I agree. Best to talk with the doc and see what they suggest. I only want to take enough to have nice clear skin and any other benefits.

How is the 55H+ lightening coming along Brown?

[Itss A New Day]

I haven't seen any results yet with the Crystalline and Im getting antsy, and thinking maybe its not strong enough for me... Im still sticking it through at least until I get my new products in the mail. So discouraged right now =-(

How many days have you been using it?

[dessaml]

How many days have you been using it?

Wasn't Brown putting it on like 2 or 3xs a day though?:confused:

[Golden_Girl]

I don't know. I'll have to ask her. So many posts and products being posted I forget.

[Itss A New Day]

How many days have you been using it?

Im embarrassed to say a little over a week collectively... but see I know when something's working because even within a week I see inklings of microscopic spots that have lightened on my skin, you know what I mean? Like take the Bio Claire, within a week I saw even the slightest of results, even if I had to squint to see it. So its like I know I should be patient but at the same time I know my skin and maybe this isn't potent enough for what Im trying to do... and it would suck to wait a month down the line and see zero results. I don't know... is it just me or has no one updated with their Crystalline progress lately? Is anyone still using?

It's a New Day, I know you want to see results now as I can also be impatient at times. But one week is very little to do it justice. It takes 28 days to have a skin cell turnover and really see results. I don't know how this will work on lightening for you, only time will tell. But to truly know it's best to give it 4 weeks. And also continue to exfoliate and use high spf sunblock. That's the best way to know if it works for you or not.

Bio Clair is a different story and that was an artificial lightening with the use of large doses of steroids. Steroids can lighten very quickly also because it thins the skin, making it practically transparent. So I wouldn't consider them a true skin lightener and x them out. That's my advice anyway.

[Itss A New Day]

28 days? Wow. Great. Lol. 3 more weeks to go then I guess. Thanks for the heads up. You're right, comparing Bio Claire to non deadly products is like comparing apples and oranges of course.

[BrownDeceit]

I never put it on more than twice a day in most cases if even that. I was putting it on EVERYDAY though. And I had to slow down because I was looking way too light.

Maharani I'll still update until I stop using no problem

Brown Deceit it's a bit difficult to apply this more than once a day for me because it's so darn sticky and I feel like I have a coating of molasses sitting on my skin especially after applying the lotion on top, but I'm still hanging in there and did I mention how jealous I was of your quick results?:)

[Golden_Girl]

Oh that sounds nice... well I'm ordering mine tonight or by tomorrow morning, I have my list of what all to get. After I order I'll post it on a thread.

[Golden_Girl]

Lol... oh I didn't mean the molasses sticky part, that would be uncomfortable. I meant Brown's comment on how light it was lightening.

Lol. I was reading it like "huh?" with big question marks in my head, but I eventually figured the comment was for someone else lol

Hi guys... im new to this crystalline thing and have no idea about it... can you please tell me that where can I buy it and how safe is it to use ? Is there any side effects of this ? I have an indian skin and using likas right now which has helped me 1-2 tones and using kojic acid for my face which is maintaining my tone... but I am eager to use this as this does sound promising... please help.

[BrownDeceit]

I'm sorry it's not working as quickly for you. :(

[so sexy]

Oh wow one person didn't get results after using it for most likely less than 20 days (the recommended minimum period on the package) and suddenly it's a product that's not effective. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't jump to conclusions, people. Of course it won't work for everyone probably, but for some people it's obviously been working.

Omg I agee,

[Golden_Girl]

I agree too, good to give it required time to see if it's effective for your skin. And everyone's skin is different, what works for some may not work for others.

hi guys ....im new to this crystalline thing and have no idea bout it ...can you please tell me that where can i buy it and how safe is it to use ? is there any side effects of this ? i have an indian skin and using likas right now which has helped me 1-2 tones and using kojic acid for my face which is maintaining my tone ....but i am eager to use this as this does sound promising .....please help.

Desikudi glad to hear the Likas soap has been working well for you. It is known to be more of a gentle product, you'll have to try it to see how it works for you.

[so sexy]

Yea the Likas is good

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.

Where did you get the TRILUMA? Do they sell it in the beauty supply stores?

[Boricua1]

Oh that sounds nice...well I'm ordering mine tonight or by tomorrow morning, I have my list of what all to get. After I order I'll post it on a thread.

I ordered on Friday and I hate when I have to wait the whole weekened to get something in the mail... today I'm looking for that little post slip in my box LOL... :D I'm just a bit worried about the whole sticky skin thing LOL... and I can imagine it will bbuild up if I'm using my own homemade arbutin cream too...
