    Mequinol/tretenoin update [PICS]
    This update was long overdue, I totally forgot until somebody asked about my progress.






    These pics were taken under the same lighting conditions of my room. The first one was taken with a digital camera, the second with a webcam. You can see on my shoulders it's darker, I'm kind of lazy about lightening the rest of my body... But I plan to start. This is about 1.5-2 months in.

    The lighting looks WAY lighter in the second picture.Your face is more to the screen maybe that's why your face looks lighter, at least that's what happens to me when I take pictures like that with my webcam.Anyway if it did work for you that's really good!

    Same here, I'm about half a shade darker than that pic makes me look. But I have lightened considerably all the same. But I hate putting mequinol on it burns, my skin peels from the tret and then meq touching the new skin is just no fun... I don't use it that much.

    That is all thanks to tretenoin that I'm not all scarred anymore, I still have some, but webcams are very forgiving, digital camera not at all... nothing has worked like this ever has... I spent so much money at the dermotologist but tretenoin is where its at. Mine is a generic but if the people from Retin A ever come to me and ask me to be in their commercial I would do it for free...

    Very nice Dessaml, you skin is FLAWLESS. Your first pic kind of reminds me of Aaliyah. In what percentage each do you credit your lightening with the hq, mequinol, and tretinoin?

    Can you write your whole regimen for us, especially how you were able to lighten the body? very nice!

    Lol yeah tell me about it.

    Is no fun at all, man it burns like my face is on fire.

    And later I apply 4% HQ...

    YaaaY! Yeah, I would really like to know your exact regimen. Because you were very successful.

    For me, I have lightened a lot. I say about 3-3.5 shades. I have been using the lactic acid peel on my arms and hands and then I'll try re-applying the hq in hopes that will penetrate better. I have been getting many compliments with people saying how light and clear my skin is now. Im hoping by Feb. I'll reach my desired shade for my face, neck, ears. And progress with my arms and hands. Then I'll add other areas. Much thanks to you Dessaml for assisting me. Seeing your success keeps me motivated.

    My lightening is legitimate I assure you. Or else I would not be posting it. I'm not some newbie to this site, I have been around quite some time, if you can't trust me then I suggest you try my regimen for yourself.

    I don't think she cares if you like her better in the first pic.
    It's not cool to say that cause she was cool enough to post her pics and there are not to many people doing this on this forum.
    So this is made to let us know her results not to judge her:)
    She is pretty in first and 2nd pic if she likes herself better this way then we should be happy she made it!:)
    BTW dessaml you are very sexy!;)
