Have many people tried this? How many shades do you think I can lighten with mequinol and retin a?
Is it semi-permanent?

Back then I've lighten like 4 shades in 2 months with 50% lotion I made by myself
But I stopped using it and now I on HQ 4% and Retin a regime

Wow 4 shades with 50% mequinol in 2 months
With retin a?
Why did you stop using it? Was it bad?
Did it smell bad?

It didn't smell bad
I stopped using it because I didn't want to be too lighter

Great!! I want to use it

Hi,

Where you get 50% MQ ? Please help me to get 50 %.

I'm on 10% of gold pharma and ra. I've lighten 1 shades in 5 weeks.

I think 10% should do great on non-vitiligo skin
Why are you looking for more then that? Patience

Because my skin is very hard to lighten. I just want to achieve great result with 50% and maintain it with 10%.

I have Vitamin A cream from Healthaid.co.uk, is it same as Retin A.

Nickol do you have vitiligo?

Did you get my PM?

Yes

Chaton that's good 1 shade in 5 weeks, that is a good pace steady and consistent.

I think 50% would be to high for you too, because you don't want to burn/damage your skin. Just be patient with 10% or you could try 20% but I am not sure if it would irritate your skin. How sensitive is your skin?

Nickol when people say "you can still tan with mequinol" what is that suppose to mean? You don't go back to your original colour? Do you lose that tan with a bit of sun avoidance then go straight back to your lightened colour? Or do you just stay tanned and you then have to get rid of that tan with more mequinol?
