    I used the Super Strength skin lightening cream and it worked out pretty well, I'd say about two shades lighter. The first jar I bought from eBay and next jar I called the store in the Bronx? Somewhere in New York, they also have a website.

    This cream has a lot of imitations/copy cats so I would only purchase if it came from New York. I think this product has high concentrations of hydroquinone.

    African Queen Inc

    I know it's more than the standard 2%.
    I once purchased I think is was the Rita Cream?
    Rita for dark hands and feet.

    I opened up the jar while still in my car, I took one whiff to see how the cream smelled, luckily I was at the red light. My head whipped back so fast! Lol Oh my goodness did this cream just burn my nose off? It had a really, really STRONG smell.

    It smelled like the Melalite 4%hq cream but 50 times stronger! I could have hit someone if I was driving. Lol It was a off white cream with small black dots of something, it sort of looked like vanilla bean ice cream. Who knows how much hydroquinone and what else was in it.

    I didn't you use, I chickened out and threw it away. Lol

    Do you think they use more than 4% hq? And I wonder what caused the black dots, weird?

    I remember a member mentioning that the African Queen products smelled soooo great :confused:

    I think I mentioned it, the SuperStrength Cream smelled real good.
    I just started using the 4%hq Melalite with Retin A and noticed the smell, it's a bit tangy and that's what the Rita Cream smelled like but way stronger.
    I ordered that cream years ago!!

    There just might be more than 4% in the cream, it sure did smell like it.

    With Bio Claire, the smell was very strong when I opened it. BC smells like what it is, toxic.

    The bioclaire that I used had almost no order and did absolutely nothing for me. I had the body lotion and crème.

    My guess is that yours could have been really outdated and became ineffectivesince BC has a very strong and distinct odor, which is a positive.

    Does the gel cause breakouts? I have acne prone skin so I'm very scared about what I put on my face.

    That's messed up! So, what color is it supposed to be? Mine was pure white. I think it was a FAKE!

    Mine was white too. I nolonger use BC, the threads posted here about it and it being banned in different countries was enough for me to trash it.
