Hey SH, would you please PM me your password. I would love to see your result can you just tell me exactly what you are using step by step please. The lightening process can be so overwhelming with all the products that are reccomended. But thanks so much for sharing and I look foward your PM, can't PM you because I just registered. I forogt password for my other account and system is acting wiered so I just re-registered.

Thanks a lot.

I'd love to see your pix too! congrats on your progress! definitely ignore the negativity.

my mom said that I was getting too light the other day! I'm like' Hellooo?!' She's much lighter than I am under her sun damage & on her body. craziness!

She won't use anything for her tanned parts because she's wants to 'stay darker..would never want to be that light again' but her dark color is only at extremities...her head, arms, feet etc. not all over...

I guess I know where I got some of my meshugaas from.

Congratulations on your progress! I didn't get to see the pics, but I am wishing you well.

That chart you posted made my head swim. I had no idea there were so many skin tones!

stickyhoney · 01-19-2010, 03:42 PM

hey guys im still taking pics to update i will do another update at the end of the month im hoping by then my ''demon neck'' will have lightened up some

using the 1% retin a on the outside of my face has worked so much to get rid of those toughened areas

I went through my makeup kit and all my makeup now looks dark on me my eyebrow pencil that was a dark brown which i often thought could be darker is now sooooooo dark on me it looks ridiculous

certain bronzers that used to only highight my brown skin now im lighter actually work as a bronzer

amazing lol

all of my makeup i will now have to change as very few of them actually work with the skintone i have now

im fine now though after i had my little vent

Thanks angel i really think its the face was i have been using in conjuction with the retin a i use Amazon.com: Obagi-C Rx System - C Cleansing Gel 6 oz: Beauty

the texture and clarity of my skin is so even and theres a brightness that comes from within not to sound cheesy lol but this stuff works!!!

Dang, that's one expensive cleanser. Is it really worth that much?

I got mine free when i ordered a bunch of obagi stuff one time from here
Obagi Skin Care Products - OBAGI SALE

try and look around on ebay see if they have cheaper deals but in my opinion it really is a great cleanser its a thick gel and it last sooooooooooooooooooo long

i use it with sometimes with my boot leg clarisonic brush lol

Radientskin77 · 01-19-2010, 10:51 PM

Hello. First, I would lillke to thank all for your imput and sharing the wealth! I am truly thankful!

I am a #118 or 120 in the sephora link provided in previous pages... also I have minor acne scars on my cheeks that I sooo yearn to remove along with minor pigmentation and achieve MAYBE #110 or 115?.

I still have some tazorac, and I am looking into getting Hydroq 4 % , and obagi vitamin c serum 10%. Would you guys recommend the obagi nuderm along with the maxipeel as indicated above?

Thanks sooooo much for any impput!

stickyhoney · 01-19-2010, 11:17 PM

Radientskin77 are you using the obagi complete system? or just a few products?

Cleo · 01-21-2010, 08:36 AM

Radiantskin, you got me thinking. The complexion your aiming for has red undertones while the one you have has a yellow undertone. (according to the sephora canvas.) So my question is a general one: does the undertone of the skin change as well when lightening? Does anyone have experience with that?

stickyhoney · 01-21-2010, 12:16 PM

You cant change the true undertones in your skin if you red undertone then thats how you will stay only a lighter shade on top of the red undertone and vice versa

One thing i have seen is very dark skinned women who bleach try to get there skin to have a yellow undertone and they think by getting lighter and lighter it will happen they just end up with the bleached look

Thanks for the recommendation stickyhoney..i just purchased it from amazon...hopefully it works well for me

stickyhoney · 01-21-2010, 01:56 PM

yay mooyou!

I hope you like it make sure your face is nice and wet as a small amount is all you need for it to lather up nicely

TimelessSun · 01-21-2010, 04:10 PM

You can always set up a password protected photobucket account if fotki is ging you so much trouble.

Radientskin77 · 01-22-2010, 01:18 AM

Thanks guys for your input ! I was thinking the same thing, stickey honey; I do seem to have more of a yellow undertone though I do have also pinkish too.. i would like to add my picture but dont know how to add it since i am a newbie! (I guess I am similar to Jennifer lopez, and Mariah Carey tone).

Stickey honey, I am currently using Tazorac for the past week and also vit c drops. I did order obagi nuderm kit (travel set just to test it since it's expensive).... and once it's here i will be all over it! My concern will it improve my minor acne scarring on my cheeks?

Yes if you are using retin a then that will definitely help in improving the appearance of acne scarring

Remember with retin a you look worse before you look better so stick with it

You will have to be consistent with it i have used a few products from the range and i liked the products

to getthe HQ cheaper theres always ADC i havent used there generic version so i cant comment but lots of other people have and said it worked for them
