    Just remember it took a long time for me to start seeing result. I think it took me about 2 month to finally start seeing a change in my skin color.. but for some others they saw result sooner so hopefully you are one of the lucky ones to notice result quick...

    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 there!

    you should try metathione which is about Php38.25 per capsule... it is really effective... take it from me I have been using it for only about 1 and a half month and I can see very obvious results... my skin gets fairer than what it was before... I buy it from watson's drugstore and guess what... you can buy tingi2x if you are in a budget constraint... try it poh... im a male but it did work for me... I also observe an improvement in my physique... I have become "macho" since I tried using it...

    Hi tina brown! A friend of mine from phils highly recommended me the lucida ds so I think I'm going to try it.. if you could give randy's number I would really appreciate it.. im from austin Texas and I'm hoping that they have a pick up center here too.. right now I'm using l-glutathione 500mg with vit c and bionflavonoids.. and the l-glutathione lotion.. ive been using it for almost 2 weeks.. I don't see much of a difference yet but I know that it would take a while to see the results.. take care

    Comment on Glutathione pills... THEY DO WORK, for all of you asking that very immportant question.I´ve been using super-skin-whitening-pills for up to three mounts now and have to say that I´m amazed by the results. Ok listen to this I´m am of mixed raced ( arab / hindi ) my complexion is light to normal brown. However I was kind of darker in my face, so a friend of mine advised me to used Glutathione 1000 mg mixed with Vitamine C with Rosehip. Been taking the pills and not missing one, first my hands started lighting up and than my feet and finnaly my body and face. I´ve gone from a brown tan to an nice glowing , rosie whiter complexion. And yes my dark spots are gone... but be careful is you are a smoker the vitamine C will not be obsorbe by your systeem. When going out in the sun use an good sun block ( mine is from Biotherme ) Also its smart to use a external crème, use an official blend. The best one on the market right now is from Lancaster from the Infinite white line ( this includes a cleanser, day and night crème and is the best xsp for Asian skin. I´m sorry to say that not every one is a canidate for these pills is you are to dark and have thick skin it will not work for you. And PS don´t listen to every one on this board there some very backward people wrighting lots of stupid stuff... anyway good luck and yes a fairer skin tone is very important these days. I should know this working in the fashion branche.. so go a head an update yourself if you can but do it save, damaged to your skin is useally permanent all the reason for you to be very selective with this biggest organ of yours... NT my pills came from Kazumi ( superwhiteningpills.net)... God bless.

    Really I don't think you should be taking pills. You see they are very dangerous and will affect your body bably. You don't really know what in them... so I suggest stay away from them. Try using bio claire skin lightening body lotion without hydrquinone. At least use something that is sfae in the long term.

    Yes I do know what´s in them... really is there anyone who´s stupid ennough to take pills without knowing the effect. After a lot of background study and consulting with my doctor I then decided to use Glut.pills witch is an natural oxidant and has many healt pro´s ( anti ageing, detoxing lever ) and the use of vitamine C is also very good for ones healt. On the other side the use of lotions and cremes is only temp. after a while they will back fire and can make you even darker or damaged your skin.. this is a medical proven fact. Anyway do your home work first. FYI Glutathione is a master anti oxidant and is formed in the human body there are no negative side effects, after it has detox your inside the only `side effect` is the lightening of your pigment.. that is way it has been used for a very long time by many celebs, it´s only now that the `normal` people can get there hands on this stuff...

    Hey guys its been a while since I've posted. I had stopped using bio claire because everyday I was having headaches and feeling weird an I didn't want to be using anything, in case ithe bio claire was the problem. Anyway I started using a claire liss(big mistake) after a while, I went in the sun and I got so dark, darker than my original color(it has hydroquinone) so I threw it out. I started using bio claire again, oil mixed with cream and lotion. Its been a week since I've been using it again and it lightened me a great deal, you should have seen how dark I got.So I'll be using it from now on, no more experimentign with anything else. I'll update you soon on my progress

    I think that a lot of the whitening pills like glutathione, lysine, makari, are just supplements they heard are very good for healthy skin tone, so they exaggerate and say they can make you lighter. Because I tried a lot of them, including very high doze L-Glutathione with Vitamin C and it only added olive and carrot tones to my dark skin. I wondered why and did a search and found out L-Glutathione is also used by bodybuilders and tanning babes that want to darken their skin tone. So glutathione feeds the phaeomelanin process, but does not interfere with melanin. That means if you are white or japanese asian type of fair skin, glutathione helps you look brighter color. But if you are naturally dark skin, glutathione is just doing adding some light color onto the palette, not reducing the dark pigment.

    The only pills that I have heard that truly works to bleach your skin is the antibiotic Fowl Pill from Jamaica, and the huge steroid pill from Africa. People from all over the world go to Africa just to buy that pill. They work but shutting down the bodies production of melanin.

    I have been considering ingesting small amount of pure benzyl-arbutin to see if it has a lightening effect on the skin, hair, and eyes. I always wanted lighter eyes too, and contact lenses look fake!

    Yeah long time no see.. I didn't know you mix both cream and lotion with the oil. I been mixin the oil and cream together only... so are you saying you will get a faster result if you mix both cream and lotion with the oil? bio-claire has lighten me a lot.. but took a while to see result... I am think of mixing both cream and lotion with the oil now since you mention it maybe it will lighten the spots on both my hands feet that taking for ever to lighten up

    Hi gold3509 I know its just so hard. My face has stop lightening now other changes. My elbow was very dry and I thought it would peel like your experience but the dryness and peelng has stopped. I have had no icthing what's going on I bet you it doesn't work for me I always have bad luck

    I began taking benzylarbutin 500 mg every day last night. I hope it helps lighten my hair and eyes. I know applying the cream does work, but I want it to affect my eyes and hair color also.

    I don't think supplements like glutathione can lighten the skin, because that's in the diet and made by the liver as needed anyway. In order to lighten the skin, it needs to be able to kill or shut down melanocytes. I noticed from depigmented people's pics that fewer or smaller melanocytes cells makes you look fairer and also thinner as well.

    Hey, when I first started using bio claire, I was using the oil and the cream only, but now I decided to mix all 3 together because the othercream made me so dark and it lightened fast , so to me it works better when you use all 3. I'll keep you posted

    Yeah after while the dryness will stop but than it will start again cause the skin is just renewing itself... but I like said it take a long time to get result but it does work it took me 2 to 3 month to finally start seeing it working on me... I almost gave up bio-claire until people kept saying it does work.. than I saw result

    Jessica1 I would say give it at least 3 to 4 month to see good results... the lower parts of my legs are the lighty part of my body now.. its lighter than what I wanted I have to use self tanning lotion to darken my legs a little. My legs just look like I been in the sun and forgot to tan the lower parts of my legs like white people...

    This is to GOLD3509 AND unpredictablehi... I am new to this site. I've been reading this forum for a bit. I'm a 23 medium skinned Asian. I just want to even out my skin tone and if possible go a few shades lighter. Both of my parents are very light-skinned, but not me. After reading the forum for awhil I decided to give Bio Clair a try and just finished ordering it online. I can't wait to try it out. I odered the big jar of body cream, the soap, and the serum. Do I pour the serum (which I think is the oil) into the jar of cream?

    Hi Gold3509... so I can just pour the whole serum into the jar correct, mix it and leave it like that?

    I also wanted to say that I emailed customer service for the 10%HQ. They sent me a consent form to signed then after they receive it, I can call them up and order it... How long did it take you to notice changes in your facial tone and you only used it on your face, correct?. I have very dark elbows, underarms, and knees... it's so embarrassing and I don't feel comfortable wearing clothing that expose those areas.. do you think the 10%HQ will help??

    OK cool thks been hearing a lot of positive feedback regarding Bio claire... must be true then... Hydroquine isn´t that bad stuff, research has shown that kojic acid ( as found in papaya soap for example) has the same effect and is way safer... this because it all natural... Salaam

    I never had a problem with HQ but some people do have reactions it. Allergy or something.

    Yeah I read about kojic acid and the papaya soap.. but I'm cool with what I'm using for now...

    Hi Diana. It depence on your weight, length and age... be sure to take twice the dosage of vitamine C, I personly recommend vitamine C formule with Rosehip.. this is the best for skin lightening. A great tip is to use an external crème as well, a lot of people on this forum recommend Bioclaire my choice is the Diana Stalder line ( papaya and kojic acid) but I do believe that both of these product do the job. Beauty secret is not to smoke are drink alcohol during your treatments... L-Glutathione is an master anti-oxidant witch detox your system, after cleaning you internally it´s `side-effect`is the whitening of once skin.
    NT if you order from a good dealer he or she will/must provide you with a schedule of dosage... Good luck.:)

    When I first started using bio claire I just use it on my body not my face. That why I kept complaining it not working.. everybody else on here use it on there face and I didn't. Most here saw result on the face before any thing else. My body started to lighten about two months later so it going to take while to see result on the body... but some see it sooner but not me.. when using tretinoin with H Q be careful cause it peels the skin... and lot of redness... burning affects after peeling in about 6 or 7 day later... so be careful with this product...

    Bio claire works on the body but takes longer

    Is the tretinoin in the 10%HQ itself? Or is it in another product that I should order??
    Any suggestions on dark underarm pits and elbows? It's so embarrassing.. :(

    I'm going to continue using the Bio Claire religiously on my body for at least 3mo. I'll definitely keep you posted.. oh! One more thing.. do you have any before and after pics?? I just want to get a visual of how well this product can possibly work for me.. but if you feel uncomfortable showing them to me I understand.

    i'm going to continue using the Bio Claire religiously on my body for at least 3mo. i'll definitely keep you posted..oh! one more thing..do you have any before and after pics??? i just wanna get a visual of how well this product can possibly work for me..but if you feel uncomfortable showing them to me I understand.

    No you have to ask for tretinoin with HQ HQ is sold by itself no I don't have before and after pic. Bio claire has lighten my elbows and knees..

    Hello, I am new to this board but I have been following this topic. I have been searching for skin lightning produts that really work!
    I am living in The Netherlands so does anyone know how and where I can order Bio Claire and hydroquionone 10% and how much it will cost in euros?
    And one more thing.. hydroquionone is not permitted in The Netherlands.. but I REALLY need to have bio claire and hydroquionone 10%. :(
    What can I do to get them?
    I'm currently a dark brown skin tone and I would like to achieve a light brown skin tone.
    Thank you.
