    Thanks for letting us in on your secret. I do have a question though and that is does it work for those who are waaay darker than Gabrielle Union and for those who have skin discoloration from acne. I need help!

    Are you talking about the X18 Rosance gel cream OneGod?

    It will probably work on someone darker than Gabrielle Union, but don't expect to get to Beyonce's color. If you want drastic results then you will need a high dose of hydroquinone with some retin a.

    When I used Rosance X18 gel cream I went from a little darker than Gabrielle Union to about Megan Goode's coloring; that's good enough and realistic for me. I know once I get some hydroquinone 4%, I want to get back to Meagan Goode's color.

    I'm not even sure if the current batch of Rosance X18 is even potent, I think it used to have hydroquionone in it, which is why I got so light years ago. And it probably stopped working because they removed the hydro.

    Right now the only thing that I can say will work is hydroquinone. I am just tired of using all of these over the counter creams etc. They just don't work that good

    I been doing this just as long... and she's about spot on for every product...

    Right now us vets are sitting in anticipation of gloriel... but it sucks because instead of these kids making a wonderful underground product that actually works right

    They are doing it all for a big cosmetic industry contract... which means the final product will be toned down... commercial... and most likely expensive.

    No one wants or needs mainstream skin lightening... smh

    But yea bio-claire just stopped working for me... I hate the damn immunity we get... it sucks... some brands youde like to stick too but cant

    So hydroquinie 4% is a go? Is it easy to get a safe reliable 4% hydro

    Or do we have to hunt for it... whats the word dark?

    Bet to use with tretinoine (retin-A) along with hq. I also get restless of innefective products that work little, wasted money. I don't have the patience to wait for gloriel and there's no updated info posted from them, especially if the cost is going to be high and the product diluted. Better off whipping up your own lightening lotion for yourself... at least the wait isn't forever.

    Yep all those big bottle beauty supply brands G&G, Rosance, Hot White, Fair&White, Sure White, X18, 55+ with fancy list of ingredients is just al different brands of the same hq in cheap lotion, doesn't work anyhow u take it even though its got Hq they're so stupid.

    Lol... well, the SH-18 does list hq 2%. As for Hot White, if I'm not mistaken that has steroids in it and G&G most likely has steroids too since it's made by the same manudfacture Novelle Parfumerie who makes bio claire. Unsure about the rest, but I plan to try 55H+ they didn't list hq as their ingredient.
