    The Pursuit for whitening products that DO work
    Hey everyone! I have been on the pursuit for beautiful fair skin. Not porcelain white but even tone, freckle free skin. So, if you have tried or are currently trying some products right now, do update us. NO FALSE TESTIMONIALS here. So lets go down to business. :)

    Right now, I am on my 14th day of my 3,000mg glutathione regimen. I guess I did lighten up a shade or 2 but the freckles on my arms have become more noticeable. :mad: So, I started Godiva products 7days ago. The deodorant gave me bad allergies. I had to use a steroid cream on my armpits for 3 days. Sucks! I am using the Godiva whitening cream on my arms but I did not see any effect. There goes its 7day promise. But I will try all thse products for 6 months.

    Godiva creams are not effective and it can cause burning when exposed on sunlight. Their products were derived from fruits which can exfolliate dead skin cells but AHA can make your face thin and sensitive to sunlight. It is not a good product. Better think before using it or used a sunblock just in case you are dying to use it. In my case, I do not use sunblock because it makes my skin oily or greasy during daytime so I go for a cream that has uv protector in one.

    Pao
    Hello Pao. For how long were you using Godiva & which products have you used so far? I bought the skin whitening lotion, cream, deodorant, sunscreen & soap. I think I like the soap best. It whitened my face but I am very extra careful with my body. I only use body washes because my body tends to dry more easily. So far, the whitening cream has not fulfilled ANY whitening for me & I am already on my 8th day.Same goes with the lotion.

    A friend of mine emailed me yesterday that while doing her shopping in Greenbelt, Manila, she bumped into this actress who was buying tons of this tablet, ph 338. She then asked the owner of the store about it & the he claims she has been buying them by the bulk since 1999. She has gorgeous skin! Has anyone heard of this ph 338? Anyone tried them?

    I have brown complexion. Light brown. Chinese-Filipino-Spanish with freckes on both arms. I got my glutathione from www.magicpotions.com. I think they have the best price so far.

    I got mine from www.magicpotions.com. So far, I haven't noticed ANY side effect but I have been using it for just 15 days. I hope that in 3 months or so, I would be 4 shades lighter! :D :D :D

    Noon 2 Vitamins USA (500mg each) & 1 1000mg Vitamin C

    My update
    Going 3 weeks & still the 2 shades I have lightened. I don't know if I will lighten more but I will continue still for 5 more months. :o Who knows? Anyway, the Godiva whitening cream has not been effective & I have finished my started kit already & opened a bigger Whitening cream just in case. The freckles on my arms look darker now that the other parts have whitened. Anybody knows what product I should try to get rid of these freckles? Do help. If you have started new products or have heard of nice prducts, do tell & we will try them all! :D :D :D

    depigged skin
    any info I give will be irrelevant, I LOVE the porcelain white skintone and that's what I'm after, most (okay all... lol) tell me I'm mad for wanting to go so extreme (I'm already very fair being mixed race = where most here whitening their skin would like to be), but I'd rather go all the way properly - rather than spend £$++ on something that lightens me no shades at all. (or marginally)

    I don't know if any OTC whitening cream can get rid of freckles. You probably need laser to do that. Some people are saying the new herbal inn is good, maybe give it a shot.

    Thank you. My freckles have really become noticeable. I guess glutathione doesn't work on freckes.

    Hi! I heard you have been experimenting with monobenzone. So how was it? TEll us your experience. Everybody here has tried a lot of products to whiten their skin & your opinion is highly appreciated.

    Finally A Product That Works!
    Dimples,

    Have I Got The Potion 4 You. I couldn't help but to feel for you about your problem of not being able to find a product that brightens/evens out your skin tone. I was just like you a few years ago. Since I have very fair skin, every time I get a blemish, it shows. I got tried of covering up blemishes with make-up so I hunted for years for a cream that would fade away my blemishes and nothing ever worked.

    Esoterica didn't work, Cocoa Butters didn't work, Godiva Skin Whitening products didn't work (which was a total joke), among others. I even went to a top dermatologist who whipped up a special batch just for me with 4% hydroquinone (a skin lightening agent) and I was saddened when after months of using it, THAT didn't even seem to work.

    I was really frustrated, that is, until I found "Palmer's Skin Success Eventone Fade Milk". It is manufactured by E.T. Browne Drug Company, Inc. It has 2% hydroquinone that safely, and effectively fades away dark marks for an all over body even skin tone.

    I noticed a difference in just 3 DAYS! All my friends complement me on how lovely my skin looks now. I can honestly say that I will never again use another fading product. Since it's made in the form of a lotion in a tall 8.5 oz. bottle, it lasts for months! It is very inexpensive at only $8.60 per bottle. Just apply it in a thin layer twice a day and you'll be blown away!



    HERE IS THE LINK:

    Please go there, try the product, then let me know how everything goes.
