    I know warnings are rarely adhered, but I'll post anyway for the safety of others whose desire is to avoid the steroid clobetasol propionate due to the sickly side effects it gives. They use at their own risk with no regrets and that Ask Me Help Desk does not promote this product in any form:

    Doctors list the side effects of bleaching creams as:

    1.Skin cancer
    2.Thinning of the skin
    3.Irreversible stretch marks
    4.Diabetes
    5.Osteoporosis
    6.Infection
    7.Easy bruising and tearing of the skin

    8.Glaucoma
    9.Rashes
    10.Enlarged blood vessels
    11.Cracking and fissuring
    12.Cushing's syndrome
    13.Excessive hair growth (Including Hair Growth Around The Mouth: Mustache & Beard)
    14.Susceptibility to infection

    15.Hyper pigmentation (SKIN DARKENING)
    16.Numbness of fingers
    17.Delayed wound healing
    18.Acne and hormonal disturbances
    19.Skin atrophy
    20.Acneiform eruptions
    21.Allergic contact dermatitis
    22.Erythema

    23.Folliculitis
    24.Hypertrichosis
    25.Miliaria
    26.Perioral dermatitis
    27.Pruritus
    28.Secondary infection
    30.Skin maceration
    34.Striae
    35.Telangiectasia

    "Dr John Meadows, the hormone specialist who treated Gina, said: 'It was a truly shocking case. Although I have seen similar cases, this was the worst. First, her skin was permanently disfigured. But most alarming was that her adrenal glands had stopped producing one of the hormones essential to life

    ... An Observer reporter asked a man standing behind the till for a skin-lightening cream. He offered two: Movate, which is made in Italy, and Hyprogel from Germany. Both contain the steroid clobetasol propionate, the chemical that nearly killed Gina"

    ... Asked why they were selling illegal creams, the shopkeepers pleaded ignorance. 'I did not know it was wrong,' said Mohammed of MJ News. 'Our customers ask for it and we buy it from a supplier. It is very popular."

    Thanks!

    Oh sorry, I just re-read your question. I had a lot on my mind. Did you get the pm I sent? I'll repost it:

    I'm using only Hq 4% I get from All Day Chemist. I did recently write a post along with links on how to compound your own Hq 5% by using the Kligman's Formula, which I heard can also be purchased. I know that just 4% or 5% hq used along with retin-a can lighten a brown skin individual several shades lighter up to a complexion similar to Mariah Carey and Hale Berry. I have alerady lightened 2 1/2 shades and it's easier to purchase. I never formulated Hq, but pasted the information:

    http://dermatology.cdlib.org/rxderm-...depigmentation
    "The exact method of preparation of what I was using with great success was combining in order.

    Water 3ml
    Hydroquinone powder (Kodak) 5gm
    Retin A 0.05% cream (DNS) 15gm
    Lidex cream (DNS) 15gm
    Eucerin cream (DNS) qs ad 50 gm

    The HQ is dissolved in the water first, then the creams are combined, and finally all are mixed thourougly by hand. This makes 50gm of a very nice stable bleaching cream which emulsifies nicely. The fluocinonide content is 0.015% and use is carefully monitored by giving the patient 10gm jars at a time. I have never seen atrophy or steroid induced rosacea from use of this, but it is a concern of course. The patient is
    instructed to apply at hs and use high SPF sunscreen every AM."

    You can check into reading more about this 6% hq, I heard of it but know little aboout it. This one does cost more:

    Thanks Jasmynn, but I do not think I'm wise. I'm just trying to be more informed and inform others, thanks to those who warned me when I first came aboard.

    Possibly, you may have to call around and ask if they carry that type of soap. I would think filipino and south east asian stores may carry them.
