Hi abbycute,
If you don't mind my asking, why did you stop using Fair and Flawless? I've read others say it was way too expensive, or that results were not consistent (as I believe member MAHARANI stated in other threads). Did you feel the same way?
I took a look at the Tonique website, and it appears they sell mostly the same products as Fair and Flawless. I say this because some information from the Tonique website is EXACTLY the same as from the Fair and Flawless (F&F) website. Here are some examples:
EXAMPLE #1: Customer service information
Link from Tonique:
Tonique Skin Care-All Natural Skin Whitening Products
Link from FNF:
Fair and Flawless | Customer Service
I notice the language is identical, except it says "Tonique" instead of "Fair and Flawless" where applicable, or vice versa.

------------------------------
Sorry for such a long post, but I just wanted to illustrate my point that I think Tonique and Fair and Flawless are the same company, except F&F has a larger product selection? Although in some, if not all cases, the prices are lower at Tonique than F&F. Also, maybe one "notable difference" is the strength of the whitening gel. It's labelled as "10x" for Tonique vs. "5x" for F&F. And maybe Tonique doesn't fill subsequent orders with "diluted" products?
I'd appreciate thoughts from you, as well as current and former F&F users.
Also, on a side note, some F&F products are also sold in South Africa as "Pure Perfect" (website:
Pure Perfect - Lighter with Confidence). This site gives more straightforward information to the consumer about what to expect, including possible symptoms, when using the products.
Thank you, and continued success with your skin lightening efforts!
