Does Mequinol permanently and lighten the skin evenly???
I hve a rlly bad case of hyperpigmentation and have tried things like hydroquinone, to steroids, and nothing is working to give me a consistent light skin tone without ruining my face!! I'm thinking of using mequinol for my body and face, have you guys ever tried it? And are the results permanent??? At the moment I'm using movate gel to lighten my face, and am thinking about taking glutathione injections to hopefully maintain my skin colour. HELPP what should I do???

You are going to ruin your face with that movate gel. But I dont recall anybody using mequinol at the moment but I think it does depig your face at higher concentrations. Whats your skin tone so I can better recommend you something.

Re: Does Mequinol permanently and lighten the skin evenly???
yea I know movate gel is going to ruin my face but I have no other choice, because I need something to fix my skin & I'm going to school soon. My colour rite now is a light brown/beige. I've been going crazy trying to find something that is going to lighten me permanently. Do you know where I would be able to get mequinol in toronto or new york? and how expensive it would be? ughh I wish I could just figure out what lil kim and letoya luckett used. I know there are injections out there that lighten permanently, I just need to find sum1 in new york or l.a that would give it to me.

Why dont you try Fair and White Whitenizer cream-gel instead of movate, it turns ur face a very very high yellow within 7 to 14 days, buy the authentic one from amazon.com

Is this the product youre talking about LNL?

Amazon.com: Fair & White Exclusive Gel Creme Whitenizer #08003: Health & Personal Care

Do you think this would be a good product to use when uve been on HQ for a while and want to try something different to get better results?

Re: Does Mequinol permanently and lighten the skin evenly???
whts in the fair & white gel and are u sure it only takes 2 weeks, because it took me almost a month with movate to see the results i wanted. I heard that african queen gel is good if you mix it with a serum, has anyone tried that? I need a cream that can lighten my eyes and dark spots, thts my biggest problem rite now. Is movate safe to put on my eye lids? and will it even lighten them??

I agree with Angel. Benoquin will lead to spots and depigmentation...not a recommended lightener and it is a depigmenting agent.

Re: Does Mequinol permanently and lighten the skin evenly???
I'm looking for something that is more of a permanent skin lightener, i heard that mequinol depigs in high dosages, but it's still possible to get a tan. If i can't get mequinol prescribed to me by a dermatologist, my last choice is to use monobenzene. I'm tired of using these lightening creams, that ruin ur face after a couple months. The hyperpigmentation I have on my body and face is rlly bad so I hve no choice but to try and use something that will depig me. I just want to seek advice from someone that has experience using mequinol or monobenzene.

I have a great idea for you,
I am using Mequinol, and mixing it with Retin A
it is the same combination that is used for
the effective, but also expensive lighetning cream called
Solage.

and i have seen good and uniformally results with Mequinol & Retin A.
