Hey Keisha =P

Firstly I should say the Caviar Cream will works regardless of the AHA cream or not. The AHA cream actually only enhances the effects of the Caviar since it creates a synergistic effect (basically it allows for deeper penetration of the Makari Caviar Cream which = more potent lightening results). But it is optional, not everyone has to do this.

Also you mentioned you used the 2 together for 11 consecutive days without sunscreen. That is a major problem right there. Whether you are using an AHA/BHA product or just a lightener alone, without sunscreen you are setting yourself up for no results or even darkening/rebound effects. Whenever you use lightening products, you are decreasing the amount of melanin your skin produces slowly which makes the skin naturally more vulnerable to sun damage. You must wear sunscreen everyday, that is why I like to advocate cosmetically elegant sunscreens over very high protection ones that are greasy/tacky. Find one that wears nicely on your skin, there are lots out there I've mentioned a few on my personal blog in a few articles.

Anyway, to your question: I think what is happening with your skin is a lack of sunscreen use. It sounds like a broken record but the sunscreen makes a HUGE difference really. Whether you are using the AHA or not, your skin needs to be protected at all times during the day.

That seems to be the only thing I can think of that is causing you to not reap the benefits you were getting before.

You can definitley try that routine out though: use the AHA mixed with caviar perhaps 3 times a week, and the caviar on its own the others (whilst wearing sunscreen every single day) and see how things go. Perhaps add in a potent AHA treatment once a week like the Makeupartistchoice Pumpking Exfoliating Masque (mild but works great for those who like AHA masks/treatments) or the Alpha Hydrox AHA Peel (I'm not sure if they still sell that but it is a great sheet style AHA mask. I would squeeze the AHA solution out of the sheet, and into a jar and it would last me for weeks).

Good luck, let me know how it works out. If you have any other questions, post I will do my best to answer.

Vitamin C with flavonoids is great for overall health. At 2000mg a glow (from antioxidant) is probably the best you can get. It won't directly benefit your creams, but because you are internally getting antioxidants it does show up in the luminosity value of your skin.

Topical application of vitamin c is what is proven to lighten skin.

I find the caviar lightening creme quite small in size and doesn't last as long as the night treatment creme. The night I used to use 2x daily and was able to stretch it the longest while lightening my skin. Although, the night, the day, and the caviar all seem to work well wth lightening my skin equally.
