    From now on I will no longer take advice from you lighter and will ignore your posts.

    chandani I am sorry for you, but honestly speaking how long did you give it a try for and did you really give it a fair shot, I mean I didn't apply the hq one night and the next morning I was like 10 shades lighter, it took time and patience somethig we all often lack in skin lightening. But I stayed through and now I am enjoying my dream colour

    Good luck to you

    What's happenign out here?

    Chandani I'm sorry about it not workign for you.. But lets take the positives... you at least didn't get patchy...

    Lol... stupid reassurement from me.. a guy who it is not working for either and is raving mad right now about it not workign... lol..

    And I mean the mono by the way... I don't know about hq.. I have never really tried using it so I can't say...

    I did realise though since mepk5 mentiond how the hq smelled of alcohol from .net I put so much sanitizer in my new mono mix but the funny part is the alcohol goes in and the white residue stays on the surface of my skin... lolzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Its not going in I guess... weird but true... and it seems to be the case only on my face not other parts.. other parts seem to be absorbing the powder mixed in it but not the face...

    N e how I'm still on my hq chandani in her previous post stats ba works for her and that's great, not sure why she switched to hq but whatever, I am gorgeorus do you use any whitening soaps to help with the whitening, I'm using hq and kojic acid now but I'm thinking of switching to trtinion its somewhat more natural and safe anyone ever tried it

    Imgeorgous,
    Did u put retin a in your mix? I feel the premix mono which I know worked. Was simply mono & lotion perhaps a small amount of hot water to break down the mono powders. All that extra stuff I feel make the creams less potent.
    Sunscreen should be on top of your mixtures not in it. Alcohol, coca butter darken skin...

    HI mepk5

    Guess what ? I think I did mention it to you... but I handed over a small amount of mono poweder from mono.net
    To my friend in university.

    The moment he saw it he said there is something mixed along with the mono so its not pure mono powder.

    But then he mentioned that he has to test it to find out if that's the case. He mentions the mono he has come across in the past luks slightly different and cannot make sure it's the pure form unless he tests it.

    He should let me know about the authenticity soon.. Im just hoping its fast!

    No u didn't mention it. Im sure its mixed w something to make more money... but oh my that would explain when I purchased the premix nothing but now that area spot is even. & at least 3 shades lighter.

    When I mixed the powder. I got this awful ruining my life spots...

  • Apr 5, 2009, 07:53 PM
    mepk5

    No they are not getting lighter... goodness. They
    Turn pink... I regret trying to simply even up.
    I never wanted 2 lighten 4 or 5 shades, etc.

    Now this... cheetah girl spots

    Ohh my think you should stop with the hq and let you skin rest for some time, I am peeling all over again so I'm not applying the hq much these days

    Who knows? I got to find a good dermatologist. I started peeling ( I think from the tube of retin a I added) between my boobs, inside my elbows. No Lightening! I want my old arms back...

    Hey lighterr... any tips?

    I first used Mono mixed by a friend with retin a and lidex cream and he told me if anything works its got to be this

    IT Didn't. And then the kind lady from .net told me LIDEX has steroids... so I stopped it..

    I tried almond oil and olive oil mixed with mono like Supershallow mentioend.. NOTHING

    I tried Retin a and sunblock with mono... NOTHING HAS HAPPENED

    I have now tried plain MICRONIZED through PESTEL AND MORTAL MONO with pure alcohol or hand sanitizer and NOTHING HAS freakni happened

    Now I am also applyling BEnzyl old batch after using the MONO... My skins reddeend again like it used to when I only used BEnzyll.. and NOTHING else...

    Im so freakin miffed.. My friend says the MOno may not be pure... and he is finding it dfifficult to get it tested... I am losing my patience with him too.. lol


    GUYS, LIGHTER , SHALLOW, anyone?? What DO I DO?

    Don't think you are not going to see anything for very long... trust me look at me. I saw nothing for 3 months.

    Wow gorgeous you have been through it all k this is what I think you should do:

    Get HQ 20 or 40% mix it with some movate or neoprosone, apply as much as possible. Use a whitening soap to bath and wash your face with, like kojic acid soap etc. also get a good exfoliator so you can easily get rid of the peeling skin.

    ( I had an asia friend that used neoprosone and mono mixed together and he had fantastic results)

    *** but movate and neoprosone are both steroids and they can be dangerous to your health so you really have to use them with caution**

    You may also need to take some vitamin c pills or gluthathione pills I recently started to use them not sure if they work thought, I got the gluthathione injections but I haven't started on those yet


    Good luck

    Mpk so what is going on with you, your peeling and have red spots sounds painful

    Lighterr I think the neosporone idea is the same as lidex...

    As neosporone and lidex are both steroids.. lidex didn't help me remember ?

    Neosporone would essentially be ineffective too in that sense... ;9

    Gosh I'm wasting my money... lol.. I need to simplyl get married and look ugly.. why am I wasting so much time on vanity?
  • Apr 6, 2009, 05:20 PM

    Hey gorgeous, neoprosone is a corticosteroid and lidex is a gluco corteroid, so lidex is a little weaker than the neoprosone which is like one of the strongest skin lightening steroids out there. Like I said before my friend who is also asian had good results with it (mono + neoprosone).

    You don't have to look ugly, you'll get to your desired colour its just taking a little longer than you anticipated that's all, you know I have reached my desired colour and I'm only doing maintenance now and what I have discovered is that skin lightening is a life long commitment.

    You know it just doesn't stop when you have reached the colour of your dreams and patience is really a kind virtue, so just hang in there and there has to be a skin lightening cocktail that will work for you.

    My other girlfriend is like rihanna's colour she started @ whoopies colour and she has been bleaching for over 6 years now. Here is her regimn

    20% HQ, 20% Mono, Movate, skin whitening soap, Retina and her skin is completely flawless.

    Lighterr, why are you taking injections? You said you was the color you wanted & was going to drop back to maintenance level lightening... what happened? Injections to maintain? That's a little drastic. Don't u think?
    I didn't want to take the cortisone injection the dr suggested... be careful
