How long do you personally keep and use:

• bacteriostatic water after the first puncture?
• reconstituted MT2 stored in the fridge?

I know the usual multidose-vial guidance for bacteriostatic water is around 28 days, but I’m curious about real-world experience, especially with MT2 potency after reconstitution.

Have you noticed any loss of effectiveness after 4, 6, 8+ weeks in the fridge, or do you usually discard it earlier?

I've just started using Melanotan II this week (only 100mcg each time) + 3 sunbed sessions of 3 minutes and the results are pretty obvious so I'm starting to question if I should even increase the dose to 150mcg +4 min sunbed or just keeping it the same?

For those who have experimented with different Melanotan II doses: did increasing from ~100 mcg to 200–500 mcg actually make you tan noticeably faster with the same amount of UV exposure?

I’m specifically curious whether higher doses truly accelerate melanogenesis, or whether staying at a low effective dose (100 mcg) eventually produces a similar tan, just more slowly.

If you’ve tried both low and higher doses, what difference did you notice in:

• tanning speed
• final color
• amount of UV needed
• side effects

Would especially like to hear from people who stayed at ~100 mcg for multiple weeks instead of automatically increasing the dose.
