I got 6% HQ. What do I do now.

I got a prescription for 6% hq and got it compounded. My dermi said I have type 4 skin (though I think I have type 5 skin) and the 6% should be good for me. Now I am scared to use it on my face lol. I don't want to dilute it and make it less effective, and its only 4 oz. I have a prescription for 1 more refill. Should I test it on a small area first? I was thinking of testing it on the darker pigmented areas on my face to see how strong it is before committing my whole face to it, but I am scared that those areas will become lighter than the rest of my face. What should I do? I am thinking of starting use tonight. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have a super dark spot on your face try it out there first. remember that your face tends to get lighter quicker than the rest of the body, I would not over use it. Maybe once every other day.

hmm all the best.. what do you do ??? start applying it..

for best results apply it before sleepign... let is absorb for five minutes and go to sleep

do not turn on the lights.. keep the windows closed so it doesnt get oxidised too fast...

it will work better this way

morning sublock .... thats about it


have loads of vitamins, drink water etc... to minimise free radicals that are created by overusage of synthetic products... adn i think youd be sorted

all the best and keep us posted

thanks guys. lol at Dessaml. Ok that's what I'll do; I'll use it only on the large darker areas on my face, and my arms. And wow I didn't know the lights being on could make it less effective imgorgeous, thanks and I'll take heed to that. My only question is I love to take hot showers and will that kick my melanocytes into overdrive?

if you use it, your face will be burned, will develop acne and have internal burn and burning sensation

Golden_Girl disagrees: no, your trying to market your site as always. you never even used hq nor have you posted relevant info to back up your claims.

Thanks for the advice but as far as acne goes, been there, done that, still fighting it lol. As far as burns go, been there, done that too lol. Are you now going to tell me to go buy Makari or QEI or 55H+ from your ebhair website like you are promoting in your other posts?

yeah, I say also try on darker areas first as others had mentioned, or better yet apply it to the acne marks & scars for possibly a week.

I would try it on a small part on my face first. i tried 4% HQ before on my face and it made me breakout had tiny pimples that started bleeding all that happened in 3 days imagine what 6% would do. But 6% works well on the body to lighten
