Hi markus. I ended up ordering from the site you suggested, whiterskin.Com. Received my order within 3 days of ordering and have been on the cream for about 3 weeks. I'm glad you suggested this one since it does work quite well at brightening up the skin. I am not really using it to lighten acne scars, but more or less just get my face a little lighter and not as dull. In 3 weeks ive been hearing my family and freinds telling me I look different and prettier. If they only knew the secret huh? Again, thanks for the suggestion and I am glad to say I finally found a product that works! :d

I tried amira cream, it works but except it's very small, like 1.5oz, and it costs $45 so I definitely can't use it for my whole body. I ordered awanshine lightening products @ skin-so-fair.Com. I haven't received them yet. If I do i'll post the results.

There's this prescription called nuquin. It really works, but your health insurance may not cover it. It costs around $56-60. I used it on dark marks from facial acne, and it cleared my skin.



Unfortunately, I may need it again once my pityarasis rosea and whiteheads start to clear in the next few weeks. Oh dermatologist!

I have had really good luck with porcelana. I had results within 3 weeks. The jar said three months, but it worked fast for me. I guess it depends on how bad the darkening is. I had dark spots on my cheeks, nose and chin and they are pretty much gone. You can no longer see them when i'm not wearing makeup. I used esoterica forever and it did nothing.. I really like porecelana. You can get it at any pharmacy. I got mine at walmart. Good luck!

i'm currently using porcelana to go to sleep and skin sucess fading milk for going out in the day (because it has sunblock). I've only been using it for 5 days and I already see a different in my skin. It could be that my skin is light to begin with, so I would suggest it for anyone with light-tanned or medium skin. It could work for dark skin but the difference might not be noticeably. Oh yea, and I had a scar on the back of my leg, it's been 5 days but it's definitely faded a lot. Hopefully it'll fade completely. You can buy both of these things in walgreens or a drug store. I trust what drug stores sell more than what the internet sells.

I'm using this cream from ksa. My friend introduced it to me. People have beeen complimenting my improved skin tone 4-5 days after 1st application. I use it on my face (before sleeping), my elbows, knees, arms, underarms, and neck. I also think my skin has become lighter. It's very affordable and it should be because i'm on a budget.And btw, it's also a great deodorant.

Guys, this whiterskin cream is nothing short of amazing. I bought it just to lighten some areas, but its also helping a great deal to give my overall skin tone a nice glow. It has completely taken care of any small imperfections. I know I sound like an ad for this product, but I am so happy I tried it.

i'm sorry for the very delayed reply. It's like amira/angel sue but a lot cheaper. The active ingredients include chamomile and beeswax. I get it from a friend and is way cheaper than angel sue and amira.

Amira Cream
Is magic cream a safe product to use during pregnancy? Can't seem to find materials to support this on the internet.

Sorry to bring up this old thread but I wanted to know if anyone else had some experience to share. I am using the whiterskin cream (now called melederm) and it has lightened the spots leftover from my acne quite a bit but not 100%. I have been using it religiously for several months so I am wondering if they will completely dissappear or if this is the most they will fade. If anyone has used melederm to lighten their dark spots completely, please tell me how long you used it, what other products you used and anything else that can help me.

Great Skin Lightening Tips
Lightening agents:


hydroquinone: inhibits melanin production when applied to the skin. The effect is reversible by exposure to ultraviolet light

hydroquinone in 2% solutions is used in many skin lightening greams and gels to remove freckles, age spots, and other hyperpigmented areas of the skin.


Sunscreen should be used while using hydroquinone.



Hq should be discontinued if no improvement occurs within 4-6 months.


Hydroquinone when used in high concentrations may bring ochronosis, in which the skin becomes dark and thick.


If irritaion occurs discontinue use




kojicacid:

kojic acid was first discovered in japan in 1907 and is used as an alternative to hydroquinone. Kojic acid is not an alpha hydroxy acid, but uses the same mechanism of action as hydroquinone. Research shows kojic acid to be an effective lightening agent that inhibits the production of melanin (brown pigment). Kojic acid is less irritating than hydroquinone.


Its low risk of oxidation creates a more stable product, resulting in a longer shelf life.


Azelaicacid:

although azelaic acid was initially prescribed for the treatment of acne, it has been successfully used in the treatment of lentigines, rosacea, and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is prescribed topically as a 20% cream and has been combined with glycolic acid (15% and 20%). Its efficacy has been compared with hq 4% in the treatment of facial hyperpigmentation in dark-skinned patients. The combination formula reportedly was as effective as hq 4% cream, although with a slightly higher rate of local irritation.


Some other skin lightening agents include mequinol, arbutin, mulberry, licorice extract, vitaminc etc.


Tips for skin lightening:

1. Make a paste of pinch of turmeric and a tablespoon of milk powder in two tablespoons of honey and the juice of half lemon.Apply it on your face and leave it till it dries and then wash your face,your skin will feel smoother and brighter.


2.Mix equal equantities of lemonjuice and honey, apply it on your face.Do this daily, this will
produce good results after 4weeks of continued use.


3.Apply cucumber juice to your face, leave it on overnight and wash off.Leave the skin on when making cucumber juice,it will lighten your face.


4.Use fullersearth once a week to lighten your skin.


5.A diet of onion,cucumber improves complexion, also take one tablespoon of honey which is rich in b-complex.


6.Mix one cup of buttermilk,with the juice of one medium sized fresh lemon and one grape fruit apply on the face at bedtime, wash your face in the morning.This is excellent for skinlightening
and also useful in get rid off melasma.

7.Mix one tablespoon of olive oil and one egg yolk,apply it on your face,after 20min wet a towel with water and start massaging the skin,then wash your face ,dry skin and apply moisturizer.

Your skin will glow with a lightening effect.

age 43. light medium brown coco complexion. no skin issues until 38 after cone biopsy for stage one cervical cancer/ HPV- then, all hell broke lose. been battling this issue for five years. researched ph imbalance recently. Purchased Body Rescue which is an alkaline based food supplement. took it for 4 days along with vitamin K. break outs stopped immediately. still take in a glass every night but now dealing with dark blemishes on face and neck. the last 3 days I have been placing vitamin C paste on face and neck and leaving on over niight ( food based only its a green fine powder) and the scars are diminishing rapidly. Body may have been too acidic based on research. Check ph balance and vitamin k deficiency. good luck!/

Try Belo
hi! i suggest you try the services of Belo. I know they're not as affordable as others but their treatments and products work. You can try to get a bodyscrub with bleach. It's only for 2240 per session. You can try their GLG tablets with lipoic acid or their Intravenuous glutathione. They also have creams that are medicated for whitening. Very Happy

You can also try the Belo Essentials. It's a new line of whitening products and they are super effective and way affordable. Try the soap, lotion and facial wash. I think they're already available. Very Happy
