No. There are absolutely no bleaching ingredients in Forgotten Skincare products. The formulation contains a natural skin lightening extract called bearberry or Uva Ursi extract. This leaf extract slows the production of melanin in your skin to reduce the appearance of dark spots. Learn more about ingredients here.

Yes, Forgotten Skincare is safe for other skin areas. However, our products are especially formulated for specific body care areas and not recommended for other skin areas. We recommend avoiding sensitive areas and eyes. Of course, everybody's skin is different and our suggestion is always to try a small amount first before applying generously.

Absolutely! Forgotten Skincare makes products that are perfect for all skin shades. It does not contain any bleaching ingredients and will not "whiten" the color of your skin. Instead, our products help to brighten and lighten any discolored areas. You may notice a brighter and more even tone no matter if you have skin that's dark, medium, light, or very fair.

Results may vary, but if you use as directed, you may experience some results like softer, smoother skin in two weeks. For lightening darker skin coloration, visible results take between 2-3 months (8-12 weeks) with daily use. Varying factors like how often you shave, what other products you use or your level of hyperpigmentation all contribute to how long it takes to start showing results. We recommend taking a picture before you start using Forgotten Skincare and then a picture after two weeks, one month and three months so you can track progress.

If you decide to ditch your deodorant and only use The Original, great choice! Please understand that your body needs 1-2 weeks to adjust to the new routine and you may experience a detox "stinky" period while your pits get used to their new pH. Trust us when we say it's totally worth it to not have to stress about B.O. once you're using The Original regularly.

We recommend sticking to a consistent routine and using The Original twice daily, every day. A regime is important when using any self-care cosmetic. We cannot guarantee results because every body is different. Please let us know if you have any feedback on our products because this helps us make the best formulation. We love feedback & reviews.

Yes. It is okay to use The Original under your deodorant. Please note that some deodorants can cause skin discoloration including natural deodorants that include baking soda. This may reduce the lightening effects from The Original. We recommend using The Original in place of your current deodorant or antiperspirant. You will still sweat while using this natural deodorizer because there is nothing in this product that blocks your sweat glands from producing sweat naturally (as it should be!).

We recommend using The Original 2X a day (apply morning and night) without deodorant for 2-3 weeks to allow your underarms to adjust. You may experience an extra smelly time period while you adjust, but that should reside after a few weeks.

Please consult your doctor and laser hair removal technician on whether you can use our products while going through treatment. Our formulas contains ingredients that help to increase cell turnover rate and slow down melanin production.

If you experience irritation after using our products, please discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.

You should not experience any irritation after using The Original. However, everyone's skin reacts differently to different ingredients. We recommend that you always test a small amount on another area of your skin such as your wrist before applying liberally to your underarms. If you have no sensitivity with this patch test, then you may apply as directed. If you're experiencing irritation such as burning, itching or redness we recommend discontinuing use. Please do not continue to use the product if it causes burning, itching or redness. Consult with your doctor for any issues that may be of concern - we are not able to provide any medical advice to treat, diagnose or cure medical conditions.
