    SO anyway, about melederm. Gosh darnit... Im hearing so many good stories, and so many bad stories. I don't have a toner or a scrubber that I use already. My face is already soft, and clean, and one toned. I just simply want to go whiter. I wanted to get the toner and the scrubber and th soap to ensure that I didn't use any chemicals, or harsh scrubbers that would counteract with the melederm. I like to use all of the same brand, especially when it comes to doing something drastic to the face.
    But you guys are saying it doesn't work, and that's it's a waste. I seriously feel like crying. I finally thought there was hope, and now, I don't have any hope that Ill ever having the angelic complexion I once had. When I was a child, I was very light, but living in California, and being exposed to the sun for years, has darkened skin. Well for the past 3 years I have stayed out of the sun, and used sunblocks and umbrellas or hats to shield me from direct sunlight, and I have gotten back some of my natural color. I live in riveride, which is a desert, and even being outside when its hot can and does tan your skin. Especially if your me, and your skin is used to producing thousands of melanocytes, because of the climate I live in.
    Im just tired of being upset with my complexion... it is praised to be light skinned. And I am... but Im not satisfied, I feel dark, and whether its mental or not, I know I would be happier, if I could just go a few shades.
    But seriously, I don't think anything works. And if it does, then its bad for your skin like monobenzone and hydroquinone. I don't want to be WHITE like michael jackson, and I don't want to avoid the sun for the rest of my life. I want to have a natural fair skinned glow, and I want to enjoy the sun again. But I know I won't be able to, as long as I fear getting dark.

    All of these products that do not have hydroquinone are not going to lighten your skin significantly (micheal jackson style LOL). They will make your face a couple shades "brighter". Usually if you just remember to put on a good sunblock every day your skin won't get darker. That is what I have been doing. The products do work but they just take time and patience.

    I have had good results with Melederm (whiterskin) but of course it won't work for everyone. No product will work on every person's skin. We are all different. Also, I know their return policy is the best among all the big companies. Makari products are good but their website says they themselves will decide if they want to refund you or not... total bs!! And forget about Fair&Flawless customer support... they are the worst to deal with! The best customer support is actually Euoko. They seem very knowledgeable about their products. However, if you don't have that kind of money to spend, Melederm is the next best option in my book. When I emailed the Civant company about their return policy, they told me you can return it 30 days after it gets shipped to your house. Also the first time I ordered from them my package was left at the door by my mailman. I live in a prety busy apartment building where there is a common center area. I think someone had stolen my package so I emailed them and they sent me another jar right away.

    Also remember that you have to keep applying the sunblock every 2-3 hours you are outside because it wears off after awhile.

    Don't worry there is hope for you! :) You have to have patience. No natural product will make a big difference in just a few weeks (despite what they claim). You have to use it for at least 2 months to see good results!

    Thank you Hindude,
    You always seem to have the right thing to say. I just don't know how YOU have the time, patience, and money to put into all of these different products. Like... isn't it harmful to use all of these things?
    I honestly just want to get 2-3 shades lighter... I will show pictures of my actual skin color, and the color I want to achieve.
    This is my actual color (well I tend to look darker on camera to, so... kind of look at me as being a little lighter in the dark pic: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...inalbobnea.jpg
    And this is an altered pic of the color I want to achieve:
    http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...114/bobnea.jpg

    You don't by any chance work for melederm do you?
    Do you have any before and after pictures? You said melederm turned your skin 2-3 shades whiter... so. Im assuming you would have taken pics.
    How long did it take for you to achieve your desired look?
    And... do you have to continuously use melerderm to maintain your results?

    I don't work for them. But I was happy with their products so I tend to promote them when I talk on the forums. From your pictures, it looks like a reasonable change. Since you are black, you might want to also look at Makari products. They are especially made for African american skin. There is another forum on the net where people talk about makari and most of them say they have had very good results. A lot of them are also black... I don't know if I am allowed to post the link... What can do is email Makari in advance and ask them if you will be allowed to return the cream and get it in writing. They have a ton of different creams, so you can find that other forum, find out which is the best one. Good luck to you and let us know how you make out!

    Hmm so I went onto the Makari website, and the first thing I noticed is that they talk a lot about skin "lightening" and not whitening.
    I believe that there IS difference. Skin whitening is actually making the skin whiter by a few complexions, and skin lightening just brightens up (you maintain the same color, but you look more fresh, and clean) the skin. As I have said before, I already have clear, and somewhat radiant looking skin... (camera's do not do my justice) so I don't need a skin lightener, I need a whitener.
    I don't have age spots, dark spots, white spots, NOTHING like that. I just want to be whiter, that's it.
    While watching the video on the makari website I noticed that the 2 women talking are very dark, darker than me by about 3-5 shades. And they were talking about how they use the product, and how much they like it, and Im like... hmmm, they say they've used all the products, are they basically trying to show that this stuff only lightens the skin to achieve a more clear complexion. Because they obviously aren't light skinned at all. Here's the website with the video of the super dark women: http://www.makari.com/
    I guess watching that was dissapointing, and knowing that they're products only have natural ingredients kind of makes me a skeptic.
    I mean if you think about it... whitening the skin in itself sounds like a dangerous thing. I think of whitening anything, and I automatically think of bleach. So... if we want to whiten out clothes safely, why don't we just use natural ingredients to whiten them. Clothes are important to right?
    I like the idea of natural "whitening" but it really doesn't sound promising any way you look at it. If you want to be whiter, chances are, your going to have to use chemicals, and just pray to god your face doesn't fall off.. right?
    Ugh this whole process has been highly dissapointing, I don't want to use the chemicals, but it seems that if I want affective, and fast results, Im going to have to go with hydroquinone, or benoquin. Grrr.
    Thanks for your help hindude, but your right... I am black (well jamaican and puerto rican) and its in my blood to be dark skinned (even though Im not, but that's because I stay out of the sun). I just want to stop the pigmentation process, and reduce melanin from froming, or slow it down, or whatever.
    You never answered if you have before and after pics.
    If you don't want to post them on here, you can always send them to my email.

    I guess I will chime in here. Ive been using the civant/melederm/whiterskin products for a long time and I had really good results. The biggest change was at the beginning maybe one or two months into it. The change was big enough where people asked me if I was using anything to make my skin lighter. After the first few months the results slowed down and now even though I keep using it my skin color has plateaued. I still use it for the fear that my skin will go back dark if I stop. But even the summer there has only been a little bit of darkening from the sun.

    Yeah I do believe that this product can give me results, but not the results I want, and not in the time that I want it in. I am a very impatient person, and I need something that's going to give me results after the first 2-3 applications.
    I am a college student, and I do a lot of running around, from moms to bfs, to sisters, to school... and that requires me to be in the sun a lot. I need something that is going to allow me to feel confident in my car for hours, while the sun is beaming right on my face... NOTHING I have used yet (not even sunblocks) has given me that confidence. I don't just want to get whiter, I want to keep maintain it as well. And that's the problem with a lot of these skin whiteners, they just can't promise it all.
    I guess Im being to picky when it comes to all of this, but if Im going to give my time, my effort and my money to this cause, it might as well be all I ever dreamed it to be. Or I would be better off just staying the color I am, and getting used to it.

    Hi flowerchildnea,
    I've been using melederm for a week now and I haven't seen any results yet but I'm hopeful by the end of next week I will see some results. Also I've been using extreme white on my back for acne marks I'm pretty fair and so any brown marks are very visible I've been using it for 3 days and I can see a very slight improvement cannot be certain it's the cream but I will confirm it in 2 weeks.

    Best of luck I think extreme white will do for you but be cautious there is a reason why I bought one cream for my face and one for my body, extreme white contains hydroquinone 2% because I am afraid to use it on my face, apparently it's a bad chemical for long term use.

    See you.

    I think you should just use sunblock and forget about skin creams! You will never be happy with using products if you want such fast results. Anyway, I think your natural skin color looks very pretty. ;)

    Aweee, thanks sharon. That's very sweet. I just get tired of being "the black girl" in the bunch. I hang out with people of all races, but my main friends are white and asian. And next to them I feel really dark, and I hate being known as the black girl, you know. Im not even full black, Im mixed, but none of that matters.
    I like who I am, I just hate not being seen for who I am, because people can't look past color. And Im really not that dark =(

    Thanks


    Hey, on that very website (the melederm website) there is a product for dark circles. People say that they don't like it because it burns... but it says on the website that it WILL and is SUPPOSED to burn, because its got xynthol, or some kind of ynthol (cooling, minty like sunstance/plant/herb).
    After a few times, the burning sensation should subside, and it should be nothing but great results from there.
    I believe that if you have the money, and the patience to change something about yourself that will give you either confidence, or the happiness you need to get on with life then I don't see a problem with "trying" a product. The worst that can happen is you don't like it, or it doesn't work. But there's a 50 50 chance in everything. And I think that 50 percent chance that it will work is all you need to go on with trying something. Its better than not trying anything, and being miserable. Because if you don't try anything you'll have a 100 percent chance that you won't get fixed, and you won't be happy.
    Not ever happens for us when were just sitting around, unless were born into wealth and happiness (according to television) like Paris Hilton, and children of wealthy/famous/rich people. And even then you have to work just a little to show that your worth something.
    There's a saying that good things come to those who wait. But I think that good things come to those who put themselves out there, and don't give up. The whole waiting thing is just a part of that. Because you have to do something to get something... and then you have to wait and see if your efforts will give you the results you wanted.

    Hi Everyone

    I for one can recommend Melederm because I have been using it for about 6 weeks now and people are starting to say that my skin looks better and healthier. I know that it has lightened slightly because I don't need much foundation any more. I'm loving the results so far and yesterday I ordered my second jar (a larger one)... I don't really care if I don't lighten any more, this stuff is fab. I feel I look much younger. This stuff takes its time to get working but the slower you obtain the results the more permanent they will be. I might cut down how much I use from now on.. I might just apply it at night.
    Anyway good luck to everyone else and I'll keep you updated.;)

    Hi littlegenie,
    You say that melederm has not lightened your skin so why are you ordering more, I mean what was your original purpose. You say its made your skin better how, can you elaborate, because I've been using it and have not found major benefits than other ordinary face creams.

    The only benefit I am seeing is that I have had a very minor skin lightning.

    Hi anousa82

    If you read my post carefully you will see that I mentioned that it had lightened my skin slightly and that it was also looking healthier, my skin also looks more uniform in colour. I have taken into consideration the fact that I have not been using this product for very long yet and the results so far are satisfactory.
    I have already mentioned in earlier posts that I don't intend on lightening my skin dramatically.. I only wish to have a brighter.. more uniform complexion. This product is working well so far which is why I have purchased another jar.

    I'm sorry that you did not get any results from using melederm but everyone's skin is different and reacts in different ways. I have read several other posts on this forum from people claiming success with melederm. ;)

    If you are trying to lighten skin colour dramatically I wouldn't recommend melederm because it works very slowly and may not be effective on very dark skin tones. I don't feel it is strong enough to lighten dark skin quickly. I used it because I don't favour using HQ on my face and I didn't want to lighten dramatically.

    Hi littlegenie,

    Even though I'm asian I'm very fair I'm not using melederm to lighten my whole face I don't want to lighten my face its already very fair, my problem and the reason I bought melederm was to use on my chin it is darker than the rest of my face its not that dark but its noticeable, I have only been using melederm for only 10 days and the small jar I bought is still all there since I have only been using it on a small area.

    I have seen results its only very very slight change but I think by the end of or even half the jar I will start to notice better results.

    The thing is I use sunblock and my skin is greasy the whole day I hate it, is it the sunblock or melederm, even if it is not the melederm I still have to use sunblock because of it.

    Can I ask what type of sunblock are you using?

    Thankx

    Hi anousa82

    I think you need to use the cream for at least 6 weeks to see any significant results. If you are only using it on your chin then the jar will last you quite a long time.
    The greasyness you mention is a result of the sunblock you are using as I do not experience any at all... I am not using any particular sunblock, my olay moisturiser contains an SPF 15 so I just use that. I apply the Melederm cream at night and the olay cream during the day now... although I was applying both creams during the day (melederm first then olay) until recently. I'v stopped applying the melederm during the day simply because I want to make the jar last longer. :)

    Hey Everyone!

    I'm new here and have been reading about Melederm with interest.

    I am brown skinned as well and would like to use it to lighten some dark patches that I have on my neck. I visited a cosmetic clinic recently and they suggested using a product called Cosmelan. Has anyone here used this before? Apparently it is one of a few products that have worked with darker skin tones. It is quite pricey, but if it works then I don't mind. I'm not sure Melederm will do the job for me.

    I used melederm for a few dark spots on my face and it helped a lot.

    I have heard of Cosmelan but I think its for people with extreme skin pigment problems. If you need something really strong, Cosmelan might be good for you.

    Thanks NikkiS:)

    I think I do need something stronger as I'm not just looking to lighten a few shades. I tried a prescription of 5 % HQ in the past which didn't really help, so I guess this Cosmelan is my only other choice.

    No cream will get rid of freckles. Trust me. Maybe try 4% hydroquinone to lighten them up a little bit. But they will always be there.
  • Sep 3, 2006, 02:33 AM

    The only reason why I am looking for a cream to lighten freckles is because I was told I can't have laser treatment to remove freckles. I have lightly tanned skin, and so laser treatment would result in white freckles on my nose.

    Any other ingredients I should be looking out for other than hydroquinone? Its banned in the UK.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry I haven't posted for a long time, I have been busy catching up on my studies but I just thought I would update you on my progress with melederm.
    I can safely say that this cream has lightened my skin by one shade over 2 months of use so its quite slow, but I'm not complaining as I like the results.
    People comment on me looking healthier but I know its because my skin is less patchy now, and more hydrated. I have nearly finished my second jar now as I only apply it at night. I will certainly be ordering more very soon.
    Let me know how you all are getting along with your skin lightening.:)

    Hi to all,
    I was a melasma sufferer and I am now a cosmelan user. When I decided to do something about my melasma I did a search on the melasma and treatments available and started putting aside all the treatments that:
    * Are too soft and don't show evident results in a short period of time: I don't want to spend money on something that doesn't make really visible results. Most cheap over the counter products ligthen a bit, but not enough for who has melasma, just for those that want to even their tone, but don't really have defined spots.
    * Are too harsh: At the same that I want an effective treatment I don't want it to be too harsh. If you stress your skin while treating melasma, you will have excatly the opposite effect. The derm layer of your skin will split from the epiderm layer. The hyperpigmentated cells will drop to the inner layer and your melasma turns into dermal. This form is much, much harder to treat, takes longer an usually doesn't disappear completely. In this I include TCA peels, green apple peel, glycolic peel and many others names. They make your skin renew, because they literally burn your skin.
    * Have side effects: Toxic products that are very effective with melasma but have large amounts of toxic ingredients that enters your body through your skin and have side effects on your organs. For example, like Jiaoli that has mercury is not good for me.
    * Have rebound effects: Treatments that are effective while you are using the product, but when you stop and without being any reason at all for new brown spots to be created and melasma comes back, sometimes even darker, these ones are not for me either.
    * Are photosensitizing: One of the side effects is increases your skin sensitivity. Even after treatment stops, the smallest amount of sunlight (and light from some lamps) are enough to create brown spots.

    After putting aside some treatments, the Mesoestetic Cosmelan Pack treatment seemed to be the best choice of all. It is effective, works on any fitzpatrick skin type (because it lightens your skins up to what tone your skin is genetically determined, not more), can be done any time of year, can go to the beach, can wear make up. The only no was the price. A bit expensive. Doctors charge from $700 to $1500. Until something better comes along, this my my product election.
    Take care.

    I can safely say that this cream has lightened my skin by one shade over 2 months of use so its quite slow, but im not complaining as i like the results.
    People comment on me looking healthier but i know its because my skin is less patchy now, and more hydrated. I have nearly finished my second jar now as i only apply it at night. I will certainly be ordering more very soon.
    Let me know how you all are getting along with your skin lightening.:)


    Sorry... I just wanted to know what is wrong in using Hydroqunine on your face... What are the side effects?

    I am a 45 yr old Chinese woman with pale skin and lots of freckles, and also in the last 3 to 4 yrs, have age spots appearing on my arms and elbows. I don't know if this is a case of melasma but I want to just lighten my freckles and age spots but not the skin generally as I am already quite pale. I have contacted Civant and they said that Meladerm is right for my purpose.

    I have now used Meladerm for 2 weeks and have followed the instructions religiously. The cream is white, smells nice, smooth when you first apply but gradually becomes a bit sticky as it dries on the skin. It is also probably too rich on my skin and caused some breakout which is unusual for me, but it is only minor so I am not too bothered about it. However, I must say that so far I cannot detect any change at all to my face although I will continue to finish the bottle. If I notice some improvement I will continue to use it for 3 months and will report again here.

    I have now used Meladerm for 8 weeks. Unfortunately I have not detected any improvement in my freckles/dark spots or in my skin tone :( I hope other people have more luck than I have with this product. I will not buy another bottle when the current one finishes. The only thing I will say is that a bottle seems to last quite long. I use it twice a day on my face and I think there is enough to last another 2 weeks at least.

    Hi, I've been using the meladerm cream now for about 3 weeks I can see some improvement but slow, I think it takes time, I'm blond with a lot of freckles too much sun, I hope it works they say it takes at less 2-3 months for full results. I will let you know how it goes, so far so good!

    Hey meena, I want to know something from you about civant. I am suffering of hyperpigmentation. I did lots of cure but didn't get satisfactory result. When I surf on internet about civant & it's product of pigmentation. My question is it good prodcut or beneficial to my skin?

I recently got an email from civant saying if you buy one you get the another jar for free. Also that they are discontiuning the melderm cream in a week and replacing it with toners, exfoliaters, etc. It beens 3 to 4 weeks now. I do not think they are discontuining the line.

    There product or there line used to be called "Whiterskin" and now they have completed changed there marketining stragery. Whiterskin was for skinlightening and now they say its not for skin lightening (only to get rid of tan, discolorations).

    Check out this board a lot of members using this product: brighterskin : Brighterskin Group


    Its leading the polls
