Hi. I've been getting a lot of personal message requests in my inbox. A lot of people are asking to see my before and after pictures. I have no problem sharing them, sorry if it has taken me a while to get back to you, don't take it personal. I'm very busy with school and I had to dig up the pictures because I couldn't remember where I saved them. Anyway. Here they are:

I've been lightening since I was around the age of 15. The before picture is of my skin tone from around that age. And the now picture is pretty recent it's of when I was 20 (I JUST turned 21. YAY!). Keep in mind that I've used several different lightening products in between now and then. I can NOT attribute ALL of my skin lightening success to Christaline. Although Christaline did lighten me 3 or 4 shades. I am actually not as light as I am in that picture at the moment. I've stopped using the Christaline as frequently. I'm not aiming for an extremely light skin tone. I actually think that skin tones with the bronze glow are the prettiest. Like the shade of the young lady in the picture below:

I've darkened about one shade from what I was in that after picture. And I LOVE it. I was thinking about going a little bit lighter again. But I think I'm going to stay around this color. I like it because it makes me look more racially ambiguous because I don't have typical African facial features so people guess my race and the golden glow makes it even better! And I've just found a product from MAC that is very light weight and sheer and it gives me this really natural glow so I'm pretty happy right now!

No. I do not work for 55 H+ The Christaline is working for quite a few people but it won't work for everyone. Some people are experiencing break outs from it. Surprisingly I'm not (unless I sleep with it on my face and use a LOT). I will say it is DEFINITELY a greasy product. So if you are acne prone. It's NOT for you. I hope this answers a lot of your questions. And again don't expect for a product to work over night... I THINK you're supposed to give it at least 20 days... But I saw results after my second day of using it. But that's just me. My skin is different from the next persons. HQ doesn't work on my skin. All right... I tried to answer everyone's questions. But if I didn't answer yours don't be shy to post a question below. Just try and make sure it's a question that is not already answered in another thread, because I hate that. I think it's annoying. And I WILL ignore you. Don't be lazy. Look around first, chances are your question may already be answered. But otherwise. I don't mind, and I'll try my hardest to get back to you all as quickly as possible.

I hope this doesn't seem like a dumb question to you ,but which pic is your after? Is it the 1st one that shows a lighter shade? Is that you in the pic below?

RedBonewnnagrl · Oct 7, 2009, 05:35 AM

Also I am not one of those lazy people. I am one of those people that does as much research as possible and I have almost searched all of these threads going all the way back to 2000. I am kind of a skin lightening geek ,LOL. Anyway I was thinking about purchasing RosanceX18. Do think I should? I am asking for your opinion because I don't have that much experience. My skin lightens pretty easily ,but so far the only products that I have tried are Crusader (its in a green and red box),Bio Claire(made me lighter in 5 days then on day 8 gave me very bad bumps that were all over my face and upper body).Now I use nothing because I had to recover.But my face has cleared up since then after I purchased this 19 dollar derma 36 Oxygen Infusion Cell Rejuvenation Kit. That got rid of the marks on my face to my surprise. I am not that dark I am like actress Essence Atkins complexion.

It's not a dumb question but read everything I wrote and you can answer your own question.

BrownDeceit · Oct 7, 2009, 05:37 AM

I've never used any of the products you've mentioned. So I couldn't help you with those questions.

Wow, that's a huge difference, Brown... Congrats!!

The cristaline seems to have worked pretty well for you... I've only started using it a few days ago but the stickiness is kind of off-putting... :(

Nice I love the tone in the very first pic
