What Rhianna and Lil Kim are using.

From the research I have done, the experts are pointing to mequinol. Because they have that super light complexion, but still have bronze undertones, unlike Benoquin which depigs. It burns like hell when not used with tretinoin and can damage your skin, also to prevent the skin from getting darker from the mequinol.

I can't find a place online that sells the Solage so I think I am just going to guy the Mequinol and combined it with my tretinoin I already have.

EDIT: scratch that, I found a site that sells Solage...but I'm not paying 90.00 so I'll just make my own.

Mequinol is the depigmentation agent, 4-Methoxyphenol is the IUPAC name. It's the monomethyl ether of hydroquinone and an isomer of guaiacol. Maybe adding a good oil like olive oil, sweet almond, or coconut oil will help lessen the irritation?

Mequinol - wikidoc

Interesting idea, it could work....Maybe that with the bio oil?

Maybe for those who are vetrans to harsh bleaching agents might be able to withstand the 10%...but I would worry it would completely depig. I think I will buy it and mix it and test it on my foot or something.

Maharani: I see. What kind of questions did they ask you? Did they ask who was your doctor?

Lighterrr did you order the mequinol from the same place too?

Good thinking Dessaml, maybe the bio oil would help too as they also help to fade spots, so I've heard. I believe a lower dose like the 2%, a good oil, and tretinoin would be worth a shot. But, does the mequinol cause white spots like the mono or no?

Probably does, that's why mequinol usually has tretenoin so the skin is not damaged. I wouldnt put pure mequinol on my face.

No questions about your Doctor, just what the purpose of the cream is, whether you have used anything else for the condition, your weight and height etc...Nothing really hard. They will then let you know whether they are happy to provide the prescription and therfore place your order for you.

Ok thanks. What kind of conditions do they find acceptable?

MAHARANI · Sep 12, 2009, 04:06 PM

Tell them you want it for your sun spots.

Golden_Girl · Sep 12, 2009, 04:41 PM

lol...ok

RedDiamond · Sep 15, 2009, 04:44 PM

I need some help. I dont know if I want to try the mequinol or sepiwhite. I was planning on mixing it myself using the powder but i havent dont this before. If i make it too strong itll burn my skin. If its too weak then it wont do anything. What do you think?
