I hope that someone would kindly answer my question regarding steroid use

Have all the members that speak so highly of hydroquinone and natural lighteners used steroid in the past?
I feel like from what I've read, the ones who have lightened successfully with hydro had previously lightened to a lighter complexion with steroids in the past which probably made it easier for them to maintain or get lighter with hydro and or natural lighteners? Im seriously asking because I want to make the right regimen that correlates to a REALISTIC goal, not waste my time and money on a regimen that won't ever work. Please understand I am really seeking advice since this is a forum for lightening and receiving advice and I haven't gotten any as of yet
thank you.

Hi Hina and fulan. I've tried this regimen for a week and nada. I wonder if lola was really using something more potent she didn't elaborate on which soaps sheactually used. I uses nadinola with a 50/50 mix with dermovate 0.05%. I am seriously starting to wonder if this site is just filled with "members" who push products because the few times I've posted something critical no one responds.the thread just starts to disapear.Peace out.
Hi bottom line I'm sorry to hear that you aren't seeing any progress. I understand your frustration and I too have made an additional thread asking for advice or help and yes I have recieved select new and experienced members who are willing to give advice. I say just continue to do your research and try things that will work for you then remain consistent sometimes we just have to try for ourselves and can't be mad, that will only delay our own progress. It is our body at the end of the day so we need to do the work if we can't find Any assistance. Anyways I'm going to try a few more regimens (I stick to them for about a month or so and if I see very minimal or no result I go on to something new) what I'm using now is giving me result although very little if you want to know I am already brown skin and in the morning I use glytone at night I mix my steroid H20 jours cream the aloe vera one, skin light, and maxi light oil (the oil really just so it can spread easily) and it has lighten me about half a shade on my body over a month. I will keep you posted on my new regimen. I'm starting tomorrow because this regimen result are too slow

It also doesn't help that everyone doesn't have the same skin type so what may work for the others on this forum may not work for you. I have really understood that when I tried kojic acid because of all the rave and positive feedback I ordered it for a whole month and darkened really badly. As soon as I stopped I started using goat milk soap and starting to lighten back to my original shade and had a beautiful glow and it moisturizes me so well unlike kojic which dries me out.

I understand hun. I'm in the same boat. I've seen minimal change in complexion if any with my steroid I was using. I recieved my new steroid cream today the l'abidjanaise steroid cream. I hope this works ill be using it w a tiny bit of maxi light oil on my body for a month once or twice a day ill see how my skin reacts to it twice a day first sometimes I need break to let my skin repair. Ill keep you updated
