I asked and these are the two most consistent answers:
REVLON SKINLIGHTS INSTANT SKIN BRIGHTENER.spf 15
Yes, it's foundation. the colours are Warm Light, Natural Light , golden light and Pink Light. It's scarce though.

BARE MINERALS FOUNDATION. It comes in many flesh-toned colours and apparently is 'simply marvelous', and 'the best foundation there is'.

For uneven skin tone, one of them suggested you use any of these two.MELADERM did not work for her hyperpigmentation. She says she used FIVE jars with ZERO results. For such a high-priced product it's a 'bad product'  


@madmax, please help me out, where can i get the foundation.again, please girls i am planning on geting charisma night glow, ow gud is it?

@akwuakana
All these products are at amazon na. I either order them online or buy several months' supply when I'm out the country. When you find them locally they're usually unnecessarily expensive. A friend of mine has a service that buys products from the US and delivers to your door. It takes about a week to get anything you want to you. Website www.palemilion.com If you can't find them locally and you're in Nigeria, just use the service. 

@yjay
After all the creams and lotions that have been posted on this website?lol Try the Dove Richly Nourishing lotion on the previous page. It's specially for Dry Skin and moisturises wonderfully.

Any advice on how to get rid of 10lbs on my thigh, tummy and bum areas? Painlessly? I don't know where they came from.

Stillwater wants a good deodorant/antiperspirant.Recommendations?

Lol no dry skin. But I heard that Jergens works well.

Try Nivea, really softens the skin and keeps it soft. Try it in the store before buying it.

@Madmax, dont mind me jare! must ve missed it! ll check it out! many thanks! & for those body parts u mentioned ve u tried jogging especially for the thighs, i know water melon is effective for tummy reduction & the bum, y wld u want to reduce that???

@ FL,  thanks!

Good, pocket-friendly, safe, effective product.

ADULT ACNE AND BREAKOUTS
EFFECTIVE SOLUTION 2: Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel

Indications
Acne, Acne Scars, Blackheads/Whiteheads, Dry Skin, Sun-damaged Skin, Blotchy Pigmentation, Fine Wrinkles, Loss of Elasticity, Large Pores, Bumps, Age Spots, Eczema, Seborrheic Keratosis, Hyperkeratosis, Actinic keratosis, and Rosacea.

Directions:
Apply twice weekly for six weeks.

Hi ybab,

We all get these breakouts. They're ugly pimple-like things that leave distressing black scars behind. Don't worry. We're sticking with you until it disappears. Three things will get rid of them:

1. BlueMD - Dermatologist-grade Acne Blue Light Therapy Treatment
2. Salicylic acid ( a peel like the one featured above works wonders)
3. HQ+

You use Neutrogena and it's  a good product; it's non-comedogenic; it doesn't clog pores. Clogged pores can cause break outs.Going to bed with make up on can cause breakouts. Stress too, I think. No lotion on your face? You have to keep your skin moisturised. Many great great face creams have been featured in previous pages. Try Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating serum. Forget the soaps and cleansers that promise skin paradise. Cosmetic companies lie for a living or they wouldn't sell products.

You need to be using a peel weekly. You won't be sorry. Here's information on the peels there are. They're in bottles and you just apply with a cotton pad, wait a few minutes and rinse with water. After six applications your face is as spotless as silk.

Glycolic Acid peel: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25%  thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.

Lactic Acid Peel: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.

Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.

Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.

BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.

HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.

That smooth a face? I'm envious. You can't go wrong with the face creams people have reviewed in the previous pages. I highly recommend Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum. You can use it alone as a day face cream, or you can apply it and still apply any regular lotion you use on your face, over it. In the evening after cleansing your face, you can use either DERMA E HYALURONIC ACID NIGHT CREME, or OLAY REGENERIST NIGHT RECOVERY MOISTURISING TREATMENT.

These are products I use myself, having replaced the Philosophy skin care range I was using before, and they're not expensive.

The peels. Try Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel by Skin Laboratory. You can also add their HQ+ Gel Peel. I use their Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid peels. You can get them from AMAZON. The bottle is in its review above. Instead of facial cleansers, please use a mild soap with ZERO additives; no perfume or olive oil or aloe vera or anything but pure soap. They don't clean the face well, and deposit these additives on your face, which proceed to clog your pores, which results in bad skin after a while.

i wouldnt suggest using all those peels at the same time. remember those are chemicals and they will definitely dry out your skin if used continuously and at the same time and more problems may arise. you may want to be careful with  that, before you get more than you bargained for.
