As I said I was quoting weezing I think most people know about herbalinn by now... I have yet to see or hear that it works... besides newbie... I haven't heard of another black person say that it worksQuote:

I a lot of people have been saying if they get it from another place than herbalinn it's usually a scam... plus your give them money by money gram... I don't think so. What you think?

There are a couple of places in America that sell arbutin powder... or you could all just buy the actual bearberry extract which arbutin comes from and take that orally... it comes in capsule or tablet form...
So you think it's just another form of arbutin.. It kind of makes sense.
Yeah, it is just the extract of it... so you are better just going for the actual arbutin... but bearberry is arbutin... so even just buying the capsules at the chemist or health food shop, would do just fine.. and you could even take the herb powder out of the capsules and mix it into cream or something and apply it to your skin, if you don't want to take it orally..Quote:

THank you so much. I was thinking about trying ba but its so expensive for that little biy. My mom o didn't cost that much. I'm going to see if I can find some. I found it funnu that herbalinn is the only place that sells that stuff but it says it a form of arbutin and bearbearry.
I was wondering, since you give good advice, what kind of soap should I use to exfloitate my skin? Any one inperticular? I am running out of one I have but it has hq in it and I am trying to stay away from this time! If I am not mistaken, your using mono? Do you find your skin is always peeling? I am in that stage right now? I get lighter, then darker, face peels, then I am lighter than before.

I find exfoliating the worst thing for this process as it just makes the skin much tighter... soft... but very very tight! I use apricot scrub, and also an exfoliation towel from the body shop... so you can put whatever soap you desire on it and then foam it up on the towel and scrub all you like, or till you can take it anymore... I have stopped exfoliating my face, because it is just making things worse, so I am just applying moisturizer a lot through the day... just to help the cracking of the skin... so it is not as painful...
Also here is another place that sells arbutin powder Alpha-Arbutin Powder 99.5% / 5 gr
I have never bought from them... but just did a bit of research as to who else sells it... and this one is in america..
Aurbutin powder isn't even expensive really I have seen a site that sells lots of actives... once you know about ingredients and what works and doesn't work for you I think it maybe a lot better mixing these things up yourself... at least you know what's in it I think that's why I'm hesitant to order from herbalinn I really like knowing what I'm putting on my skin
Gardern wisdom is where I have ordered my HQ from
Yeah, I wish I were more of a chemical person. I could just buy raw Arbutin and mix it into Alpha/Benzyl-Arbutin. Arbutin itself isn't that strong for lightening.Quote:

How would your make arbutin into ba?
No idea.
I got the cream and its hard as hell to get it. It works and I does not turn your skin white unless you want it to. It does not create spots either but it does permanently change your color unless you go in the sun often and tan back to your original color. I have some but its going to cost you and its expensive but not in the hundreds. [email protected] hit me upQuote:
