    There's a post somewhere that explains how to mix it. It's called kligmans formula, do a search on this site and you'll find it.

    I had written a few posts for the Kligman's Hq Formula, can be found just type the name in the search box. But it is only for 5%, you'll have to divide the quantity. Remember Hq oxidizes very quickly due to air and light because of it's instability.

    Where's your proof? I have been using hq for a while and am perfectly healthy and my skin if nice & smooth. Not to mention,I know of the FEW studies that were done and NONE of them conclusively said hq causes cancer.

    Kojic acid can be VERY irritating to skin which is why the maximum recommend dose is only 2%. While hq can be used up to 4% and higher. Also, after repeated use kojic acid sensitizes skin.

    It's banned because people in your country (and others) have abused it & added mercury to the mix. And sometimes not hq at all just mercury but still list it as just hq cream.

    Why have we resurrected a thread from 2009?

    Because obviously someone is interested in the topic & needs help pertaining to it. It doesn't matter what year the thread was started.

    Then they should start their own question, rather than resurrecting an old question.

    I usually catch this right after the thread's been resurrected, but in this case I was busy doing homework and completely missed it. I'll let this one go, but usually we should report resurrected threads so that the new question can be moved to its own question, rather than being piggybacked on someone else's question.

    Jianna, YES, I AM the forum gatekeeper!

    See that little red line in my signature that says "AMHD Supermod"? That DOES mean I can tell you what's okay to do and not to do in the threads.

    Taking your notification off--fine. You'll see me in other threads. Because I MODERATE them. That means that I make sure they follow rules, that people aren't advertising, that people aren't resurrecting threads that are almost 2 years old.

    If you have a problem with that, report me.
