I am proud to be black, however, having multicolored, pimple full skin is not very appealing. Going to skin doctors from my experience work for the time you use the products and then you have to continue which is very expensive. I am going to try the godiva products as the claim is it is all natural. If it works I'm sure it would cost less to continue than going to dermatoligist. Maybe you have one toned skin. I have struggled for a long time to look and feel normal. Having to cover up bumps and marks with makeup to give me a more finished look. I hate the make up cause they also break me out. But have not had much success with other products. It gets depressing sometimes but I am one never to give up. So although I am proud to be black I would feel a lot better if I had healthier looking skin. Thanks for your input though.

I have tried almost all Godiva products. I bought a lot & its been more than a month now WITHOUT RESULTS so if you are considering it, good luck to you!

Have been using godiva for about four days now. Really impressed with it's quality, smell and also feels good. Now just have to wait and see if it helps discoloration. Thanks.

I'm glad you got it already. Been emailing you but it keep on failing...

What about the pimples on my back ? I have lots of them and I would like to get rid of them.
Really, what kind of treatment did work for you ?

Yes. Computer not working well. I really like the products. At least I have no unpleasant reaction like the hydroquinone products. I am reading up on the glutathione tablets. I really hope these work. I plan to take some pictures of my hands and face and will take some after using first set of products. I am using them sparingly as containers are small, so I don't know if will be as effective in lightening. My face was burn from use of neoprosone and other creams like lemonvate but I notice the dryness and cracking going. Also bumps minimal right now. Will let you know how things turn out.

I used 55h+ lotion it agrees with my skin but have done little for the knuckles and toes. But my back is acne free with no marks. I am able to wear sleeveless and backouts. They have the soap and serum. I have not found anything bad with this product line like the neoprosone and lemonvate. Even the soap from lemonvate is classified as dangerous. What I have been doing is checking out the products in 55h+ to see side effects. Still cheking them out. I have ordered the godiva products and also dr james glutathione tablets. I like them. Very light, pleasant and pretty packages. You can tell it's all natural however just started so waiting on results for my face and hands. Because of all the information on the dangers of hydroquinone and many other skin care. I think I may stik with godiva. It appears to work slower but it appears safe. Health first. I also use symmetry botanicals which is all natural product. This helps to keep skin healthy but does not lighten skin. Works well for acne though.

Most people have back skin problems for the main reason that the back is one of the hard to reach area if not the hardest. Not a lot of us can brag of having a squeaky clean back after we shower. But here are some tips that could help. Buy those wash cloths usually found in Japanese or Korean stores. They seem rough but it cleans the back real well. Plus, it is quite long so scrubbing your back is a tad easier. Use some medicated soap when scrubbing your back. Those that really remove oil & dirt. And when you are sharing your room with a sister or friend, ask her nicely to put some toner on your back once in a while. This will clean those patches our short hands couldn't reach. If this is so severe, do visit your dermatologist.

I think you should see www.coco-puro.com and try their products. I'm using their products and my skin has become whiter and the pimples are slowly vanishing. I'm using their intensity cream on my back and the kojic acid soap also :)

Thanks dimples. No, its not so severe and you are right: I did not give enough attention to my back. Good idea aboutthose rough wash cloths. I'll try it and let you know how it works. Thanks man.

Be happy with your skin color.

You can do bleaching but be very careful and go to the experts!

You are welcome. Hope it does help. :)

I guess we'll have to wait and see because the results won't be visible so soon even if I use it twice a day until my back turns red.

Tanned skin is hot! But if you want a lighter skin color, I know that Kate Jones Kojic Acid Soap really works well in that area. Good luck!

By the way: how many of you are getting artificially tanned ? I have a very light skin and I would really like to get a little tan, just for the hollidays.. you know ;)

One very safe way to tan would be the use of these self tanning lotions. But do wash your hands afterwards & I suggest you apply it with a sponge. If you want a darker tan, you can just add some more lotion.

There are few brown spots comes out on my neck since last two years and it is spreading now,there is no eching or any other problem.My age is 37 (female). How do I take treatment and precaution.
