Peace! :)

    Hi, are you saying u are getting darker after not using bio claire, how long did u stop using when u noticed this. I don't want to use this forever, its working well but I want to be able to stop

    Hi Lotti!
    I have skin darkening problem in certain areas like stomach, neck,feet , underarms,which happened after my pregnancy I have tried south beach lightening cream but it was very small tube and expensive too and I couldn't use on all areas so I searched for pills and cudn't take decision bcoz there are so many but don't know which one really wroks then I sign up here to ask question then read your question and as you said you asked so many dr.s but no one really knows and also they didn't help u , and now you are taking L-glutathion pills then I searched those pills and found same pills on sale too but now I'm afraid if they are real or fake I don't know , and also I asked in walgreens they don't have those pills , can you please help me how can I get those pills in USA? And also wondering as you guys were discusing for "KUZAMI" what is that? And how would I know that pills are not from kuzami?
    Thanks and waiting for your reply anxiously!

    Hello!

    The White Lucent line by Shiseido works, as well as taking L-glutathion. The only thing, when taking the L-Glute pills, you need to take double the recommended dose (I think you have to take about 4-5 pills a day). Don't worry about having any side effects. L-glutathion pretty much just cleans out your liver and boosts your immune system... I've been doing both for some time now and it's kept my skin very fair. If you live in the States, you can buy L-glutathion from Whole Foods. Well, hope I've helped :)

    Why are people still talking about these pills. So many people have tried them and they don't work. Plus it seems like they don't work on dark people.

I stop using bio claire on the part that are light so the rest of my body could catch up... my a chemical peel will have to the process don't know but I'm thinking about cause this is ridiculous what's happening

I'm going to keep my hands cover with make up until my knuckles and fingers evens out with the rest of my hands... my legs have lighten very well even my knee caps lighten I was so surprise at how well they lighten cause they are the darkest and elbow lighten well my stomach lighten well too... just my feets and hands giving me problems...

    That's good to know. I'm going to start using the soap and the oil alone as soon as my lotion finishes. When I use the soap to shower I notice that the dryness that the oil usually carry no longer happens. My skin feels fine after using the oil alone so Im going to try that.

    That's cool... I'm wondering if I use a chemical peel on my feets and hands would it speed up the lightening effect since bio claire cause my skin to dry up and peel off after the dead skin came off my skin became lighter my arms lighten up really well... I read somewhere on some site about chemical peels making people skin lighter referring to people of color... saying sometime about not recommending people of color to use it cause it make your skin lighter.. I was like well maybe those people want there skin lighter LOL...

    I hear you!. I been driving to work and the sun has been getting on my face and hands I notice the next day getting ready for work my I notice from my eyebrow on down my face slightly darker and my hand got slightly I was like oh my goodness!. I so I started putting on a hat and trying to cover the side of my face so the sun can't beam on me. And I wear glove while driving. On Friday at work some spanish guy ask me to go hang with him outside cause wanted to get some rays... I was like hell no I'm not going out there.

    MY feet are getting better looking by the day.. my feets are al most completely light just my toes got a little longer to go. My hands the fingers are started to lighten but I still got while to go I came this far I can't give up now... I still have to put makeup on my hands to cover up the uneveness sometime days I forget to cover my hand some people see my hands and make funny faces but I don't give hell... but my hands are definitely starting to even out... my legs about 90% completely light just the back of both calves are still kind of dark but the front parts are completely light... I no longer use hydroquinone on my face the bio claire had kept my face light.. I am happy about that cause I was worry I will get dark again after I had stop using hydroquinone. I was using hydroquinone 10% the strongest they have it work wonders on me. But it cause me 65.oo dollar a tube. But it works well... but any way I'm still working on my hands and feets it just going to take a little while longer. Still haven't try the chemical peels yet I'm search for the right one. I look at a website similar to this one reading about people who have used chemical peels this one lady who use TCA 50% said her skin got really dark after using that chemical peel and she said she was getting married with in two weeks and wanted to look really good asking people what can I do omg what I'm I going do my arms are really dark help. I was like oh no.. I'm afraid to use TCA now... :eek:

    I just posted this in another forum... but for all of you still looking for that one skin lightner please read my post below:



    I found the product that works for me! I've been searching for about two years now for a product that worked for me! Countless hours searching through forums like this and doing my own research on chemicals. I hope all you ladies are reading this... because this product really does work. I've been using it for about a month now and already seeing my skin lighten by 2 shades. I paid around $200 for this... but I got a huge set of the product. The main ingredient in the lotion is Kojic acid, licorice, ascorbic acid (vitamin etc.). The lady selling this product has been selling it for years on eBay and has hundreds of repeat customers. Please let me know if you need more information or pictures of myself before and after.

    I've tried it all from skin whitening pills to "body bleach" and have seen little to no results. I was skeptical about trying this product but I'm glad I did because the skin on my face peeled within two days of using the lotion and black soap together.

    Just in case you're wondering I am Black and Native Alaskan, but if you saw me you wouldn't know I was native with the exception of my hair... I have always had uneven skin tones... but this lotion and face creame has even my skin toned dramatically and unexpectedly lightened my face by two shades (back to the color of my scalp!) I'm posting this message because this product works and I'm glad to share it with you. I'll be happy to provide more information...


    Thanks,

    You Can't Lighten Your Skin By Using Glutathione In Pill Form!!
    Glutathione Is An Super Antioxidant, And Helps With Many Areas Of Just General Overall Health, And Yeah You Can Obtain A "brighter Skin Complexion", But Not Lighter! The Problem With That , (the Glutathione) Is It (the Pill) Absorbs In Your Gastrional Tract, (your Stomach Acids )before It Can Hit Your Blood, So With The Pills... you Are Wasting Your Money! Now You Can Get Them In Tablet Form, Where They Witll Absorb In Your Mouth(between Your Teeh And Cheek) But That Would Not Make An Huge Difference In Your Skin! You See, The Glutathione Is Already Produced In Our Body, And It Works With The Immune System And Aids In Other Vitamins You Take, Like Vita. A ,c,e,d, And K,so To Get The "effect ", Of Gluta's Skin "brightening", Abilities, You Would Have To Take It With The Following Of The Mentioned Above(vitamins), And A Couple More,--which Is Not Such A Bad Thing, We Need Vitamins, But Gluta Along Won't Do It!you Need To Get It By I.v, Through Injections ,so It Can Go Tio Your Blood Line And That Is When It Would Have An Good Deal Of An Effect, Of Some Skin Brightening, But You Would Have To Maintain It, Meaning Getting It Done Like Every Month, And At A Hefty Price! Google Glutathione And What It Does For Your Skin, It May Not "say', Skin 'lightening", But The Power Of Healthy Vitamins, You Never Know!!
    Hope This Explains It , If You Want To Talk Further About This And Other Ways To Lighten , Contact Me! Good Day!!

I've been so busy with college graduation etc. Anyhoo the product I have been using I ordered from eBay. It's a product used in the Phillipenes and is by a woman (singer/model) named Viki Belo. The product is usually provided by perscription in the Philipenes, but not over here. My face started sheding its old skin within the first three days... which is unusual because skin normally takes 45 days. You can read about it more here at this link where I won this auction at. If you have any questions let me know...

    By the way,I agree on the potential danger of the high dosages recommended here. Haven't you heard of 'everything in moderation'? That includes 'healthy' things.Things always show up as problems a while later...

    Here's some skin lightening facts.

    The presence of hydroquinone and mercury in skin whitening products can severely damage skin, worse, can cause skin cancer. Still, there are sites online that sell skin lighteners with these ingredients. Safe natural skin whitening ingredients such as papain enzymes, kojic acid and licorice extract are the ingredients to look for.

    Unfortunately, some skin lightening products are of commercial grade, wherein the potency or efficiency is much less so results are not seen soon as expected. It is important that the promise is always delivered by products that work safe and fast. .

    The key to successful skin whitening is maintenance. As a user of Dermaline (not to be confused with Dominican Republic products that contain mercury) skin lightening products, I've found out that a good sunscreen and your favorite moisturizers work wonderfully with this regimen. Dermaline has been tested and has satisfied a lot of users for men and women of color. Oh and another tip - take 500 mg. Vit. C with it to get the best results.

    As a last note, I've read and heard people misjudging those who wanted to lighten their skin. There is absolutely nothing wrong with desiring for a fairer skin, much as one aims for a tanned skin. Personal reasons may be for a higher self-esteem, a job requirement, or correcting skin problems. The results may differ, but the objectives all point to how feeling good inside and out is achieved.
