    If any one wants to buy mequinol just tell me, also did you use 2% tretinoin as in you found a tretinoin cream that was 2%? Where did you get that? The highest I've seen is 1% or do you mean you diluted the original tretinoin cream to 2%? Please tell me, also if anyone wants to buy mequinol just let me know.

    First of all let me say.

    I have used Mequinol with Retin A
    And even without Retin A.

    Mequinol without Retin A, its less effective.
    With Retin A it burns.
    So its up to you how you use it.

    I found it very effective to use it with HQ.
    Instead of a lot of different products.
    That was mentioned by dessaml

    I very simply washed my face with exfolliated soap
    Applied Mequinol with Retin A.
    And later I applied 4%HQ

    And that's my effective way.

    But again as Dessaml said

    "I do not know what works for you, you could lighten or you could ruin your face"


    I took my chances, and it really made me look pale

    You mean 0.1%, and not "1%". I didn't see any mention of tret 2%, only that meq 10% was used instead of meq 2%.

    So is anybody else on mequinol right now? I really want to try it.
    I'm a little scared since I really don't want to depig just to lighten, is there someone else using it with great results?

    If you really don't want to depig then don't use Mequinol.
    It's not a lightener!

    Lol Disagreees


    !

    Have you, yourself tried mequinol before,
    Since you come with that statement,
    Lol...

    I used Mequinol now for 3 months,
    With Retin A and even without.

    First of all without Retin A,
    It does absolutely nothing,
    With Retin A,
    That's where you can see the difference
    I am glad for my results,
    And it never depigged me at all.

    I think you are confusing with Mono

    So what is it? :confused:
    Cause from what I read here and from some other posts mequinol/tretinoin isn't supposed to depig if you don't use high percentage.(2-5%)
    I believe that dessalm isn't trying to depig... do think she is?:eek:

    That's true used at low dose with tretionion won't depig but why take a chance? What made you want to deal with mequinol? Sometimes you sound like your in a hurry to me.

    I am :rolleyes:
    I'm just sick of using products and wondering what's really in it...
    I want to make my own cream and I'm not too much on HQ it doesn't work well on me... So I'm searching for something else...
    Sepiwhite seems good but really expensive sooo from what I read mequinol seems to be interesting at low percentage and used with tretinoin...

    I've been using this melalite (not sure of the name) 4% HQ from ADC.
    The mequinol is from gold pharma and it's 10% but I plan to dilute it in some HT26 cream.
    It's like 6 euro(I live in france) also shipping is quiet fast 4 days so I'm happy with that.

    How long did you use Melalite? Surprised it didn't work out for you, did you use it with Retin A?

    P.S.

    Yes I know that's cheap and also it's the same place where dessalm does purchase it.
    I used melalite for like 2-3 months. Not saying it did nothing I lightened like 1shade and I'm not happy with that. And yes I used it along with tretinoin from ADC. I don't even know if it's retin a or hq that lightened me by cleaning up all the dirt and spots so my face appears lighter.
    Yes I'll be careful I'll start on my back to see how it goes.
    I'll may order next week.
    PS: Oui je parle très bien le français qui est une très belle langue.

    I learned they were different years ago because I did think they were the same but I didn't confused myself in that they both can depig did I:confused:

    Mequinol is a drug used in combination with the drug tretinoin in the treatment of liver spots.[1] .Mequinol used alone and in higher doses is used as a topical drug for medical depigmentation.

    Allday chemist can provide the Retin A. Very cheap but shipping is high so offset by buying in bulk if necessary.

    Mequinol is systemic according to a study. So it does go into your blood and interferes with something somewhere to inhibit or calm age spots.

    In other words, there has to be some sort of toxic build up with Mequinol also.

    Please do keep that in mind .
