Have many people tried this? How many shades do you think I can lighten with mequinol and retin a?
Is it semi-permanent?

Wow 4 shades with 50% mequinol in 2 months
With retin a?
Why did you stop using it? Was it bad?
Did it smell bad?

Nickol32 · Aug 11, 2010, 02:19 AM

It didn't smell bad
I stopped using it because I didn't want to be too lighter

SceneQueen · Aug 11, 2010, 05:19 AM

Hi,

Where you get 50% MQ ? Please help me to get 50 %.

I'm on 10% of gold pharma and ra. I've lighten 1 shades in 5 weeks.

Nickol32 · Aug 11, 2010, 08:09 AM

I think 10% should do great on non-vitiligo skin
Why are you looking for more then that? Patience

chaton · Aug 11, 2010, 08:19 AM

Because my skin is very hard to lighten. I just want to achieve great result with 50% and maintain it with 10%.

I have Vitamin A cream from Healthaid.co.uk, is it same as Retin A.

Nickol do you have vitiligo?

Did you get my PM?

Nickol32 · Aug 12, 2010, 04:19 AM

Yes

SceneQueen · Aug 26, 2010, 07:47 AM

Chaton that's good 1 shade in 5 weeks, that is a good pace steady and consistent.

I think 50% would be to high for you too, because you don't want to burn/damage your skin. Just be patient with 10% or you could try 20% but I am not sure if it would irritate your skin. How sensitive is your skin?

Nickol when people say "you can still tan with mequinol" what is that suppose to mean? You don't go back to your original colour? Do you lose that tan with a bit of sun avoidance then go straight back to your lightened colour? Or do you just stay tanned and you then have to get rid of that tan with more mequinol?
