I decided to give carotone cream, which comes in a smaller cup, a try with my sibling when she returned one day. I needed something to keep my skin moisturized, not knowing that it was actually a bleaching cream—mind you, I have dark skin.
When I used carotone cream for the first time, it smelled good and had white ingredients.
I used carotone body cream on my body, but I had to stop using it after noticing that my knuckles were getting darker before the first week had passed and the other parts of my body were getting lighter.
It’s not just me, but I’ve seen that persons who use Carotone Brightening Body Lotion tend to have darker knuckles or skin patches.
To prevent sunburns and patchy skin, you should use carotone cream away from sunlight, fireplaces, and extremely hot environments. You should also avoid combining carotone cream with another bleaching product.
I’ve noticed a number of customers complain about the possibility of stretch marks and green veins from using carbotone body cream.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY FACE IF I STOP USING CAROTONE CREAM
Your skin becomes darker the moment you stop using carotone cream.
Your skin gets darker because the hydroquinone contained in carotone body cream stops the production of melanin which gives the skin its black colour.
After stopping the use of carotone cream, the skin begins to produce twice as much melanin, darkening the skin in the process.
CAN I MIX CAROTONE CREAM AND OIL?
It’s possible to combine carotone cream with oil.
However, keep in mind that both cartoon oil and tone cream include hydroquinone, so using them to get would be putting a lot of bleaching agent on your skin.
HOW TO MIX CAROTONE CREAM
Make sure the other ingredient is moderate and won’t bleach your skin if you must combine carotone lotion with it.
Glycerine, coconut oil, almond oil, aloe vera, rose hip oil, and even rose water can all be combined with carotone cream.

IS IT GOOD TO USE CAROTONE CREAM?
No, using carotone cream is not a good idea, and I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone I love.
Long-term side effects could be extremely serious, even if it lightens and alters the complexion.
CAN I USE CAROTONE CREAM ON MY LIPS?
Carotone cream should not be applied to your lips.
Since it bleaches skin, your lips would also be bleached.
It would only temporarily lighten your lips, and if you kept using it, it would eventually start to darken them.
DOES CAROTONE REMOVE DARK KNUCKLES?
It is possible to eliminate black knuckles with carotone.
However, this would imply that you would only gradually apply carotone to your knuckles. It takes more work to achieve rougher skin textures.
