my before and after pics
Hi, i said i would find some pics to post so here you go.

the first pic is when i was using my 20% HQ compound in the first few days - it irritated my skin so you can see how 'two tone' it was. my darker skin began to peel away.

after refining my compounding skills and using 10% and arbutin 10% i was able to achieve a more uniform even tone. as you can also see my lips are much darker at the moment.

Once i achieve my desired tone, then i will post more pics. sorry about the blurriness it was due to cropping/enlarging.

What do you think?

OMG! How did you possibly go that far? That kind of progress would give me NorthernAsian skin rather than SE Asian. OMG!

your after skin looks so good & smooth that's besides being way lighter. I wanna try HQ 10% right now.

Re: my before and after pics
@goddess - lol x

Thanks for all the comments guys, im glad u like it. Just have the other odd parts of my body that need to catch up! I dont really need to use that much make up now as well and yes my skin has the soft glow.

For those who wanted to know when I started, it was back in June. Thats when the pic was taken.

Here are the details of what i use for those of you who wanna know:

HQ Compound 10%
Arbutin Compound 10%
Glycolic Acid Lotion 10% (for face) and 20% (for body)
Differin (just got it)
Retina (hardly use it now, cos I have Differin and Glycolic)
AHA Cleanser (+ Salicylic/Lactic acid)
AHA Toner
SPF50 Sun lotion (Nivea)
SPF15 Lipbalm
Liquorice Soap (just got it)

I cleanse with the AHA cleanser and toner every day as I have oily yet sensitive skin. This helps refine pores and stop acne, because I apply the oily like HQ compound every day.

@#*!£&% hard work, i tell you!
