So I’m in the UK and i cant seem to get my hands on any IKB gel and I can’t afford to buy from houseofbeauty because customs and taxes and shit. Any other gels i can use instead?

I haven't purchased off ebay in ages but do a search and u will see many sellers just inbox them and make enquires and if satisfied just go ahead and buy,don't be too paranoid about fake vs real it only complicates life!
@WaterBoy86 I’ve tried Lemonvate before and it did nothing for me, i can’t try Topiclear since I’m taking acetyl glutathione & liposomal vitamin c and apparently gluta and hq dont go together. The Gittel website is down but I’ll keep checking it.
Thanks though
why not try fair and white so white gel -
uk version - has kojic dipalmitate
using it for elbows and knees with good result. I do not use anywhere else so cant say much about using it on other parts of the body
@berrieheart yeah i used to get my ikb from them but I’ve been hearing they have fake stuff. Tragically. @lollybabe oh I’ve never heard of it. Is it evening out your elbows and knees?

You can buy from their uk website, the paris website don't have the tube. My mum lives in scotland so got it shipped to her when I was visiting. The shipping from uk to Ireland is 25 pounds, ridiculous.
I also saw it on paks website as well
It's really helping my area of hyperpigmentation (knees and elbows).
I know some mix it with their cream so it should be fine for body, I only use it for that specific area.
IKB isn't working for me anymore. Any other suggestions? The back of munch neck and face has darkened soooo much due to this summer being so hot. What can I do to take at least 2 shades off?
@2 toned, I will start with mild exfoliation ( i really love kojie san for this, I use it daily), pick a vitamin c serum as well, I recommend checking amazon for start make sure its at least 15% vitamin c, I use 20 - 21.5% vitamin C. Use a lightening face cream or cream gel for face (I am using fair and vitamin c whitenezer its a cream gel, but any other one should be fine), then SPF50 cream. You can also use a peel weekly as well, I use ordinary 30% AHA and 2% salicylic peel. I think exfoliation and SPF will really help u.
I have the same problem after summer, as I love the sun, I am probably the only skin lightener than still sun bath, but I keep duration short and use SPF. I love the sun, and no skin lightening me make me not enjoy the summer. So If I am darker in summer so be it.
Its slow without exfoliation on knees and elbows , so I had to use 30% ordinary peel - 2-3x a week. I will say started noticing result after 3rd peel, the ordinary peel doesn't actual peel the skin, I feel it soften the area to allow gel to work.
I finally cleared up all my acne via Accutane. I wanna buy IKB gel again today. Is everyone sure it’s safe to use long term? No nasty ingredients inside it? No dark patches/ hq like side effects?
@afroqueen are u still taking accutane? If so speak to your dermatologist whether is safe to use arbutin (Ikb main ingredient) whilst taking accutane.
