It all depends on how much you want to lighten your skin. If you only want to go 1 or 2 shades lighter then i suggest using natural products such as licorice extract, uva ursi extract, crush some niacinamide ( a vitamin) put it in your bottle of lotion or some liquid vitamin c.
These are all natural skin lighteners and theyll be more potent and cost you a fraction of the price of all that garbage on the internet. Those people are just triing to make money off you.
Licorice extract and uva ursi extract are the most commonly used skin ligheners in most brand name products. But theyll charge you 50-80$ for one small bottle of this stuff. And they purposely make it weaker so that youll have to keep buying more. When for 10$ you can buy a bottle of pure uva ursi or liccorice extract and make your own lotion much stronger and cheaper and better than theirs!:eek:
Yoou can buy everything i mentioned at whole foods in their supplements section. or any health food store or if you dont have ANY health food stores around you can order it from the internet for dirt cheap prices.
I am using Benoquin only because i want to lighten my skin more than just 2 shades lighter.
benoquin is dangerous to 25% of the population who are alergic to it. The other 75% (which thank God i belong to ) It will completely dipigment anyone of even the darkest skin color in about 6 to 8 months. Any other products on the internet will take 2-3 years for a person of dark skin.Its really strong, thats why people are so afraid of it.
But the majority of people who use it won't encounter that problem. You also have to be very carful to stay out of the sun while the lotion is on your skin and/or use a good sunblock . I am using it in the winter, when im mostly covered up and indoors anywayand the sun is weaker when it is shining.
i will probably only use it for 2-3 months because i dont want to be completely white. I want to be in the middle. like i said before what took other products (Ex. licorice or uva ursi extract) 1 or 2 months to do benoquin has done in a few days. Thats why its perscription. it doesnt make your skin white over night like some people suggest and it does not induce vitiligo in normal people as long as you spread it evenly over your whole body.But it works much faster than anything else, period.
Thoes are just scare tacktics. I believed them, thats why i havent used benoquin until now. But i got alot of information about it, and decided to try it.
If your allergic youll know right away. Because the skin gets darker from it instaed of lighter.
Anyway if you have anymore questions you can ask, and if you only want to get a couple shades lighter try the uva ursi and licorice extract, they work well for that.
