I don't want to depig.
I'm really scared of waking up with huge white spot :eek:
So this is what i plan to do:
Buy some Ht26 cream(it does not lighten at all but makes the skin smoothe and is great for oily skin,i think i can use it as base cause it does not have any harsh chemical in it),
Buy some mequinol 10% from gold pharma
Mix the 2 together with some tretinoin(since it's 10% i will have to use much more ht26 than mequinol in order to lessen the percentage)
What do you think about that?
Tell me about your experience with mequinol:)

Misty,mequinol higher than two percent could cause satellite depigmentation,like monobenzone,
And how will you know you've got the percentage right? What is you think you do and well one day you wake up with a white patch on your foot when you just applied it to your face and depigmenting sometimes can not be reversed especially with something like a chemical that can just choose where to start!
Try RA and HQ this combo seems to be doing just fine with others,just the thing is with retin a,you need to find what's good for you.
Go from weakest to the strongest your skin can tolerate. Or just stick to what works for you.

From what I'm reading mequinol is a cross out for me. Reasons being it has to come from greece,it only comes in 10g tubes,or 20g.
It just doesn't seem maintanable.
You know how long can You really keep such a routine up
I'd like to walk into a shope buy what I need and be able yo do that at will...

Just all this,ill order from this online chemist to that online chemist doesn't seem maintainable
I figure ill be lightening for the rest of my life so the regime,has to be maintainable and affordable.

Sorry about the longgg post I just had to tell some one.
Sorry
Thanks for reading

I am currently using it and so far its OK, my skin is peeling like crazy. I'll post results in a month or so
