My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks

I just want to take the time to thank everybody for the advice. Freddy, Ondine, and everyone else. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

I did some research on my own and found a product

It's called Likas Papaya Soap

Less than $10 including shipping

All these years I've had my time wasted by dermatologists. And don't get me wrong, I'm sure some meant well but when it balls down to it, most of them wasted my time.

I am in no way shape or form advertising anything, I'm simply saying what has done a good job for me. My face isn't totally clear yet but I've seen results already and I've only been using the soap for 4 or 5 days now.

I may be jumping the gun here, who knows. But from my experience, when something works right away, it's probably the remedy you should stick with.

If I have any problems whatsoever, I will be sure to inform you all.

Once again, thanks to everyone.

God bless.

Edit:

I'll do my best to have some pictures up soon

I'm here to help people whose lives were made a living hell due to this condition, like mine was

I got the soap in the mail on Monday I believe. Maybe Sunday, I dunno. But it has definitely been less than a week.

Re: My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks

I'm so happy for you Jose! This is the best result I have ever seen in a product and it's a soap WOW ! And you only washed your face with it? I mean did you need to leave it on your face for a while? and where did you find it?

Likas Papaya Soap

You can find it a lil cheaper if you really look but come on now

I left it on my face for a few minutes (no more than 5) before I washed it off

Re: My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks

Thanks for the link Jose, at $3.59 that is a bargain! It says blended with tropical herbs to whiten the skin. Does it say the ingredients?

Once again, Jose I`m glad that the product is working for you, but I was under the impression that the picture you put up was an older one that you said was when your condition in one of its worse stages. How was your skin actually looking five days ago

Re: My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks

Alot of difference. But the uneven skintones was still there, eventho its not as obvious as before. Ive heard about likas whitening soap. Its a soap to help in lightening but it could not diminish the pigmentation on face. It'll lighten it to the lightest. Why not using yanko? My mum using it, and it has done tremendous difference to her face. Anyway, what happen to your face till it turn out that way?

Jose! I was so happy when I saw your photo that I almost cheered out loud! Bravo for you: your skin is much improved. In another couple of weeks, your dicolourations will be a thing of the past. Thank you for sharing your source and for being brave enough to post photos like that.

Good point

I didn't take a pic 5 days before but my face was pretty much the same as it was in that pic being that I had stopped going to dermatologists altogether.

Ironically, it was medicines I was given by dermatologists that made my skin tone uneven. They cleared up my eczema for the most part and gave me dark marks all throughout my adolescence and adulthood thus far instead. I would've chosen the eczema.

And you're right, my face isn't totally clear yet. But I've only been using it for 5 days now. Today will be 6.

Re: My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks

I just purchased some papaya soap w/ kojic acid in it as well. I haven't received it yet though. Jose, how long did it take for your skin to get better? It looks great!

Re: My gift to those with uneven skin tone due to dark marks

I have heard that if you lighten your skin it will turn back darker than before after a while....if this true??? I am new to this whole thing and am looking to get rid of acne scars.
