I used Sure White lotion after Makari, so I don't remember which color I darkened to. I didn't, even, think to calculate my complexion. I was so focused on repairing it. It's been a few years. Sure White made me 'orangey'. Sure White, also, lightened a small scar I had. I'm lighter than I used to be in the beginning.
As for that HQ mixture, I'm excited to jump back on it. I took another bath then shower this evening and the peeling, still, isn't done. I'm thinking this mixture will give me the high-yellow look and will be more lasting. This 'fresh skin' should really go well. My feet are lightening with it as well as my, hard to lighten, bottom. My left foot is really turning yellow. I can see yellow spots where the colors coming through. I will start back with my mixture soon.
