It takes me like... at least 4 hours for it to completely absorb. If not more. I don't like to go to sleep with it on. So sometimes I even just wash it off because I'm so restless with it. And oooo! Good idea Golden! I'll def try that. Do you recommend any specific one?

I had listed all of the ingredients and their function a while back
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/skin-l...ue-387909.html

Brown I would have to search for one and look at the best ratings and I'll post it here. I have never used it but I hear great things about it.

Finally my 55H+ Cristaline came in the mail and you guys are right it's huge! I don't like the smell reminds me of someone who smelled like it. I also got the 55H+ soap so going to be trying that as well.

I'll be posting my results/progress

Lol... glad to hear you received yours. Which soap did you get? And did you get the glycerine or was it a lotion brand?

This is what I have found so far with Vitamin C serums, I'll have to look deeper though.

55H+ Exfoliating Purifying Lightening Soap With Carrot Oil & yes Glycerine one.

OK, thanks!

Trying to learn about the soaps

I have found the Fair and White AHA exfoliating soap to do wonders; so much dead skin sheds that you may need to clean your tub with each use lol, but it is a bit on the pricey side for $10 a bar. Good stuff though

OK I'm done with 55h+ lol its doing nothing for my face and neck absolutely nothing! Never in my life have a tried a product that didn't lighten my face and neck sooo I'm done! I have two big bottles of clycerin and the body lotion lol o god! Who wants it?? However, I do like the soap : )

Which soap are you using? And I'm sorry it didn't work for you. :( Hydroquinone doesn't work for me, so I understand your frustration of using a product where others see results and you see none. :(

Been using this cream called about time.. an amino peptide complex, 10,000 units of vitamin e, vitamin c and alpha hydroxy... works fantastic.. omg most of my black spots are clearing in less than two weeks... my mom was shocked.. works great.. I am now mixing it with fair and white serum and fair and white whitenizer gel on my face for lightning.. works great and using a vitamin c toner and taking fish oil and vitamin c pills... still waiting on my chystalline.. after all the stories of people breaking out, I def won't be putting it on my face.LOL.

Sorry to hear you didn't see any results.. did you see any results on your body using the cristalline? I plan to only use it on my body.. scared of getting breakouts since it took me like two months to clear the cystic pimples I got from putting movate on my face one time by accident.

Does the vitamin c toner give you a certain undertone? Like what does it do exactly?

Gives you a natural glow immediately after you put it on... can feel a little sticky though.. smells great. Helps improve your skin tone.. I apply a vitamin c moisturizer after and I take vitamin c pills. Makes your skin look healthy and clears imperfections.. love it.. I don't think it alone will give a huge difference but combined with a great regimen, it will improve your skin a lot.

Brwon deceit did the fish oil pills lighten your skin or only get rid of the acne? I am taking them right now.. love it.

I didn't use on my body only on my face and neck and I seen no result! The lotion did work a little on my body though. And I'm tired of typing the name of the soap I'm using its right there in the intro post OMG lol
