I have some but its going to cost you and its expensive but not in the hundreds. [email protected] hit me up
