Look around on the forum and read different posts. I'm sure you'll come up with a suitable solution for yourself. But be careful. A lot of these products are harmful. And be prepared for backlash. To get to the desire color I want, it took me 6 years and I went through acne breakouts while testing and trying different products until I found what was right for my skin.

Hi luckygirl! I don't know what skin type you are but I'm asian and I have freckles and my skin tone isn't very even. I was trying everything I could (money wise) and then I found Laneige white plus renew. I was skeptical at first but now that I have used it for a year it has worked wonders on me! Its not something that will work over night and it does take time but after about a week of using it, it lightened my freckles and with a little blush you can't even tell I have freckles unless you stand right in front of me. I ordered a few extras to stock up and if you want to try it I can sell you one of my extras. Or you can look on eBay if you like. I'm not here to sell but just here to spread the word because it really has helped me. Email me if you have questions or comment me back here. [email protected] good luck and hope you find something to work for you too.

My only success came from bio claire and makari night cream. Bio claire is much more cheaper but only worked for my face, and the size is good. But I read a lot of info stating that it has hq and steroids in it. I don't know but it does smell strong and can thin the skin. But for my face it lightened me about 3 shades, but you have to consistently use is it or you can redarken really quick, I did anyway.

Makari night cream or the day cream are good, but the night cream is larger but oilier than the day. The caviar cream can mak your skin break out because its mainly made for much older people or those with really dry skin, but I did use it on my hands. But makari is too expensive and I think they should come down on the price. I don't know any others that work well so I am searching for others that are affordable.

I am seeing results after one month of the funky mommy glutathione/kojic acid soap, which I am now using twice a day, fifty second lather in the morning, eighty at night. And 2%hq before bed. I've been using the hq for about two weeks. It says to use twice a day but I use it once

Golden_Girl · Jul 27, 2009, 12:37 PM

I heard of Funky Mommy's soaps before. So they really work? How many shades lighter did you become so far? Did you buy your hq from a manufacturer?

eremesu · Jul 27, 2009, 06:38 PM

I don't know about shades, but after I washed my face and neck, arms, with the soap, lathered for eighty seconds I noticed some more paleness and my nose was much paler and I could see pinkness. I will take a photo when I see more results. And I will see more results. If I have to up the duration or frequency.
I chose the soap because it has two ingredients. Plus lactic acid, so three. I like to use several paths to get to the same goal.
The hq I use is just something I got off Amazon. I am not into brands very much, I am more concerned about ingredients

Golden_Girl · Aug 1, 2009, 01:01 PM

I agree, ingredients and their amounts are the main importance. Have you seen more lightening? When you do please post.

eremesu · Aug 2, 2009, 09:38 AM

Well I think I see more lightening. I'd put a picture up now except I know that nobody else would see a difference. Different lighting everywhere, etc

Hi.
I have also been using kojic 4 in 1 soap for about a week now. It has made my skin really dry. I don't know if my skin is getting light or not. I apply it 5 to 8 minutes twice everyday . I burned a lot when I started using it first but now it doesn`t burn that bad.
I would love to hear about your lightening progress because I almost feel like giving up now.

Those products you are using will cause thinning of skin , it usually works the few years such that you would have a soff,silk 4shades ligher tone then in the long run like 3 years down the line you will have raised bumps pimples and darkenesd skin around your eye such that u will luk like an old lady even if you are in your 20s... above all you have high risk of cancer which if you are a girl might cause danger to your baby .even your cheeks wiill become RED like someone who have been burned also your mouth lips become chapped ,rough and black

Don't use bio claire and carol light there all claim to have bearberry extracts but have you wonder why thety are not regestered as standardised creams to use... because they contain harmful ingredients that affect the skin permanently but if you stop using it early you can reverse the effect
