First topic message reminder :

Thanks to Maharani, I have been using Mequinol 10% on the scars on my arms now for almost a week now. Although some of the scar areas have faded some and not too large in size overall, I'm going to see if the mequinol/tretinoin can further remove the darkened areas. It does have a stinky smell LOL, so personally I prefer to use it at night and it is like a thick vaseline formulation, so little is needed as it melts as I rub it in.

Keep in mind, it is recommended that you use retin-a (tretinoin) along with mequinol in order for effective penetration and results. So, I'll keep everyone updated.

they were scammed, hard. at least the people who took my money didn't send me anything, these people were using heaven knows what

ohh wait your talking about mq, i thought you were talking about mono,

yeah that happens to people who use mq and don't mix it with ret a

it was the same company buypharma

People here buy from goldpharma not buypharma

What is buypharma? Do they sell mq as well?

lol i meant goldpharma

not sure about buypharma..only i know is they selling benoquin tubes :/

buypharma's layout reminds me goldpharma but no they do not have mq,
but there fully stocked in Viagra

Buypharma sells benequin? Isn't that monobenzone?

hay wont you look at that they do sell benoquin, you think its real, you should order one and do a patch test or send it to a doctors office to tell you if it's real or not

i think you may have found what your looking fo

benoquin is mono, they sell 20% but it could be real or fake but it's $14

i don't fink it's real :/ probz expired ones..the company that made the tubes stopped making them so time ago

I'm not looking for mono.

Oh unless you meant dizzellz

That is the problem, few places sell mono and the ones that do charge an arm and a leg for it

i found one company from china.. they look legit :/

saw them on alibaba first.. but now i can't seem to find the mono on their official website :/

ali it can't be that bad

you should buy just one tube and get it tested

get it tested where?

at a pharmacy or doctor, tell them that you ordered something and you want to have them test it for the real thing. they might charge you but at least your'll know

i have even herd of doctors mixing mono powder in a cream for people, there the only ones qualified to do so

i don't think they'll do it :/

ma doc is sure gonna be asking a whole loada questions :/

i'll ask sara

it doesn't have to be your doctor, just go to an office and make an appointment, you wont know until you try

This great info, thanks guys. So let's say I used the MQ and ret-a and achieved my 3 shades lighter goal and I stopped using it and I stayed out of the sun and still used an umbrella, how long will it take for my old colour to come back? Will it come back since y'all said the MQ depigs? And roughly how long will it take to see lightening when using the MQ and ret-a? And lastly, surely if the MQ depigs the skin semi-permanently and perhaps more permanently from long-term use, surely there are side effects??!!

have no idea how long it takes for the color to come back, if it's only 3 shades maybe a month or two if you avoid sun light, but i'm just spit ballin

it takes a bout a month or two to see results but if it works for you, it will be worth the wait

yeah it depigs but if you stop using it your color will come back but i herd it come back all the way, so thats good if you have to stop using it, as for side affects, besides killing the cells that make melanin there does not seem to be any as long as it's placed on skin

There may be long term affects but none of us will know unless they do tests.

Is there any chance at all that the MQ and ret-a mix won't work for someone? And that person will experience no peeling and/or lightening?? Surely killing the melanin cells might effect how well you age or not??

just steamed my face and everything seems to be in well working order,my skin is lightening slowly and it's not that even but thats ok i don't look like a dalmatian or anything,

i think i was marahani and i think i spelled her name wrong but she said i should have a back up and so i think i'm going to buy makari, not now but in a month or two, i think i'll use it on my body don't know yet
