    HQ + Retina
    Hey everyone I don't know why no ever (or barely) post about this combo. People got good results with this, so why the need for spending money on other products which you may not know if it would actually work. I really want to start these two, but does anyone know a good site where I can get them from?

    Also, what is the legal percentage of HQ you can buy again?

    Thanks.

    Wow thanks a lot! I suppose you bought from this site, so I'm guessing its legit?

    Yeah, I ordered hq 4% & retin-a 0.05% from alldaychemist as well. So far it's doing what it's supposed to. I'm waiting for the patches to blend, I have a way to go though. My goal is to use the hq for no more than 4 months per area, then switch to something else to maintain those areas.

    Well I've been doing some research and well you apply the retin-a after cleansing your face. Wait 30 minutes than apply HQ.

    I apply the retin-a after I wash. I wait about 10-20 min. then apply the hq. I don't know if it makes much difference if I wait an additional 10-20 min before applying the hq, because my skin is peeling like crazy and the new skin underneath is noticeably lighter.

    Oh thanks for the response! So I was kind of already on the right track.

    Maybe I shoud try your approach golden girl. I usually mix the retin a with the hq and fair and white gel and serum and rub on my face three times a day.. for the past week, my face has been peeling like crazy and pushing a little of the acne to the core but I have gone three shades lighter in one week.. I am soooo light now I think I need to slow down but I am addicted lol. Retin a has caused me to break out a little so just waiting for it to clear.

    Sagluva, three shades lighter in one week! Congrats. I'm 1/2 to 1 shade lighter plus my original color is still shedding, it is beginning to even out more though. I apply the hq 1-2 times a day, retin-a once at night and sometimes I skip a night because it will burn too much and make my skin tender and red and I have to slow down. But, I'm going to stay at this pace because I'm waiting for my hands and arms to ketch up with my face.

    On my retin-a instruction sheet it states that it is normal for the face to have acne in the beginning and that isn't a breakout, it is actually the vitamin a pushing the toxins and bacteria out from the body and that it's temporary, so it is a good thing. My acne is pushing out too and dries out quite quickly and some of my spots on my face are beginning to lighten as well. So, I hope next week there will be more improvement.

    Lol... sorry but your name is similar to another member, except her name is "lighterrr" with 3 "r"s. Just like there's a member similar to my name golden boy and I'm golden girl :)

    But yeah, I agree with Maharani. I like AllDayChemist, good products.

    P.S. Is there anyone here who, like me, lives in europe?

    They ship worldwide, it appears. But it has been mentioned that their shipping costs are high so best to buy in bulk to compensate, apparently.
