    Skin Lightening Creams
    I have pigmentation and freckles from over exposure to the sun. I was told about Dr Palmer's skin lightening cream and also read an article on Extreme lightening cream. I am a white middle aged lady and would like to know whether other people have used any of these or other creams successfully. Thanks ever so much

    Being outside in the sun may help cause freckles or make them darker. Sunlight increases freckle pigmentation. To minimize freckles, use a sunscreen daily. Over-the-counter bleaching creams will also help. With the use of Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Vitamin C, the skin's tone, texture and clarity can be restored. If additional correction is desired, the skin can be treated with a light chemical peel, which will further stimulate and correct the skin.

    Makari is by far the best. I have been using the day whitening cream and its excellent. Works so fast. Word of advice, try find a black beauty store or eBay to buy it because buying from the website takes ages to ship the product to you and the postage cost is so expensive. They must use the lowest cost shipping service but charge the price for the highest one! Their stuff works though!

    Hello,

    I have wriiten some posts before on this subject. I got three emails from people I supplied my information with. There are two products you need to get for hand and face. One is glycolic acid cream (10%) also kojic acid. The Kojic acid can be founf in Palmers Skin Success Section. It will be in a box and it will state ON THE COVER that it has KOJIC acid. Do not use just any Palmers/Skin Success most of them have just hydroquinone. You need hydroquinone but in conjunction with kojic acid to speed up result. My results have been amazing for achieving an even tone. For two months I used kojic acid alone, and saw good results. (Mind you, this was on my face not hand, but skin is skin). For 3 days I have been doing the opjic regimine WITH the glycolic cream 10%. AMAZING RESULTS! Freaking amazing. My skin is so smooth. The glycolic acid sloshes off dead skin cells at amout 25% faster than normal rate! Skin cells usually flake off about once every 27-28 days. You will peel slightly but it will reveal younger, more radiant skin. Trust me.

    Products I use:

    Glycolic Acid Cream- 10%- from GNC or Amazon.com. I wnt list the product because I have tried several and as long as you get 10% or higher it will work, regardles of carrier. If you are intereseted in who I use: here you go: Reviva. It is strong so go lightly at first. YOU DO NOT WAS OFF! Just rub in.

    Kojic Acid: Palmers Skin Success from Walmart

    Here is my regimen. Morning and Night.

    Wash face with Clean and Clear Blackhead Removal Wash
    Rub in glycolic acid (lightly... it make take 1-4 days for skin to get used to strength)
    Wait 2-3 minutes
    Rub in Kojic Acid
    It will definitely tingle and sting, but a dermatologist told me that the acid is penetating the layers of skin cells and "ungluing" the cells, allowing them to lift off.

    PLEASE TRY THIS ONCE LADIES, you will love yourselves and your beautiful skin.

    Seriously

    I used to use Doctor Palmer's it does work very well but, it is kind of greasy though. If you're going to use it on your face it may cause pimples if you don't wash your face thoroughly and use some kind of toner to remove all the excess oil.
