    fingers crossed it might be becuase its greasy? i don't know :S

    How much are you using? I broke out the second week of using it. And that was because I was globbing large amounts on my face. In this case. LESS IS MORE. Trust me. Just put a light coating on and let it soak into your skin. I know some people use a cotton ball. But I prefer to use clean finger tips because it's less friction with the skin that way. Hope this helps. And remember. A LIGHT coating. Or mix it with something. I dilute mines with water.

    Yes I use bare hands as well. My first two applications I used cotton pads then found it easier to use my bare hands

    With my arms it's hard to tell cause I am bare armed everyday, But my legs look nice.

    I am guessing you live someone warm as you go bare armed every day, then? I am grateful that I live in London, although it has been quite a warm summer. I mean even today the sun is quite strong. Roll on the winter, my favourite time of year!

Annnnnnd. I found this glycerine based product. It's from Paris and kind of expensive. It says it's natural. So I gave it a shot. And I kid you not. I lighten half a shade as each day goes by. And it's making my scars go away and it's hydrating my skin and making it look so youthful (Even though I'm young, 20 to be exact.... But it's still making my skin look really fresh and young).... So I wanted to list the ingredients here to see if any of you guys spot a red flag.... So on the front of the bottle it says {55 H+} CHRISTALINE (I think this is the brand name. But I could be wrong? Half of the bottle is in enlgish. half in french. so I'm so confused. lol) Glycerine fine Strong-Lightening (Recommended in health stores and dermatologist practices)

    On the back it says:

    "Fine composition of glycerine, enriched with extra quality vegetable products, preserving all main properties and vitamins. Manufactured using the best lightenigh plants. It's soft and deep action feeds and moisturizes the epidermis, keeping it soft, mild and smooth. It is recommended for all types of skins, preventing them from dryness, aging, and wrinkles."

    Directions for use: Apply carefully this lotion on face and neck surface< using a cotton wool> Do not rinse> Let them dry completely before applying other treatments (creams or make-ups).

    WARNING: For External use only. In case of contact with eyes rinse them with plenty of cold water.

    Ingredients: Glycerine, Propiene Glycol, Arctostaphyious Uva-Ursi (Bearberry extract), PEG-40 Hydrogenated caster oil, Trideceth-9, Parfum (fragrance), Morus bombycis (Mulberry root extract), Daucus Carota, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Medtabisulfite, Bencyl Alcohol, Methychtoroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

    Maharani what are you using?
  • Sep 24, 2009, 12:03 PM
    MAHARANI

    I am alternating between fair and flawless and makari mainly, along with retin A.

    Currently nothing on the body, although I was using bio claire but now realise it is not good for the skin.

    Did you get stretch marks? I did on my belly
  • Sep 24, 2009, 01:27 PM
    MAHARANI

    Thankfully no stretch marks and my skin does not appear to have suffered as a result when I stopped using it. It was just at the time that the skin was very sore and my veins were really visible, especially as the skin was so pale, almost white.
