I'm using Hydroquinone 4% and Retin a 0.1% for about 4 months now on my upper body and face, not on my legs. It has lightened me about 2.5 shades on my face, neck, arms and decollete. My stomach, back and buttocks are still on their way, its working really slowly there.

But anyway, I plan on being on this regime for a couple more months or until I get the results I want. What I want to know is where can I get alpha arbutin to maintain my new skin?

Is it a powder? Cream?

Do I use it twice a day?

And how often?

Remember, I plan on using this after I achieve my goal with HQ.

Please & Thank you.

Arbutin is very expensive there are many cheaper natural lightereners that will give the same results i.e kojic acid, licorice acid. Lactic acid are all good natural lighteners

Makingcosmetics com sells 10g alpha arbutin powder for $19.50
On the site they give a little instruction on who to mix it, it seems very easy
You can also get alpha arbutin cream from dayscience com

By the way I think that the HQ/RA regime is effectively enough.. don't mess with your skin too much

What product to start with for skin lightening?
That actually works?
I have was fair but I have been playing a lort in the sun cause of which my skin has become dark
So how do I get rid of it?

Like I said.. the HQ/RA regime is effectively enough.. you've already used it for 4 months.. so maybe you should just protect yourself with a good sunblock
