I have been using mequinol on my face combined with tretenoin. The tretenoin is 0.1% and the mequinol is 10%, I also dilute this with a bit of bio oil so my face doesn't fall off because it does burn a bit, but my skin is getting used to it.
When I started I looked like Freddie Kruger, skin peeling and it was irritated and I looked a hot scaly mess!
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT! The worst is over and now my hyperpigmentation is lightening soooooooooooooooo much, so it the rest of my skin. I don't use the mequinol as liberally becuase my FIRST priority is hyperpigmentation (kinda pointless to have light pretty skin covered in acne scars) I also do a lactic 70% peel once every week and a half or so. I also put Dermo White on in the morning (not a great lightener AT ALL but it moisterizes with and with the meq and tret you'll need it) but since I added the meq and tret my skin is the best it has looked in YEARS, i thought I would have to get laser resurfacing to fix my skin. So yeah,
great for hyperpigmentation when used with tret and it does lighten, the day of recokoning with be when I am able to leave the house with no makeup! *fingers crossed*
I will be posting pictures eventually, probably within the next week or two...more like two though. Just remind me if I forget.
