I usually see fast results. Like in 1 to 2 weeks and its fairly noticeable only using 2% Hydroq- whatever...​

 

[xxCutiexx]

do you get darker again if you stop using hydro?

 

[daiyumi69]

only if i go back out into the sun. It's hard to resist... I love warm weather and most of the time I forget to put on sunscreen. But I get darker in the sun no matter what. So I'm back to using it again!

For me, it's really hard to see results. that's cuz I'm really dark.

b/c of me being dark and i live in the south (its a 102 down here with a heat index of 110)
it takes me a little bit longer i would say about 2 to three months but when i do its about 2 to three shades pending how much sunblock i use and how often

swttee71, what state do you reside?

 

[swttee71]

i live in louisiana

 

[daiyumi69]

swttee71 I live in Texas. we're right next to each other!

it gets just as hot w/ the sun so i know what you are talking about. its kinda like its no use... i try to use sunblock everytime i go out though.

 

[swttee71]

cool. dirty south in the house
yeah during the summer months i always lose the color that i work 9 months to get pretty brown skin with yellow undertones
only to lose it three months later b/c of the heat
i think i need a stronger sunblock b/c my coppertone is not helping me

[swttee71]

[vtoodler]

Do you think SPF 20 is good enough?

 

[swttee71]

spf 20 didn'thelp me at all
i swim alot so i need at least 30 or 45

I seriously need some swimming lessons. I won't drown or anything but when I try to swim I don't really go anywhere! LOL! I pretty much stay in the same spot looking like a fool!

 

[swttee71]

lol i cant stay in the same spot when i swim unless i'm in the shallow end of the pool

 

[vtoodler]

I know, when I swim, I make a bunch of noise and waves but no moves.

I wish that I could use SPF 45, but that stuff makes my face really sticky. I don't like putting a lot of stuff on my face.

 

[swttee71]

can you use the spray on kind

I have used a mix of kojic acid and glutathione products in 4 weeks, with no drastic lightening. I have just been more yellow/olive toned. I am brown skined with yellow/red undertone. So the products should work on my skin because i have brown skin and not black skin. Most of the skin lightening products works on brown skin. I will give the products more time.
