So I'll let my body tell me--but I will try to use it as much as possible--as long as it doesn't irritate my skin. Did you get yours from the net?

Yes I did. I should get it any day now hopefully.. I also ordered the gluthatione soap and kojic acid soap. I plan to use both.. only on my body though.. scared to try this stuff on my face.

Yea, I just hope that I'm one even tone in 1 month. The rep said that the kojic acid soap works well, but I think they are out--she said they should have more by Tues. So what made you get 40%--did you hear other testimonials about it or what? I want 40% because I need something that works fast. I am familiar with HQ for my face--My derm make one in a 10% sol but it's a 1oz jar and way too expensive to cover my whole body over a period. Do you know anyone who has tried the 40%?

I wanted something that would work fast and despite the negative side effects I have heard about hq, I am willing to take the risk because the other products I have used do not work on my body. U'll be shocked to find out how many people bleach. I know a lot of people that are bleaching but they never talk about it so I feel weird asking them what they are using and I also don't want people to know I am bleaching lol.. I'm hoping the hq works really fast and causes no side effects..

:(

Are you using it on your body 2? Have you experienced any peeling? Hq 20%

I'm using the 20% on my body not my face!

Im disappointed because I know what HQ20% can do on your body. Im not having that type of action yet... Perhaps I have that thick dark skin so I need stronger?? It s a risk

Hey mepk5, I just ordered hq 20%... I hope it works for me. After reading your post I'm kind of worried. If you don't mind, I was wondering what color are you right now?? I'm kind of trying to see how long it will take to see a difference on my skin.

I haven't seen any results yet...
Im...
Little Kim new color w a lot of spots from mono.

Mpk you'll blend out nicely I belaive, I am only doing maitenace now so I'm off mono, down to using hq once a week and using kojic acid soap and cream and retina for maintenance.

Lighterr,
How do u mix that? Mono & retin a, then kojac cream? ( I haven't tried that) all together?
Or:
Retin a w/ mono or HQ 20% then kojac cream? How long did it take u to get to a mainteance place w HQ? Weeks?
It should take me less time 'cause I'm lighter in spots (Beyonce) they r spreading. My tummy is practically covered. My back... the spots just started spreading there last week

ohh myyy it's a lot I know but here is my regimn, use mono only once a week now @ 20%

1) wash face and body 2X daily with kojic acid soap
2) apply apply hq 5% now on face like 2X daily and twice daily on body
3) apply kojic acid cream once usually @ night prior to going asleep
4) apply retina cream every morning
5) taking vitamin c pills

I'm going to add gluthathion pills cause I believe they will help to prepare my body to remain lightened

so as you can see I got the colour that I want but that's just the beginning maintenance takes a lot of time and effort also

Wow mepk5, your like little kim's new color? That's really nice. I wish I could be that color. I'm like oprah's skin color and I want to be as white as possible, but I just don't know what's the best way to go. I think if I use the hq20% it's probably going to take me years to see the results I wants. lighterrr and mepk5, what do you guys recommend me to do. I'm so confused and starting to get discouraged, because I have tried l glutathione pills for like a year, and that didn't help. I've been using hq 4% only on my face only and I saw barely any lightening. I just don't know what to do...

I don't think it s a lot. I haven tried kojiic cream. Does mono net sell it? U use retin cream in the day? U have 2 watch retin a in the sun. u will be a cheetah girl like me! I tried the kojic acid soap on my face. It's strong, turned me red. I tried 2 leave the soap on my body for a minute or 2... itchy itchy sting stingy 2 lol. I read there is no proof that gluthathion pills work, maybe they will maintain r shade.
See!! I didn't take pills... the mono is still in my system. Moving down my body. One boob is almost completely covered... almost a chocolate swirl milk shake! LOL

4% will take u just so far. I simply wanted to get rid of my darker arms, hands. I got a few colors before the spots. Ill let u know if the HQ work.

mepk5 what percentage mono were you using? Did you get it from the .net people? How long before you saw results.
Im trying to choose between mono and hq atm, I really want to c some results soon, Which would you recommend? Thanks Jojo

Jo stay away from mono and use HQ cause you'll see better results.
I used mono for a few months I got some white spots, they where bad before but now there better cause I used the HQ to balance out my skin, because of the mono usage it gave me a high yellow to pale undertone to my skin and I like that.

Mpk now you got me scared about the retina I just started it this week.
And I'm going to africa next month, what should I do, should I stop the retina cause I'm going to be in the hot sun soon.

I mixed mono down to 20% I didn't see anything for 3 months then I stopped a try something else. Then I got spots. I think I shouldn't have stopped abruptly & tried Benzarbutin also.
Lighterr retin a will be a nightmare in that type of sun & heat... use it at night only. Get the 100% sunscreen moisturise moisturise.

Thxxx girlie I will, you know I'm going to avoid going out when the sun is strongest lmao @ me

Can someone please post the link to the site where I can get 20% hq, beacause every time I go, it brings up a software site!!

Check you pm I sent it to you :)

I had the same problem... lol... it's actually monobenzone.net. I just checked it out... I thought about starting with HQ 40% because I need something strong for my elbows and knees but man it's expensive. I suppose you only use a drop, huh?

Aren't you guys scared of the effects of hq?

Naw it harmless & not a lifelong thing

Mpk I could not have said it better myself, you just beat me 2 it:D

Lighterrr how many shades lighter have you got with hq?

After my pregnancy I went back to being like a whoopie goldberg colour now I'm like a beyounce colour, I can send you my pics if you like, but I used hq with a combination of other lightening products. You can pm me and ill send you my pics

Hmm really?
And how long has it been since you've been using this?
You must exfoliate a lot...
Let me know if anything happens in the future o_o
I have read that:
Hq will leave marks
Hq turns people darker than they really are after a time of using it.
