    Can someone please tell me which skin whitening product really works?
    I’m a dark skin person and I wanted to know which skin lightening product actually lightens the skin. Is there anyone who was dark skin and used a lightning product and worked please let me know.

    Dark skin is cool, why bother lightening it? :)

    I found the product that works for me! I've been searching for about two years now for a product that worked for me! Countless hours searching through forums like this and doing my own research on chemicals. I hope all you ladies are reading this... because this product really does work. I've been using it for about a month now and already seeing my skin lighten by 2 shades. I paid around $200 for this... but I got a huge set of the product. The main ingredient in the lotion is Kojic acid, licorice, ascorbic acid (vitamin etc.). The lady selling this product has been selling it for years on eBay and has hundreds of repeat customers. Please let me know if you need more information or pictures of myself before and after.

    I've tried it all from skin whitening pills to "body bleach" and have seen little to no results. I was skeptical about trying this product but I'm glad I did because the skin on my face peeled within two days of using the lotion and black soap together.

    Just in case you're wondering I am Black and Native Alaskan, but if you saw me you wouldn't know I was native with the exception of my hair... I have always had uneven skin tones... but this lotion and face creame has even my skin toned dramatically and unexpectedly lightened my face by two shades (back to the color of my scalp!) I'm posting this message because this product works and I'm glad to share it with you. I'll be happy to provide more information...


    Thanks,

    What I've found to be very effective is bio claire with no hydroquione. I have wasted a lot of money on expensive products where most didn't work so who would have thought that an over the counter cream would work so well. It lightened my dark skin considerably in a short amount of time.

    Hey lovelee I just bought the bioclaire as previous reviews were good but recent posts have said that they got patchy skin. What is your experience with this, how long have you used it?
  • Sep 6, 2007, 08:33 AM

    Bio Claire works really well for the body, but I think it may be too strong for the face. I use the soap to shower, followed by the oil. I then finish with the body lotion. It's been just over a week and already my arms, hands, legs and feet are starting to even in tone and lighten.

    For my face, I just mix a little of the oil with my usual moisturiser. I'm only experimenting with the face because I think I want to try a different product for the face.

    Hey Monsoon
    Well I have been using it for about 2 months and I've seen a big difference. It did leave some parts of my skin patchy but it goes away in a few days. My neck had a light patch in the front and I panicked but a few days later it blended nicely. But I have to say that it lightened my skin considerably especially my arms and stomach the two places that were darker then the rest of my body. I would highly recommend this product, let me know how it goes.

    I'm Asian with brown skin. I've been using glutathione products and it's been the most effective yet. The pills take about a couple of months to work, but the whitening effect is all over. There are also gluta ampules you can use on your face but I haven't tried that. There there are the gluta creams and soaps, which are not as potent as the pills but will do for gradual whitening.

    The brand of soap I use comes from the Philippines, there seems to be a whole host of these products coming from that country.

    Since I've been using gluta (4 months), my color has changed from brown to fair (very light pale brown). I believe gluta will work for all skin types. It not only lightens but makes your complexion even and smooth. Uven my underarms have become even toned with the rest of my body. So with my knees, elbows and other parts.

    Any Glutathione that is Manufactured here in the US, Beware and do not buy glutathione from Asia, there are a bunch of fakes coming form these countries. They mix so much stuff with glutathione its scary.
  • Feb 12, 2008, 10:01 PM
    SweetThang89
    Thanks Carmen. I was thinking the same thing, so I told someone to get it from the US. I also read somewhere about taking glutathione injections directly instead of the pills, I wonder if that's better. Is it possible to inject it yourself or do you have to go to a doctor?

    I'm very unhappy right now. I used to have real even but very dark skin and just wanted to make it brighter. Used clearessence maxi tone range for a while and it gave me these faint patches around my eyes-i stopped using that and decided to use makari to remove the patches-now my face is completely messed up- I wish I could sue makari. My skin has at least 5 shades now. The patches are much darker and I'm just so sad. Let have the ebay's woman ID so I can do something about my face. Can I also see your before and after pictures? Thank you.

    Hey Ebony29

    I really recommend you stop using skin lightners and possibly see a dermatologist.

    You can probably start by getting a facial peel.

    Good luck

    I'm so sorry to hear about your results.
    When I used Diana Stalder I suffered from some dark patches also.
    What you have to do is if you're still using the cream, stop. Let your skin heal. Use extra virgin olive oil at night.
    Also, please contact your dermatologist.

    If u really want to lighten you are skin tone unifomly U should take L-Glutathione 1250mg and 1000mg alpha lipoic acid and 1000mg vitaminC in a day, and it is necessary to take L-Glutathione with lemon water with too much concentration. You have to take this for 5-6 months.In addition to it U can apply some type of topical solution also. But try to protect from sun even for 1 hour also. Me and my two friends have been using it for 2 months and it has shown us drastic results I have lightened my skin tone by 3 shdes but my other friends by 2 shades.I am a college boy and when I returned home everybody was astonished and started asking me that how did this happen.If u have any further queries mail me on ([email protected])

    I was in the beauty store, and this lady was talking to a friend of hers that walked in. She was complaiing about her scars, I was listening and she mentioned Rico Lemon Xtra. She said it works really fast. I was like what the hck it is really cheap so I bought a box. I have been using it for 5 days now... (seriously) my roommate said omg your skin I looking good... I was like are you serious. I have been doing nothing diferently. I know the product is on the banned list for contaig more hydroquinone that what the government allows, but who cares. I am starting to see the fading on my legs and a spot on my face already. It is largely a little bit of a diffrence but it has not ben a week yet.

    Try it! Seriously.

    Thank you so what works for one person may not work for the other, so its really a trial and error, you can't really say this and that don't work period because lightening creams work differently on everyone.
