Anyone know how long it takes a tan to fade after taking MT-1? I only used one 10mg vial from my kit spread over a 2 month period. It's been about 10 days since my final dose and I am still getting darker every time I spend even just 10 minutes in the sun. I am not quite at Something About Mary neighbor territory but getting close! My legs look awesome but the rest of me is just too dark now.

I am curious how MT effects areas that don't see the sun?

Are you still light there or does it add to all places regardless?

sorry I do not know the time to wear off..

I heard it takes the same time to lose the tan as you normally would lose any tan. Mt 1 is only a signaling peptide and it's half life is only a half an hour. So any tanning once cleared is what ever sun you get on a daily basis. To sum it up it stops working after about an hour after injection.

I have deep tan lines. My skin that is not exposed to the sun doesn't appear to have changed shades at all. At first I did 10 minutes in the sun on purpose to build a summer glow. I got dark in about 2 weeks. I thought it would just maintain once I reduced the dose to a couple times a week but it got even darker. I am now wearing spf 50 and still tanning through it. But I do swim outside everyday for at least 30 minutes.

My skin that is not exposed to the sun doesn't appear to have changed shades at all. Correct that is how it is suppose to work, if you want all over tan use mt 2. As I stated above if you are getting darker that is your natural tan from sunning. mt 1 is very short acting and requires the sun to activate your Melan and it only boosts your tan for about a hour after injection.

That will do it. I am a lap swimmer. Even in winter swimming in the rain I get some tan.

That is not my experience with MT1. I use only 250mcg once every few weeks and I remain as tan as I want to be.

I chose to go with MT1 (afamelanotide) because I see it as the more benign version.

It has less reported side effects, and a more even tan, probably a better safety profile than MT2.

It was FDA-approved as a prescription drug to treat erythropoietic protoporphyria, a painful skin photosensitivity condition.
 
I noticed I kept getting darker for 2 weeks after my last dose (mt2) and it took roughly a month to start to fade. I switched to mt1 and have only done 2 doses in about 10 days, I'm going mega slow. Mt2 was insane with how dark it made me with just 3 125mcg doses, especially freckles on my face.

So… does it work well?! I need some tan on my sprocket! Got a kit coming from China.

It works awesome. Most compliments I have ever had on my legs. But I would probably reduce to half of the final phase on the protocol I used next time. I figured it out pretty quick and went way down after the second week but I am still super dark, especially on my arms which get the most sun. I tan pretty easily usually, so that may be why it was overkill for me. I have a few age spots on my hands that got darker but the tan hides them pretty well, no other freckles or anything new that I noticed. Let me find the protocol I used and post it here.
 
Here is what I used. *I would NOT suggest following Phase 3 at this level unless you want to be extra tan. After 1 week on Phase 3, I went down to .750 2x a week and then .500 but only once a week despite getting sun almost daily.

Melatolin 1 dosing protocol

Phase 1: The Break-In (Days 1–3)

Dose: 0.25 mg taken twice a day (Morning and Before Bed).

UV: None.

Goal: Get your body used to the peptide so you don't get nauseous.

________________________________

Phase 2: The Loading (Days 4–7)

Dose: 0.5 mg taken once a day.

Timing: Take this 30–60 minutes before you tan.

UV: Go to a tanning bed or sit in the sun for 5–10 minutes.

Goal: Start the "synergy" between the peptide and the light.

________________________________

Phase 3: Maintenance (Day 8+)

Dose: 1.0 mg taken ONLY on tanning days.

Frequency: Tan 2–3 times a week until you hit the color you want.

Off-Days: No dose. Just let the tan develop.

Goal: Deepen the tan and make it last for the 11+ weeks mentioned in the study.
