My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks - Page 5

I have used the Neoceuticals Skin Brightening Gel at one point for 3 months and it worked wonders, gives me that glow from a mile away no kidding. It contains: kojic acid, citric acid and Vitamin C along with glycolic acid (an AHA), lactic acid (an AHA) and gluconolactone (a PHA). For anyone looking for a brightening product, this is one of the best money can buy.

This is something I'm unfamiliar with. I wouldn't've tried it with all those acids but if you say it is that good, that's a ringing endorsement. Do you think it could be a mild alternative to those too sensitive for peels (due to RA usage or plain old sensitivity)?

LightenNLift · 09-26-2009, 12:36 AM

all these acids are in very mild concentrations and some of them such as lactic and PHA act as moisturizes in these low concentration, it exfoliates the skin like retin-A would but for those people who are sensitive to RA they can use this for a brightening effect. All these acids increase cell turnover rate beautifully.

You may just have revealed a great alternative to RA! It might also serve as a 'bridging' product to help skin ease into RA use or even a nice boost before an event.

2day i bought the likkas papaya soap in an asia shop for just EUR 2,40. I hope I will get as good results as you, Jose!

Will have to check this out!

Has anyone heard from Jose recently? His results within a short time were really good. I wonder how his results have progressed now after several months later?

Can someone please advise....should I use Neo Strata Pigment Brightening Gel together with their Renewal Cream (which contains rectinoids) or Retin A from other sources??

Neostrata and the Renewel cream seems very promising from reading the ingredients. Seems like the main difference would be the prices.

Really? How long did you use it for and how is your new regimen coming along?

nikesh · 10-19-2009, 07:08 AM

I used the noestrata for abt 5 wks. There was no significant change. The one i tried was w/O hq. There are some strange but exciting changes taking place with my new regimen. My outer skin colour is still breaking up.There is some peeling going on as well. My skin is definetely softer. I always had a problem shaving, now its a breeze, lol. It has been 19 days so far.

stickyhoney · 01-13-2010, 07:57 PM

great thread thanks jose

Jose · 01-18-2010, 10:35 AM

You're welcome everyone

My face is still not totally clear but I'm still using the Likas and Neoceuticals Skin Brightening Gel and would continue to recommend them. They haven't cleared me up totally but have done a much better job than anything else I've ever used to clear me up. Just remember to use sunscreen/subblock and you should be fine.

This is the most recent pic I have of myself (I'll try to have more up soon):

That looks like a Photoshop job wth the purpose of selling the soap. I work with Photoshop and can see the difference in the contrast from one photo to the next. Few photo filters will do the job. One photo is superbly sharp and the other somewhat faded. In reality, no product will lighten the pigment of the skin over 4-5 days. Only a skin peel and it has to be quite deep. Even with that it takes few weeks to see the results. Beware of people trying to push a product that they have vested interest in. Do research on each product and don't get fooled by the low price. If these people can get 100 of us to buy at $10, there they have made $1000 for something that probably cost only a buck to prepare.

Jose · 01-19-2010, 12:43 AM

I don't even know how to use photoshop, nor do I have it on my computer (at least, not that I'm aware of).

I can assure you I have only spent money on these products and have not gained nothing whatsoever in return except amazing results. So if anything, I must be one terrible businessman being that I've only technically "lost" money on the products I'm supposedly selling yet I continue to endorse them. And let's not forget the fact the only 2 products I'm still on (Likas and Neoceuticals) have absolutely no affiliation with one another.

Also, if I were trying to get over, don't you think I'd have a website to promote? All I've offered were products. I even started with some that didn't work so well and ended up with some that worked better. Even stated in my last post they cleared me up well but not 100%.

Why would I promote products while saying they didn't totally clear me up at the same time?

Don't even answer that, just skate on out of this thread unless you have something intelligent to add next time.

I just ordered the soap. Been using Meladerm for the past 12 weeks to fade my melasma. It has helped a lot already but my skin tone is still noticeably uneven (I have very fair skin). I'm hoping that the soap will speed up the process. Currently also using "Clinique Even Better" as a daily moisturizer and applying a 40+ sunscreen religiously !
I'm not willing to use harsh products on my skin so Im hoping that a combination of different milder products will do the trick.
Will keep everybody posted.......hoping to get my skin back in about 6 months to a year (patience, patience, patience !)
