How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I started with a medium skin color of NC35 or so...
I started with a medium skin color of NC35 or so which was mostly permatan, and looked dull and my elbows and the back of my neck were darker than my skin in general. I exfoliated with papaya soap as well as arbutin soap and a scrubber, and applied Palmer's body lotion and a lactic acid lotion for about 6 months while using a strong sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Then afterward I began to use tretinoin cream, hydroquinone gels from the beauty supply store such as IKB and Precious, as well as skin whitening sheet masks. I used Triluma on trouble spots as well. I used an Indian version of Triluma called No Scars from Ebay. I did this for 6 more months, using a high PPD rating sunscreen in the morning. Finally I have gotten my skin even and to a color of NC20 which looks great, I have a lot more confidence. Cheers, it takes a long time but it gets you back to your birth color regardless of your ethnicity, and is well worth it.
