Great tan without sunbed 2026-05-25
Hannah C.

Melanotan II gave me a deep tan without spending hours in the sun. Appetite suppression was unexpected but welcome. Libido enhancement is real. Watch out for nausea and the moles/freckles darkening. Start with low dose.

Works but side effects are real 2026-05-09

MT2 gives a great tan fast. But nausea is intense first few doses. Freckles and moles darkened significantly. Libido boost is strong. Need to be careful - start at 100-200mcg max. The skin pigmentation is dramatic.
