I've been using 4% hydroquinone with ra along with bio clair cream and oil and steroid betanovate with clobastol for 11 weeks my pih has not lightened 1 bit.you can see my pics in my other threads,how long do I have to carry on ,is it time to qwit ?
WHAT SHOULD I USE NEXT .im craig davids colour ,my pih is from old spots and shaving burn from 5 years ago
Honestly by now you should actually have seen the diffrence.
So maybe its time to try a different brand or product.
Like what?
Retina... to peel... then a hydroquinine based product,with everything use a sunscreen.. exfoliate... twice a week space you exfoliations out... three to four days apart,don't forget your sunscreen firstly you'd be using hydoquinine and Retina sunscreen,sunscreen sunscreen become religious about it OK.
And if they don't get better after that hey maybe it wouldn't be so bad to see the derm after all:-) godbless.
I've been using 4% hydroquinone with ra for 11 weeks.my derm is in the uk and says hydroquinone is dangerous so I bought it online hydroquinone is usseless junk,
Try licorice extract it works and works well hun.
You think the bio clair cream, oil and steroid betanovate with clobasto he used canceled out the other ingredients:confused: To me that's a lot to use at once!Quote:

From what I've seen of your pictures (nice smile by the way) the part your trying to lighten looks like a 5 o'clock shadow, the beard part right?Quote:

I'm looking at your pictures again and I still think it looks like hair hmmm. I don't know, just a close shave to make sure it's not.
But how can I be 100% sure.I do shave very close so you can't feel hair in any direction .
But even if it is hair why is the skin not lightening
I'm just trying to see if the hair is getting in the way of the creams and gels from penetrating the skin, can you lighten burn marks? Is that what is making your beard area dark?
Its not burns it old acne that left dark marks ,I'm close to giving in I've tried everything I'm really gutted
I think you should use it for at least 5month to fully know it doesn't work.. because I know someone who had a product and after 7month it brought her to where she wanted.. like rihanna... she was so happy.. BUT u have to continue or ull go back to your color
Have you ever picked at your ance? Maybe you have "stains":confused:Quote:

It looks red when finished and then goes away altogether. I would research it before I keep spending money on products that don't work. You may have already paid for the treatment buying products. It's worth investigating anyway.
@ LIVE1... 11weeks is crazy! You have some patience... if you're using any product and don't see something in 7days... max 2weeks, run:D trust me 2weeks is even pushing it for me... :eek:Quote:

7 days is an awfully short time frame to determine whether a product works or not. Some of the best products I have used have started to worked within 2 weeks times and I'm glad I didn't give up so easily.
Not again... good for you... remember people are allowed to their opinion here! :pQuote:

***color shade all depends on each person how fast the skin absorbs the products...
skin lightening is a technique if you don't have money to spend with high end skin specialist in the know.. THEN... you must know how to use what and what together... when and how... otherwise NO results even if you use the strongest stufff.... :p
Oh boy educating isn't easy, thanks god I am not a teacher:eek:
