    Free of HQ but what exactly does it contain to give such effective lightening. I know I have said it before, but you should use this product with caution. It definitely lightens but it definitely thins the skin and can create all sorts of problems.

    Well thank you for your advice, so far I havent't had any negative results besides the dry skin, which is all apart of the lightening process, if I do have problems I will make sure to make my skin relaz for a little! Did u have a negative experience with bioclaire? If so which of the products did u use and how did u go about using them, also how long?


    Thanks for your time

    I was using the lotion in the tall tube. As I said I definitely lightened with BC, but I had thinning at the back of my knees, where you could clearly see my veins and the area would become quite tender. I reduced the usage to a few days a week rather than every day and it helped, but I really wasn't happy to continue using it long term.

    I don't think bio claire has hydroquinone, why? Simple becos its too effective to have hydroquinone, Hydroquinone, even at some high doses is not that effective on black skin, maybe BC has some form of it mixed with steroids or something.
    I would advice that bio claire be used at full strength, that is 2 to 3 times a day till you achieve your desired complexion, then stop it, you can then occasionally start using the oil alone with probably some natural product to maintain that complexion that bio claire has given you. Its very important to exfoliate with bio claire, as you can see I am complaining of being depigged becos of how light bio claire and glycolic acid has gotten me, I have not used sunblock for over 3 week, I live in Cali, and there has been no change in my complexion. However, I also take glutathion enhancers and 10,000mg msm daily so this might have something to do with it.

    Oh yes, I am in the stage where I am starting to get the veiny look. I am going to take a break soon, I just started switching off from the lotion tube/creme oil mix from day to night (since the crème mix is far too strong smelling for me to continue wearing during the day). So what do you use now ? Are you getting results?

    Please let me know!

    It's def the Glut. Pills! Bio claire prob. Lightened you but the pills, def are helping maintain! But def. Get on wearing sunblock everyday ! Its very important, esp. if you live in sunny California. Rays are harmful, but I am sure you know that :p

    Currently I am not using anything on the body. I am just concentrating on my face, where I am using Makari and Fair & flawless. And occasionally retin A.
