    I did already post the name of where I got my HQ from on pg 4 I got it from...
    It's a legit site they sell tons of actives if makari doesn't work for me I will start to make my own skin lightening cream!

    You get so much in there packet so you only need a small amount to make the % I made it doesn't even make a dent on what's left

    I received my package yesterday I mixed a 14-20% serum so I will see how that goes I have high hopes!

    I am not using HQ on my face only on my body where I have areas of pigmentation and also where I suffered at the hands of a dreaded tca peel!NIGHTMARE!

    After I have cleared that all up if it works I will then move on to the inner thighs

    The redarkening and ochronosis generally occurs when you are in the sun so as its on my body and I'm in the uk that won't be a issue lol!

    I also use latex gloves when applying the solution and I use a hydrocortisone cream as well as retin-a gel


    I won't use it for long I'm hoping to see results within a month

    You know I will fill you both in good or bad lets lean towards the good lol!

    Four days since I have been using my HQ solution and only once a day my pigmentation that was once BLACK is now 90% gone I kid you not

    My skin is peeling and all the skin underneath is now 1 shade away from my natural skin tone I'm so happy I won't even need a month another week and it will be all gone

    Say what you want about HQ but when it works it WORKS!

    I can't wait to try this on my inner thighs I wonder if it will work the same there as well

    Thanks guys

    There was a 10% l ascorbic in the obagi serum as well as the HQ and then I used my 1% retin-a as well


    The makari... I normally use a glycolic peel and then I use a cream from remede that really suits my skin

    However since using the peel and using makari my skin is so dry the night cream is just not a adequate cream for me it does nothing for me in terms of moisture

    Even before I attempted the peel the second day of using the night cream I was wondering why my face is so dry I have to lavish it on the 100ml if it was a richer formula it would last me months but this I can see lasting me a month lol


    I have yet to see any lightening I have seen patches on my neck where my skin is peeling and the skin ''looks'' lighter but nothing significant to mention

    If I do expereince any lightening with makari I will have to get the caviar cream as this dryness on my skin will not do SMH

    I heard the caviar is extra oily so it might do your skin good since you have a dry type of skin. Plus, I think it's the more powerful out of the group of makari. You will be yellow in no time. LOL. I am glad that neck is looking lighter hopefully you will be all one color Like I want to be. But I guess I want my face a little lighter than my body.

    I went and scrubbed my neck today I had way too much flaking going on there and to my shock I can see LIGHT patches

    Its very uneven right now though and all patchy I cannot wait for it to all peel completely I can tell my neck is going to take a while

    I will for sure get the caviar cream after I finish this as my skin is tight like I'm wearing a mask lol

    As long as my face gets close to my chest I will be happy I cannot take the zebra uneveness anymore lol!


    How is mono going for you red diamond are you seeing the progress you want
