I think what is happening is the product makes you appear lighter but what it actually does is clear and even out the skin by sheding layers of your epidermis and I think that when you notice the changes if you keep using it over a long period I think the epidermis is become thin like the epidemis on the eyelid so veins can become visible. I think that's why in previous posts people said some places where tender when touch because the epidermis is to thin. Epidermis is thinner the inside of are were vein is the back of legs, eyelids, etc.. You can just look an tell on your body what's then prior to using the product. I think the veiny look will go away when the epidermis grows back. Most people normal shed some epidermis on the face every two weeks (light peeling) Maybe you should continue on the sunblock and stop the product. When your epidermis thickens again continue to use it or maybe use the product once a day or every other day to you see changes. I am no dr. so this are just suggestions.

I stopped using the sea salt because of the oil in it, and I think that might have slowed my progress, so I bought Fair & White exfoliating soap. I'm not sure if F & W soap will lighten, but it is a good exfoliater. So I will start using the oil and the cream on my body, and I started last night using the cream on my face. I am afraid to use the cream and the oil on my face, since I have read that it might be too strong.

So I am using the F&W soap in the shower to exfoliate
Then I use the Bio Claire oil and cream on my body
And then I use the Bio Claire soap and cream on my face.

I'm not having any of the side effects with bio claire as some with the exception of one. I look veiny after applying but other than that my skin isn't dry, it doesn't itch and no soreness. Fingers crossed and knock on wood.

Im glad I'm not the only person who feels that way. If you purchased your bio claire from the same carrier as me... "Ebay is definately a rip off"

This is my first post and I'm thnking about ordering the BC. My question is once the BC 2week treatment is over, do you maintain your new lighter color? Or will you darken if you're not using the products?

I would think you would have to continuously use it. It doesn't permanently lighten your skin. Maybe once a day or once every other day to maintain.

Thanks! The veiny look is getting better.

Ok guys, I'm still using bio claire (in a tub cream) and its still working. I was using it twice a day but now I can only use it once a day (at night) because I go out during the day everyday now and I don't like putting anything on my face when I go out (apart from sun screen of course). All I can say is that the more you use this product the better it is. A lot of people say that G&G products are good as well. Apperently they are made by the same company as bio claire and the tub it comes in looks similar and the prices are just as cheap like bio claire as well. Im not thinking of stopping the bio claire but I think I want to use the G&G cream along with it. If anyone has used it then please feel free to post results on this cream as well. As far as I'm concerned - if its by the same company as bio claire then it must be just as good? Right? :)

Hello, I'm thinking of using Bio Claire, is it okay to use under the eyes? The skin there is already quite thin and using bio claire could make it worse.

I stopped using Bio Claire for the eye area. It seemed to irritate the area so I just switched to a normal eye cream.

Hey Guys...
My name is Dequom and I just started on this site today... like all you guys I'm into skin lightening but the trouble is finding a product that works... Hydroquinone works well on my face but not really on the body... I have a friend here in Barbados that is so fair it's amazing ( she was really darked skin)... her entire body is "pink" for lack of a better word... even her ears... she's been using the Bioclair cream and oil and she swears by it...

Recently I bought a bottle of the cream and I mixed it with some of the oil I also threw in a 10% bottle of hydrquinone for good measure... well I know it's working because I decided to use it only on my feet and I can see the difference... but not as I would like... the feet it self is lightening but my toes have remained the same color...

What do you guys suggest... should I just start over a new month using ONLY the bioclaire products?. would you suggest using on the face as well... how often should I use it and how long do you anticipate it would be before seeing results...

Thanks guys

Has your friend also mixed HQ with the bio claire, or has she lightened so much with only bio claire?

Is the bio claire your friend is using HQ free? It should say in the ingredients. If it says "Hydroquinone Free" or "Sans Hydroquinone" on the tub then it means there is no HQ in it. Please let us know.

You might just have a problem with the product penetrating the skin on your toes. It might be worth looking into some kind of acid peel for these stubborn areas, but PLEASE ASK A DERMATOLOGIST, don't rely on my advice.

Also, try to work out what percentage of your mixed product is HQ, as long term high concentration usage of HQ could possibly lead to problems. In the US, prescription HQ is 4% and OTC is usually 2%.

Hey Consumer...

There are no Bioclaire products that contain HQ... they work on Bio vegeta I think that's the word

She started using HQ on her face years ago and only her face was lightening... but that was a while ago... now she is only using Bioclaire and her ENTIRE skin is pink and the same color... I do the same thing but not on my face just the feet and I'm definitely seeing lightening... I also use a pair of scrubbing bathing gloves on my feet just to open the skin cells I find that works sooooo well...

Right now my face is light using HQ but I want to hold off on that and just try the Bioclaire ONLY... even in Barbados Bioclair is really big... I want to use it on my face but I'm afraid that the lightening would go away and then I would have to start fresh trying to lighten with the Bioclair...

Do you thing I should try it?

Hi

Thanks for replying.

I really cannot advise you to use it or not. I am thinking to try it, but I just want my sun damaged face and hands to be the same color as my body, and I am naturally fair skinned asian.

If your friend has had such dramatic results with using only bio claire, then it sounds like it works very well, but I do not have direct experience.

Do you know if your friend is using the oil or the tub?

Sorry I can't help more :(

She's using both the oil and the lotion in the bottle... Bioclaire also comes in a bottle... she pours some of the oil to it

Bio Claire is OK to use on the face. I used the crème but it broke me out (Culprit must be mineral oil) so I've now switched to the lotion. No mixing or anything. And it's working. I've been using Bio Claire on and off since January and it still works.

So Chic... you don't think I need to mix with any HQ... how long did it take before you started see results and how much lighter did you become... did you use as directed (three times a day for the first week) at first and did you just use periodically

Well, I have been using because for 6 weeks, and my body is one shade lighter and my face is about 3 shades lighter. The verdict came from my son. I haven't seen him for 3 weeks. He's been spending the summer with his father and as soon as he saw me, he said Mommy you look lighter!

So I am going to only use the because to maintain on my face every other day and continue to use it twice a day on my body.

Bio Claire works!!

IS bio claire almost the same as hypprogel who has the same ingredients.. Labella what was you before color like and your after color?(using celebrities)

I'm not sure about Hyprogel. People tell me at lot I look like Stacy Dash, just a little darker and my eyes are brown. So I would say I was the complexionn of Kerri Washington maybe and now I am closer to Stacy's complexion if not a little lighter.

I went from a medium brown to a golden brown on my body, and a lighter golden brown on my face. I don't want to get any lighter in my face.

I started on my body two weeks before my face. And my body is definitely is taking longer. I have been lightening my face for 3 weeks and I have ligten 3 shades and my body only 1 shade in 6 weeks.

I've been mixing the lotion, cream, and oil together. But I have only been using the lotion on my face the past week. And I always exfoliate in the shower. But now my skin is starting to dry out and get itchy on my body. For about a week my body looked like it was getting darker then one morning I woke up and I was a shade lighter. Really weird.

Yeah I know what you mean about looking darker and they lighter overnite... the same has happened to me...

I think I read somewhere that the body usually takes the longest to lighten... I try using the BC cream and oil on my face only and see what happens...
I think I'll start a new month fresh in July to really measure the results

Is anyone going to post some effing results already?

:)

I just order the because lotion about 2days ago... im only going to try the lotion & see the result on my face,neck & arms... cause I was an caramel complexion a few summers ago.. but due to the sun I got brown.. so I'm really hoping because lotion can help me get back to the org caramel complexion I had awhile ago... any advice?

Just received my Bio Claire Cream in Jar, lotion and oil yesterday.. But I don't really like the smell though..
Does anyone know which one is suitable to use on face?

I wouldn't put the oil and the cream on my face. Just the cream. I would think that the oil would clog your pores and make you break out.

I have tried both on face.. and the oil doesn't really make my face feels oily,but the cream does.. but as you said, I'm afraid it will caused break out in a long term..

I personally use the lotion on my face. Your're right the cream is a little heavy, but using the cream and the oil seemed a little much. Maybe the oil and the lotion? The lotion is a lot lighter. When I put the cream and oil on my face once, it made me sweat. So I didn't do it anymore.

I am new to this site, but yesterday was my first day using the cream and I was thinking it was making me kind of oily too. Thank God I have never had a problem with acne BUT I don't want to start getting bumps. I put on the oil first, than the cream but I stay in the AC to make sure it all dries up then put on sunscreen. I also keep cotton balls to dap my face when I go outside just in case I start sweating.

Does anybody have suggestions on how much to put on the body? I have the jar and the oil, I rub on just a little bit of both. It kind of has a medicine type of smell and I don't want to smell like that.

I've been using the lotion for almost 2 weeks now, & I've seen a big chance.. like 1-2shades lighter. It may take a little longer on my face cause I had a some dark spots, but there clearing up nicely.. no break-out or anything, just clearier skin... what I want to know if I'm using it correctly.. wash before put on every time? Well if I'm not, then bio claire lotion is still working well for me. Its great.. n its only been llittle east then 2weeks.

Tray...

Are you using the oil as well or just the lotion or cream... and do you mix the two?.

Trayday what is your current skin tone(before using bio claire) in terms of celebrities?

What's more effective? The lotion or the oil?

I found that HQ will eventually darken you with time. It may began by giving results, but then will ultimately make you even darker at the end.

Is the cream effective? As effective as the lotion at least?

Everyone talks about the lotion but dang it my local store doesn't have the lotion right now. I believe I saw it there before, but they've only got the cream and the oil right now and it sucks.

And I just can't understand how an oil works to lighten your skin, lol. I just thought oil kind of diluted everything, I don't know.

I wish I could get the lotion.

I just bought the cream today though.

Any oil is going to be a richer concentration the same applies for a serum

The lotion is great.. I was like a Mario complexion the signer.. now I'm bow wow complexion maybe a tade bit dark.. just a little.. but yeah the lotion works great.. go cop it

OK... I already use Bio Claire around 8 days now.. I use the lotion on all over my body and cream on the face. And at night I apply oil first and follow by lotion on the face..
And I don't know what happen to my face now.. theres a lot of small red patches coming out all over my face, the skin around my mouth quiet itchy now..
Is it irritation or a normal process? I'm scared if it getting worse if I keep continue using it on the face..

Stawxxx, I never put the oil on my face, I think its too strong. I did get red patches on my body and they were itchy and it went away in about a week. That's because I was using the cream and the oil. Your body is harder to lighten so I guess you need something stronger, but I only used the lotion on my face and it worked just fine. No red spot or itching. But yes it's a normal process but it doesn't have to be for your face.
