    I guess you can modify the hq% or class of steroid to get even faster result... it works great for everyone (especially dark skin)

    i just bought some dipropolyne glycol, hydroquinone powder, and will get some eucerin to make me some 10% hydroquinone of my own. i have been using hydro 4% since october '09, and while I have gotten some shades lighter i feel like its taking too long. and that i may need something stronger. especialy for my body like hands, stomach, feet

    i will document my results once I start using it for everybody else

    I know that lotions with HQ normally get black after a while but they also write at the back of the containers that it is still good for use.Does that mean its just a lie?Is it already useless then?
