SH18 CAVIAR LIGHTENING LOTION
Active Ingredients: Hydroquinone 2%, Caviar Extract 0.55%: good moisturizer, not a lightener though)

SH18 suisse SKIN LIGHTENING BODY LOTION
Active Ingredients: 2% Hydroquinone, Octyl dimetyl PABA (0.5%): a sunscreen, Vitamin E (0.1%)

SH18 Cocoa butter Lotion
Active Ingredients: Cocoa Butter 2%, Hydroquinone 2%, Vitamin E 0.1%


Has anyone tried this? To me 15-20 bucks for 2% hq doesn't do it justice, better off getting the hq 4% for 15.

More like 25 when you add shipping haha!

Oh my! I forgot the s&h..

Golden_Girl I found another really good site! The HQ is still 4% but cheaper! Shipping is still high though, I think for the HQ and shipping it would be like 15-16 dollars. They got tretenoin too and whole lotta other stuff!

Cool, pm it to me please. It seems like it's best to get several at once so the shipping will then add up to be less, more for your buck.
I'm trying to decide since I'll be ordering later on today and a bit indecisive.

Ahhh damn, I lied... I had two things in my basket so I thought the shipping cost of 25.00 would be divided in half, 12.50 per item... I took an item out to make sure and it's a flat 25.00...


But this might be more cost effective if you order mutiple things as opposed to the other sites that charge per item. Decisions, decions...

Oh well, I'll PM it to you anyways;)

25.00 for shipping, I guess it's good when ordering in large bulk sizes. I'm not ready to order in bulk yet, just want to try small first.

That's how I buy, one tube at a time of Retin A.
$15 + $3 shipping, HQ is the same price.
If I were to buy in bulk I go for the other buying option.
I don't need that many tubes at once.

You know you just described Makari? LOL
In a YouTube video they call it Makari de Suisse saying it's made in Switzerland. Lol

What's up with saying something was made there anyway?
If something is made in Switzerland what it that suppose to prove?
Are they known for making innovative beauty products?

Nikki I want to know too where the shipping is $3, that's really good.

With the Makari it waqs a bit confusing for me of the origin. Because at first I thought they were produced in NY, then for some reason I thought Canada, then France, and lastly Switzerland. I guess it's to sound exotic or something, it still could be made in the process but state it's in a different country in order to overcharge.
