  • I would tell you that you're sexy , but I'm sure that gets old.

  • your*

  • thanks for all you videos!!!

  • TAEYANG- I NEED A GIRL

    quality musicc

  • I love what you said at the end! its so true <3

  • So use the nadinola for a week to jump start the whitening process then use skin white lotion? And the nadinola says use on dark spots do we rub it all over our skin? Or would that be too dangerous

  • I was thinking of buying Likas papaya soap, and went here for a review.

    I heard it is really good, but would you happen to know if it's permanent or wears off once you stop using it.:) Ta~~

  • this is SO helpful! thank u

  • it pronounce as lee-kas

  • This video was amazing! You really helped me understand what everything is because I was trying to understand just by reading information about it but I was still confused... I'm going to definitely buy the Likas soap because I've heard great things, its pretty cheap, and it seems completely unharmful

  • "Secret is, I am a lightening cream, antioxidant slut." LOL you rock

  • Who would want lighter skin? lol. I have pale skin... wtf. Is there a supplement I could take to give me more melanin?

  • @wellholyballs Nope, melanin does not increase in that way.

  • Fillipino stores got LOADs of whitening soaps and products

  • watch her "DIY cucumber & papaya soap" vid if you cant find the likas soap!

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd I live in canada and i can't buy the likas papaya soap online from amazon. it only ships to the states. And the SkinWhite lotion page "doesn't exist" where can i get these 2 items in Canada??

  • My skin is really really pale. Ugh. I wish I was darker.

    I'll never go for a tan or whatever... its soo not healthy for the skin and it looks unatural.

    I prefer to be white than orange.

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd Hi. I have a question. I know when Hydroquinone is applied to my face it dangerous, especially being exposed to the sun. So if i wear sunscreen, i mean, will it really affect my chances and the UAV giving me skin cancer

  • Is that Tae Yang's '' I need a girl '' song ... for the background ..?:D

  • Where can you buy skinwhite products?!

    Anywhere in Canada that's not on the internet?!

  • hi do u know if likas papaya soap is all natural and safe to the skin? thanks for the info btw:)

  • i took Glutathione (pill form) for about a month and it was giving me migraines. i researched and read that supposedly it cleans out your brain and detox it. and the brains swells a bit therefore giving you migraines, however it only does that for the first few weeks you take it. i tried putting up with the daily headaches but i couldnt and i stopped taking it. :( but supposedly, it is very good for you. (what i read when i researched it)

  • All the products that she featured in thise video they are philippines product. I'm using the Likas papaya soap and also the skin white lotion brand l0l...Are you half filipino???

  • so I'm a "chocolate mama" and i was wondering if I were to lighten some scars that were just my face, would the skin look way way different from the rest of my body? like milk chocolate on the top and dark chocolate everywhere else?

  • "I know it's a lot to absorb..." 4:38 Haha, puns.. xD

  • The don't sell alpha hydroxy at walgreens anymore.

  • 4:27 , gotemms ' :D 

  • You are like, my favorite beauty/sewing guru of all time.

  • I love you .. awesome girlllll

  • I like your video..... i loved it

  • sounds so professional

  • Last one: do you know if "Meladerm" cream works? And if the glutathione pills affects hair's melanine?

  • Do you know if the effects of the glutathione are permanent? Or your skin gets back to its original color when you stop using it? Glutathione has side effects? Also I was wondering if chemicals like monobenzone and mequinol could help, I've searched just a little about that but I found that people tend to use it for vitiligo...I don't wanna be THAT white xD but it also says that some people use it for even out their skin tone and make it just a little whiter. Please answer to me! Thank you! :)

  • you always inspire me ..... go go girl...keep us informed and up to date...love you:))

  • have you ever used products with hydroquinone? And is it good enough to have SPF in makeup such as foundation and not use sunscreen?

  • awee, your hair colour is so pretty here, is it natural or did you dye it ? what colour did you dye it ?

  • if i were to use skinwhite which one do i choose to lighten my whole body up? or better yet which one is the best to get my skin tone light about 2 shades.

  • I love whitening products. It helps make skin look porcelain, very beautiful too

  • Comment removed

  • you need a camera man; Key word (Man) ;)

  • doesnt tanning or whitening both damage your skin?

  • I need a girl by Taeyang (:

    Thanks for this video <3

  • how can you permanently remove a skin mole or, just make it blend into your skin more ??

  • <3 :)

  • This was so extremely helpful, clear and easy to understand. I am wondering if you have any experience with the herb Uva Ursi? It contains Hydroquinone and is sold as an herbal supplement to help urinary and bladder infections.

  • Thanks! - I love bio and beauty!

  • you look amazingly gorgeous here

  • lol ..i think i just fell in love

  • why does threadbanger have your videos

  • it's LEE-KAS.

  • can i use alpha hydroxy on my dark knees>?

  • @michelleevogue im not sure but if you exfoliate and use the skin white lotion it should really help

  • Hey you guys. LIKAS is pronounced as LEE-KAS, but in a fast way. I'm a Filipina, so you can trust me on that. It means 'natural'.

  • btw, i think LIKAS is pronounced LI-KAS not LEI-KAS.. Idk whatever xD

  • I love it :D

  • YOUR SMART AND CUTE!

  • Vitamin C also helps to brighten/lighten and even out skin a lot. You can either try "Avalon Organics Vitamin C Vitality Facial Serum" (this is the least expensive vitamin C faced serum on the market) and It won't have the "purging" effect AHA does. On the other hand you can also try making a Vit C scrub using lemon and organic sugar (or uncoated aspirin).

  • LOVE this video!! =] I totally agree with everything you say! I have asian skin and I am quite sensative to the sun. I have some light freckles around my cheeks and nose area, which one of these products you mention should be the best for me?

  • where do u pay "skinwhite" ????

  • Taeyang <33333. :D I love how Taeyang's "Need A Girl" is playing in the background

  • You are absolutely amazing. So much science and hard reasoning behind your claims--bio nerds unite. :D

  • Out of Nadinola, Palmers fade cream and fade milk, and Dr. Fred Summit skin whitener/bleaching cream, which 1 is the best at getting rid of dark spots fast and it's safe?? (all r found at walgreens) PLZ someone help if u happen to know, thanks! :D

  • can you please do a video about dark circles

  • I brighten and whiten to even my complexion out. Dab a little here and there where needed. I have always been very fair, I just get dark marks from an occasional pimple. I also use it on my chest and feet as well because those areas tends to fade a tan really slowly compared to the rest of my body.

  • You really are a breath of fresh air when it comes to YouTube beauty gurus. :) I love how you provide so much science b4 getting into the actual subject of the video.

  • Its funny. Where I am from everyone is trying to get darker.

  • i have rosacea, so pretty much my whole face is red the whole time :(

    would this work for me?

    is it harmfull for my rosacea skin?

    x

  • @Secretlifeofabionerd hey, if you whiten you skin, does the melinen come back later or is it gone forever?

  • Is glutamine safe ot take? What do you suggest personally? I have an olive skin tone but for some reason in the summer my arms and stomach got really dark.

  • Tea yang!!!!

  • Wow Auburn in her MV 'La la la' kinda looks like you. o.o YOU BOTH ARE SO PRETTY.

  • i noticed that you're very well-spoken in your videos :D

  • TAEYANG!!!!

  • ur soo pretty and smart lol

  • hi dear~ sorry to question you but the instructions for the Nadinola Hydroquinone is to use it on age spots/ dark spots, and the reviews are also from people who have used it on spots. is it safe to use on the whole face?

  • how acne on the body? I started having some on my arms and i've never had it before! I'm so freaked out, and i regret scubbing it cos i have really ugly scars now :(

  • Secret is, i am a lightning cream antioxidant slut! lol

  • hey which product of gluthathione do u recommend? the pill or the cream? and where can u buy the cream if ever.

  • Ahh only thing with Lika's Papaya soap is that it makes my skin feel rubbery and makes my legs have razor burn .. D:

  • so what your saying is dat out of the three the Nadinola Hydroquinone (hydro crenon) is the bestest whitening product??

  • What do you recommend for sun spots on the face? I have some on my face that I really want to get rid of

  • please dont miss out the channel contest giveaway! only one more day, 1 MORE DAY! nov 10 is when it ends so join now!

  • this was so helpful i hate the acne scars on my face i hate going out without my face make up on i dont care if i dont have eye makeup on just need my foundation and when i stay over at my bf house i wake up and instantly put make up on its embarrassing .

  • Taeyang - I need a girl ♫

  • @HazelEyes209 I use it on my scars on my body.....

  • your hair is soo gorgeous i wish i had naturally straight hair :( 

  • Thank you so much for this video! I just went to walmart and bought a fade cream that contains hydroquinone 2%, and when I got home I read info on the chemicals it contained. And hydroquinone facts scared me the most. So I'm just going to use this for one wk like you said and see how it goes. Oh and by the way I live in Houston too! Woot woot! :) Thanks again!

  • I love that you were scientific and kept to the facts about this. A lot of people just kinda spout out brands and types and they don't explain how and why they work.

  • Thanks for the information about the different products. :]

    I would also like to say how I think it's unfair that some people think it's okay to go tanning, but once you see something about whitening, they automatically think we're trying to look like "white people." I've seen plenty of asians who are naturally whiter than caucasian people. Do you hear us saying that those of you who tan are trying to look like us? Some people need to be less narrow-minded. 

  • we all have the same ammount of melanine, what changes is the type of it. the darker melanine you have, the darker your skin colour. i hope i had darker melanine. :(

  • it's so cute how you say "LIKAS papaya soap"... you pronounced it as "LAYKAS" while here in the Philippines, where I believe it originated, it is pronounced as it spelled "likas" it's like another term for natural in Filipino/Tagalog. Anyways... I love you being so Asian in using products! i also use Skin White lotions and it really does work eventually. You've been so very helpful to all of us! keep doing what you do! Take care! ^_^

  • thank you so much for making this video! i really wanted to lighten up my skin before my graduation pictures and i was trying to do the natural way with turmeric and lemon but just didnt work to the point i was just going to go to the store and buy a cream or something. But i am so glad i saw this video before i went because it told me so many things to be aware of. I would love if you could do another video explaining about the peel masks and the other agents that couldnt fit this video soon!Ty

  • OMG!! i <3 her hair!!

  • Girl, you are just too cute. Great song choice and thanks for informing us.

  • is brightening and whitening the same thing? what does brightening do? like does it make your skin glow or something like that.

  • @iwuvsuperjunior brigthening is hard to explain it gives you this fresh, younger look. You won't see a color change..but you skin looks healthier...and it's not like the "oh I wish it look healthier" and you trick you mind into it..it's really noticeable..haha I don't know if I am good at explaining this..anyone else want to stab at this?

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd lol but thnk u though i think i get it haha XD

  • @iwuvsuperjunior brighteners give you a glow, while lighteners lighten your skin shades lighter

  • This video was amazingly informative. I definitely get annoyed that people think when Asians whiten their skin, they're trying to look "white". Please sweetie, I know asians who are naturally whiter than some white people. And I know Asians who DON'T like pale skin and would rather go to the tanning salon. It's a personal preference so why don't you guys all get off your high horses and stop being so damn judgmental.

  • @MistressSerenity There are people who actually think that?

  • sooo that being said, is there a way to make yourself more tan ?

  • @JoaVcast of course! self tanning is everywhere. secretlifeofabionerd even has a video about tanning too.

  • @JoaVcast tanning?

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd i meant like naturally with vitamins or something. not rub on tanning or spray on . and i don't wanna risk a sunburn .

  • @JoaVcast lmao

  • @JoaVcast u can inject a tan i wouldn't recommend it though

  • can you do one for make up? like what ingredients should we stay from , what ingredients helps our skin, and if you have dry, oily or anca what ingredients should we use?

  • @angel7030 yes of course !

  • can you do one for make up? like what ingredients should we stay from , what ingredients helps our skin, and if you have dry, oily or anca what ingredients should we use?

  • thank you for the video! this was super informative!

  • could whitening help with lightning freckles ???

  • @conadventures yeah

  • Do whitening creams help with redness in cheeks as well?

  • @CRUNKKGLAM > it may not be your version of beauty but it is for the majority of the Asian population's. Just because you don't think it's beautiful doesn't mean it's wrong. Yes, some Asians do lighten to look like Caucasians but I'm telling you now that most of us do it for purely aesthetic reasons. And like I already said.... Most Asians are already born NATURALLY pale. We use these to get rid of summer tans or enhance that.

  • @CRUNKKGLAM yea some black people don't tan, but some do buy these same products to lighten their skin. Just like some Asians don't lighten and some do. Every culture dyes their hair.... Do you think the only consumers of hair dye products are Asians? I never said you didn't think other cultures do those things, I'm simply telling you it's not only Asians. And my point was to show you that all cultures use the same products and it's unfair that mostly Asians get all the criticism.>

  • wish they sold that lotion at walmart.

    i want to buy a whitening lotion :(

  • i have used likas papaya for 4 years now and i can honestly say it had helped me become lighter. i used it for my face and body too and cause i've been using it for so long, i noticed that i don't break out at all anymore. i used to have tiny bumps on the side of my forehead and pimples, but since the soap dries out your face, it dried out the extra oils on my face. but that's just for me, other people get allergic reactions (redness/itchiness). it's really effective tho. i use it all the time

  • are you talking about acne scars are about lightening ur skin to be a different color. it wasnt very clear to me

  • stupid youtubers that disliked this video..

  • do you use whitening creams?? if so which one do you use?? btw love your videos!! :)

  • you shouldd try outt BB cream and do a review about it ;D

  • I recognize the background song! It's I Need A Girl by Taeyang! <3 Haha! Thanks for the info! And yeah it was a lot to absorb, but i will put this video on repeat!

  • What is your opinion on Nadinola cream? Does it really work well? Where would I find Skin White? Love your videos, by the way. Especially since I'm Asian too, it helps to know what products work best with our skin type. Thank you!

  • would that hydroquinone in the picture lighten a freckle/beauty mark? (not a mole)

  • I've been using lightning creams for years on spots. Works well for me. I'm using Ambi right now and it's fading my dark circles.

  • I learned so much, thank you <3

  • this was SUPER helpful! I used Skin White and Likas (pronounced Lee - kahs but you said it cute) before. I usually get them from asian supermarkets or from the Philippines. I'm filipino & my face is pretty light but my arms and legs are really dark which is not attractive bcus when i put on foundation, it looks like a white cast when really,my face is jus lighter than the rest of my body. people stereotype us whn they say we're dark and its almost true except ppl frm manila are rly light !

  • go to a doctor, dont take advice off of youtube

    you shouldnt even take multivitamins unless you consult a doctor

    dont be stupid

  • @x0hakai I agree! doctor, or do extra research..but you shouldn't be so blunt about the advice........women are jumpy about their looks.

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd I wasnt blunt and I didnt sugarcoat

    I didnt give advice about looks either

    women should be smart no matter what they think of themselves

    if you put things in your body without knowing what it could do to you

    you might not have a body to think is beautiful ;D

  • @x0hakai Agreed, but this video is also for people that don't know anything on this topic, for me this was just very informative!

  • Is Obagi okay to use?

  • Comment removed

  • are there skin darkening pills?

  • @youhatejesskuh yeah i know there used to be but idk if they sell it anymore. it was called eztan or something like that...my dad had a gym back in the 80's and the guys used to take them lol. a bunch of guido's :)

  • @youhatejesskuh I wish!

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd you know bionerd I've been following your for 2 years maybe 3 years. I'm not sure. I've been following you before you were on youtube when you were on t shirt surgery. I agree, lightening your skin doesn't change the asian race but just to let you know not all african americans change the color of their skin, eyes, etc...Just to let you  know. Some are but not all so please dont refer to us as "they"

  • @panduhchan that is exactly my point! because the arguments referring to Asians are considered "they whiten their skin, THEY want to be white" . I am not trying to generalize, I just didn't phrase my paragraph correctly so I am terribly sorry if I have offended you.

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd OH okay, I understand then. Thanks for the clarification. Rock on fashionista!

  • @panduhchan rock on duddette! ^_^"

  • When you whiten your skin, does it make you look sickly because you're so pale or does it give you that nice, white, creamy skin finish? Just wondering! ^,^'''

  • Did you know that you say "actually" A LOT! not that its a bad thing....but its just...there...a lot when it doesn't need to be >.<

  • is GSA Glutathione?

  • I have a question for you. I have really bad scars on my legs for the past 2 years and try almost everything and nothing has work to make them disappear. Out all the products you suggested...which do you highly recommend for scars on legs? And thank you for making this video! =) 

  • This video is awesome. Thanks! Very educational. Subscribed. You are awesome.

  • I have light skin and always use fake tan. I guess we are never happy with what we are born with. I went to Thailand last year and had never heard of skin whitening before being from Australia , i could not beliveve there were so many products.

  • me I don't think I would need to whiten my skin anymore. I have very very fair skin and the only area that needs any attention is on my cheeks due to rosacia. I wish there was a cream to treat the red scar like bumps it makes. I heard using Green tinted foundation helps conceal it, but I want a more perminente fix.

  • @anglxqtx well personally tan doesn't match me it makes me look weird. but some people wanna just whiten acne scars or freckles

  • Except if you don't go out in the sun your skin is going to turn to it's natural color, it's not going to bleach your skin as whitening cream would.

  • @iownall Getting tan from being out in the sun can, of course, be natural. But the length some people go to just to get tan,...well, there isn't anything natural about that, whether it's through sunbathing or laying in a tanning bed. Nothing wrong with tanning but just saying it ain't natural. People's idea of what is and what isn't natural is so altered now.

  • i love that you're a bio/fashion nerd. perfect freaking combination!

  • I'd do alot better in bio if you were my teacher haha, much more interesting!

  • Comment removed

  • i know this sounds dumb but can i use the papaya soap on my body instead of my face?

  • great video :) u just made me wanna know more and more

  • Awesome video i found it very helpful...omg i know this is irrelevant, but my friend has that EXACT same shirt O: an it just.. blew my mind... O.o may i ask where you got it??

  • Thank you so much for this! My body is two shades lighter then my face cause of the sun. And sun screen really breaks me out. I've tried everything cheap and expensive.

  • YOUR HAIR <3

  • Thank you, professor!

    ;) I always turn to your videos when I need some scientific backup on information.

  • i used to have the worst acne scars on my forehead... but i never used any of the things that you use(d). i just used astringent. it might sting a little at first but it works really good. just use the sensitive skin one... that's the one i used.

  • i love ur makeup here can u make a tutorial on how u did this look =]

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd I've never heard of any African Americans lightening their skin. And I don't think the majority of African Americans are getting nosejoibs, either.

  • @ChanShelly Then you don't know many African/whatevercountry.

  • @ChanShelly @ChanShelly Yeah, there are African Americans out there who try to lighten up their skin. Just because you never heard about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And of course, not the majority of African Americans get nose jobs. She was just giving an example of how people of another race alter their looks through plastic surgery. It doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to change their race.
