    Hello Nikkicute,
    You seem very knowledgeable about skincare. I enjoyed reading your posts. I've always wondered how to dissolve or melt Sepiwhite into lotions and creams. How do you melt it and how do you check the Ph?

    Well my funky mmmy kojic acid lotion arrived Friday I took a shower exfoliated well and the lotion is very easy to apply it smells good and you can feel the difference after one use. My skin is very soft! I just hope I start to lighten/whiten soon that will be awesome.

    Buy ph strips you can Google search and buy them of the net, after I messed up my first batch and made it to strong I won't mess with sephi white again until I get the correct ph strips to help guide me and I think you should do the same.

    Who me:confused:
    I've never tried to make a Sepiwhite cream myself, I've always purchased my cream from Fair and Flawless. Lighterrr is the one with the mixing and melting experience.

    Yes I did mix the cream and I made it to strong and I still have the dark skin pathces to prove it, if your going to mix make sure you follow the instructions well and also that you get ph testing strips otherwise you may do more harm than good to yourself or just buy the cream except the cream is kind of expensive in comparission to buying the powder and making the cream yourself

    Hi Fairr. Sepiwhite is known to be a good and safe lightening agent made of natural amino acids. Its also known as "SkinWhite MSH" and "Undecylenoyl phenylalanine" is it's INCI name. It works by counteracting the alpha-MSH and inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, they are responsible for our color. I have also read that with continued use, can make the skin very smooth as it helps remove dead skin cells as well. You can buy it online in a powdered form to mix with your own formulated cream but it must be melted first. It is one of the main active ingredients Fair & Flawless use in their products. But they can be very costly, so by purchasing the raw active is a more affordable. Option You can read more about it here What is it: Sepiwhite

    No prob Fairr, glad I could help.


    Beautifulskin the only one that I have experience using that worked and w/ mostly natural ingredients was the makari night cream. But, they can be costly and gives some people breakouts, but it did lighten my melasma and skin tone overall. So, I'm still searching and testing others so if it works I'll let everyone know.

    Yes I just ordered a sample from makari, but I too plan on ordering the night cream. I also want to try Christaline, which seems to be hard to find. Today I went out and purchased sum things until I make the purchase from makari and christaline

    So sexy are you buying your Christaline at a local store or online?

    Beautifulskin and So sexy remember to test the crème on your skin first to see how your skin will react to it.

    I have googled it and saw some places who are selling it just to check out the product, but I haven't checked the reputations of the companies yet, as you have to be picky with them. I was hoping to see if it was sold at the store sooner or later, cause I can't recall seeing it there before?

    I've called some locals with no results, the only place I've seen that sells it online is Texas beauty... but they seem to be sold out

    GoldenGirl thanks for the advice and I will make sure to do that but, this stuff supposed to be natural so I don't think it will harm my skin. I placed my order for the cream and the gel last night hopefully it will work twice as fast. My friend just raves about it so, hopefully it will work for me. Keep your fingers crossed!!
