i bought this product because I keep hearing about BB creams, this says on the front of the bottle "whitening". what does that mean?

I don't really know except that it has lightened a dark spot on my face over the past weeks I've used it and my skin no longer looks blotchy... more even toned.

Means it has arbutin. Arbutin must be used consistently for a long period of time to show effects.

This cream contains arbutin, which helps to stop melanin from being produced. Melanin is what gives skin its pigmentation. For people who prefer their skin to be a little brighter, this product will achieve that as well as to help reduce appearance of freckles, dark spots and other blemishes.

for me, it hasn't necessarily made my skin whiter. don't let that scare you or anything. it just gives you an overall brighter complexion and to even dark spots with the rest of you complexion.

It's more of like helping you to get an even tone and whitening any dark skin spots than actual 'whitening. But, I would definitely look it up. There are plenty of sites and video that help explain that question with more details. Hope it this helped a little! I am still using it and I LOVE IT!!!!!

I just looked at my bleach syringe and it's 15% carbamide peroxide. This is "Professional" grade whitening gel. I originally got this product from my dentist, along with my bleaching trays. My dentist sells a 4-pack for $40, so this a great deal! I only purchase this gel from Amazon. A helpful hint: my dental office says to store the unused bleach in the frig, to preserve/prolong freshness. I hope this helps you.

It honestly is one of my most favorite creams on the market -- and I've tried quite a few. Results? I don't know. People say my complexion looks nice and have asked what cream I use. It is expensive, therefore, I purchase it rarely anymore.

It's only cosmetics, they are referring to the exterior of the bottle. Otherwise it's a color frost like coating on the outside.

Actually, I think the instructions are supposed to be in English on the authentic creams. See this blog post here. http://sugarreviews.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/fake-fake-fake-how-to-tell-if-your-skin79-bb-cream-is-genuine/ "#5 The text inside: Inside the BB cream box there should be 4 sets of instructions written in 4 different languages; English, Korean, Chinese and Japanese. The fake BB Box just has SKIN79 printed inside; I don't have any photos for this but I have checked and can confirm that both of mine have the instructions inside in 4 different languages." Were your instructions written in those 4 languages? Thanks!!! I'd like to buy this, but I am afraid of fakes.

The product seems pretty white to be. It's not diamond white but still deffenetly white. A worst I would say it's a bright cream.

I use the mouth guard option 2x a week, the rest of the day's I add some whitening gel on my toothbrush with my toothpaste. I still have more than half of the bottle left. hope my answer helped

Says it whitens but I don't see it, but I have very white teeth. It excels at getting between teeth.

Im not sure about BB cosmetics. I received th em from Enospring and they had good feedback from me.

I use Crest Pro-Health whitening or Crest Pro-Health clinical. Either one works for me. The disk is plastic or maybe vinyl and is in the center of the brush. I can't feel it but it works for me.

My bottle was not dated. The color was cream looking, and smelled fresh. I have been using for almost a month and beginning to see positive changes like brightness and softness in skin touch. Would invest in another bottle.

Dear Nightday, I didn't study or read about the brightening... What would help to know that it's not fully bio available when taken orally. Therefore, through IV or in suppositories it exerts its full potency as an antioxidant. BTW - what do you mean by" brightening", kind of whitening?

I used the product and really liked the results. I'm not sure but I think it's just a higher concentration of bleach.

For me it doesn't change my skin tone that much. I have both the light and the medium shades. (I'd normally be light/medium in other bb creams but Ponds only has Light OR Medium) I can wear either one alone, without any other makeup on, without my skin looking tan or off color. I sometimes just put on this BB Cream to take my daughter to the bus stop or if I have to run some errands and don't have time to apply anything else. I also use this as a primer under my foundation sometimes.

Even though it looks white in the jar, on my skin it looks translucent (racially I am white but not light skinned, more like medium) . it just smoothes all those lines, large pores, scars. and I always put makeup above it because I have discoloration.

I do not see that phrase on the bottle, but I know I read it before ordering. That said, I do not like the feel on my skin. I am pretty picky though.

one of their creams is light (super light by the way) and the one that say 'comfort' hydrating is the heavier of the 2. maybe theyposted an incorrect pic cuz they are def 2 diff creams.. fyi-- i use both... one in the am and the heavier in the pm.. sometimes though the am cream is not enough and i have to put another cream or serum with it.. hope that helps!
