Posted 29 Jun 2009

I have been using Melanotan 2 tanning injections now for 6 months and after the initial nausea, headaches and 'flushes' all of which disappeared after a week. I look and feel great.

It initially took 23 injections to acheive the desired colour and now I only have to inject once a week. I researched the product for 2 years before trying it and have the Melanotan 2 shipped from the States as opposed to buying it from the internet which is often made in China and contains filler - mannitol (organic sugar)not harmful but a total waste of money.
I would definately recommend it,no more harmful rays, dried out skin or smelly fake tan!
Happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: name not provided

Whereas it is not illegal to buy Melanotan 2, it is illegal to sell, therefore I do not wish to name the person who provides me with it.

hi, would you mind telling me where you buy from. been wanting to try it for months, but seems like most u.s. dealers have fillers or bad reviews. any info would be much appreciated. thx

Hi www.melanotanmagic.com These have been very good suppliers. 99.8% pure! Are you in the U.S. as I don't think they will supply to the States.
casey h 7 Aug 2009
yes i am in the u.s...i figured ordering from in the states would be safer, however if you know any good euro suppliers that ship to the states that would be helpful..in the meantime ill check out melanotanmagic..thx again!

Hi,could you send me address where to order it from please?Also I bought it from the melotan site online and have been using it for a few days,bit confused,how many days build up period and how much would you recommend?And can you use it on holiday and how much?sorry just doesnt state on leaflet and Im afraid of using too much....

Just dont use it, you can see how bad the instructions are, it is illegal in this country because it is not gone through the testing required!!!

Hi, I have been using melotan for a couple of months now and can't believe how bronzed my skin is, although my legs are still really white. I have one question. I would like like to take melotan away with me on holiday but I'm worried it would be an offence. Is this true?
Bev Lee 18 Aug 2009
Hi I wouldn't take it away with you. It is an unlicensed drug and I do not know other countries policies where it is concerned. My friend has been taking melanotan for 4 weeks (only using once a week now) and has just come back from 3 days in the sun and she is really brown so there is no need to take it away with you especially if you have been using it for a couple of months. Legs are always the last thing to colour, you will find that they will turn brown much quicker now in the sun. Happy hols!

Depending on skin type, Normal skin type 50mg (50 injections)

I'm 100% Irish with freckles and pale skin. I don't really tan,will this product give me more freckles or just help me bronze in the sun?
Bev Lee 3 Apr 2010
Everyone gets more freckles regardless. You may need more injections and a few sessions on the sunbed(approx 50 injecs). You will tan without exposure to the sun or sunbed. My tan was without any sun or use of the sunbed

Also, Im not interested in having an increase in libido and decrease in my appetite. Do you recommend Melanoaton 1?
Bev Lee 3 Apr 2010
Hi You can use Melanotan 2 This will, without a doubt, increase so really, really, be prepared!! If you inject in a morning it will decrease your appetite but most people prefer to inject before bed as some side effects include nausea and 'flushing' This does subside after a couple of weeks and worth the results.

Hello, what is wrong with having pale skin? Why are we not promoting that people should learn to like themselves as they are. It is illegal in the UK because it has not gone through the testing required who knows what the long term side effects are, if you have moles or freckles they will darken with this product therefore masking the apperance of melanomas, injecting yourself how bad is that again a risk of infection. The overall result Bev looks fake!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion...however, I find when someone has something unpleasant to say they use the nickname 'anon' another keyboard warrior! You don't like it...don't use it! Simple...

hello Bev.. sorry to ask you more questions.. but... im really scared of needles... and am wondering how big the needle is you have to insert into yourself? does it hurt? Also... the freckle downside.... are they really bad? Thanks for taking time to reply x

hi bev. wow your colour is great you look amazing. anyway, like a previous post, im irish. have very pale skin and some freckles. im desperate for a tan. do you think this will ork for me? also do you need to be in the sun or use sunbeds for these to work or do they make you tan without any sun? i ask this because e never really get sun in ireland :)...thanks bev x
Bev Lee 16 Jun 2010
I didn't go in the sun or use a sunbed. You may find that being pale you will need more Melanotan... My 'tan' was after about 25 injections and No sun and NO sunbeds..Obviously if you combine it you will need less. You will get more freckles but once the skin darkens they tend not to be as noticeable. I only inject once a month now to maintain that colour. Good Luck x

hi bev. sorry to bither you again but im just wondering can you recommend a great supplier for M2? I ordered from melanotan magic yesterday but it says my order was declined. thanks again x

platinumdol- maybe it was declined because of your credit card. I've just recieved mt2 from melanotanmagic two days ago. The needle was scary, but a little pinch in my stomach. Its very thin but around half an inch long. Ive expierenced 30 mins of blushing on my cheeks, nose and side of arms. No tan yet, neasua and sexually aroused. And to make sure my moles didnt get darker or bigger I used dermatend to get rid of them it was kind of succesful in doing that.

frecklyscar1 3 Aug 2010
I have fair skin and lots of frecles, also my stomach, legs and arms hav lots of self harm scars quite large too. They also kinda pop out from my skin, not flat with the skin. Could it work for me?

Unless you are extremely careful and diligent protecting yourself, melanotan peptides may be more trouble than it is worth. Generally not advisable to use melanocortins with scars and certain sun damage concerns
