This is my second go around with the Melanotan II and I am getting the same results. I am freckled and don't get very dark naturally. I have brown hair, but a red beard, so it is quite obvious when all of a sudden my beard turns jet black. My family and girlfriend all keep asking me if I'm dying it and I just tell them it's from tanning. Does anyone else have this side effect from the Melanotan II as well?
