I am really disappointed in the product. For the price of R700 a bottle, I received a tiny bottle smaller than the length of my finger (excluding the nasal sprayer) it is ineffective and i have not seen any difference. My bottle is almost finished and know results, am i expected to pay another R700 to get results.

I bought this product online, I mixed the powder with bacteriostatic water, the needle is very small, I give myself 1 Mg every two days in my tummy, I can barely feel it. The first two times I felt nauseous for a short time. I attempted tanning earlier this summer, in the high pressure bed 18 times with barely a tan line, on this second attempt with the help of the shot, 1 time in the bed and I had a base colour, now after just 4 sessions I am more tanned then I have ever been. Not to mention that this product was made to prevent skin cancer, seeing as I have allready had skin cancer from burning in the sun, I am now prepared for my vacation.Read More Read Less

Great change in skin coulor. No longer pale. Have taken dosage as described. Have had further moles/freckles appear, this is not a problem. However I have developed oral melanotic macules from this makes my gums look black! (gingiva)Not a side effect that has been noted as far as my research has taken me. Oral melanotic macules ARE a side effect of medicines that change pigmentation of the skin

Have used it about 10 years. No side effects (except libido, which is kid of fun), just the pain of the needle and slight seasick during 10 min after injection. My skin not only tans, it looks much!!! healthier. My skin doctor agrees. I can not understand why why cant buy it over the desk!! I can buy beer and cigarettes which are very bad, but not this lifesaving drug!!

I am of Irish descent . Light blue eyes, natural blonde and very very white skin with very few moles. I have always burnt badly every summer as a child. Blisters and severe pain year after year. Yes my parents were pretty hopeless. Just go to any European beach resort and see all the burnt little Irish / British kids. As an adult I avoided the sun and kept myself protected with factor 50+ and a good fake tan but 5 years ago we moved to a small island only 16 km from the Sahara desert and I was very concerned. I found out about melatonan 2 and bought some 5 weeks before we moved . We arrived at the start of august and as you can imagine it was very hot. 115 at 12 noon! This stuff gave me my life back. I turned bronze in a couple of days and had to stop taking it as I was so dark. Looked crazy with the blue eyes and blonde hair! Now I just top up for 2 weeks every year . That's it . I seem to tan now very easily. Now I take my jab just before I go to sleep as it makes me feel a little sick. Nothing major just a bit sea sick. I also don't take it before sex as it gives me a migraine during orgasm . Horrific pain. It does increase your libido massively and it is wonderful haha Your orgasms are more intense and just amazing. Just take it after sex. I also notice my feet can feel slightly numb sometimes. All in all I rate this stuff so highly. I've never burnt since and I look and feel great. Read More Read Less

Started using Melanotan about 7 years ago, it was very unknown at the time, just myself and a few training buddies knew about it. We were always dark as hell and everyone asked us if we lived at the beach or something. I see a lot of warnings on here about this stuff, but over the last 7 years I've been using it, my friends, we haven't had or heard of any major side effects or health issues related to MT-2. In fact, I still get raging morning wood from the stuff. If ya want to try it for yourself check out Peptide Pros, they have awesome gear and great service. I couldn't imagine going back to my pale existence, lol. 5 stars!Read More Read Less

I've been using this product for less than a month and already have a good base tan the only problem is that when it says darkening of the skin around your moles and stuff the moles itself got darker which is no problem but if you have dark circles under your eyes then be prepared to have them get even darker. I can still conceal the circles with makeup but I'm not sure for how much longer or does it stop and shades in with the color of your skin?

As a result of using Melanotan II, I now have Vitilligo. I have white spots over my entire body, resembling cheetah spots. STRONGLY advise against using this product.

Over the past ten years, I've slowly lost the ability to tan, turning whiter and whiter with each year. My hair also prematurely grayed to around 85% now.I was going on vacation and heard of melanotan so I tried it. I doesed for two weeks at .5, and then tanned 3 sessions for 5 min., 8 min and then 10 minutes in a tanning bed. It's hard to believe but after 25 total minutes, I had the most beautiful tan, something I hadn't had in 15 years. I did stop short of getting dark, I wanted to keep a natural look. And my skin wasn't dry from too much sun exposure that normally comes with a tan. Also, I've noticed that as I get new growth of hair, it's coming in very dark, like it used to be. It seems logical since white hair comes from lack of pigment. I had NO side effects at all since I took the injections at night and started with a small dosage. The only negative is that my moles and spots did darken as reports indicated were possible. That seemed to subside and even out once I was tanned all over. Do wear sunscreen on your face as any exposed areas will tan quickly and you don't want your face darker than your body too quickly. For anyone that can inject themself or let someone else do it, I recommend melanotan. Time in the sun and skin damaged are minimized and the result is an amazing tan. Read More Read Less

For most users who take the appropriate dosage Melanotan II does not present any adverse side effects. Of those who do experience mild negative side effects they are generally those documented in the original clinical study of Melanotan II in humans, namely: flushing of the face and mild nausea. These side effects usually only last for 1-2 hours after the injection and usually only occur after the first 1-3 injections, after which they do not occur again unless a long break is taken between usage. To reduce the occurrence of side effects its recommended to take your dose just before going to sleep at night and preferably having eaten 1-2 hours before (i.e. not on an empty stomach). If you are sensitive you should also take an anti-histamine 2 hours before injection. While Melanotan II was developed by scientists in the 1980’s its usage in the general population is relatively new, with the earliest reports dating back to 2003. Unfortunately it’s impossible to know for certain the long term side effects of any product until it has been used by many individuals for a long period of time. Pleasingly though, reports and detailed logs from people using the product consistently for the past 5-6 years indicate that there are no documented negative long term side effects of Melanotan II usage. Furthermore an exhaustive search of thousands of users via blogs, online forums and social sites indicates that the overall response to Melanotan 2 is nothing short of miraculous. Positive noted effects included increased libido for men and women, healthier erections for men especially in the mornings and clitoral stimulation for women throughout the day, so much in fact many refer to it as the women’s Viagra. Lastly some have reported noticeable fat burning properties and not only a deeper and accelerated tan but less risk of getting sun burns. It’s no wonder so many people are demanding this product from places like Rockstar Chemicals. This is not to say that safety of Melanotan Read More Read Less

This stuff is amazing. I typically burn a few times before seeing any base tan. With this I tan quicker, darker, and it lasts longer. I will use this every summer!

I did alot of research on this product before I started. The best advice I read (and will give) is to IGNORE any dosing charts that involve your weight. I weigh 220 pounds and started at a dose of 100 mcg. I worked up to about 200 mcg, which is a fraction of many suggesting dosing protocols found online. After 12 nightly doses my skin (type I - II) is a deep brown. I am a bit darker than I intended and have stopped further dosing. This stuff is truly amaing. The sides: Several small moles have gone from dark brown to jet black. A few freckles have too. Definite increase in libido. My first dose had a small bit of facial flushing, which was welcome as it suggested I didn't waste my money on fake product. No flushing from the second dose onward. You still need UV exposure to get a tan, but it seems like 10 minutes in the sun is the equivalent of 90 without melanotan. After five doses or so you can see the effects of sunbathing immediately after stepping out of the sun. Will resume taking melanotan once my current color fades a bit. Very impressed with this product.Read More Read Less

My husband and I both take this product. We love it. Although I tend to think it works a little better on him for some reason. He can cut the dose in half and take half the amount of doses I do and still get a draker tan. He has also experianced his beard hair darkening to almost a black when it was like a redish brown, which he actually likes better so that was a plus for him as well. We can not go anywhere without someone commenting on our tans, we always get asked where have you all been thinking weve been to a tropical island somewhere i guess. I have had no appetite at all since starting the product and at times have to force myself to eat which i guess could be good for some but i don't want to run the risk of slowing down my metabolism. But as with all things it has its downfalls, but for us the good effects far out way the bad. I've also noticed that upon getting an erection my husband seems much harder then before and seems to last longer before climax. Which can also be good and bad :) I would def.. recomend this product.

great drug, does cause some hypoglycemic side effects (loss of appetite, nausea, etc..). Best to use AFTER any type of workouts--not before, and eat lots of carbohydrates immediately after dose to help. I noticed a decrease in BF% as well as all the reports of skin darkening. I am a skin type 2, reddish/blonde hair, freckles on shoulders did get darker, new moles too? I worked outdoors w/ my shirt off frequently and my tolerance for sun was greatly improved after a good break-in period for my skin. My libido was improved greatly as well, and did get the "NARB" effect (no apparent reason boner), but it made me feel like a young buck and I liked it, and so did the ladies. If this stuff can ward off cancer and sunburn, and improve colorability, then more research needs to be done because there is a huge market for people out there.Read More Read Less

I have researched this product for almost a year and began using it less than a month ago. By using this product,I have become extremely dark and I am very pleased with the results! I did expereince some darkening of freckles but have been successful in lessening their appearance by using vitamin c on my skin. I recommend this to anyone that wants a nice, even tan!
