This is also my first time using a whitening powder. They said that it is a bleaching powder.
What is this?
This is Etta's Compact Skin Whitening Powder. It is good for skin beauty lightening. A pre-mixed compact of skin beauty aids in a single white dry powder form. The effective skin whitening for dark skin or areas of dark skin - sunburn, thus preventing the formation of freckles, birthmarks, pimples and blackheads, prickly heat that give baby skin results. No pre-washing needed. Economical and easy to apply.
I bought this in Hortaleza and it is also available in Mercury Drug Stores. Actually, I first saw this product in Mercury Drug Store and I got curious about this but I thought that this is very expensive because of the box so I decided not to buy. I saw the same product again in Hortaleza when I was going home. I asked for the prize and learned that it is not that expensive so I bought one.
I bought it for 144 PESOS ONLY!!! (the price may vary in different stores)
What is inside the box?
2 Pouches of Powder
The texture of the powder is similar to flour.
What you will need?
~ The powder inside the box
~ Hydrogen Peroxide 10 Volume (You can buy this in Mercury Drug Stores. I bought
mine for 75 Pesos. The salesman told me that I should only by the 10 VOLUME.)
How to prepare?
1. Put (1 tablespoon for face/ 4 tablespoon for body) Etta's powder in a bowl.
(In my case, I only put 1 tablespoon of powder since I had only used this on my
knees.)
2. Mix powder with the Hydrogen Peroxide until ice cream appearance is produced.
3. Apply on desired area. Wait until it dries and wash with plenty of water. (Some say
that it is itchy but I didn't feel any itchiness thus I felt coolness.)
4. Apply moisturizer/ lotion after. (It is necessary because the skin will be slightly dry)
What to remember?
Don't be alarmed if the skin tightens and if you feel warmth and bearable itch. This is expected. DO NOT APPLY on raw or broken skin.

My knee seems to be lighter. ^_^ (Same light, same place as the before photo.)
What is the result to me?
It is effective for me. It lightens my skin. ^_^ But I don't think it's permanent though and the result varies on each person.
What are the pros? ~ It lightens my skin.
