    Hi Tina,

    Tell me about it! I could understand if I were to tan in the sun and have my pigments return.. but not naturally on its own.

    .. So Lucida would give permanent results? And it’s a lightening pills.. right? Can you use any other lightening creams with it… just to speed things up?
    Are you using Lucida right now? Actually the link isn’t working.
    I’m sorry for bombarding you with all these question but I’m really curious. I’m tired of all these FAKE products that only lighten my purse. I want to find something that works, and permanently! If you know anything please do share.

    Thanks for the response.

    Hi TinaBrown,
    Didn`t start taking Lucida DS because I have a problem with the customer clearance! I hope I will get it in 1 or 2 days. It`s already in the country.

    HI LOTTI
    That is great news, I hope that they come through. I emailed the owner of the website and he basically said that the pills need to be taken forever. So once you start you can't stop, so make sure this is defenetly what you want and can afford.

    Hey monica.
    You should go to the website they have a great amount of information. But yes results are permanet as long as you keep taking the pills, once you stop I think the pigment will come back, as far as I know. And yes they are skinlightening pills but known as skin whitening. You can also use other creams and soaps to make the process more quick because the pills work from within the body and the creams etc work outside on the actual skin. I don't think the product is fake, just use it as it says and it will work.
    Hope I have given you some help.
    Keep up the research something will work.

    Hey guys.

    I too want to be a shade lighter.

    Im currently doing it the safest way possible. Im wearing my sunblock lotion and drinking carrot juice; I love carrots. Also every night I dab buttermilk on my body; I forgot how buttermilk works to fade spots but it does for me. Also I'm blemish free. Apple cider vinegar, Combine two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with one teaspoon of orange juice and apply to the spots, preferably on a cloth or cotton pad that is secured to the area.


    Check these sites out. There's lots of helpful information in them and a lot of helpful people as well. :cool:

    Good luck guys :)

    Hi Lotti,

    Thanks for the info and good luck, I really hope it works.
    I hope it will work as fast as it would for Asians. And believe me I know what it’s like to get scammed, that’s why I’m so skeptical about buying these products. That Kumanzi character is also a scammer, or so I’ve heard.



    And Thanks for the links Amedeco!

    Hi monica,
    Kuzami is too expensive and there is no big company behind him. That is the big problem! He only wants to make good fast money. I think I am lightener as a asian and so it should work fast. However L-glutathionein in high dosis is the only thing which I think that could really help. I have tried so many creams... -all fakes- and a big waste of money

    Unitedshelter seems to be very credible. I even can`t believe such a big fraud. Nevertheless it`s great pity that I cannot find a person (in the net) which used l-glutathione in the right dosis and long enough for her/his complexion.
    I think it`s maybe too new.



    Nevertheless I`m optimistic.
    Life is very hard with such a skin/pigment problem.
    Monica which country are you from and how old are you?
    Good old europa?
    I hope to hear from you soon!

    p.s. what does scammer mean?

    Hi Lotti,

    I heard Kumanzi's Products doesn’t even work. I was browsing through a site and some folks were having a conversation about it in those regards. Anyway, I really hope L-glutathionein in high doses really works. I have to say that I’m very skeptical about lightening pills itself, therefore I’m keeping my fingers crossed tightly that this works.

    My skin complexion is uneven. I really want to find something that will give me an overall even complexion. I’m 23 and I live in Canada, which I guess is a disadvantage. While browsing through sites, I’ve realized that quite a few companies that don’t cater to Canadian residents.

    Also, I heard that Fair and flawless has lightening pills. I’ve emailed them question but they have yet to respond.

    .. Oh and a scammer is basically a con artist.

    Hey monica
    I didn't realise I left out .us on the link I gave you. Sorry. So now you have been what do you think. Sounds promising doesn't it. I think it is reliable because I called one of the contact numbers and spoke to somebody on the telephone. They even have a pickup center in uk, where I am from. So have a look on the website carefully, there might be a pick up centre in canada.

    Hello NOORUR,

    How long have you been using that product?. did/is it working?
  • Apr 14, 2005, 09:44 PM
    monica
    Hi Tina,

    That’s OK. Thanks for the reply.

    Even though this product works more quick for Asian skin tones, or similar, I guess it does sound convincing (as do they all). Thing is I’m so darn skeptical of lightening pills itself. But you never really know what works until you try it, unfortunately. Fair and Flawless has lightening pills (particularly made for brown/dark skinned individuals) that I was considering... Until they didn’t respond to my emails.

    I was going to order the custom made pills, and creams from F&F. I’m not sure anymore though. Anyway, no I haven’t checked the website for pick-up areas in Canada. There are just so many skin lightening products all promising to be the ‘it thing’ but many are fakes. So before I try anything, I want testimonies for individuals that have tried the product and had success.

    I don’t want to get ripped-off. If you want to try it, maybe you should get testimonies for other people who have tried it before ordering.

    Hey Monica! Thanks very much for the link! Im definitley going to purchase it.
    I just hope that it's not a scam. They offer a 90 day money back deal, so, I guess it'll be okay.

    Also, I've decided to take my chance with the bearberries. It is truly known to inhibit the production of melanin. Wish me luck. :confused:

    All keep it posted. :) :)
    Good luck to everyone.

    Lucida-ds whitening range
    Hi everybody,

    I stumbled upon this forum after hours and hours of researching like everybody else here no doubt. I have been looking for a safe and effective method of skin lightening for years and years and have wasted lots of money on various creams, potions and lotions! I am so cautious now and only want to spend my money on something unless I am really convinced that I will see results! This L-glutathione seems very interesting... and thanks Lotti for all your information and personal experiences/recommendations. I am thinking to purchase these pills... I was wondering how anyone is getting on with them? And also does anyone have any comments on the Lucida-ds whitening system on the http://www.unitedshelter.us/lws.html site?

    Again, its lotions and potions... if anyone has any comments, would really appreciate it. Its comforting to know that there are other people out there in the same position looking for answers! Hopefully we will find a solution!

    Take care

    That sounds very interesting yellowgal85. Can you post the link?

    I really hope those pills don't have a down fall. Please please please. I'd like to try those and the HYTHIOL-C pills. *crossing fingers*

    Hi skinwhite,

    Thankx for your information/reply. Well I know that I have to become a member before I can "log" in. But I still have problems with my internet-access. -sorry- only the 1/2 things work
    However I know melatonin rather good. I have even used it already.
    Melatonin is hormon and it`s used as a "natural" sleeping pill in the usa.In the usa you can get it in every drugstore. In europa (without the netherlands) it`s even not possible to receive it.
    Melatonin make your pigmentation smaller. (it is a side effect)
    There is no long term success at all!! Melatonin (I have used 9 to 16mg a day) is even harmful for your body. Guyz please stay away from this stuff. -okay- If anyone found out something news I still will answer. Cu

    Yellowgal, I’m right there with Ya.

    I too am searching for lightening pills that actually WORK!!

    Not sure if one actually exists though.

    Have you tired or heard anything about the ones fair and flawless sell?

    …I heard they sell pills. And since their products are specifically made for ethnic skin tones -- African American individuals-- it might be more of good use.

    Fair and Flawless
    I had been using Fair and Flawless whitening gel on my face since Novembember of last year (a chinese lady introduced it to me in her store in Ft. Jackson, NC). She told me that she is always selling out of it because people always come back for more. 2 months later, I visited my mother in San Antonio. She hadn't seen me in about 4 months, so she told me that she noticed that I was lighter than before. My skin color is the color of Tony Braxton.

    So anyway, switching things up a bit, I ordered the whole Godiva ethnic lightening set (about $110.00) and have been using it for about 2.5 weeks now. And although I don't notice any lightening difference yet, my skin IS free from all open pores, blackheads and anything else. My face is definitely flawless right now. :D

    I was hoping to speed things up a bit with some pills. I read some of you referring to "Asia White" pills and asked a question about it a few days ago, but no one answered.

    Anyway, if anyone finally finds some "Asia White" pills other than that scam site, please let us know.

    ~Real :cool:
