How would you apply F&W Exclusive to your whole body, the tube is so small.

I am using the body lotion and serum.Not the tube.On my knucks and toes,I use 55H+

There are so many different F&W products which one are you using ? and makari products are expensive. I tried the makari bodymilk for two weeks that how long its lasted me.. it did nothing for me.. did they improve the formula? I used it three years ago.. and never used it again..

How come makari di nothing for you?Hmm... for me,it does too much.
I don't know if they improved the formula or not.My first encounter with it was in November 2008.Since then,I have been using it from time to time.used it this last February ans am still planning on using it again to step up a little more.

Thanks for the info on f&w. I don't know I used makari body milk for 2 weeks and then the bottle ran out... it smell good they want too much money for that little bottle that doesn't last long... I saw no result within those two weeks I used it... maybe I had to wait a little longer to see result but it didn't work on me... I'm going to try did F&W body milk to see if it works... and if it does work I will stop using bio claire on my body... I know how you guys talks about bio claire.. and I agree its not good for the face.. I do use it on my body it lighten my body good but want to change to a different product that does work so I'm going to try this F&W

Guys! All hail Yellowannabe!
She mentioned the plastic bag method and oh yes! It works perfectly well.My toes are smooth and virtually the same complexion all through.Just have a little more weeks to go and I will be so done!!
Yes!!

Anyone having problems with the toes and knuckles... do the plastic bag method for it truly works!

I am so so bad with shades.I won't know... but I am clearly fairer.

Violaename I've used it all; makari, f&w etc.
How do u like Lait 90? The new bottle and smell is different. Does it really work? I don't think I like the smell so much but then again its hydroquinine free.

Girl... Lait 90 really didn't do a thing for me.Just made me glow a little.In the beginning,I thought it was working... but nah.
I later mixed arbutin and bearburry in the lotion.thats when it made some sense.The smell... hmm.Like toothpaste and something else.

I am now with F&W exclusive.I am enjoying every bit of it!!
For lotions that I have used so far that really work,you have
Makari,F&W,So White,Maxi Tone of F&W... apparently,I dangle a lot around F&W products.I personally like them a lot.

Comment on Violaename's post

Which is betther Beta or Aplha Arbutin? & where do u get it online? & bearberry 2 there seems to be different brands

Sabrina2010,
Which F&W did you use that burned you?
So sorry to hear.
Was it the exclusive lotion? May be you should try So White-of F&W and the serum too.Its more gentle... it smells like heaven.

violaname are you using f&w in conjunction with retin-a or are you just using the f&w on its own? also did u only buy makari at the website or other online store?their shipping and handling is killing me!

Hi Flickka
I am using F&W alone. I really want to try Retin a... I hear so many good reviews.Never used it before.Some time soon,I will.
I bought Makari from their site.But when I was in my country,I could just get it from the pharmacy.

@sabrina where can I get a good bearberry/arbutin? Thank you

You could do a tca peel on your knuckles & toes

Or a high glycolic peel

@violaename hey I'm from london and I use fair and white exfoliating soap but I've never tried its whitining products so I am going to try the fair and white exclusive stuff hope it works, and how to you wrap cling film on your toes? Do you do dem individually? And do you wrap your fingers individually? Lol sorry I'm a bit confused but please get bak to me asap, and how long does it take to blend in with the rest of the body?

I don't know how 2010 you would consider this but when I had problems lightening my feet, as a strange as this may sound a Jamaican friend of mine told me to use the wrap method because it promotes absorption. And it really did work.

Since you're trying to lighten your knuckles and toes you'll need 4 plastic shopping bags, your choice of product, a pair of thick gloves and thick ankle socks. Before you go to sleep at night, apply the product to your hands and feet. Put each of your feet and each of your hands into a plastic bag. Put the ankle socks and gloves over the bags.

Not gonna lie, the first night its extremely uncomfortable...but if you stick it out, you'll get results. I saw results in about 2 weeks.

Totally agree make your skin smooth soft and glowing. Done that

@sabazee thanks I will take that method on board, I hope it works, what cream do you use by the way?

Oh, 2 creams actually.
1. Glycrien + rose water + lemon few drops
2. Vaselline.

Any one will work.

Girl... F$W works well for me!
When I began,I put my foot into the bag and tied around my ankle.Then later... my feet were the way I wanted them to be... my toes got fairer too... but they still needed lightening.So I tie them all together half way... You MUST see results!

Yes.I mix the lotion and serum in my hands and rub on my feet very well morning and evening.Then I use 55h+ on my toes.I wrap for as long as I am at home.Meaning if I am home for 24h,da plastic will be on... then off when I want to shower.

Thanks for answering my questions trust me I really appreciate it because a lot of people at my uni ask me why my nuckles are so blak in comparison to da rest of my body even my aunts ask me aswel its so embarrasin. I've tried so many things for my knuckles I tried skin light (with ornage lid), 55h+ efficacite extreme body lotion which made me really dark and made my knuckles darker. Which 55h+ do you use?

You are welcome girl.
I use the strong bleaching cream in the tube.
This knuckle issue is a hard thing to crack.
Some people actaully have pretty dark knuckles.But when you use lightening creams... it just highlights it in a way... It can be very frustrating and it takes a lot of time to treat.
I forgot to tell you... I use a glycolic acid peel from time to time.It help exfoliate the skin faster.

Yeah I've just recently found out about acid peels, here's a link to a thread where someone got instant results in days, her name is bryter

yeah...it's been a while... - Page 2 - Skin Lightening - Skin Care Talk

Tell me what you think and if you think its safe to do what she did. Also where did you purchase you glycolic acid peel from aand what percentage is it?

I could not see it...
But what I do is apply my acid and wash it off after like 3 minutes... but for the face... I leave it for 60secs!not more... the skin on the face and that of the toes is totally different!

Oh okay thanks a bunch for answering my questions, where bouts do u purchase da peel from?
