My Personal Review of Amaira Natural Lightening Serum

You know, once, skin lightening, especially for the private parts was quite taboo. It was in the realm of celebrities, fashion models or porn stars. But step by step, dogma was loosened, understanding was encouraged, and we started having more open, healthier conversations about our sexuality. Accepting our own bodies is the necessary first step to discover peace. But acceptance and peace often release energy for inspired action afterwards. Making positive changes helps us live better lives, with more satisfaction, more self-love, and at the end of the day, more love and respect for others.

Confidence and self-esteem are important for our mental (and even physical) wellbeing, and so we arrive to today. While I love my body with all its features (some would say imperfections, but that’s not true), I can also help my body heal and change. If I could dye my hair a different color every season, why couldn’t I do something about my darkened armpits? Talking to my dermatologist, I discovered it’s called ‘hyperpigmentation’, meaning ‘excessive darkening of the skin.’ My underarms have become that way through repeated chafing, irritation, the occasional infection (that we barely notice), sweating, and so on… All of that, slowly but surely, creates gradual but noticeable skin damage. To protect itself, the skin becomes harder, which makes it darker. Which, to be honest, I don’t like very much. The dark patches on my underarms stand out with jarring contrast to the rest of my shoulders, arms… My entire body. My skin tone just wasn’t even or natural looking.

So I decided to do something about it. If I can dye my hair, or do painful waxing (well, occasionally), why shouldn’t I help my skin heal and restore its natural tone? Acceptance is all fine and dandy, but I think it’s only wisest in regards to things we cannot change. Dark armpits due to damaged skin? I should be able to change that, heal that. 

And so we come to a few years ago. With the market flooded with various skin lightening products and each promising wonders, I couldn’t wait to put my hands on any. My intention was simple – I just wanted to recover my once flawless skin. I tried quite a number of different skin lightening products, one after the other, but there came I time when I finally tried a cream that contained Hydroquinone. Controversial? Yes. Effective? Also yes… I was like, to hell with it, let’s give it a shot.

It was fine for a week or so, but then the side effects kicked in; my skin was starting to itch, it was getting red, dry, flaky and uncomfortable. I couldn’t even move my arms without paying the price of feeling irritating itchiness. You know that uncontrollable, brain-freezing urge to itch? Yeah, that one. After a great struggle and saintly patience, I was able to get a slightly brighter appearance.

Which disappeared a few months later. And I was back to square one, but this time, a master in controlling the impulse to scratch that itch.

Had I known about the existence of natural lightening serums and creams back then, I would probably have had greater results without the uncomfortable side effects.

So for the last 3-4 years of my life, I’ve dedicated myself to learning about everything about skin lightening and helping people with hyperpigmentation. Why should you go through my experience? I want to spare everyone that. And so we come to this review.

My goal in this Amaira Natural Lightening Serum Review is to provide you with all the necessary info you need before making this really important decision. Buying a skin lightening product is no trivial matter, and especially when you aim to lighten your privates too. My hope is that this review will prove helpful to you, regardless if you’re treating underarms, dark spots, uneven skin tone, or even your genitals. I hope you find it useful!

Things to Consider Before Buying a Natural Skin Lightening Cream

There are tons of skin lightening products available nowadays. While I leave you to choose the products of your choice, I will always advocate for safer skin lightening based on my own experience.

Natural products promise great results without the need to endure the side effects of harsh chemicals like hydroquinone and mercury on your skin. Natural skin lightening products also save you the high cost that comes with the other option – corrective skin lightening surgery. Or abrasive chemical peels. Or expensive and painful microneedling laser treatments.

These over-the-counter natural lightening creams and serums are meant for people who want to brighten their skin using safer, more conventional methods. However, naturally-based products take more time to work their magic and are therefore often dismissed. However, they require sticking to the instructions and some necessary patience. If you’re looking for a quick fix, they may therefore not work for you. But be aware that even the most expensive laser treatment or chemical peel won’t provide you with lifelong results, which is why repeated treatments are necessary. 

Which is one more reason why so many people give skin lightening creams a chance. They’re fairly affordable, you can use them at your discretion in the privacy and comfort of your own home. No embarrassing appointments, no need to break the bank.

But people also make mistakes when choosing the skin lightening products to use, just as I did. Before deciding to buy a certain skin bleaching product, it is important to consider the following factors;

• Directions and duration of use – Read the instructions manual and ensure that both the directions and the duration (before you can see results) work for you. Because if not, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Or, if you don’t, or can’t follow the instructions faithfully, you’ll render the product useless. You should also not use a product for longer than instructed. If you’re unsure about any of this, consult with a dermatologist.
• Ingredients – Check the ingredients list to ensure that the product doesn’t contain any known allergens, or harsh chemicals. While your elbow may not be sensitive to some of them, your private areas or areas with sensitive skin, such as the armpits, probably will. Best practice is to avoid products that are too colorful or have a strong smell, that can mean that they contain artificial colorings or perfumes and parabens. If you can, check the ingredients online to see if they’re really naturally derived as the manufacturers claim. Finally, try to avoid Hydroquinone. It’s true that some people tolerate it, but many don’t, and I’m trying to save you some trouble here. 
• The manufacturer – Where are the products made? How are they made? Are they made in an FDA-licensed facility? All important things. Sure, maybe your neighbor’s balm didn’t cause you any problems (because it was made of sugar, honey and egg whites, lol!), but when it comes to actual skincare products, a well-vetted, safe and standardized manufacturing process is important.
• Where you’re buying it from – Buying from a brand’s official website, a reputable pharmacy or a cosmetic shop will reduce the risk of buying counterfeit products. Be aware that buying from online ads is basically paying for a cat in a bag. It may give you nasty scratches – or simply scurry away – when you receive it.

What is the Amaira Natural Skin Lightening Serum?

All right, let’s go over the technical, but no less important bits first. Amaira’s natural skin lightening formula is being produced in an FDA-licensed, state of the art lab facility in the USA since 2016. The powerful, but safe skin lightening serum is achieved by combining many natural ingredients that work well together, and act synergistically to reduce all forms of hyperpigmentation on your skin. According to their dermatologists, their formula is capable of evening out your skin tone and making it up to 3 shades lighter. They claim you should start seeing results within the first 6 weeks, although I personally saw a difference in my skin tone in the first 3-4 weeks. If you do research on their ingredients, this seems less surprising, because many of them are renowned natural skin lightening agents. The serum contains Kojic acid from Japanese mushrooms, Mulberry leaf extracts, Irish moss, as well as a selection of moisturizing ingredients. You won’t get dry skin from this, I assure you.

The natural serum is packaged in bundles of 1, 2 or 3 bottles of 50ml each (they usually give you the third bottle for free) which allows you some flexibility with your budget. It easily spreads over the skin and gets absorbed quickly, without leaving your skin oily or your clothes sticky. You won’t even know that it is there. Plus, it’s not a gel, so it won’t slide down your legs or arms or migrate to other parts of your body.

The Amaira Natural Skin Lightening serum is developed alongside their SOS Intensive Skin Lightening Cream and Advanced Scar Vanishing Cream. Alongside these, they’ve also added a Face Firming Serum and a Booty-Lift Cream to their catalog. All products are made in an FDA-licensed facility, seem of high quality and are often rated number 1 for skin lightening (even for the intimate areas), scar vanishing, cellulite smoothing, or other beauty needs.

The Amaira Natural Lightening Serum is for you if you’re looking for a safer method of dealing with acne scars, dark spots, melasma, birthmarks, age spots/liver spots, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, darkened intimate areas, dull skin and other general skin lightening needs.

User Reviews and Feedback

I also scoured the internet to find out what other people who used the Amaira Natural Skin Lightening Serum had to say about it. People are different and are therefore bound to have different experiences and opinions, so some variation isn’t surprising – in fact it’s normal. But I saw a number of rather positive and convincing reviews.

We did better than just read; remember a picture is worth a thousand words right? Here are screenshots from people who were kind enough to share their journey with using Amaira.

Amaira Features & Benefits

How does the Amaira Natural Skin Lightening Serum work?

Hyperpigmentation occurs due to the production of excess melanin, a substance responsible for increasing dark skin pigment. This can happen as a result of acne, other injuries to the skin, or prolonged exposure to sunlight, and among other causes, aging and hormonal changes.

Once applied on the skin, the serum becomes absorbed into its deeper layers and works at the site of melanin production. The active ingredients such as Mulberry leaf extract, Kojic acid and Alpha Arbutin slow down melanin production by up to 50%. In time, this leads to less and less darker discoloration and pigment under your skin. Remember that the old and mature skin cells can’t be affected much, so they need to fall off or be removed with exfoliation. But as skin cells become replaced, the young and new ones will be lighter in tone due to the ingredients in the serum, providing for the brighter appearance after 6-8 weeks.

The other ingredients work together to moisturize the skin and help exfoliate the dead skin cells. Moisturizing ingredients such as Irish moss help diminish fine lines, repair damaged skin and leave your skin lighter, smoother, tighter and with a healthy glow. Even better, these changes last even longer than some cosmetic procedures.

Is the Amaira Natural Skin Lightening Serum Safe?

According to the manufacturers, Amaira’s serum is mainly made of natural ingredients which are easily tolerated by all skin types. The serum does not contain perfumes, harsh chemicals such as parabens or Hydroquinone, nor does it contain any artificial preservatives, perfumes or colorants. Their aim was to create a formula that works great for everyone, regardless of their origin, skin type, skin pigment, and even those who have sensitive skin. From my experience, this is true, since my pale skin is also quite sensitive, especially on my underarms, inner thighs and ahem, some intimate areas.

Which brings me to the next big plus of this skin lightening product. It is designed from the ground up to be the almost perfect intimate skin lightening formula. The manufacturers recommend it to lighten genitals and other intimate areas, claiming it’s safe and non-irritating, but also effective and pleasant to use. They’re pretty confident in their product, which is why they also offer a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee in case it doesn’t work for some people. My experience was positive, as Amaira’s serum truly made my skin brighter than before, without any hint of redness or irritation. Unlike other creams…

And unlike other creams, this serum also didn’t cause my skin to become dry or flaky during the treatment period. Amaira addresses this by incorporating Irish moss extracts, which is actually sea moss that’s renowned for being a powerful and nourishing moisturizer.

WARNING!

You should not use Amaira if you are pregnant; the ingredients from this product may end up in your bloodstream and the safety of your baby cannot be guaranteed!

Also, using the serum on your nipples during breastfeeding can lead to ingestion in the baby. It is advisable to not use the product if you’re breastfeeding or your skin is damaged.

What are the ingredients of the Amaira Natural Skin Lightening Serum?

Have you ever heard of the saying “old is gold“? Long before the invention of today’s day skin care products, people used various natural ingredients to lighten dark skin and to nurture their skin’s health.

Well, Amaira claims to have tapped into some of these ancient plant based wisdom ingredients, and I think they may be onto something! Kojic acid for example is known to Asian cultures as a natural skin lightener. Take several such time-tested natural skin lightening ingredients, combine them with advanced and scientifically proven compounds and you come up with a skin lightening serum that not only makes your skin lighter but also keeps it radiant, healthy and youthful!

TOP TIP!

The product’s color is a warm, natural yellow color. Both the Glycolic extract and the Kojic acid have a slightly yellowish tinge. Due to variations in temperature, the product will continue to become slightly more yellow and even brownish over time. This is completely normal and is not to be worried about – it happened with my product as well but it was still working as intended. So even if you notice a change in its color, the product is still completely effective and you can use it with confidence. If you really wish to preserve its original color,  you can store the serum in the fridge.

This begs the question; what are the ingredients of this highly publicized lightening serum? Here is a detailed list of some of the ingredients:

• Mulberry leaf extract – This is the main active ingredient in the serum. Apart from enhancing overall skin health, it works to inhibit melanin production by up to 50%, hence leading to the formation of new, lighter skin cells.
• Mulberry root – It diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and works to leave your skin looking plump, soft and youthful.
• Irish moss extracts – When you think of moss, you usually think of something growing on the ground or tree barks. However, Irish moss is actually algae that’s found in the sea. It’s a powerful natural moisturizer that’s becoming increasingly popular even with the most expensive and renowned beauty brands. Additionally, Irish moss softens the skin, helping the other skin lightening ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin and work their lightening magic.
• Licorice extracts – Derivatives from the roots of licorice, these contain glabidin, a substance that further inhibits melanin production and makes the skin lighter.
  
• Bearberry extracts – These are derivatives of the bearberry plant (which supplies bears with their beloved berries, containing high nutritional values). The plant itself is the source of the much famed Alpha Arbutin, a compound that inactivates melanin. In fact, many people consider bearberry to be a natural and safe alternative to Hydroquinone. I kinda agree.
• Glycolic acid – Regardless if you’ve waxed, shaved, or exfoliated down there, it’s common to have clogged hair follicles or ingrown hairs. Well, Glycolic acid takes care of that by cleaning your pores and keeping your sensitive skin squeaky clean.
• Kojic acid – This is a powerful, natural skin lightening agent found in rice bran and certain Japanese fungi and mushrooms. It also works by slowing down melanin production, and clinical studies have shown it’s as effective as Mulberry leaf extract, if not more.

Amaira Use and Potential Side Effects

• The Amaira Natural Lightening Serum is more effective when used on a clean and dry skin. Apply it in the morning and in the evening, and try to be consistent because that’s very important. For best results, apply it continuously for 6-8 weeks or until you notice the desired skin tone. Amaira also recommend combining their Serum with their SOS cream, because they contain different skin lightening ingredients. Both are safe for sensitive skin and intimate areas.
• As you can see from the list of ingredients, Amaira does not contain any harsh chemicals or known allergens that might damage or irritate your skin. This really seems to be one of the safest skin lightening products on the market.
• Be aware of the following though: like every other melanin inhibiting product, this serum renders your skin more sensitive to the Sun’s UV rays. This can be prevented by putting on sunscreen every time the treated area is exposed to direct sunlight.
• The manufacturer also advises against using products from other brands during treatment as they may interfere with Amaira’s action, or possibly produce unwanted side effects.
• As mentioned before, the effects of the serum on an unborn baby or a baby that’s being breastfed cannot be ruled out. Please don’t use the Amaira products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Be careful about using Amaira on recently shaved or waxed areas, or areas of irritated or damaged skin. This can cause redness, further irritation or injuries to your skin. You should therefore keep the product away from such areas. Due to the off-chance that you may be allergic to any of the product’s ingredients, it’s wise to do a patch test. Try it on a small area of the skin and wait for a couple of days (2-3). If you experience no side effects, it’s safe to use for you. If you experience a reaction however, please stop using the product.
