I get asked if I'm pakastani all the time?
Does that mean I'm fair?

Its just a stereotype mate.. not all pakis are fair.. and not all indians are dark...

Its just a stereotype.. people tend to associate to stereotypes

Personally, I think Indian guys are hot, especially when they have a tan! But, that's just my preference. Tretinoine is really good when using a good skin lightener. I definitely plan to get some before the year ends, I just have to find a legitimate place that sells it without prescription. But, that's odd about the mequinol, as I know little on how it lightens and it's stages.

I believe menoquil is a prescribed medication used to treat age and liver spots so it does lighten

From the reading I have done Mequinol is NOT to be used by itself, that's probably why they had a bad experience...

The trentinoin, Solage is a mix of the two. But I believe its illgeal to distrubute mequinol for the sake of skin lightening without the tretinoin. So if u decide to try it makes sure it combines the two, or if you can buy mequinol separately make sure u get the tret

Thanks, I wonder how much the tretinoine can lighten? Like if it can lighten me 4-4.5 shades? Tretinoine would definitely good to use so it can help speed up the lightening. I know so little about mequinol, so I'll have to keep researching articles and find a real good supplier if I decide to give it a try.

But, from what I read tretinoine is the generic name for the brand retin-a, being the same thing if authentic. Hopefully it will lighten a few shades, it supposed to just as good or even better than Hq. I just wonder if it lightens evenly w/ a natural appearance or if it will lighten in sections with spots.

Golden Girl it lightens evenly !

And the lightening is usually yellowish tones

Golden_Girl · Aug 27, 2009, 03:00 PM

Well, I think tretinoine will definitely help to some extent lighten, as it helps to exfoliate and brightens skin. But, for best results using it with a good skin lightener should really help people reach their goals much quicker and even prevent thinning of the skin since it helps build collagen. It's great that it also helps remove acne, as I have oily skin.

Mepk and Imgorgeous how long were you two using it for and at what percentage?

lighterrr · Aug 27, 2009, 04:24 PM

Mpk please respond to my email

Golden_Girl · Aug 27, 2009, 04:46 PM

Mpk did the Hq ever give you side effects? Also, what shade were you before you started lightening and do you use it for all over body lightening or just for the face? I plan to use tretinoine when the fall and winter season comes around, because these days it's do hot here, like 90-100F degree weather. I want the best benefits I can get from it, also I would have to get it w/out prescription.

imgorgeous · Aug 28, 2009, 06:19 AM

So mepk5 I don't understand.. if hq worked so well for you why leave it in the first place ?

Don't you think you should continue using it ?
Since it makes you look nice and lighter?

chandani · Aug 28, 2009, 10:55 AM

U know when I used hq on my arms.. it made me darker... usually when I used it before.. it would sometimes give me light and dark shades.. now my body doesn't react well to it anymore..

This solage menoquil cream anyone know where you can buy it without a script

imgorgeous · Aug 31, 2009, 02:43 PM

Are you guys this product is called solage and MENOQUIL?

And not MEQUINOL?

I thought they were two different products.. I remember guydesi from depig saying he used MEQUINOL and not MENOQUIL??

Or maybe I am mistaken and it is actually just a generic version of the same product ?

They are two completely different products. Mequinol (along with tretinoin) can be used for skin lightening and vitilago. Menoquil is for women to help treat their menopausal symptoms, hence the "meno" mentioned... no skin lightening.
