Melanotan 2 Before and Afters from Reddit Users

1. Ginger Melanotan 2 Results

My results as a ginger
by u/Which_Breadfruit8533 in Melanotan2

This user already had a slight tan before using MT2. On days when he was using MT2, he spent several hours in the sun. His dosage was relatively low. He wrote:

"Started with 0.1 (100 mcg) daily. That worked insanely fast for me (a lot of moles), so I cut it down after 1.5 weeks to like twice per week 0.1. And only on tanning days."

He also used sunscreen with SPF 30. As negative effects, he noticed new freckles and moles.

by u/jgreen3990 in Melanotan2

This skin type 1 user used MT2 over 2.5 months with UV index 5-9. Regarding his dosage, he wrote:

"Started off with 50 mcg to see if I had any major side affects which I didn't and immediately went up to 250 mcg everytime I got UV which was twice a week. I eventually moved my way up to 500 mcg everytime I tanned which is when I really started noticing results. Got my first tan line in 3 weeks and it only took off from there, overall I rate mt2 a 10/10 as I've never had a tan in my life."

He rated MT2 as 10/10, but noted approximately 15 new moles and freckles.

Perhaps the best-documented transformation comes from a redheaded Australian who took MT2 over 60 days. Within these two months, he developed an intense tan. You can find his detailed Reddit post here.

He meticulously documented his experience – from daily dosage to occurring side effects. His experience report is definitely worth reading. Here are his dosages:

• Total dosage: 7 vials over 65 days
• Daily dosage: 1000 mcg
• Lowest dosage: 500 mcg
• Highest dosage: 2500 mcg (led to stronger side effects)
• Location: Melbourne, Australia

Conclusion

The results clearly show that Melanotan 2 has a strong effect on skin pigmentation. Even for people with very fair skin (Skin Type 1) who normally don't develop a tan. Even gingers can get tanned with Melanotan 2.

Users who were already darker responded better to MT2 and generally tanned faster. For lighter users, it took up to 3 weeks for the first tan to develop (see example 4).

Almost all users experienced side effects, including the formation of new moles or freckles, erections, increased libido, mood swings, and occasional nausea.
