    Hi Chandani, I would like to thank you for your honesty. It took me a moment to respond to your post because I wanted to go through all of your previous post to see if your screen-name was associated to a retailer/seller--and I see that it was not. After reading your post I never really saw where you advertise or recommended a product from a particular source or brand name. So I trust your advise. To be perfectly honest if I spent that amount of money and received no results--I don't think I would be able to stop crying, so thanks again.

    Lighterrr, I have to say that I really have not seen a lot of successful testimonies about .net HQ. You mentioned that there were other people who were on the board and saw results, but if you don't mine I ask that you name one. I would never accuse you of fraud or misrepresentation--But I just so happen to be a broke law student with only 3 weeks remaining until finals--And I have asked my poor mother for $350 of her hard earned money to purchase two 16 ounce bottles of 40% HQ. I lied to her and told her that it was for my rent--meanwhile I asked my boyfriend for $400 to cover this months rent. I lied to him too and told him that my mom was behind on her house note and couldn't cover it. It hurted my to lie to people I love--but because I am so desperate to have clear skin I felt I had no choice.

    Lighterrr, I truly hope that you are a legit customer with real results and that you wouldn't try to scam people for whatever reason, because if you are--you are messing with people lives and money and that hurts!!

    I Hv to say that I hope you re not a seller lighter, becos if people say something doesn't work for them then advice them to try something else, don't tell them to try the same product at a higher strength, that sounds very sellerish to me. I have not heard anything good about the mono.net people from all the skin lightening forums I have visited so I won't advice anyone to try them. If anyone wants to use hq that bad then either buy from gardern of wisdom or skinexperts or some other website. Its not that serious and it works, look at my compelxion, I am paler than anything and I have never spent 350 on any cream, I don't advice people to do this, this is not frugal at all, especially for a cream that does not work.

    Hi Cutebeth, Garden of wisdom is very legit, I ordered some products from her. I also ordered hq powder a while ago--but I am having the hardest time dissolving it. I have tried ethyl alcohol and water and the crystals still won't dissolve and I really don't think it's absorbing into my skin. How do you make your HQ lotion and get the crystals to dissolve?

    Hello,

    I am not a seller I have only advised you guys on what has worked for me and because you asked, and I also know what its like to be insecure about your skin tone.

    I can see one user and I hate to mention their name that got lighter by one shade after a week of usage , I included the member in my pm to you

    Hey guys I was wondering... can garden of wisdom or whatever send me hq in UK?>

    Considering it's a legit place... would the customs get hold of my product...

    Im really upset that Uk has a problem with people using hQ

    I'm not sure--but I only ordered my glycerol stearate, vitamin C powder, and a few other items from her. I got my HQ powder from an online photo store--if you get it from a photo store make sure it does not say photo grade HQ, because it may be mixed w/ other chemicals. It should just say HQ. You can Google garden of wisdom to see if they send products to the UK. I didn't get my HQ from there because it was such a small amount and for like $20 or $30 something. I don't remember which online photo store I got my HQ from, but there are so many--you are bound to find something.

    Lighterrr, I am sorry if I put you in an uncomfortable position, I didn't mean any harm. I am just extremely scared right now because people are saying that the HQ 20% did not work for them. After speaking with one of the representatives, I felt sure about ordering from .net, but now I hearing things from unsatisfied customers.

    Lighterrr, trust--I want the .net HQ to work more than anything and I am not trying to bash them, because I have never used there products. It's really terrifying, because Christina, the rep. seemed to be really sincere and I connected with her testimony. That's why I don't understand why others haven't seen results. I have used 6% HQ on my face for about 3 years--a dermatogist makes it herself and sells it to customers. But it only comes in 30 grams and it would be too expensive to cover my whole body.

    But honestly, I really want to believe that .net HQ is legit, because I really need to start lightening like yesterday, lol.

    Lighterrr, I sent you a pm requesting additional info.

    You didn't even peel??

    Chandani, how often did you use it--was there burning--did the cream appear to absorb into your skin. And how many days/weeks have you used it for?
  • Mar 29, 2009, 10:07 AM
    chandani

    Its been two weeks and the cream is almost done... not a single peel! But it did seem to absorb well..

    I'm think I have been duped by enough of these sites
    First herbalinn now mono.net
    From now on I'm going to try to get hq higher than 4% from a pharmacy and not some people that make their creams in their kitchen sink lol
    I know hq is the only lightner that will give me results so if I could at least get 10% and use it with retina.. it will def give me results.. the 4% works on the face.. but not the body which I'm trying to target.
    The sad thing is I can't seem to find a doctor that will give me a prescription for anything higher than 4%!
    If anyone of you guys know a place that's legit, please let me know thanks

    Hi Chandani--my skin specialist makes a cream with about 10% hq, retinol, and glycolic acid. I'm not exactly sure if it's 10% you have to ask her, the # and email is on the website. Here cream works really good--but I only used it on my face. I don't know how it works on the body. I didn't try it on my body because the cream only comes in 30g and it's $21/cream--so I would be spending about $400 for only 16 ounces and that's way too expensive for me. She has a website but I don't know what it is, I Google "tara's cream" and it comes up. Her full name is Tara Rhuebottom and she is a black skin care specialists.

    I tried the 4% from neo strata it came in a little tube for like 50 dollars I bought both the cream and gel and only applied to my face cause the tube was so small and it didn't work for me, maybe you guys have used too much skin lighteners and your skin has developed a tolerance? N e how I feel bad for you guys and you should ask for your money back.

    Look I am sorry if you feel that I mislead you guys, I only recommended what worked for me

    Thanks grl I'm going to check her out.. I know glycolic and retina wrks really well wit hq so as long its real hq and higher than 4% it should wrk.. do you only contact her online and over the phone or do you go to see her and if so is she located in nyc? Soo it did wrk on your face? Have you ever tried it nywhere othr than your face? Right now I want this so bad.. that if it wrks I'm willing to spend money if needed.. BUT ONLY IF IT WORKS
    Thanks for the help :)
