    High Hydroquinone %?
    So Im jumping on the hydroquinone, retin a bandwagon, being to the fact that I have like 4 tubes of retin a in my bathroom right now, so why not use it to its FULL potential? Backstory on what Im using: I am currently using the retin a with F&W Exclusive gel, I exfoliate with the F&W exfoliating soap (the blue one). I use my 55+H on the body ONLY. Twice a week I use my vitamin c serums. I want Hydroquinone, but I don't know where to get it from. When I went to Alldaychemist I didn't see it on the product list, and it takes WAY too long for them to ship stuff out to me.:confused: My retin a took about 3 weeks to get out to me... So my question is, is there another site I could order the HQ from and if so what is the percentage I should order?

    That exfoliating soap with from F&W whitenizer exfoliating soap (the blue one) is no joke! I couldn't use it on my face, it was soooo CHUNKY!

    Those apricot kernels were huge! To rough for my face and had to take a washcloth and cover the soap with it before using it on my body.

    I've never ordered from alldaychemist but when they updated and changed the look of their site, to me the original menu was easier to navigate and find what you were looking for.

    A 4% hydroquinone is sufficient enough for lightening, you really don't need to go any higher. Superskinstore won't be back until Jan 10. Those are the only two places for cheap retin A and 4%hq.
    You can find 4%hq online but it's going cost more for just one tube.

    Hi

    Do you use the soap directly on your skin or do you rub the soap on a washcloth and then use the wash cloth on your skin ?

    Please help

    I do both. I scrub the soap directly on my skin, until I can't stand it anymore. Then I wrap the washcloth around the soap and scrub the washcloth on me also. Hope that helps. :)

Anyone try 20% hydroquinone? [ 20 Answers ]

I have no intention of putting 20% on my face... that's for sure, but I do plan on diluting it down.
