I have a very sensitive skin, can this cream work for me?
Although we only use the safest skin lightening ingredients, there's a chance that some people may experience allergic reactions from one of its natural ingredients. Therefore, as a precautionary, we suggest that you do a patch test. If a light tingling sensation occurs, this is NOT a sign that you are allergic to it, simply a sign that the cream is working its way through the skin. If redness/burning sensation occurs after you have been using it for days, this means that you're skin is was too sensitive to be using the cream every day, please discontinue use, apply aloe vera or Petroleum jelly to affected area until it's completely healed. You can continue using it with 2-3 day interval, do not use it every day.
Since your skin will be sore and sensitive to other products, we highly recommend the use of Calendula Moisturizer it contains great healing power that rejuvenates and helps expedite the skin's renewal.
- How many shades can I lighten with the cream?
Gluta-C Skin Lightening cream can lift 2-4 shades or as much as your body/skin will allow. - Is this formulation safe for long term use?
Gluta-C cream does not contain harmful chemicals such as hydroquinone, mercury or benzonene. Although it is safe for long term use, we suggest to have at least 1-2 week break after every 30 days so skin can have a breather, this will give skin to regain oxygen that was lost during treatment.
- Can I wax my eyebrows or face while using Gluta-C cream?
No Gluta-C cream is a treatment cream, what it does is expedite the shedding of old skin to reveal younger looking skin underneath making the skin sensitive and vulnerable to hot wax. But if you really need to get your wax session done, then we i suggest to NOT apply Gluta-C cream where the wax will be on. - Where do I keep/store the cream?
You can keep it in a cool dry place. - I'm pregnant, Can I use it?
No, we do not recommend it, although it hasn't been tested to have negative effects, but we'd rather advise our clients from abstaining while pregnant or lactating, just to be on the safe side. If you chose to use Gluta-C® Cream under these circumstances, then you are using it at your own risk & discretion. -
