Hum. Skin "Bleaching" That's Effective
Hey guys... I am new to this forum and I love it!
I wanted to know what is the best lotion to use in order to get a few shades lighter... I am medium dark but I want a complexion like Ciara's. What is the best lotion to use WITHOUT HYDROQUINONE!! That can make my skin lighter?
I would very much appreciate your suggestions... thanks

Ok! Welcome Mocha!
I suggest you get some RETIN A for your skin to absorb better.
Also if you got pimples or dark spots it's the bomb.It made my skin flowless in a month.
For lightening(without hq) I suggest fair and white exclusive gel contains kojic acid it is great.Stay away from steroids also...

Retin-A I believe is a prescription. Fair and white is out of my budget @ this moment... lol
Any other products work as well?

The one I have has no HQ listed on the box I believe it contains Kojic Acid and AHA. HQ is not working well on me( I bought 4% HQ from ADC) so I don't think this one contains HQ plus the color doesn't change after a while like it gets orange or brown... I'm happy with it.Don't buy it if you don't want it.
BTW I'm a med student and HQ is not as dangerous as you seem to think.

There it is.I only use the gel.

I think HQ does have a bad rep because people abuse it in waaaay tor strong formulas mixed with other agents. I believe that it's completely safe if used for less than 6 months, otherwise there would be a lot of lawsuits if products that are sold in reputable stores such as walmart, macy's etc... For people who have hard to lighten skin (as I do) or want really quick results and have tried other products unsuccessfully, I would suggest using it for the time sugessted on the product and then use something without it to maintain your results for a while. Honestly, it shouldn't even take six months. I've been using Nadinola with fair and white exfoiliating soap for 2 months now and have lightened like 3 shades. I wish I could post a photo, but my stupid computer doesn't recognize my digital camera, and I can't find the driver for it. If anyone knows where I can download the driver for a kodak L200 Digital camera, I'll be glad to post my photos.

Yeah I know what you mena... iveused Hydroquinone before and its in the Caro light cream I use now. Its not dangerous if you used it 6month or less that's true BUT to maintain the light color you achieved u HAVE to continue using it and that's where you have problems because then you past the 6month time limit.. u know what I mean.. I wish it wasn't so though... I just ordered 55H crystilline... well see how that goes.. it doesn't have HQ

Yeah I have the efficacite exceptionelle from 55h+ and I'm going to buy the 55H+ Cristalline as well... maybe even mix it together for a less thick formula.
55h+ isn't sticky to me as most people might say and the efficacite exceptionelle's smell is lightly fragant... the only 55h+ product I don't recommend is citron argume... that sh!t stinks!! Lol

Yes I received it on Monday ( it took forever.. I had to call them up and all lol). The problem with it is that its sticky but I have sensitive skin and it hasn't made me break out so far. So that's good. The crystaline absorbs well after a few minutes. I use the cream gel from the same line right after the crystaline is absorbed. Well its too soon to tell its only been like 3nights of use... I think I will know more by the end of next week so it would be at least 2 weeks. If I see results any earlier, I'll let you know. I like the smell of crystalline... doesnt smell all medicated but the cream gel does.. but oh well... as long as it works.

If your skin isn't too sensitive you can start with 0,5% that's what I did and I have nothing but good things to say about this product.:)
