Dencia's recently launched skin care line, Whitenicious, is really bringing her fame & recognition. She's been featured on a few mainstream media platforms including MediaTakeOut, The Clutch and now Ebony magazine. In an interview with Ebony published on their site yesterday (Find it
here) Dencia said Whitenicous has the ability to bleach
the skin if used all over the skin. Excerpts below...
Ebony: Your product is called Whitenicious, Of course people will buy it because they want to bleach.
Dencia: Ok. Will Whitenicious bleach your skin if you use it on
all your skin? Yes, it will. Are we selling Whitenicous for that
purpose? No, we’re not. Whitenicous
comes in 30 ml and 60ml. You cannot use the 60 ml to bleach your whole
skin. It’s impossible. And that costs about $150 each. 60 ml can’t even
go on your whole feet. I don’t see anybody spending all that money to
bleach their entire skin. I don’t see that happening. Now, do I have
customers who come and buy stuff for over $2000? Yes, I do. Do I ask
them what they want to do with it? No, I don’t. Do I know what they want
to do with it? No, I don’t care because it’s their money, it’s how they
want to spend it.
The cameronian songstress also admitted being lighter now than she used to be but says she has never bleached her skin as
her critics are claiming. Continue...
"Have I…Has my skin lightened from when…like from the past five years?
Yes it has. It has. Has it drastically lightened? No it hasn’t. Is it
what people are saying? No it’s not. Actually, I will send you pictures of when I was 16. I’m not that
lighter from when I was younger, I’m not. The picture they’re passing
around where I’m wearing the animal print underwear, that picture was
three years ago and that was a tan. If anybody looks at that picture and
you look at the oil on my skin, you would know it’s a tan. And it’s
funny because one of my friends who was at the photo shoot with me that
actually oiled me up with the tan sent me a message yesterday. She was
like “Why are people going crazy about this picture when you were tanned
on this picture?” I was never that dark in real life and I can send
EBONY pictures of me when I was like 15, 16. And guess what? I don’t
even care because they’re bringing me business. Because when you take
that picture and you put a picture of Dencia darker, this is what you’re
telling people – the product really works. And guess what? People
really want to buy it. It’s what it is. I don’t really care."

ReplyDeleteIt therefore presupposes her cream is a bleaching cream.
ReplyDeleteJust like Jik and Hypo. "E dey wipeooo"
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
This bonario guy is becoming a nuisance. Wonder if you have a life.

ReplyDeleteShe is a business woman. #mythoughttho'
ReplyDeleteYeah that stuff really works,actually people are made to be critcis......making the money is what the business is all about.
ReplyDeleteNa she sabi, next pls.....
ReplyDeleteSNOWYTE SAY S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ ..
Linda, what has NAFDAC and SON said about this product? The publicity on this product is not healthy; skin cancer is on the increase across the globe and Nigeria does not have the facility to take care of such patients. People should be careful not to buy a disruptive product with their hard earned money. I see bleaching as low self esteem; love yourself; love your body; if there be need for change it is change of character! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BE YOU WHITE OR BLACK! Chineke gozie okwu!! May heavens bear witness!!!
ReplyDeleteMay d LORD hav mercy on some ppl dat dont apppreciate d hand work of GOD.SOoo bad.
ReplyDeleteUse all the perfume in the world,you will still be stinking.
ReplyDeleteSo none of you noticed as Linda destroyed English in the first paragraph! Hehehehehehe!!!
ReplyDeleteWas actually looking for a comment on that... Lindiway carry go nothing do u lmao
DeleteLinda rilly murdered it. Na wa 4 u sef, u no comment on d topic na d blunder u highlight...
DeleteAnd to imagine she is a graduate of english from a renowned school like Unilag.Maybe her background is responsible for that,too bad.Linda please go and learn how to use punctuations properly.cheers.
DeleteHow can you go from that yummy caramel color to that white trash and say you didnt bleach? you must be insane!
ReplyDeleteChai!! I love me some Dencia!! Lord please make me as business savy as this girl. The girl is selling out with little or no money spent in marketing. That's a steal in today's business world!! And to those of you hating, like it or not you are helping her business. The rule: if you want to succeed in business you must learn to leave u emotions at home. Dencia is doing just that. She don't give a triple fuck what y'all say. She focuses on cashing out. That's the spirit I want.
ReplyDeleteCoreect bleching tins. No be only tan. Since when do blacks start wearing tan. Dencia tan is for white peeps.....so stop being silly nd embrace ur profession. Mizz bleaching
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of Dencia's whitenecious/bleaching/spot removal or whatever she calls it, but fyi, black people tan. I get tanned from sitting in the sun by the pool, during winter, I get spray tan to give my skin a glowy bronze look and I am black. I dont do the tanning beds, but I do get my spray tan when I feel like it. Just fyi, oh btw, those black celebs you watch and wonder why their skin looks flawless, they tan too.
DeleteOde,y will u care what dy want 2use it 4?
ReplyDeleteSebi na water,won few mu ni?
Seen! Next biko!
ReplyDeleteThat's my babe Dencia, its their choice whoever wants to bleach their skin should be free to do so, its their choice and their skin, dark skin girls be hating on girls who bleach their skin cos yall feel threatened by them, why you shouldn't be isn't black beautiful?
ReplyDeleteThat's my babe Dencia, gud biznezz woman, whoever wants to bleach their skin should be free to do so, its their skin and their money, dark skin girls are often threatened by light skinned girls and thereby hatin on girls who bleach their skin, yall shouldn't feel threatened isn't your black beautiful?

ReplyDeleteMost girls say they bleach cos of guyz attraction to light-skin girls.Hell no!I like her black or naturally light-skin with good curves.Not bleaching sha o!Dencia was "wonderfully made"when she was black.I wish her boobz and hips were natural tho.
ReplyDeleteLinda Linda..'is really bring her fame' lol. Just kidding
ReplyDeleteher former beautiful complexion has now gone into extinction. That'S SO SAD....I'm not judging her.I wish her all the best anyways,everyone's got their own ideas/opinions of beauty.

ReplyDeleteDencia, listen to urself... u claim its not possible for people to spend so much money to bleach their skins (bcos one jar of ur product costs $150 and dey will need more dan one to bleach), yet in dat same sentence, you said people buy ur stuff worth $2000. Madam, jejely admit u're selling bleaching cream and leave it at that... After all u're a bleached product urself!!!
ReplyDeleteTo me,a bleached skin simply means bleached shrunken brains. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteI say so....
I must say am loving her so called 'tan pic' than d other pic were she looks all drained out off blood! (Not hating just saying)

ReplyDeleteLinda, I have a pant and bar for you as Valentine gift, something similar to Dencia's(first pic). But as Chief Zebrudaya alias 4:30 once said, ''When a man buys a pant for a woman, he will definitely want to see how it looks on her''. :-).
ReplyDelete.....I don't trust women who bleach.
ReplyDeleteIs she looking as bright or brighter than her future? lmao

ReplyDeleteOmg I took my time to read evryfin about this skin care line "whitenicious" to me dis denicia is just being honest to herself she's not full of herself and she's not telling u to use her product to bleach ur whole skin, she's just saying dat her product can treat hyper pigmentation and dark spots, dats what she mean, ppl shud stop disturbing their selves worrying about dis chic cos she's successful with her product, she's not forcing u to buy, I like her exposure and boldness, pls denicia do ur thing don't mind dem haters smh in laughter

ReplyDeleteShe is steady promoting self hate and dangerous products and keeps calling it business and saying she doesn't care... and no matter how tan you were in the 1st photo, you definitely bleached. It's ignorant people like this that make black women have low self esteem and hate their color. I can't believe the product was approved :(
