    How can I achieve the Oatmeal color, MJ in 87-88 era.
    Is it possible, to use monobenzone,
    Or something else

    And only become, what Michael Jackson was in 87-88


    This oatmeal, color, without becoming plain white, as he ended up to be.
    And stop it there,

    Cute pics of Michael here, and he is on one knee proposing perhaps... to me?

    I have heard many say he may have use hydroquinone during that time. Possibly a prescription hq?

    I am almost achieving his color,
    I look a lot like him on the first picture,
    But I feel like, I am almost one shade away or something

    I have been using
    Retin A, and HQ and movate,

    It stinks a lot but it does help and it peels.

    I am scared to use monobenzone, but I don't know if I can achieve,
    That one shade extra with the Retin A and 4% HQ

    In the second pic I don't see many golden tones in comparison with the first pic. Mobster how many shades were you able to lighten and how long did it take to reach your new shade? To look like the 80's and before MJ is pretty cool. Are you not concerned of the side effets of movate such as stretch marks and acne? I'm sure you can do well without it. I think it as Sagluva who used hq/retin-a/ and fair&white exclusive whitenizer gel and was able to lighten 3 shades in a short time.

    One of the ways to see how well you are lightening is to take photos in good and similar lighting an compare them.

    I can easily notice when I'm lightening,
    As my face becomes, reddish.
    When I used first time the Retin A.

    I got a little bit acne, but I read the package, and it said,
    That it will go away quickly,
    And that was no reason to discontinue,

    So I keep using it, and now the acne thing is gone,
    And the skin peels off easily,


    Before I used Mequionol and HQ,

    I have now lightened about 2 shades.
