Hmmm just come across this post and was wondering which one of the "best" ones is suitable for the face?
Im asian but my skin has darkened like 5-6 shades over the months and I don't know how (I don't like to stay in the sun for more than 5 minutes!) =O and its ruining my life! My neck (or body) doesn't match my face so can't wear nice tops that expose the skin without looking weird. Like litraly my face is black and body is really really light!
I want my natural colour back fast but I'm totally confused as to what to use and not I've tried the natural way but nothings working for me.
please help me =(

If you have not done this already the first thing you need to do is to invest in good sun care protection to maintain and promote your lightening.

Okay there are two types of neoprosone gel, can someone tell me which one is the best the reg or the one w/ the vitamin c? I'm thinking the one w/ the vit c , and I looked at the ingredients and it also has retinol which is good, the original one doesn't have retinol, has anyone tried both? I need some help!

I am going to start my review with the ones that didnt work and follow with the best ones.I will include pictures as well..HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE:)
Clair Liss:the first cream i used when i started bleaching,did nothing for me.it evened out my skin but didn't lighten me..please save your money---> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv..._2076_56223835
G&G(Orange Lid):Used this for about a month..waste of my time and hard earned money-------->http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_169919680
Topiclear:I wasted my money on this crap,used it for about two weeks and saw no change whatsoever in my skin tone---> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_207212276
Maxi light:Smells so good,but just like Clair Liss,it just evened my skin out,but didnt lighten it---> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_130603524
Clear & smooth(ORANGE) ..lightened me slightly after a while it stopped working--> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_231936280
Daggett & Ramsdell(facial fade cream)- money down the drain..will do nothing---> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv...2076_179425644
Fair & White(white bottle)It actually darkened me,made my skin blotchy..forget it-----> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...64823_s6-m.jpg
SH18 Skin Lightening :still don't know why i bought this one,it smells so bad and did absolutely nothing----> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...y%20Lotion.jpg
Rosance X18:I still dont get the hype about this one..used it for a month and half and did nothing for me
Hyprogel:Another Waste----> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...DSCF2803-1.JPG
NOW THE BEST ONES:
BIO CLAIRE:lighetened me a lot..I mean ALOT..but I stopped using it since it gave me stretch marks between my thighs that I am still trying to get rid of.I recommend you used it only for a short period of time and mix it with their oil it works much faster----> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/images/DSCF2867.JPG
AFRICAN QUEEN GEL:OMG!hands down the best gel I ever used. peeled an lightened me so well,but its so hard to find..if you want really quick lightening use this one..trust me..it works fast..its cheap too(mix it with a strong serum and you are good to go)--> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sterlingsilv..._2076_94864076
Fair & White(Blue bottle):very slow,yet gives your skin a beautiful glow and lightens OK!---> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...0Vitam%20C.jpg
Neoprosone Gel:Yes..did well for me..very fast too---> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/i...opro%20Gel.jpg
Vit Fee:An african friend of mine told me about it,she uses it and is so light,decided to get it and this one I used the longest, lightened me so well, I mixed it with their oil---> http://www.allbeautyessentials.com/images/vitfee.jpg
P.S. If you decide to use any of the"BEST"ones,I recommend getting a strong lightening serum(SUREWHITE is good) and mixing them together,it will make them work even more faster and don't forget to exfoliate!
There you have it..If you have any questions feel free to msg me.Hope this helps someone:)
OMG
You have given me the laugh of the year!LOL
I love the way you were ridding off those products that didn't work for you.It was so funny how you said it.
Thank you so so much for the advice.Its so generous of you.
Strange... my best friend uses G&G and it is her ''god''.Hmm...
I know about Fair and White Exclusive(Blue Bottle).It does work.Never used it but my aunty does and it is sweet on her.
I have used So White of Fair and White(Pink Bottle).It was so lovely on me.Used it with the serum and soap.
Tell me,what do you use to exfoliate?
Once more,thank you and please keep posting.

Hey... I forgot to say...
Bio Claire and Vit Fee... hmmm,guys... they contain steroids.If I were you,I will keep an ample space. I know many people who have used it and are fighting with stretch marks and they have thin skin at present! For real.. You want something that works without leaving you with a life time assignment!

Yeah they do that's why I warned them to be careful how they use.. I suggest for short term.. otherwise you will be stuck with ligher skin and stretch marks...

Guys!
I just read something now...
The lady advices that we do not use one product for more than 3 months in a row!
Use and after the 3rd month,switch!You can come back to it later.This method is said to yield more effective results.
What do you guys think??
Actually,I seem to agree with this.I have noticed that most times,I use a product and it stops working at one point.But when I stay away from it for a while,it works when I use it again.

OK so I have been reading this post... I've tried soooo many things, but it looks like my face has actually gotten darker than my body. I am kind of scared to use the neoprosone, because of it having steroids in it... Did anyone have any adverse affects after a while of use? I heard that it can give you acne, as well as affect your health... I would really like to lighten my face to be the same color as my neck and body, or maybe a little lighter... but nothing is working... can anyone please help?

Maybe you could try HQ/retin a it works very well for many people.
I think you should also start to use some lactic peel maybe 40% it lightens the skin and it is very gentle I love it!!
Good luck!
