I described, in an earlier, post that i used some mix, of various creams,

But i recently, found out, that Eldoquin, god it really worked amazing for me,

It was also kinda scary, because people did notice,

and friends were like, you getting lighter and lighter, whats happening

and i was ashamed to tell anyone, and i dont want too.

But i really loved the Eldoquin, i only used for 4% Hydroquinone

Its crazy, because i think the key is pure hydroquinone,

I have seen alot of you are taking mixes,

including myself, and god i had not noticed, any difference in all these products.

So I dont know how much it helps you other,

I was reading about Eldoquin, and it said it was powerful, because

It only contained Hydroquinone, and a bit mix, i guess.

Thanks Mobster, glad to hear that you have had success. Can you tell me what was your original shade and how many shades were you able to lighten? I never heard of Eldoquin, I'll have to read more into it.

For so long I was very afraid of hydroquinone until I did further studies on it. It seems as though you can get great results with hq. But it should not being abused such as being used for long periods of time and in very high concentrations, then that is when it may become unstable. If I do decide to use it, I would use it along with tretinoin for maybe like no more than 6 months and then switch to something else and maintain. As dermatologists continue to prescribe Hq at 4%.

Can you tell me your regimen, thanks?

mobster

I got from a dark brown color to
light brown color.

i tried to give you an idea it would look like this

Hydroquinone, its not that dangerous, if you stay away from sun exposure,
Where i live in Scandinavia, the sun its very light, and sometimes, there its no sun at all.


I want to tell this again,
The most de-effects, and awfull things they say about Hydroquinone,
Happened in Africa.

Where the sun its "very very" STRONG.
and people dont wear alot of clothes


I bought from https://skin-careonline.com/Home_Page.html

I guess the guy in there have those on 4% Eldoquin.

Its important for me, because i dont have a dermatologist prescribing it for me.

Thanks Mobster. You were able to lighten alot, how long did it take you to reach that shade? Are you using retin-a as well and have you ever thought of trying the generic brand of Hq where it is cheaper? I never knew anyone from Scandinavia, at least you can keep you are able to keep results, does it get really cold up there?

All of Africa isn't hot, but yes there are humid and dry places there. I used to live in Ethiopia, as my father is Ethiopian but I lived most my life in the States. Ethiopia has very nice summers that arent too hot with nice cool breeze, much nicer weather than here in the humid hot south U.S. But, Ethiopia's rainy seasons last for about 4 months with mostly rain and very cold weather, especially at night and I had to wear sweaters.

But I agree, there seem to be many cases from South Africa having bad cases with using very high doses of Hq for long periods of time, like exogenous ochronosis. I bet most likely they did not use a good sun block either. Even when they began to see the hints of a bad reaction due to overuse, they still used it and their situations only worsened.

Before, I used alot of products,
Like many of us have,
and one day, I only had Eldoquin left,

So i read randomly in the description box,
it said, you would see good results within 4 weeks,
and if you dont see any results after 4 weeks

then you should stop using it.

So i tested out in 4 weeks, and you know before i was using the other products,
I didnt get remarks from other people.

But after these 4 weeks, there was some people who start saying, that i got lighter and lighter.


and i really didnt had any excuse for it, it was kinda overwhelming I could see myself in the mirror everyday, after these 4 weeks, i thought i got real lighter,

But i was thinking that i might just convincing myself,

You know, how some people would start convincing themselves that the product works,
because they want it soo badly to work ?.

but when others start saying i was like wow okay.
Its not only me.

Eldoquin its kinda cream that looks a bit like powder, but in the same time are cream.

soo but here is how it looks when you apply a thin film on the face,

It kinda looks like make-up.

If you look at his nose, around his eyes, and in the hairline, you can see its too different colors, because he didnt apply it there.

I believe it was Benoquin he used but it reminded me of this one the one i use.

Golden_Girl

Oh you mean Mj...yes I believe he was using mono as well. He is wearing makeup in the photo as many celebs do including male...his was sometimes a bit more. Underneath the makeup, he also had uneven fair and white patches all over his face, on the neck, his hand, etc. I remember seeing the picts. So, this can also be an addition to the uneveness as he was lightening.

I have read that some people may use the Hq everyother day or in the evenings and then on the next day they may use retin-a in order to give the lightening a more evened appearance but will take longer to lighten. I know what you mean about how others begin to notice the results and begin to question how your getting so light...lol. My experience was mainly with makari and I lightened alot. As I was lightening, I was able to measure it by seeing how much darker my lips were but when I went out I used neutral lipstick shades to cover them). Also, I had to constantly change to lighter shades of makeup to match my complexion. Taking before and after picts in good similar lighting helps too.

mobster

Oh really okay.

But it kinda reminded me of somewhat foundation cream,
thats why i was using it as an example, anyway,
I havent used any other products yet, since that time,
I might try to get Retin A or something else, but it adds up,
and gets expensive and the Eldoquin its in a small tube. for 30$.

Oh i have actuilly also Hydroquinone powder, I used a bit of to mix with some other creams, and i also use that sometimes.

mobster

I have also heard,

Someone was questioning, wether you can lighten your lips,
and there was another topic, they talked about it,
and some cream could lighten the lips i guess.

But that i dont have any problem with, my lips are very red and natural.
its not that dark, maybe only a bit on the upper lips,

But i have some what of arabic nose, and lips,
