I've been warning all of GS against that cream ever since I've joined :) that "miracle" cream that claims to make u fair does perm damage to u're skin.

mod girl bleach cream
ALL go into it..most of them contain steroids that thin-out the skin and give the illusion that u've become fairer..when all it is is tiny blood vessels visible from the surface of u're skin.
DO NOT apply this cream.. unless u want perm blotchy/black marks that no amount of micro-derm can correct. It destroys several layers of u're skin.. and u won't get the same texture back.
Try a couple home remedies in the Glowing Brides thread.. they take time but are effective.. u may also see u're derm and get a lightning gel.. such as HQ..
