    Hq 20%
    Does anyone know where I can order hq20% without a prescription? I'm a broke college student and can't afford to buy it from a dermatologist.. I just started the lightening process and so far it hasn't been going well.. I used fair and white and that didn't work and I used african queen mj and that's hasn't shown any results on my body.. I'm just looking to lighten my whole body.. not my face..

    Well you could hydro from mono.net but I don't really know.. if I am the right person to refer you to a place.. because I myself faced five months before I actually got my product..

    If you purchase from theree... kindly ask them to dispatch by their canadian post courier service else you will never get the product on time...

    Hi swet

    I'm using the hq 20% only thing is that the body really peels a lot so you'll need a really good moisturinzer and exfolator

    Yea I heard about that place.. I don't know if I want to spend so much money to wait months for a product lol.. I want to lighten by this summer before I go to the beach.. it seems like all the lightening ccreams work on your face but on your body barely shows any results.. I know a lot of women in africa are successful in lightening their bodies.. I wonder what they use

    How many shades on your body did it lighten and how long did it take? They must use really high doses of hg in nigeria because they enver get dark even with the hot sun

    Not sure but the kojic acid soap works just as well, when you go to the market in nigeria you just ask them for soap and they know what to give you, but your not missing out over here. Trust me.

    I use 10% HQ too and it works very fast. Your face does peel, but you can see the lighter skin underneath. I used it for about a week and after the peeling, my face was very pale. But, I haven't been using it on my body. So it looks a little weird.

    I heard it takes a long time to get the merchandise from that site... I was a little skeptical to order with them, the site looks like it might be a scam.

    Anyone had any good experiences wit hthe mono... net people as I was thinking of ordering from there. My products would need to be shipped to the UK, does anyone know how long this is likely to take or where else I could purchase the products because if its 5 months that's a bit too long for me.
  • Mar 23, 2009, 03:42 PM
    so sexy
    I received my order from them in 1 1/2 weeks. Because of difficults... I paid $15 for express and it was to me in like 1 week.

    Wannab, I get my 10% from a dermatologist who has it compounded into a cream with retin-a. I will say that my face is constantly peeling cause it is very strong. However, this is the fastest lightening I have ever gotten. My face is very pale and pink. Now, I'm not applying it to the rest of my body, cause the cream is too expensive. I really need to cause the rest of my body is still tan, while my face is pale with pinkish undertones. The only bad thing about HQ is that you HAVE to wear sunscreen or you will get dark again. It is not permanent.

    Clueless how long did it take for u to see lightening?
    A week or 2 ?
    It was a cream not a gel?

    Mmm I don't know what I have but I may to work on it

    Yea, I use 4% that I got from a dermatalogist on my face as well right now. I'm still not the color that I want to be even though I've been using the cream for like 6 months. I think 4% is just not high enough for me. I am pretty dark, I want to be at least 5-6 shades lighter all over my body, not just my face. I'm thinking about ordering a high percentage of hq real soon. I just need to make sure I have enough money to go through the whole process, until I get my desired shade.

    Hey lighterrr, I read somewhere in the other posts that you have used mono along with hq. how is that process going for you? A part of me wants to try mono, but I don't think that I can have any kind of social life when I have spots all over my face and it looks like alligator skin. I hope all is well with you... plus I don't want me boyfriend to be like is going on with you... I'm not sure right now. I think I'm going to try hq in a high percentage first before I think about anything else
  • Mar 25, 2009, 05:36 PM
    lighterrr

    Hi want to yeah I def. think the high hq is the way 2 go cause mono can leave you with white spots and an uneven skin tone, it has done that to lots of people on this forum, I've had good results with it but I am using the hq now, and kojic acid cream and soap

    Hi, this question is for lighterrr, I have been following some of your post and you inspired me to order some HQ from the net. But I am really curious to know more about your journey with the 20% HQ. How long did it take you to lighten with the 20% HQ. Do you think that your successful results were due to a combination of HQ and mono. I only have one month to lighten because I have a special engagement to attend. I am ordering the 40% HQ next week. I know everyone's skin is different, but I guess I just want some indication of how long it took for you. Thank you much. I see that you have participated in 2 forums lately and I am not sure if you will respond to this forum quicker or the other one, so I'm going to ask this question in the other forum too! Thanks again!

    Lighterrr, one more thing, if you have darker areas on the body, will those take longer to lighten than the rest of the areas or will it all lighten uniformly. If it takes longer from your experience, how long did it take you? Thanks!
  • Mar 26, 2009, 06:17 PM
    lighterrr

    Well every one is different, but I applied it like my elbows knuckles, ankles etc and made sure I rubbed it in well and it gradually got lighter didn't happen as fast as the rest of my skin but it worked,

    Fyi: one more thing if you're a girl usage of high hq seems to turn your fingernails brown so I got the gel nails to cover my real nails, now I only use the hq for maintenance so its not that bad
  • Mar 26, 2009, 09:11 PM
    prisgirl101

    Thanks lighterrr, did you get any irritations? How often did you use it within the 1 month period? When I called the lady said that some people turn dark the first week, did you experience this? What did the kojic acid soap do for you, or did it make you skin better? How so? Do you think it work quicker for you because you used mono? I know it's a lot of questions--but I just don't want to give myself false hopes again only to be disappointed. I have battled with skin discolorations my whole life and I am tired of hiding behind clothes and feeling insecure? Thanks again!

    Thanks again Lighterrr, how long did it take your knucles, elbows, ankles, etc. Do you have pictures of your progress? If so could you email me or can we do that on this site? Anyway if we can let me know so that I can give you my email address. Thanks so much! Oh yea what color did you start being brown, red, or yellow? Thanks

    Oh cool, that's the % I'm looking to get. I really don't know how many times I will apply it though. It depends on how my skin feels--you will know if your skin feels irritated and if it does you lessen the use of the HQ. So I'll let my body tell me--but I will try to use it as much as possible--as long as it doesn't irritate my skin. Did you get yours from the net?
