Does anyone know where I can order hq20% without a prescription? I'm a broke college student and can't afford to buy it from a dermatologist.. I just started the lightening process and so far it hasn't been going well.. I used fair and white and that didn't work and I used african queen mj and that's hasn't shown any results on my body.. I'm just looking to lighten my whole body.. not my face..

Well you could hydro from mono.net but I don't really know.. if I am the right person to refer you to a place.. because I myself faced five months before I actually got my product..
If you purchase from theree... kindly ask them to dispatch by their canadian post courier service else you will never get the product on time...

Hi swet
I'm using the hq 20% only thing is that the body really peels a lot so you'll need a really good moisturinzer and exfolator

Yea I heard about that place.. I don't know if I want to spend so much money to wait months for a product lol.. I want to lighten by this summer before I go to the beach.. it seems like all the lightening ccreams work on your face but on your body barely shows any results.. I know a lot of women in africa are successful in lightening their bodies.. I wonder what they use

How many shades on your body did it lighten and how long did it take? They must use really high doses of hg in nigeria because they enver get dark even with the hot sun

Not sure but the kojic acid soap works just as well, when you go to the market in nigeria you just ask them for soap and they know what to give you, but your not missing out over here. Trust me.

I use 10% HQ too and it works very fast. Your face does peel, but you can see the lighter skin underneath. I used it for about a week and after the peeling, my face was very pale. But, I haven't been using it on my body. So it looks a little weird.

Wannab, I get my 10% from a dermatologist who has it compounded into a cream with retin-a. I will say that my face is constantly peeling cause it is very strong. However, this is the fastest lightening I have ever gotten. My face is very pale and pink. Now, I'm not applying it to the rest of my body, cause the cream is too expensive. I really need to cause the rest of my body is still tan, while my face is pale with pinkish undertones. The only bad thing about HQ is that you HAVE to wear sunscreen or you will get dark again. It is not permanent.

Yea, I use 4% that I got from a dermatalogist on my face as well right now. I'm still not the color that I want to be even though I've been using the cream for like 6 months. I think 4% is just not high enough for me. I am pretty dark, I want to be at least 5-6 shades lighter all over my body, not just my face. I'm thinking about ordering a high percentage of hq real soon. I just need to make sure I have enough money to go through the whole process, until I get my desired shade.

Mar 24, 2009, 11:26 PM
Hey lighterrr, I read somewhere in the other posts that you have used mono along with hq. how is that process going for you? A part of me wants to try mono, but I don't think that I can have any kind of social life when I have spots all over my face and it looks like alligator skin. I hope all is well with you... plus I don't want me boyfriend to be like is going on with you... I'm not sure right now. I think I'm going to try hq in a high percentage first before I think about anything else
lighterrr
Mar 25, 2009, 05:36 PM
Hi want to yeah I def. think the high hq is the way 2 go cause mono can leave you with white spots and an uneven skin tone, it has done that to lots of people on this forum, I've had good results with it but I am using the hq now, and kojic acid cream and soap

Mar 26, 2009, 04:49 PM
Hi, this question is for lighterrr, I have been following some of your post and you inspired me to order some HQ from the net. But I am really curious to know more about your journey with the 20% HQ. How long did it take you to lighten with the 20% HQ. Do you think that your successful results were due to a combination of HQ and mono. I only have one month to lighten because I have a special engagement to attend. I am ordering the 40% HQ next week. I know everyone's skin is different, but I guess I just want some indication of how long it took for you. Thank you much. I see that you have participated in 2 forums lately and I am not sure if you will respond to this forum quicker or the other one, so I'm going to ask this question in the other forum too! Thanks again!
prisgirl101
Mar 26, 2009, 04:57 PM
Lighterrr, one more thing, if you have darker areas on the body, will those take longer to lighten than the rest of the areas or will it all lighten uniformly. If it takes longer from your experience, how long did it take you? Thanks!
lighterrr
Mar 26, 2009, 06:17 PM
Well every one is different, but I applied it like my elbows knuckles, ankles etc and made sure I rubbed it in well and it gradually got lighter didn't happen as fast as the rest of my skin but it worked,
Fyi: one more thing if you're a girl usage of high hq seems to turn your fingernails brown so I got the gel nails to cover my real nails, now I only use the hq for maintenance so its not that bad
prisgirl101
Mar 26, 2009, 09:11 PM
Thanks lighterrr, did you get any irritations? How often did you use it within the 1 month period? When I called the lady said that some people turn dark the first week, did you experience this? What did the kojic acid soap do for you, or did it make you skin better? How so? Do you think it work quicker for you because you used mono? I know it's a lot of questions--but I just don't want to give myself false hopes again only to be disappointed. I have battled with skin discolorations my whole life and I am tired of hiding behind clothes and feeling insecure? Thanks again!

Anyway if we can let me know so that I can give you my email address. Thanks so much! Oh yea what color did you start being brown, red, or yellow? Thanks

Oh cool, that's the % I'm looking to get. I really don't know how many times I will apply it though. It depends on how my skin feels--you will know if your skin feels irritated and if it does you lessen the use of the HQ. So I'll let my body tell me--but I will try to use it as much as possible--as long as it doesn't irritate my skin. Did you get yours from the net?

Yes I did. I should get it any day now hopefully.. I also ordered the gluthatione soap and kojic acid soap. I plan to use both.. only on my body though.. scared to try this stuff on my face.

So what made you get 40%--did you hear other testimonials about it or what? I want 40% because I need something that works fast. I am familiar with HQ for my face--My derm make one in a 10% sol but it's a 1oz jar and way too expensive to cover my whole body over a period. Do you know anyone who has tried the 40%?

I wanted something that would work fast and despite the negative side effects I have heard about hq, I am willing to take the risk because the other products I have used do not work on my body. U'll be shocked to find out how many people bleach. I know a lot of people that are bleaching but they never talk about it so I feel weird asking them what they are using and I also don't want people to know I am bleaching lol.. I'm hoping the hq works really fast and causes no side effects..

Lighterr,
How do u mix that? Mono & retin a, then kojac cream? ( I haven't tried that) all together?
Or:
Retin a w/ mono or HQ 20% then kojac cream? How long did it take u to get to a mainteance place w HQ? Weeks?
It should take me less time 'cause I'm lighter in spots (Beyonce) they r spreading. My tummy is practically covered. My back... the spots just started spreading there last week
lighterrr
Apr 1, 2009, 09:27 PM
ohh myyy it's a lot I know but here is my regimn, use mono only once a week now @ 20%
1) wash face and body 2X daily with kojic acid soap
2) apply apply hq 5% now on face like 2X daily and twice daily on body
3) apply kojic acid cream once usually @ night prior to going asleep
4) apply retina cream every morning
5) taking vitamin c pills
I'm going to add gluthathion pills cause I believe they will help to prepare my body to remain lightened
so as you can see I got the colour that I want but that's just the beginning maintenance takes a lot of time and effort also

Wow mepk5, your like little kim's new color? That's really nice. I wish I could be that color. I'm like oprah's skin color and I want to be as white as possible, but I just don't know what's the best way to go. I think if I use the hq20% it's probably going to take me years to see the results I wants. lighterrr and mepk5, what do you guys recommend me to do. I'm so confused and starting to get discouraged, because I have tried l glutathione pills for like a year, and that didn't help. I've been using hq 4% only on my face only and I saw barely any lightening. I just don't know what to do...

I don't think it s a lot. I haven tried kojiic cream. Does mono net sell it? U use retin cream in the day? U have 2 watch retin a in the sun. u will be a cheetah girl like me! I tried the kojic acid soap on my face. It's strong, turned me red. I tried 2 leave the soap on my body for a minute or 2... itchy itchy sting stingy 2 lol. I read there is no proof that gluthathion pills work, maybe they will maintain r shade.
See!! I didn't take pills... the mono is still in my system. Moving down my body. One boob is almost completely covered... almost a chocolate swirl milk shake! LOL

lighterrr
Apr 2, 2009, 04:48 AM
Jo stay away from mono and use HQ cause you'll see better results.
I used mono for a few months I got some white spots, they where bad before but now there better cause I used the HQ to balance out my skin, because of the mono usage it gave me a high yellow to pale undertone to my skin and I like that.
Mpk now you got me scared about the retina I just started it this week.
And I'm going to africa next month, what should I do, should I stop the retina cause I'm going to be in the hot sun soon.
mepk5
Apr 2, 2009, 05:22 PM
I mixed mono down to 20% I didn't see anything for 3 months then I stopped a try something else. Then I got spots. I think I shouldn't have stopped abruptly & tried Benzarbutin also.
Lighterr retin a will be a nightmare in that type of sun & heat... use it at night only. Get the 100% sunscreen moisturise moisturise.

Hq will leave marks
Hq turns people darker than they really are after a time of using it.
