    It is possible to bleach our skin but yo uneed to be very very careful. I recommend be happy with the skin color you were born with.

    Try godiva skin whitening products... you can have results oin just 7 days... you will see difference... its safe since it is made from licorice... I am selling it but it would be much cheaper if you have the product in your country since mine would include shipping and handling fees... but it does work for me...

    ---

    What is licorice?
    Licorice is a plant native to parts of Europe and China. Its root extract has been used for hundreds of years, as tea and as flavoring.

    How was licorice discovered for skin whitening?
    In the early '90s, Japanese scientists isolated certain compounds in licorice useful for skin care. Glabridin was identified as a powerful skin whitening ingredient, glabrene as an anti-oxidant as strong as natural Vitamin E, and licochalcone as highly effective anti-acne ingredient which controls sebum production and wipes away bacteria. Licochalcone is also a mild sunscreen effective against the UVA & UVB rays of the sun.

    How does licorice whiten skin?
    How does licorice whiten skin? The glabridin in licorice whitens by suppressing the formation of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin discoloration. Over time, the old layer of the pigmented skin is replaced by whiter, creamier skin.

    Tried many skin creams
    :confused: I am dark skinned probably like vonzell on american idol. I've tried everything for my skin discolorations. Nothing seems to work. I am looking 4 something natural without harmful chemicals. Don't have a lot of money for the expensive brands. The creams and lotions I use clear my face but don't move acne marks. Also leave my knuckles and toes black. I don't have a problem being black - just black, brown and pimpled mixed.

    lolundefined

    Please help!!

    I really think that GODIVA will work for that but using it may also whiten your complexion... godiva is natural and safe to use for a long term it is food based... if you don't have a lot of money then look for this brand in your country this brand doesn't indorse itself much on TV and ad. But then maybe you does have that in oyur country. Because shipping and handling that is added to the product price really do cost a lot too... I actaully don't know what products you have in your country but I advice that don't try a product because the seller said it is good... try looking at its content and look for the internet if it does have bad effects... make a thorough research first or maybe tell me the product you think you like and we will see about it and ask our fellows here... and when you finally agreed that you like it make a spot test on your arms to see if you got any allergies...

    Thank you
    I appreciate the information. I have been searching web all day and reading the replies in the forum. I like what I read about godiva and would like to try them and/ the skin whitening tablets. I'm desperate cause it's embarrassing to wear sandals or to shake someone's hand. I have to wear face powder to blend acne marks on my face. Don't think I can find them in my area. Need an inexpensive supplier. Or someone in Florida. If not I will have to cover costs for shipping from wherever. Where is godiva from anyway?

    Godiva is from the philippines... and I have heard that it does have in the US maybe then on limited outlets... I have tried it and it worked for me... for some reasons that I don't know someone from the thread claim that it did not worked for him... so I suggest that if you get to see... buy the small packages and see if you get results in 7 days as what Godiva is claiming.. having results in 7 days... but as far I am concern it did work for me very well. And as we all know different types of skin has different type of reaction to creams put into it...

    You should also consider trying the original amira magic cream and soap... it does work wonder too and so far I haven't read anything that claim not to have good result on it... unless they got to buy the fake one.

    When you opt to buy this these are few things that you need to consider too...

    Its is said to be from KSA because the product INGREDIENTS are all from KSA while it is manufactured here at the philippines too... then

    If you get to hear that it contain mercury it is because trhe one that contai mercury are the fake ones and the ORIGINAL doesn't have

    And using it you have to use it for 3 weeks then rest your skin for another week before continuing it again until desired results are achieved since the one week rest will give your skin time to renew.

    If you do not get to have any supplier and finally decided to get the product online... I would like you to consider me as one of your supplier... thnak you...

    Black and proud
    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!

    Good to hear from 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.

    Hi there
    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 :)

    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.
