lighten my skin

Post by sanctuary » Mon Aug 13, 2012 12:20 pm

One of the reasons why I'm interested in the Super Serum is because of its ability to lighten skin. But it turns out that I can't use this, I'm allergic to one of the Super Serum ingredients. Can you suggest some other products that have the ability to lighten skin?

Super Serum was about it for now. Some lightening might occur with regular exfoliation, though.

I have a few age spots to lighten unfortunately, so I've tried the products Karen recommended when emailing with her. Super Serum works but you have to use it consistently. Karen also suggested exfoliating with the Microdermabrasion Cream/Gel (I have sensitive, thin skin, so I exfoliate only once a week) and putting the Vitamin C Peptide Serum in the morning and the AHA toner in the evening. Dusting your face with SN Zinc Powder and using lots of sunscreen is also recommended. Summer is not the time to do skin lightening though.

I'm secretly hoping that Karen will eventually come up with a cream specifically designed for skin lightening. I've used some alpine buttercup extract made by the local pharmacist years ago with success, sadly he retired, that was great stuff.
