Mine didn't leak either, I think some sellers are just more careful with there products and want to asure us buyers are satisfied and tape the lid etc. up.

If we feel wierd about telling ppl even our family about bleaching im sure Rihanna won't admit this to the world

BTW I'm not selecting your quote in particular except to just point out that's it's not fair people can't or are unwilling to share what they use...

I wish their weren't a stigma attached to bleaching/whitening/lightening... if you are black people assume it's self hatred... in fact anything a person who is considered black tries to do to change, enhance or accentuate is considered self hatred... if you get weaves.. you must wann be white.. or something.. if you wear contact lenses... you want to be white... it really sucks... sometimes people just want a change.. and it has nothing to do with wanting to be another race... sometimes certain features just look so exotic and beautiful on black people...

If an asian or an Indian/arab wants to bleach sometimes it's not considered as self hatred so much as class or cultural reasons... it is an unfair double standard...

Anyway.. it seems even doctors won't dish out the secret either.. I went to several cosmetic dermatologists, and basically tried to see if they had any procedures, or products and no one could come up with anything other than hydroqinone at 5%. Which for what I have seen and can tell really doesn't work all that great on dark skin... unless you use it for a long time and even then.. can be dangerous...

Seems nobody wants to come clean.. LOL... sucks... but somehow people all over hollywood magically get light... :confused:

[Boricua1]

he he....yeah I bet one of those celebs are reading our pleads...well I guess one you ladies and gents will have to make it big and famous and then report back to AMHD of all the celebs' secrets...

LOL.. or at least anonomousy start marketing a magic cream under a ghost name, or through a trusted third party... not only would I make a mint and ensure my wealht but I'd finally break the unbearable silent secret of all those mysteriousy fair celebs:D

[MAHARANI]

You DO realise that we are all going to hold you to that. And you better not charge ridiculous prices or we will complain on here about you!! LOL :D

[BrownDeceit]

Mine doesn't look like it leaked, it's dry. I don't think it has steroids in it.

I think he or she meant that they have to mix it with steroids to see results. And I don't have to mix mine with anything.

I see. Well, my tret and hq still haven't arrived although they gave me a tracking number and stated that it'll take another week or so for it to arrive. So, I'm going to start using the likas soap and 55h+ tomorrow morning.

Yeah we will hold you to that and hope for some discounted specials... lol. Your like a local celeb already, I remember reading your posts back in 07'. Why the long return and what are you using?

[sagluva]

Where did you order your tret from?

[so sexy]

Yea the secret should be revealed

[Golden_Girl]

I ordered mine from AllDayChemist, really good prices but the shipping is up there. So I ordered several.

[Boricua1]

LOL... aww thanks... well I fell off a bit... I have been using as always the DS papya soaps and the black licorice arbutin soaps but the black soaps are too harsh for the face... only the body. I use the papaya soap on my face.. and I just started again making my own arbutin cream... I had been using a 7% cream.. I made but it didn't really lighten too much... just brightened me and kept me with a glow... I guess.. now I upped the percentage to about 10 maybe 12% but I can't use that on my face cause it breaks me out like mad... but it's OK for the body... only been a couple of weeks... maybe a month of using it, and call me crazy but I feel like it fluctuates where on certain days I am lighter maybe even a little pale and I think... hey it's working.. but then other days I feel like I'm even darker than before... or maybe just dull... I don't know... I exfoliate a lot... and I know my arbutin source is legit... maybe I need something stronger to boost it... but I can' t figure out what... I'm trying to figure out a good percentage kojic lotion to make myself that will not irritate but be effective..

I'm dedeucing that if arbutin is supposed to be anything like Hydroquinone it needs a bit of a helping agent like retin a... but I think retin A actually makes arbutin ineffective not sure... so since I know kojic acid works with arbutin I'm trying to figure out how to make a good strong kojic lotion to use with the arbutin.. . Most on the market are between 2-5% but it seems things on the market are not effective really for my skin tone which is about Gabrielle Union's (which although I guess isn't dark.. it seems to be a super stable and even resistant tone... cause I don't ever really change too much... just brightening a bit... or I get a glow... but I'm trying for Beyonce... (Beyonce.. now... not when she was a bit browner.. )...

So anyway if it works well I'm going to definitely keep you all up to date... but I ordered the 55H+ cristaline and lotion too... so maybe I'm messing with my experiment results.. lol.. either way... I'll keep you all up to date..

[Golden_Girl]

Yeah I remember last yeah seeing maharani, and nikkicute, and you up here and I was like cool, lightening celebs... lol. Where do you get your arbutin from? And did you use the DS black soap? If so, most likely best to get the natual black soap made in west africa that looks like this... should be much more gentle without added ingredients.



But if it's this then it has black dye in it, can be harsh on some skin

[sagluva]

I ordered mine from AllDayChemist, really good prices but the shipping is up there. so i ordered several.

Oh I ordre from there too. Still waiting for my orser to come. I made a mistake and order 0.1% of retin a. scared it will be too strong and peel my face off.

[Golden_Girl]

Well, let me know how t works out and if it feels too strong within a week or 2. I thought of trying the 0.025%, but perfer trying the 0.05% instead since I have used milder exfoliators like the papaya kojic soap and 10% glycolic

[Golden_Girl]

you can order them at

*cough*... no thank you, I'll pass

[jojo9090]

Golden girl, where did you get your 55H+ from? How's it going so far?

[Golden_Girl]

Golden girl, where did you get your 55H+ from? Hows it goin so far?

I got mine from bhb trading. So far OK, I'm just applying it to my neck right now and the hq to my face so that I can equally judge both.

[Karma12]

Usually I notice a bleacher when their hands really bright. Like brighter than their body. That's how I notice when beyonce or rihanna is bleaching. And right now my hands are a shade lighter than my face. So not too noticeable. But if I put my hand up to my face you could tell. I never have a problem with my hands being too dark (thank God), if anything I have a problem with them being too light. For some reason my hands lighten faster than my arms, though I just started applying the Christaline to my arms. They're about half a shade lighter now after two applications. So hopefully I'll see progress if I keep this up! I'm optimistic! :)!

Where did you purchase it from??
I have searched is this the correct spelling of the product and what form does it come in thanks.

[naijachik]

Where did u order hydrogen peroxide? imgorgeous do tell

[MAHARANI]

naijachik, please be careful if you are planning to use HP as part of your lightening regime. It may give some sort of lightening but ultimately it will damage your skin and I would not recommend it. It is a pro-oxidant as opposed to an anti oxidant and is best left alone.
