Thank you, we need more of us on here!

Why does this feel like such a backhanded compliment

[@User-cb4jm]

@@luanasiros9480 I wish they phrased it differently but I understand that trying to find a skincare reviewer of the same gender and ethnicity as you can be very difficult for some of us. Sometimes you just want to see the product on the same type of skin.

Unnecessary

[@florenceashford6861]

So happy that I see Faded getting the love it deserves!! ❤ That pink tube is what legit saved my adult acne, I used to wear full-coverage foundation and it not only got rid of my spots but changed my skin texture. I have not touched my foundation in over a month, love Faded, love My Topicals, love this video, love you! 👑❤ (And yes, I nearly gagged the first time I opened the tube and took a huge whiff of it haha but I think I've grown a tolerance for it! 😅)

[@milliesoto5049]

Thnx for sharing. I just ordered mine from Sephora.

[@abbeysnails]

Does it help get rid of old scars or just new ones? I need my old ones gone! Mine (along with Butter) is getting to me tomorrow. I'm excited, but nervous to use at the same time. I just want my marks gone now. 😩

[@florenceashford6861]

@@abbeysnails okay this is gonna sound weird and I dont know if this is just with me but it actually got rid of my older scars first! Like, I had these two bad ones that took forever to heal from, I think around 2019, thought it would heal by itself and it never did! 😫 I tried healing it over quarantine, I put retinol and it didn't do much so I thought it would just be there forever and I'd have to do chemical peels. Girl. Just a few days ago, I was about to do my usual cover those spots with concealer and when I was about to put on, I looked and realized that the scar and discoloration wasnt there anymore! 😭❤ Only spots I had left were two that popped up during my cycle but other than that, it lightened the older, seemingly stubborn spots! I dont know if the retinol I put prior helped but it was basically me putting Faded after washing my face and applying a super gentle toner, then after Faded, a moisturizer (sunblock when needed), and that's it. I began at 3x a week, then 4. I know there are some who use it every other day or every day, which is safe but I only use it 4x a week maximum based on my skin tolerance. ☺️ I hope it works for you and you girls are as happy (or happier!) with the results as I am! 😘❤ Also, I havent tried Like Butter yet because I had moisturizer when I bought my Faded, but now I really want to! 💖 Let me know if you end up liking Like Butter! 🤗❤

[@abbeysnails]

@@florenceashford6861 Thank you so much for answering! Well that sounds great! It's my old scars that are giving me issue so this may be the product. I just received both products in the mail so I'll definitely come back to let you know about Lkle Butter! Thank you so much 💓

[@honeybydesign]

@@florenceashford6861 This comment needs to get pinned fr. Thank you for sharing your experience. Currently waiting for mine in the mail! When I say NOTHING really worked - I mean nothing. I went to dermatologists and everything prescribed burned my face. Other products just didn't work. I just bought some products from Good Molecules and have seen small improvements. I'm assuming with this product it'll add some speed. Just FYI for anyone reading, I've struggled w some dark spots not acne.

[@QueenKunta]

Thank you for this review! Just wanted to give a tip when using this product: use a glove! I noticed that after rubbing it on my problem areas, every step in the rest of my routine was polluted by the smell haha. My fingers smelled awful even after washing them. Tonight I used a glove for the first time to apply it and while my face smells rather eggy, my fingers don’t smell.

[@privvvmee359]

Does it still smell when you wake up ?

You're very knowledgeable. Probably the only man I'd sit and willingly listen to. I recently bought Topicals Faded cream and it smells so bad but the results make dealing with the scent tolerable. I also bought iNNBEAUTY Down to Tone Resurfacing Toner, which I use sparingly because it's has a lot of acids in it as well. Great video.

[@jessicat2304]

I’ve recently learned that melanocytes have different stages and the best ingredients to tackle before during and after. With this knowledge, lack you mention.. I’ve been able to tackle my PIH from every direction. I’m going to try this

[@LateefSaka]

Yes there are so many pathways to tackle, that's why it is important to have multiple layer approach - I talk about it here in more depth here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHnMhpyQgqprj7M

[@LateefSaka]

People can be so annoying lol, I don't mind people asking but when people say it definitively :/

[@cicim9008]

Using multiple products doesn’t necessarily increase your chance of clear skin. Less is actually best. The skin in is very sensitive and some ingredients don’t react well with others. Using multiple will actually slow your progress because your skin needs to take time to recognize certain ingredients before an excessive amount of other ingredients.

Hi Lateef, thanks so much for the helpful video. I was wondering, would it be okay to use this product as follows: cleanse, apply hyaluronic acid on damp skin, apply faded once skin is dry, finish off with the ‘advanced snail 92 all in one cream’

[@brianwilliams7594]

do you put it all over your face evenly or just on your hyperpigmentation?

[@LateefSaka]

It's up to you, as I said in the video, I prefer to targeted approach because I tend to get dark spots and don't want to waste the product

I waited like 1.5 months, I wasn't taking any chances. I stuck with hydrating and barrier repair products the whole time!

So I just watched this video and The GOW kojic acid and alpha arbutin review, Super informative! I'm trying to decide which one to get, do you think faded is worth the extra money or can I use the GOW one? I'm on my fourth bottle of the ordinary alpha arbutin & ascorbic acid serum. I have seen significant results but it's taken a lot of consistency & patience (over 2 years) so I want to try something different. Recently incorporated tranexamic acid from the inkey list.
