    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?

    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!!

    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

    Did you mean 1000mg? The gluta pills that I use are 500mg, and I get a bottle of 60caps for about $21 after a free shipping promo, which I get with each shipment.

    I am now thinking of adding high dosage NAC pills to my regimen. Does anyone have any experience or info on NAC?

    I ordered hydroquinone10% from them and it was watery and didn't look or feel like hydroquinone. I just emailed them demanded a refund.. cause I ordered hydroqinone 10 % in the past from a legit company here in the U.S. that used to sell it and it work wonders on me.. I wish they still sell it here but they don't any more but any way... I was disappointed with the product it look like crap.. watery and nasty looking look like someone had a kid make it and put in a jar and mailed it.. didn't look professional at all...

My regimen is i shower with fair and white vitamin c soap and then gluthatione soap (still waiting for my kojic acid soap). I then mix my fair and white exclusive lotion with a bit of halog cream and my HQ. mix it together in my palm and rub it on my body.. twice a day.. My body has already lightened one shade... I am so HAPPY.. i'll keep u guys updated on how i progress.

    Hey Sweetchica21 - where do u get your HQ40% cream - let me know I need to light ASAP - Cheers

    Sweetchica 21 - good for you - you sound very excited with your results :-)
    I also just ordered hydro 40% from mono.net and can't wait for it to get here. I had originally ordered the raw HQ powder but it is so difficult to dissolve. No matter how much I mix I can still feel the crystals when I use it. Anyone has any idea how to better dissolve HQ in my lotion?

    Possibly, the hydro I ordered didn't work. Just assumed I needed a stronger %
