It doesn't work for me. Might work for you. But it can cause cancer. For most people it lightens their skin, which is why they probably say it's good. But it's at your own risk.

Wow 2%?? Mmmm wouldn't work for me!
Ive used 8% for 10 yrs off & on w retin a. the face is different from the skin. I have 40% for the body very slow for what I need. Arbutin ( benzarbutin) depig.com a waste of money guaranteed.

Sweetchia,
I found my sunscreen on eBay. Its thick & it leave a white film on my face.
I think Nutrogena came out w a 100.

They did come out with a 100 and I got it. I like it and it works. You should def. try it.

Is it cheaper than 25.00? LOL
That's what I paid for Photoderm Max Crème
100 spf

Hi Lighterrr would it be possible to send me a before and after picture and your skin lightening method - I'm using skin lightners but my viens keep showing - do you know what I can do to prevent my viens showing also my face has become so spotty. Help I'm a fellow nigerian [email protected]

Not freakin benzyl arbutin... scam crap... the real alpha arbutin, you can get at skinactives.com is good

Ms nina why are you so concern with changing who you are. What is so wrong with being venus williams color. Honey god created us all different shades, there are actually people that are really light that don't like there skin tone . If someone has made you feel that you are less than because of your color don't get in agreeance with them. Your beautiful just the way you are. Michaeal Jackson was made fun of as a child and he has ruined his self from his skin to his features. Its really sad that people won't accept themselves for who they are. We only have a short time here nina focus on thing that won't fade away.
