    IF ANYONE EVER TELLS ANY OF YOU THAT GOD IS NOT REAL--DON'T EVER BELIEVE IT!! So I'm sitting in class today right (I'm a weekend student @ Cooley)--mind you I didn't even sleep last night because I was so worried because I was really counting on .net and when I read some of your posts--I'm thinking like my dreams of lightening are over unless I win the lottery--and since I don't play the lottery, that would be virtually impossible. Okay guys so I sitting there--and all of a sudden GOD speaks to me and tell me to take 1/4 cup of the mixture of HQ that I had already prepared (as I stated in my previous post I ordered HQ powder, but no matter what I did--it just wouldn't dissolve) which is like a 46-50% concentration (if you don't remember how to do % concentration from chemistry in high school--ancient history, lol-- just Google it--but generally you would just divide the amt of ounces of HQ by the total amt of ounces of the total solution/cream), and 1/4 cup of water and boil on high for 1-2 min. In addition, before applying the cream--I showered and exfoliated with St. Ives scrub (the blemish free one with sycilic acid 2%--get it from wal-mart or any local grocery store) I let that say on my body for like 40 minutes. but starting tm I will only do it for 20 min.
    OH MY GOD!! You, MY FACE LIGHTEN W/IN A FEW MIN. OF ME APPLYING IT! My entire body is so smooth. My face is use to HQ, so it must have immediately recognized it or something. I am so happy--I couldn't stop telling my GOD Thanks!

    Okay girls, whether you want a 20%, 30%, 40%, 60%, etc. YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO IT YOURSELVES!!
    Ladies get your butts online ASAP and order some 100% HQ powder--from any online photography store--just be sure that it don't say photo grade HQ!!

    You may be able to go to a local photography store in your own location and pick some up.

    Make sure you dissolve the powder in ETHYL ALCOHOL--google the solubility for HQ ladies. After that add plenty of water--this will help it to disolve along which store bought lotion of any kind.

    All right Girls, don't forget to figure out percent concentration. YOU HAVE TO USE A lot ALOT--I MEAN A lot OF ETHYL ALCOHOL. DON'T worry about measuring percent consentration at this point--most of the alcohol will evaporate--and this is true for water too if you plan to dissolve the HQ in water. However, water cannot dissolve as much of the HQ, but be sure to add water to the HQ (dissolved in ethyl) and your choice of store bought lotion.

    I am going to order some glycolic acid to add to my cream. And if you guys can get retinol and retin-a (the best) then go for it.

    You need to get a cell regeneration agent (i.e. glycolic acid or retinol and retin-a) because like Chandani said--it works well with HQ, because you see results quicker. Are you can wait for body to go through the process of mitosis (cell-turn over) but I hope you have 28 days to wait--as your body will undergo mitosis every 28 days!!

    All right GIRLS, LET'S GET LIGHTER, YEAHHHHHHHHH!!

    P.S. Chandani, girl do not spend your money on 30grams of HQ--it work, but so will your own compound for way less. And I don't know how fast it work on the rest of the body because I only used it on my face.

    You are so welcome--But thank you for creating the tread and to Chandani, and all the others for being candid.

    Just remember to disolve the HQ powder 1st. If you don't it will be very hard to dissolve it in the cream mixture. You should not have to reheat it--but I had to because I didn't dissolve it first before mixing it with the cream.

    Pure HQ is in the form of crystals. Once completely dissolved in ethyl--the HQ should appear as a powder like substance--in big pieces. You must smash it and then add it to some lotion--and then add water as you see fit (the water is there to help the cream glide over skin for easy application). Don't forget about a cell renewal agent--I'm looking for one on eBay right now. GoW has one, but I want to check all my options to get the best deal.

    If you find that your skin gets irritated--do some research on topical steroids.

    In fact, before you start to even make the cream do some research on Kilgman's HQ formula--one of the most original HQ formulas. Proceed when you feel comfortable. Remember, it's trial and error--but you will learn so much through researching and preparing your own formula--and you don't have to question it's authencity!!

    Also do a general research for HQ (you need to know it's boiling point, etc.)

    You guys who are not in the U.S. be sure to see if your country allow shipments of HQ to come in. If not--you might be SOL, because they have a big orange sticker on the package that saids "HYDROQUINONE"--I think it's federal law that they give notice to avoid negligence to carriers and to the receipient of the package.

    But you should try to get it locally first--at least within your country.

    When you purchase your HQ (doesn't matter the source) it should have 6 carbons, 6hydrogens, and 2 oxygens. The molecular formula should read C6H6O2 OR C6H4(OH)2

    Okay--just make sure that the HQ is not mixed with metol--b/c than it would be considered photograde HQ.

    For photography purposes, HQ in conjunction with the compound Metol, reduces silver halides to elemental silver

    You are BRAVE... Im glad this worked. But everything takes time. I know that the mono had to go deep down in my skin before I saw the first spots. The stuff is in my skin now & its popping up everywhere. I know the HQ may take time also.

    Lighterrr, I am glad to hear that you had success using high dose of Hq. I am still thinking about it and I don't wanna go into troubles that would cost me time and money to recover...but we all know beauty hurts!

    I tried the fresh up too. It was only a sample though and it didn't work for me either. Did you try using lemons? I'm using it now and it's working very slowly. A lot of nipple lightening creams also work on the lips. Maybe you can try that. I might try it too.

    I saw a lot of them on eBay. You can also goggle "nipple lightening cream" you'll get a list of websites. I remember one called "purette", and another one called "spot removing". There was an herbal one on eBay but I can't remember the name. Someone else mentioned mayfair nipple cream, which worked on lips too.

    Hey Everyone, you know I haven't forgotten about you guys and I have love for all of you, but I'm approaching finals--so I will check in with you once per week until the 23rd--my last final, lol.

    About my experience so far w/ the cream: As I stated I saw lightening on my face the 1st day--but it wasn't from that particular application of the cream. I applied the cream the 2 nights in a row (Friday and Saturday)--but when I applied it--it just looked like crystals sitting on top of my skin--so I didn't think that it would have any effect. However, the only explanation for the immediate lightening effect is that some of the HQ had dissolved. Thus, when I scrubbed my face w/ the appriocot srub--some of the dead skin came off--which would explain the expedient lightening occurring on my face. Also, because I used HQ mixed w/ glycolic acid and retinol compounded from a skin specialist for like 3 years, the skin on my face is thinner and easier to srub off.

    HQ does not bleach your skin--it only decreases the amt of melocytes that your skin produce--thereby causing a lightening effect. But guys, until the 1st layer of the epedermis is removed--you won't see the HQ working as quickly or receive the full benefits.
    IT IS VITAL THAT YOU USE GLYCOLIC ACID OR RETINOL TO SEE THE FULL BENEFITS QUICKLY.

    Hello Lighterrr
    I was able to shed more than 50 pounds( not sure how many exactly) in less than 5 month using an appetite suppressor my doctor prescribed. I am not sure if you are breast feeding because if you are,this will not work for you. Some people such as my sister experienced side effects such as increasing heart rate and dizziness. But the key to avoiding these side effects is to force yourself to eat something even though you would not want to eat at all!

    I was between 180-188 pounds but now I am in 130's I am still trying to lose 20 pounds. I don't have saggy skin as it happens due to excessive weight loss because I have an elliptical machine that I use 3-5 times a week. That helped in speeding up the process and keeping my body toned.

    Good luck in your weight loss... believe me it feel good to be lighter and be able to put on nice little cloth :)

    spotted thank you OMG please pm me the name of the pill I swear I will go to the end of the earth to get it, I just want to be 140 pounds again, I stopped breast feeding so I can continue with my whitening, I know its vain but I was extremely hormonal and depressed about my colour, it got so bad I almost went in to a psycosis and the lightening is what really brought me back from the brink of madness.
