Q. What is the difference between Nur76 Anti-Ageing Original and Advanced?

A. The difference with the Nur76 Advanced Anti-Ageing serum is that it paralyses the muscles for more longer time than the Nur76 Original Serum therefore the results are more better for the long term. In our clinical trial, results was visibly noticeable within a week of usage. With the added ingredients Hexapeptide-3 vitamin B5, Collagen and Vegetal Ceramid the skin has 40% more firmness than the Nur76 original serum.

Clinical trials for the Nur76 Advanced Anti-Ageing serum was sent to all previous volunteers (500) who participated in the last trial for Nur76 Serum and 192 new volunteers between the age group of 25- 57. In Clinical trial 90% commented that the Nur76 Advance serum had a faster effect on paralysing the muscles on face and The Anti Aging Gel Moisture made their skin more firmer and helped to reduce wrinkles further. The only difference is that the Advance serum brought result faster than the Nur76 Serum and result lasted much longer. The serums works very similar to Botox® Injection.

Q. Is it possible to use the Anti-Ageing Serum with the skin lightening Serum?

A. It is not recommended to use both products at the same time although it will not cause any problems to your skin. We recommend to first try out the skin lightening products (can try Skin lightening for face, Fade out under eye circle and Skin lightening body lotion together as a package) after you achieve the desired result you can use the Nur76 Anti-Ageing products. This is because results are better achieved as ingredients is more effective when one product is used at one time. Once one skin problems is solved, such as pigmentation problem, then you can try the Anti-Ageing to fade any lines/wrinkles out.

Q. Can your skin colour become completely white like some celebrities like Michael Jackson?

A. No -because the Nur76 Skin Lightening controls the level of melanin production not eliminate melanin production. The ingredients helps lighten the skin by inhibiting the production of melanin which causes darker skin colour & age spots. As the skin naturally renews itself every 4-8 weeks, old pigmented cells are sloughed off & cells with less melanin will be brought to the surface giving the skin radiant complexion.

Q. Will I be permanently white?

A. Our product does not stop the production of melanin, it just slows the rate down. But our products help people lighten and even out the skin tones. Most of our customers continue to apply for maintenance of the benefits although the frequency of application is less then.

Results would not last forever, as we age, our skins’ tone and at times complexion changes. But our products help people lighten and even out the skin tones. Most of our customers continue to apply for maintenance of the benefits although the frequency of application is less then. There are a few main factors which contribute for skin to cause pigmentation problems or to darken: 1/ ageing 2/stress or illness 3/pregnancy & hormonal changes – pregnancy mask 4/sun 5/bad diet

Q. I only want to use the cream on my face and neck as they are the parts of my skin that are darker than the rest of my body - will the cream work in evening out the skin tone?

Q. I darken terribly in the sun. Will the cream prevent that from happening?

A. Yes the Nur76 skin lightening protection will help that.

Q. How old do you need to be to start using Nur76 skin lightening?

A. We recommend above age 16. People age at different rates usually people show the first signs of aging after the age of 24. Dark marks/spot and other skin problems due to ageing and other factors start to appear on the skin surface. Skin especially under the age of 16 is usually youthful and vibrant because it is still developing and not in the process of ageing yet! Also because the age being so young it may not be an ideal age to decide on the reason for wanting to change the skin to a lighter shade. Please view psychology on skin lightening The product is not suitable for babies/young children.

Q. I am a Asian women and I have a lot of dark spots appearing on my cheeks, I know there are many Asians who have this same problem as me, can you please tell me why Asian people get these dark spots on their cheeks, and is there any way to prevent this from happening?

A. Asian skin tends to be smooth and pore less with yellow undertones. Asian skin is more prone to irritation. Commonly used preservatives, fragrances and alcohol suitable for Caucasian skin can actually cause irritation when used on Asian skin. Asian skin has larger pores than Caucasian skin. Asian skin has a greater need for daily exfoliation to minimize the appearance of pores and even out skin tone and texture.

Generally, hyper-pigmentation (dark spots) has an earlier onset than wrinkles and laxity (loss of firmness) on Asian skin. Pre-mature aging is less common. This explains why Asians are more concerned about skin lightening than they are about age spot treatment, which in turn is the concern of Caucasians. Skin colour becomes darker with age—a function of both melanin content and haemoglobin (red blood cells) level on the skin. The Japanese have the lightest skin tone, and therefore have low melanin content and skin redness. Indians have the darkest skin tone, and therefore high melanin content and skin redness. Filipino (Malay) skin is somewhere in between. More women consider their skin acne-prone and sensitive in the summer. But while acne-prone and sensitive skin go together, the younger ones skew to the former and the older to the latter. Skin moisture decreases with age, and is exacerbated in less humid months. While it is associated with less skin moisture and more irritation, Asian skin is generally in good condition during cooler months. This is perceived to be the result of reduced sun exposure, making skin colour lighter or less yellow, and improving bio mechanical properties (i.e. elasticity) and structures (i.e. collagen). There is a slight increase in skin oil at this time since oil glands are working harder to compensate for lower skin moisture. As a result, fewer wrinkles are observed. Skin turns yellowish with age. This is more pronounced in Chinese and Korean skin than other racial groups. However, Filipino (Malay) skin is most sallow to begin with. Asian skin oiliness is associated with humid environment as well as high usage of foundation/powder.

Now coming back to your question on how to prevent this from happening is to ensure to use a good sun block with at least SPF 15 UVA/U. Also to maintain or obtain good skin requires basic regimen: a healthy diet, exercise, plenty of water and eight hours of sleep contributes to looking healthy and beautiful. To protect yourself on a daily basis, we suggest using sunscreen of at least 15 SPF or more on your face and neck every day no matter the weather. Why? Getting into a routine means you won't miss a day. You need skin protection even if the day is cloudy (the sun's rays easily penetrate clouds). Click here to view best sun protection factor!

Q. I have dark circles under my eyes will the skin lightening serum for face do the same job as the "Fade out under eye dark circles" ?

A. The skin lightening for face is ideal to use on the face, you can use the skin lightening serum for under eye to get the same effect however we advise not to, because the skin around the eye area is more sensitive to the skin on your face so we formulated a gel which will work well around the eyes without any irritation and overall give you the result you are looking for. Click here to learn more about Nur76 "Fade out under eye circle".

Not all skin is created equal. For example, the skin of the soles is thick and hard, the skin of the scalp has embedded hair follicles, and the skin of the nose and cheeks tends to have particularly active sebaceous glands. The skin around the eye has its own special traits:

  • It has virtually no sebaceous glands, which makes it highly prone to dryness.
  • It is much thinner and more sensitive than other facial skin.
  • It overlies a particularly dense capillary network and has minimal fat padding, which makes the eye area prone to puffiness.
  • It is stressed by frequent eye movements and squinting.
  • All of the above often makes the eye area the first place where signs of aging appear on the face. The faces of twenty five and thirty five year old people usually differ mainly in the eye area. Thirty five year olds are a lot more likely to have fine lines and bags under the eyes; some will even have crow's feet. Not surprisingly, when we try to estimate someone's age, the appearance of the eye area is always one of the key factors. Therefore, if you want to keep looking young as long as possible, it is usually not enough to take care of your skin in general. You need to neutralize a natural tendency of the skin in the eye area to age faster than the rest of your face.

Q. I have dark circle around my eyes which look deep and hollow will the "Fade out under eye circle" help?

A. There are many reason why people get dark circle, if the dark circles are caused from hyper-pigmentation the Nur76 Fade out under eye circles will help to reduce the dark pigmentation. To find out more about the different type of dark circle you have please click on this link!

Q. Is Nur76 skin lightening suitable for sensitive skin type?

A. Yes, it is suitable for all skin types, it does not cause any skin irritation or side effects. The ingredients are all natural plant extracts and has no known to cause no side effects on skin.

Q. I put some serum around my mouth and I accidentally tasted it, it tasted very bitter, why is that?

The reason why it taste a bitter some say it taste tangy it is because of Vitamin C and also because of the other ingredients such as plant extracts. It does not contain any artificial colour or flavours to make it smell nice or taste good. Basically this product delivers the results you are looking for, and unfortunately it cannot be glossy at the same time on the surface, as long as it works below the surface that's all that matters! :)

Q. Why do you add Vitamin C, isn't it more for eating than applying to your skin?

A. Vitamin C is one of the most widely used skin care ingredients. The variety of skin rejuvenation / anti-wrinkle products. Vitamin C can benefit skin in two important ways. Firstly, vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. Adding vitamin C to a culture of skin cells (fibroblasts) dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. So, when vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.

Q. I have birth mark will it work on this mark?

A. If you have birth marks- unfortunately it will not work to lighten the birth mark as it is not a pigmentation problem. However it will lighten the skin around the mark. Birth marks are genetic heredity and will not work with creams.

FAQ: Why do people want to lighten Skin Colour?

Why do you think people want to have a lighter skin?

Skin whitening has a long history in Asia stemming back to ancient China and Japan. A white complexion was seen as noble and aristocratic, especially in Southeast Asia. Only the rich could afford to stay indoors while peasants worked in fields.

I think there are many factors why many Asians prefer fair skins. One of them is that it is looked as a superior colour. It could be because most of the rulers in the Asian subcontinent were fair in complexion. And this attitude has followed since then. To add to that we also associate fair complexion to westernisation which people in Asian countries are following. Moreover we have been told since childhood about mythological evil characters as dark in colour.

Surprisingly if you look closely at the English language you will see that we use the word fair to mean nice and good and dark to symbolise ugly and evil.

Besides this the media has also played a major role in this matter. Almost all actresses, all models in asian subcontinent are fair in complexion.

Why this fuss on people lightening their skin seen in such a negative light?

I think skin lightening is a personal choice and it should remain that way. Everyone has the right to decide what suits them the best. What makes them happy or make them feel confident. As you would see people colour their hair green, pink which are not natural shades, but it is not looked down upon. Similarly there is no reason why someone should look down upon using skin lightening products. Problem starts when people tend to overdo things or become dependent on such things.

What products be used?

I think before a person starts to use a product they should make sure that the product is safe to use and contains no harmful chemicals. Safest bet these days is to use products with natural extracts which have been certified by the country’s national health agency.

What can be the side effects of using such products?

The side effects can be psychological dependence, or biological such as rashes, blood disorders or even neurological problems. These are seen usually with products that have high concentration of chemicals such as hydroqinone, mercury and topical steroid creams. It is best to use products with natural extracts.

Prevalence

A recent study in 2002 showed that around 77% people in Lagos in Nigeria were using skin lightening products. In another survey it was found that 66% men in HongKong wished their partners were fairer in complexion whereas 50% women wanted their partners to be fairer. The figure rises to 77% males wanting their partners to be white in Malaysia.

Skin whitening has a long history in Asia, stemming back to ancient China and Japan, where the saying "one white covers up three ugliness" was passed through the generations.
A white complexion was seen as noble and aristocratic, especially in Southeast Asia, where the sun was always out. Only those rich enough could afford to stay indoors, while peasants baked in the rice fields.

In their early bid to lighten up, Chinese ground pearl from seashells into powder and swallowed it to whiten their skin, says Chinese University chemical pathology professor Christopher Lam Wai-kei, while across the Yellow Sea, Geisha girls powdered their faces chalk white.

This obsession with whiteness has not faded over time. A survey by Asia Market Intelligence this year revealed that three quarters of Malaysian men thought their partners would be more attractive with lighter complexions.

In Hong Kong two thirds of men prefer fairer skin, while half the local women wanted their men paler. Almost half of Asians aged 25 to 34 years used skin whiteners in a business that some analysts have said could be worth billions of dollars.
