I just ordered the hot movate gel online.. will add it to my regimen of halog and hq 40%.. lightening is a lot of work and time consuming not to mention expensive lol. Some parts of my body are lightening faster than others.. don't know how I will get an even body complexion.. I'm in my third week and beginning my second jar of hq 40%... only lightened about 1 shade and I don't know if its from the hq or halog really... I'll be patient and see how it goes.

Is it true that scrubbing your body makes it darker?. I've been scrubbing my body twice a day (morning and night) using exfoliating gloves with gluthatione and fair and white soap.. is that too much?

Wait a minute... isn't hq dangerous? I could have sworn that specialist on the tyra banks show said that it was very dangerous. Every since I began my journey I was told to stay away from hq. Weird much? They have arbutin and kojic acid creams why are you guys purchasing the dangerous stuff?

Sweetchica... why does every message of yours have a brand endorsed at the end of the message ?

Sorry but that luks very ADVERTISING to me

lighterrr · Apr 20, 2009, 04:06 PM

Hq is not as bad as people make it out to be

mepk5 · Apr 20, 2009, 06:44 PM

HQ is not bad at all. People over react to the wrong things.

That's what I'm wondering as well.

HQ is not going to like kill you, if you use it, I know many people that have been using HQ for like over 20 years and there just fine

It doesn't sound like she's advertising anything to me,not one time did she say go out and buy this product, she's just stating what products she's using and what works for her, isn't that the point of these forums to get more info on different products and share our experiences, sweetchica keep updating us its very informative to me!!

lighterrr · Apr 20, 2009, 11:05 PM

I agree krazy

I don't think HQ is very dangerous unless you abuse it and don't protect yourself... it can cause you to get dark and get hyperpigmentation if you don't protect yourself and some people say it can cause skin cancer.. Wut doesn't cause cancer these days? Lol.. sitting in the sun can cause cancer, tannning can cause cancer, smoking can cause cancer.. among other things... lol.. I wouldn't tell anyone to use hq but if its works, I'll use it and take the risk lol:D
