I've been using ambi fade cream(2% HQ) for nearly 3 months, and I am nearing my "HQ-resting period" of giving my skin a break from HQ products. My problem is I have no idea what type of product(s) I can use to replace it that are effective and won't allow my skin to revert. So far this current HQ regime has been working:

*Normal A.M.*
- Wash with Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating cleanser
- Dry face and apply 20% vit c serum to areas affected by hyperpigmentation
- Wait 5-10 mimutes then apply Ambi fade cream on affected areas
- Wait 2-5 minutes before applying Ambi Even & Clear Moisturizer with SPF 30

*Normal P.M.*
- Wash face with coconut oil to remove makeup
- Wash face twice with Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating cleanser to remove residue
- Dry face and apply 2.5% retinol serum(also contains 20% vit c)
- Wait 5-10 minutes before applying Ambi Fade cream
- Apply Ambi Even & Clear moisturizer

*Sunday & Wednesday P.M.*
- Wash face with coconut oil to remove makeup
- Wash face twice with Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating cleanser to remove residue
- Wash face with St. Ives Pink Lemon & Mandarin Orange Scrub to exfoliate
- Dry face and apply vit c
- Wait 2-5 minutes apply Ambi fade cream
- Wait 5 minutes and apply thick layer of Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Mask. Let it sit for 5 minutes before blotting off excess


Can anyone offer any suggestions? I've tried to browse the forums for example HQ-free regimes, but all of them seem too complex with dozens of products and I want something fairly and cheap yet effective because I'm on a tight budget :p

Also is there anyway I can change my username on here?
