Hi guys, thank you. I was so worried about what I was going to do today, thank you so much Red. And then my shipment came. I still have to do what you said because I don't have that much 5% left. Thank you hun.

Hi guys,
@ lighterrr, I guess it might take a little long to get high yellow. I find that also with using my mono also. My face is just yellow now and I want it to be highyellow but its taking its good ole time. LOL. I might be at a stand still for now and trying to kill off the coloring. I was told to just use it religoiusly and you will see the change.

@ missj, You're welcome. For some reason, the idea just popped in my head and I was like "mmmmn, that'll work" How long did it take to get throw the whole to use the whole jar you have? Let me know how it goes.

I just send more for my items to be shipped but they lady hasn't sent me any shipping information so I hope she did already so I can get it by next week because LADIES, I am going off to college. I am so excited.

Hi guys, Red it took me 1 week to get through 4 oz of cream. I was putting it on twice a day. I want it to last me longer. Do you know what I can do? Maybe add it to the almond oil or some other lotion you were talking about?

lighterrr · Aug 7, 2008, 11:35 AM

Hey guys

Red congrats your now college bound, GOOOOD LUUUCK TOO YOUUUUU, tears, tears, going to miss you come back to us as soon as you can,

Msj I think adding some more of your own lotion is a great way to make the cream stretch also some of the clumps you can crush them in the palm of your hand and add some more of your cream to make it go further, that's what I was told to do by the people that I buy from and it works good for me

Wow, congrats! I'm going off to college in about two weeks, too! Woohoo! Party time! Lol :p

Yea, I'm going back to college on the 25th. My first class is at 6am, I will not be able to keep using twice a day. Most likely will just be applying at night. I wonder how that will effect my lightening progress. Didn't that Evelyn lady use mono only once a day? But hers came in a tube?

desikudi · Sep 23, 2008, 11:28 PM

Hi guys... I have been following these posts and I'm really impressed how mono has helped a lot of people here.. im in india right now and I want to get mono.. my skin color is light wheatish color not too dark and not tooo light... I don't go in sun a lot... please help me regarding what % of mono powder I suld buy and how to mix it in a lotion ?

Please help guys.. happy whitening to all of you.. thnku

MAHARANI · Sep 25, 2008, 08:53 AM

desikudi,

Have you tried any sort of lightening product before? It may be preferable for you, as you are fairly light to use something a little less inconsistent as mono.

As I am sure you have read, some people have found it very difficult getting hold of the mono and finding a realiable and trustworthy supplier. In addition to this, the results have not always been that great. Unless you have tried other things before and have not found anything that works for you, then I would only try mono as a last resort. Just my opinion...

desikudi · Sep 25, 2008, 09:10 AM

Thanks maharani...

Yeah I have just started using hydroquninoe 4% and I mix it daily with a little bit of lotion and put it on my face... its been only a week so I can't tell the difference... thnx for the advice though... my skin isn't fair , its kind of medium tone as I have learnt to take care of it since 2-3 yrs as I was very tanned before and never took care of my skin and it hit me real hard when my aunts and cousins wuld go on and on about how beautiful they look and how bad I look , and every time any guy's family came to see me or meet me for marriage proposals then she will bring her kids as well there and put me down in front of evryone by praising her kids... so then it really hurt me and then I strted taking care of my skin... thnx for the help

Are you guys using mono ? Is it helping at all...

MAHARANI · Sep 25, 2008, 10:58 AM

I personally am not using mono for the reasons that I already stated. You might want to see how you get on with the HQ. At least it is more easily sourced, so you don't have to try really hard to find it, unlike mono.

As it's only been a week, you probably won't see anything as yet. A tip may be to try and use the HQ with some retin A product, which should help to speed up the results and can give the skin a real radiant look. Use it a couple of times a week at night. If your skin becomes sensitive to it, just reduce the usage.

You do have to make sure that you invest in good sun care products, to maintain your results and to protect your skin, which will be more sensitive due to the Hq and the retin A, if you decide to try it.

desikudi · Sep 25, 2008, 08:24 PM

Hi maharani

Thnks a lot... wht products can I get with retin -A in it... yeah I use HQ only once a day as I don't want my skin to react bad to heavy usage... lets see how it goes... I will use it for a month and see if it did any change...

I still want to know about mono but I'm scared how it did bad to some people so I'm apprehensive about its usage...

I will stick to HQ for time being

Missj28 · Sep 25, 2008, 09:38 PM

Who can you purchase a higher percent of HQ from, id like to try it.

desikudi · Sep 26, 2008, 08:22 AM

Well missj28... I got it from indian store... where are you from ? Its very easily available in the stores here and u can get it...

Missj28 · Sep 26, 2008, 09:40 AM

I live in az, in the states. They only sell 2% HQ here. Which is not worth anyone's time... if its avalible in 10% or something that would be better..

Vicky_D · Sep 26, 2008, 03:04 PM

Ask your doctor for a higher percentage than 2% if you can't find it elsewhere.

Just Google, there are variety of products out there.The one I am currently using, is a gel form which sinks very easily into the skin.

This is the compnay that I purchased mine from, but not sure if they send to overseas.

Inhouse Pharmacy (UK) RETIN-A (tretinoin): This medication is used in the treatment of acne.

You can get higher hqq products just visit you local black hair store, anything that comes out the ivory coast has a higher than 2% hq content
