I can promise you that it is not a stain, as I only applied small drop sized amounts of the lotion on my underarms, while the tanning effect is showing up on my face and neck.

Hi Whiteguy, can you give us an update please. I would really like to try this product buts it's a lot to spend if it doesn't work. Anyone else tried it?

Chris hasnt been active in more than a month, but I really hope he reads this.

I doubt he's a legitimate poster. He was active for 3 days over 2 weeks then vanished. His initial post was effectively an advertisement for a company that is sketchy at best. Their Facebook and various review sites are littered with 'order not received' comments, forums report low quality products. Also, the Aus store is just an outdated front to a HK store (http://www.researchclinic.com.hk/).
The issue is also with their OrganoPEP base cream, as it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere else other than their site, something like this would have been picked up on and sold everywhere.
Lastly, at the cost of $100 per 10mg bottle, they probably come in at one of the most expensive suppliers to date - more so considering it's straight out of China.
If anyone is still interested I would suggest just purchasing the cream (http://www.researchclinic.com.hk/organopep-base-cream-100g.html) @ $30 for 100g you could make up 5 lots of this cream, for almost the same cost as purchasing one directly from them.
I doubt it'll arrive, though.
Sorry to put a dampener on the whole thing, but don't want to get people's hopes up!

Some people are bad, you wonder what made them this way.

Greed, most likely! Unfortunately for every person out there trying to do good, 10 more are out there to siphon what they can for as little effort as possible.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19281221* as I might have mentioned before, the 20 pct and cheaper forskolin seems to be effective. There's a special forskolin topic over here, so it might be useful.
in the past, I've randomly mixed forskolin with a cream and after two weeks I was like: I throw this away, it doesn't work, but with my melitane experience ( I'm in for a good six weeks and just noticed a few eyebrow and lash hairs that are a shade darker, as they say it's gradual other hairs should follow and those few should get darker)* I know that it's NOT because melanotan works within two weeks that alternatives also work that quickly. I never tried forskolin with DMI for instance.
Biology definitely isn't my specialty, but I believe the issue is that the MT-2 amino acid chain is too large to penetrate the skin. I think MT has a length of 13. CUV9900 is 6, and the recent news about a University of Cincinnati researcher is that they patented one with a length of 4.
Theoretically, if a lab could produce these shorter ones we could use it and it would be effective based on the research about these shorter length versions.
"
Ah, I was unaware of that! Thanks for the update.
And yes, the issue is with the size of it, I'm not entirely familiar with CUV9900 but I can have a look into it. Even if it can be synthesised though, it will be very expensive. There would then need to be further trial and error on the part of the person who pays for the custom synthesis too come up with a suitable base.

Thanks Tom,

Time and patience may be the key, along with trying many methods of delivery. It's a shame you seem to be one of the few willing to experiment, as many people would surely speed up the process. Unfortunately we're not in a position to spread out to alternative methods as we're based around the base peptides currently.
Melitane works, forskolin should work too, I've talked to people having experienced hair darkening but got allergic to the high amount of ethanol so that's the other side of the story, finding the right carrier and checking out whether coleus forskohlii is soluble in a certain solution or not.
Just a random idea: coleus forskohlii powder, DMI and distilled water. Anyone feel free to correct me.
I have some results with forskolin for skin. However, I need to find a supplier that is affordable. I would like to obtain at least one gram of a high purity for an affordable price, and I think that I can achieve decent results with that. If anyone has any connections, pm me please.*
The 20 percent version is affordable and there's a pubmed article it still gives good results. I know a person having tried the lower purity version with hair darkening as a results.
The mixing procedure, penetration agents,...that's another story and something we can hopefully discuss here.
Sorry for not updating in a long time, but I have had other things going on in my life which took precedent. I read many of the more recent posts, and no I am not affiliated with any company. I can only promise you that I am just another person like so many who was looking for a way to tan and protect my super sensitive skin. Well now for the update. I continued to use the topical lotion over the course of the summer and started tapering off in about October as fall/winter was setting in. I required only very small applications twice daily to achieve a far darker tan than I have ever had. Of the original 10 mg bottle, I still have approximately 60% left. I know that sounds unbelievable and too good to be true, but that is all I required. I am at best a skin type 2. I also had virtually no side effects. I will monitor this site over the next few weeks and answer any questions anyone may have. To me this is the best most practical product out there (no injections, minimal sides). If you think I am working for the company, so be it. I don't know how to prove to you that that is not the case.
I didn't notice any darkening of my hair (on head or facial), but then I have been dosing very low. Additionally, my hair is kind of a dirty ashen blonde and it would be hard to tell unless it went much darker.
