Sweet Tee, you seem to be using a wide variety of products. B4 I can comfortably critique it, I'd like to know what exactly you are trying to accomplish. Are you brightening your complexion a little to get a 'glow' as opposed to really altering its colour? Are you trying to lighten dark patches or acne scars to even out your tone? Are you going for overall lightening? A lot depends on your final goals. One thing's certain, though; you need to add in a good sunblock.

Ondine,

I am trying to lighten by two shades or more if possible.
For my sunblock I am using Solbar...SolBar, Sunblock - Coolibar Inc.

All of your thoughts are welcomed.

Bump! Bump!

This looks like a good regimen for lightening two shades but try to get a European Sunblock that has state of the art sun protection, look at the European Sunblock thread in this skin lightening department, they are listed. I think these will lighten you 2 shades, these product ALL inhhibit melanin, the neutrogena especially has retinol and soy which really helps, the AHA and apricot exfoliates away the dead cells gently which is enough for your skin and the Nadinola helps with bleaching. I estimate that it will take you two to three months to get an even 2 shades lighter if you stick with it. If it doesnt work by then, then start using Retin-A 0.05% cream along with nadinola for quick results.
