    Hi Flickka
    I am using F&W alone. I really want to try Retin a... I hear so many good reviews.Never used it before.Some time soon,I will.
    I bought Makari from their site.But when I was in my country,I could just get it from the pharmacy.

    I don't know how 2010 you would consider this but when I had problems lightening my feet, as a strange as this may sound a Jamaican friend of mine told me to use the wrap method because it promotes absorption. And it really did work.

    Since you're trying to lighten your knuckles and toes you'll need 4 plastic shopping bags, your choice of product, a pair of thick gloves and thick ankle socks. Before you go to sleep at night, apply the product to your hands and feet. Put each of your feet and each of your hands into a plastic bag. Put the ankle socks and gloves over the bags.

    Not gonna lie, the first night its extremely uncomfortable...but if you stick it out, you'll get results. I saw results in about 2 weeks.
    Totally agree make your skin smooth soft and glowing. Done that

    Oh, 2 creams actually.
    1. Glycrien + rose water + lemon few drops
    2. Vaselline.

    Any one will work.

    Girl... F$W works well for me!
    When I began,I put my foot into the bag and tied around my ankle.Then later... my feet were the way I wanted them to be... my toes got fairer too... but they still needed lightening.So I tie them all together half way... You MUST see results!

    Yes.I mix the lotion and serum in my hands and rub on my feet very well morning and evening.Then I use 55h+ on my toes.I wrap for as long as I am at home.Meaning if I am home for 24h,da plastic will be on... then off when I want to shower.

    Thanks for answering my questions trust me I really appreciate it because a lot of people at my uni ask me why my nuckles are so blak in comparison to da rest of my body even my aunts ask me aswel its so embarrasin. I've tried so many things for my knuckles I tried skin light (with ornage lid), 55h+ efficacite extreme body lotion which made me really dark and made my knuckles darker. Which 55h+ do you use?

    You are welcome girl.
    I use the strong bleaching cream in the tube.
    This knuckle issue is a hard thing to crack.
    Some people actaully have pretty dark knuckles.But when you use lightening creams... it just highlights it in a way... It can be very frustrating and it takes a lot of time to treat.
    I forgot to tell you... I use a glycolic acid peel from time to time.It help exfoliate the skin faster.

    Yeah I've just recently found out about acid peels, here's a link to a thread where someone got instant results in days, her name is bryter

    yeah...it's been a while... - Page 2 - Skin Lightening - Skin Care Talk

    Tell me what you think and if you think its safe to do what she did. Also where did you purchase you glycolic acid peel from aand what percentage is it?

    I could not see it...
    But what I do is apply my acid and wash it off after like 3 minutes... but for the face... I leave it for 60secs!not more... the skin on the face and that of the toes is totally different!
