I am going to quit the Neoprosone...I don't want to risk any health problems. But is there any product (that is safe) that anybody recommend? Something that works fast, like the Neoprosone.

I have heard Retin A and HQ, but I can't afford that $25 shipping...so is there anything that I can buy in a store?

Have you thought about trying nadinola ? I know I have seen that in shops. I still think you will need to use some sort of retinoid / AHA to help with the results, though.

I use fair and white exfoiliating soap...does that help? I recently brought a bottle of Nadinola which has HQ 3%. I was mixing it with the Neoprosone but now that I've stopped, what else could I mix in with the Nadinola that might speed up the lightening?

yeah, Nadinola extra strength and the fair & white exclusive whitenizer gel are the 2 I'll be juggling back and forth for a while if they produce good results..because I'm tiered of spendhing the $25 s&h fee right now. I completed my last order with ADC last week, at least hopefully until the summer or late spring perhaps.

Cynbenet, the f&w soap I heard is good but I have never tried it personally, but you may want to do a light lactic acid peel each week depending on how potent the soap is or not.

do u mix the f&w gel with the nadinola or use them separately?

No, I'll be using the nadinola only until I finish the jar..that way I'll be able to properly judge how effective it is or not for my skin. After the jar is finished, I'll then switch to just using the f&w gel (in a few weeks) so I can judge how effective it is as is as well.

I rather not mix any products just as yet, not until I'm ready to lighten the body. Especially since it is an hq product I cont want to decrease it's effectiveness and oxidize. As soon as I open the nadinola jar, I take out what I need and then I quickly put the lid back on tight. Because I hear some people's creme turning pinkesh and nolonger working b/c they leave the lid off too long.

IMO the safety of a product depends largely on how you use it. If you abuse these products you'll hurt yourself, they may be generics but they are chemicals period.
I just started using f&w but I am deciding what to use after, my choices are:
Hq5 withret a0.01
Mq 10 with ret a
Makari
Pure and perfect.

All of these I would use with kojic soap.
