Ask Me Help Desk - Do Skin Lightening Pills actually work?

OK here my June update of bio-claire my feet are almost completely light except for the edges of the side of my feet guest I'm going to have to wait a little bit longer.. I used a chemical peel called glycolic Acid 50%. To try help speed up the lightning process it did help some but I'm thinking of using stonger chemical peel of glycolic acid. My whole body has lighten up including my stomach knees the knee cap I thought it would take forever but didn't my whole leg is light skin... but I am noticing that my arms has darken a little bit which is weird.. when I used hydroquinone I stay the same light complexion but with bio-claire my arms got light very light now its weird.. thatI got a shade darker I haven't been in the sun and I'm still using bio-claire.. maybe its getting darker because the top layer of skin about to peel off again.. cause that's what happen the first time I use bio-claire back in December 2006. My skin got dark than it peel off and light skin was underneath. So I'm hope that's what's happening again...

Any way I haven't seen any other bio- claire user on here lately.. where did you guys go?

Hey! Im still here, Ive been lazy with the skin lighting with bio clair. But it did work for me. Im in the sun a lot and it hasn't done that much to darken me. I love it and I'll probably go back on it in the winter.

I have been taking skin whitening pills for almost a year. I've been taking it since September 06. With all the pills, skin whitening lotion and soap. I have gotten 4-5 shades lighter. It takes patience and a lot of money. But I guarantee it does work. The best type of vitamin C to take is called ESTER-C. it was recommended by the dermatologist that I bought my whitening pills from. Good luck to everyone!

Am using diamond whitening pills for a few weekz now! So far my skin looks a little brighter! Which ones are u using miss_understood?

Hey shory00,

I was wondering what happen to all the bio-claire users...

So your saying when you stop using bio-claire your complexion stay the same? I haven't stop using it... cause I'm afraid I would go back dark like how hydroquinone does cause if you stop using hydroquinone you get dark again so that would be good to know that when you stop using bio-claire your complexion would stay the same for a long period.

Is that true you you been in the sun a lot and the sun didn't tan your skin? I avoid the sun as much as I can..

I have been using glutathione pills from monet called ENLIGHTENING www.skinbymonet. The only bad thing is the price. I used it for 6 months and it helped a lot. The first time I bought it I was not informed to take VITAMIN C and to only take it once a day. Basically I didn't get what I paid for.

second time that I bought it was from a different location. Just distrubutors. She said to take it with ester C. the best kinf od vitamin C.

and as for products. Such as facial wash, lotion and moisturizer I get it through eBay or local asian markets. I like in souther California.

if you guys happen to live near any filipino or asian stores such as SEAFOOD CITY or ISLAND PACIFIC they have plenty of whitening products.

I use likas papaya but recently bought bleaching soap from a dermatologist that specializes in skin whitening. The soap was pretty price. 12.99

facial wash I use ponds whitening, and ponds pearl cream as moisturizer

lotion I bought from a dermatologist and I got riipped off 150$ on eBay it sells for 30$+ less dan a hundred.

and I use eskinol papaya toner.

I do this everyday dats why I have achieved results that I have wanted.

now for skin whitening pills I use reduced L-glutathione from great earth. Its cheap like 20.00$ or less.

I have talked to a dermatologist who specializes in skin whitening and she mentioned IV glutathione. I have seen pictures and it works! BUT you have to take maybe 10+ shots to get the result you want. And she rec. 2x a week or else it will be usless. The price is EXPENSIVE. 80$ a shot. But if you have the money. Den its your choice.

she also re. body scurbs and peels to take out the dead skin cells such as diamond peel and microdermabrasion.

when I have money I will most likely get a diamond peel to get rid of my dead skin cells. And don't forget to use SPF 30+!

I hope that helped! =] tc

Ya I rarely use, I only just now started again but in areas I never lightened. I have an office job but I wait for the bus and stuff and I'm in the sun sometimes it doesn't really do anything to me. There's no way you can completely avoid the sun... but when I go out it doesn't do anyhthing to me.. I haven't figured it out maybe because I stopped using it way before the warm weather came.. and my skin is used to it.. also I think the stornger the products--> the more likely it has a reverse effect on your skin and makes you red.. I dono. Who knoes. Gold I don't know how light you have gone from you original complextion but just used it like 3 times a week or limit it just to maintain thecolour.. I don't think you need to use it 2wice a day to maintain it.

Yeah my legs I have gotten very light like halle berry light.. my upper body isn't as light... my legs are lighter than I wanted them to be.. I just wanted a light carmel color skin. I'm still working on my feets there almost completely light except for two toes and edges of the side of my feet. When I finally get my skin all even out I'm going to test to see how long I can go with out using the product I would love to be able to stop using it for while.. I'm afraid to be in the sun for a long period. When I vacation in FL where the sun super hot.. I probably will darken but I hope not.. I will be surprise if I don't.. oh I almost forgot bio- claire hasn't really work well on my hands... but every where else is fine... I wish I knew a product that works well on hands?. my hands refuse to lighten evenly... but all in all I still like bio claire I never achieve with any other products what bio claire has done for me...

I want to ask a question everybody . How dark is u guys skin is it caramel or dark chocolate? And why is it a problem? Is it a medical problem that your skin is too dark or do you mean your skin is too dark in some areas (like uneven) or are u guys just not happy with the skin color you were born with?

Really? I use it on muy hands here and there and it still lightens:s not suree. Its going to be hard going without it because you used diff proucts to lighten diff parts of your body so we doono how each reacts to the sun. It was really hot heree and it didn't do anythign to me but maybe it reacts differently with everyone.

Yeah Bio- claire is a good product it may take a month or two to start seeing results.. at least for me it took that long.. but for some bio-claire work fairly quick on them. When I first started using it , it took forever to work on me. Since people kept saying it works.. I kept my patient and I started seeing results ( I almost called this product crap.. ) bio-claire works well on the whole body...

Yeah I'm going to do a test drive to see how long my skin will last without using bio-claire.

Has anyone ever heard of anykind of skin whitening or litening even bleaching pills on market.
or any kind of pills that real work ,i mean REAL work an were made specifically for skin lightening ,bleaching watever not things like diet or crap like that.
i mean have done lots of researchs but they have been fruitless.
anyone ready to help me out .
thanks , :p

Hi. Well this is my first time using this so I'm going to try it out.
The problem I have is that I am somalian. I am originally lighted skind. And the thing is I burn easily and darken easily. I'm light in some area and dark in others

So in gernal I have uneven skin tone.I want to know about these lightening pills. Because I live in a place where I am exposed to a lot of sun and here. I ones read about a lighting pill that stops the myelinocyes production so you can go out and eveythign and not get darker. The thing is I lost the page ( tear) I reali want to know something about that prodcut so if anyone knws about it . Help..

I want to get my original colour back and not having problamatic skin expact the uneveness is annoying. So if any info about it let me know.

The other this is I don't like using these creams with harmful stuff because I have sensitive skin. I'm only 18 and don't want any side affect that would affected me in the future.

Thank u

Yeah I tried makari.. I bought 1 bottle of it yeah its very expensive I paid 42.00 bucks for it... and it ran out too quick to me it wasn't worth it cause about time I see result I would probably be pennyless. The bottle last me a week I didn't use the product long enough to see if it works... I bought the body lotion... I don't think they should charge so much money for that...

I have bought there whitening pills also..

I just think you should try bio-claire since it way cheaper than makari products.. unless you have a lot of money spend on makari products...

Trust me girl I don't have that kind of money:D . I am just so sick and tired of trying to find something that will work on mY body. It is starting to depress me:(

When I use fair and white products on my face I look really good I think I look better when my face is lighter. I just hate having to hide the rest of my body because its 5 shades darker. Some of the jamacian men can be really hard one called me a bleacher and was laughing at me:mad:

I have spent thousands over the past 5 years on products and pills nothing works. That's why I ordered ordered I changed my mind not to use it because I don't want to whiten just lighten my body.

I can't understand how the amercian black celebrity females can lighten and it looks natural I know that lightening and make up has a lot to do with it but I know the majority do you use some lightening cream I want it,but its like TOP SECRET ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIC:) :)

you can use bio-claire on your face and body... I use bio-claire on just my body because my face was already light... I just wanted my body even with my face...

Hi Ladies
I'm new to the board... and I've been searching the web for skin lightening products like everyone else. It seems like there are only a few products that seem to work. Bio Claire is something new to me that I've never heard prior to reading this post? Now this question may have been asked before but should I use whitening pills along with Bio Claire? I'm currently a dark brown skin tone and I would like to achieve a light brown shade. Also what do you guys think about menzobene

Listen I have tried gluta pills with vitamin c with the correct dosage for my weight for along time it did not mae me light at all. It don't work. Try bio claire people like gold3509 and shorty and many more have got good body lightening . I have just started to use it.

I brought monobenzone and I stopped using as it is not for lightening it for full depigmentation hope this helps

Sorry I took so long to respond I was away for the while...

I bought the big bottle of bio claire.. when you first use bio claire you have to use it three times a day for a week than 2 times a week. I was told to mix the oil with the cream in the jar to get better result.. I didn't it like that for a month but no result than I just use the lotion along for the rest of the time... but now I use the oil off and on... I have bought the soap off and on also...

That's OK I mangaed to get the soap and I mix the small oil with cream in the jar. So what you saying you didn't get much results mixing the oil with the cream? Is better to just use the cream or lotion on its own? Without using the oil?

No I think the oil plays a big part in the result.. it just that my result was taking forever to happen... I use the lotion mainly though
