Hi guys,

So after reading a lot of threads on this forum I decided to go with the most natural approach I could think of. So I ordered the Diana Stadler Kojic Acid Papaya soap. I have been using that for two weeks now and just read about vitamin C and glycolic acid.

My question is where can I find a body lotion that is 12% Glycolic Acid? Because I have read that unless its 12% or higher it really won't work with stopping melanin production. I see face creams that are 12% but they are tiny and so expensive. Does anyone know of a particular brand that I can get over the counter and works well?

Here is my regimin:
Use Kojic Acid soap--leave on for 5 minutes
Use Alpa Hydrox 10% face lotion of my body--knees, elbows, stomach etc.
Use Vaseline Coco butter Intensense Therapy Lotion all over my body
I also take 500 mgs of Vitamin C at night.

Is there anything else I can do that would help the process? My face is lighter than my body, so I primarily want to lighten my body.
So who can help me? :)

Thanks!

Thanks nikki1000!
Is MD forte available in stores or pharmacies, or do I have to order online? And also do u think 20% is OK to use or will it be too harsh?
