Dr James Probiotics Milk Whitening Cream Review: 5 Things You Should Know Based On My Experience

The Dr James Probiotics Milk Whitening Cream is one cream most people intend to get, but it needs clarification about its effectiveness. Since the cream has words like probiotics, milk, and whitening on the name, many are curious if it’s true to its name because these ingredients are known to lighten the skin. 

A cosmetic seller recommended this cream to me because I told her I wanted a lightening cream or lotion that won’t be too fast but would take a gradual process and time to restore my complexion. Then, I suffered from severe hyperpigmentation due to chronic long-term sun exposure without sunscreen.

I have used it for three months; thus, I will go in-depth and tell you all you need to know about this cream. And also, what to do if you want to use this cream to lighten your skin.

About Dr James Milk Whitening Cream

Dr James Milk Whitening cream is a Thailand product made by What is Green, a Thailand company that manufactures cosmetic products and supplements. It has a milky or yogurt aroma and comes in a 250gram cup. Upon purchase, it’s sealed with a foil sheet which shows that it has not been tampered with. 

According to the company, the formulation of this cream contains GREE, extracted from the top layer of a hundred percent cow’s milk, making it five times more valuable than standard everyday milk. They also claim that this GREE helps nourish the skin, smooth it, and make it radiant. 

Now the question is, does this product do all that it claims? Before I go into detail on what I experienced when using it, please take a quick look at the ingredient that contains in it. This will help you to understand things better.

Is Dr James Cream a Bleaching Cream?

No, it’s not a bleaching cream. No ingredients in this cream can cause it to bleach the skin.

It’s a safe cream that won’t cause stretch marks, dark knuckles, sunburn, or green veins on your skin.

How Good is Dr James Milk Whitening Cream?

Dr James probiotics milk Whitening Cream is a very good moisturizer, based on my experience after using this cream for three months. I can confidently tell you it’s not a whitening cream, as the name suggests, nor is it a lightening cream.

However, it’s a very good moisturizer that can plump your skin and make it soft. I experienced this when I was using it. The presence of niacinamide in this cream makes it plump and hydrates your skin.

Since there is vitamin B3 in this cream (Vitamin B3 is another name for niacinamide), prolonged use of this cream can help build keratin in your body. Keratins are a type of protein that keeps your skin firm and healthy.

Aside from your skin looking healthy, this cream can moisturize your skin for a long time because of ingredients like glycerin, mineral oil, and dimethicone, which are known to moisturize the skin.

Although we don’t know the amount or type of probiotics available in this cream. However, it’s interesting to know that probiotics in creams and lotions help manage and cure skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, acne, eczema, most allergic skin inflammation, UV-induced skin damage, skin hypersensitivity, and wound healing.

Will Dr James Milk Whitening Cream Brighten Your Skin?

Since niacinamide is in it, using this cream for a long time can brighten your skin. According to research, prolonged use of niacinamide is known to brighten the skin for up to 4 weeks or more. 

If you have sensitive skin, you may see a brightness in your skin tone within four or eight weeks. But if you have tough skin or have so much hyperpigmentation on your skin, as I did, it will take nearly four to six months to see the skin brightening effect. 

Also, one important thing you should know about the Dr. James Probiotics Milk Whitening cream is that since it’s made in Thailand, their skin texture is different from ours here in Nigeria. So, even if it takes one to four weeks to lighten up a Thai person, it will take more than that to brighten up a Nigerian.

Note: I mentioned it would only brighten your skin but not whiten or lighten it. There is a difference between these three.

Is There a Dr James Milk Whitening Cream for Face?

No Dr James probiotics Milk whitening cream does not have a separate face cream.

Can Dr James Whitening Cream Be Used on Face?

Yes, you can use it on your face. I usually don’t recommend using a body cream on your face.

 

But since the ingredients used in making it are very mild, and niacinamide is also known to be excellent on the face, it’s okay to use it. However, when you start using it on your face, monitor it. If you notice any reaction or rash, discontinue it immediately. 

 

Can You Use Dr James Whitening Cream on kids?

Yes, it’s safe to use it on kids but not on children under six. For kids under six years old, get a baby lotion for them.

The price ranges from 2500-3500 naira. This also depends on your location in Nigeria.

How to Mix Dr James Milk Whitening Cream

I don’t usually advise people to pro-mix lotions or creams because you might end up degenerating or destroying the ingredients used in making the lotions, especially when you have never formulated a lotion before. In the end, you might get skin reactions that cause other problems if you don’t do it properly. 

However, if you still want to pro-mix Dr James Milk Whitening cream (Which I don’t recommend) to get a whitening cream, below is what you can do. You will notice changes in your skin complexion within two weeks of use, although this depends on your skin type. You will need the following:

Actives serums

You can choose either ONE (not all) of the below active serums mentioned below:

• Skin free milk serum,
• Piment doux
• Crystal white oil
• Glutathione comprime serum
• Light up oil
• Zero Spot Concentrated Intense
• Concentrate Intense Lightening Serum
• Gluta C Concentrate Intense Whitening Serum with Papaya Extract

Skin stabilizer

Even though Dr James probiotics milk whitening cream is a very mild base cream that won’t cause any reactions to the skin. You will need a skin stabilizer to prevent any skin reactions like stretch marks, dark knuckles, or other skin reactions that the active serums might give to your skin. One of the best is:

• Bel EClat Kenacol Oil

Steps to mix them

• Divide the cream into two halves, which are 125 grams equal parts.
• Measure 15ml of any active serums mentioned above on your sanitized measuring spoon and pour it into one of the measured halves (125 grams) cream. 
• Mix this properly and make sure they are properly blended.
• Measure 10ml of the skin stabilizer on a measuring spoon and pour it into the mixture you have above. 
• And mix properly. There you have your whitening cream. 

Note: Please do not use all or more than one active serum. Choose only one. Mixing different active serums will damage your skin, even if you put a skin stabilizer. 

How to use this mixture

• You should use the pro-mixed cream at night only.
• And use the unmixed 125 grams cream in the morning. Please don’t use the mixed cream in the morning to prevent burning your skin because of the active serum in it. 
• To be safer and not overwhelm your skin, don’t use a lightening soap when using this mixture. Instead, opt for a moisturizing soap or shower gels like the ones mentioned here.
• Remember to wear sunscreen when going out. 
• Also scrub your skin twice a week. You can use a whitening body scrub if you want.

How to Make Dr James Milk Whitening Lotion Lighten Your Skin Without Mixing It

If you don’t want to mix anything with your Dr James milk whitening lotion and still want to use it to lighten your skin, below is what you can do. This is the method that I use. Depending on your skin type, you can get one or two shades lighter in a month or more. Below is what to do:

• Get an excellent lightening soap containing Kojic acid, Glutathione, AHA, or fruit acids. 
• Use the soap and the cream morning and night.
• Exfoliate your body with a whitening or lightening scrub 2 or 3 times a week.
• After using the cream, use body oil like Easy Tone Body Oil daily. 
• Use sunscreen daily while going out.

Can You Mix Lactic Acid in Dr James Milk Whitening Lotion

No, you can’t add lactic acid to this cream because it contains carboma. When lactic acid is mixed with lotions or creams containing carboma, it becomes watery. Therefore, you can’t use this cream to make a good exfoliating body lotion or cream.

Why Did I Discontinue After Three-Month Use?

Even though this cream took a long time to give me a sight-visible result, I still wanted to stick to it because it was mild, safe, and affordable. However, one thing that put me off is that it’s challenging to get the original. 

There are so many imitations in the market that even a trusted cosmetic seller may find it difficult to differentiate the fake from the original. 

Unfortunately, there is no way to tell the fake from the original from the packaging. You must buy it and open the seal to tell the real stuff. The original ones will always have a unique milk smell, while the fake ones will have something different.

This means you might end up wasting your money if you unseal it and discover you have the wrong cream. It can be frustrating. I bought a fake one twice, so I decided to discontinue it. 

 If your skin loves this cream and you want to stick to it, purchasing it directly from the company here is best. They do ship overseas.
