All these shades of Monobenzone?

Guys,

I think i might have found an authentic monobenzone powder seller in India but he has quoted me for 3 different shades of monobenzone powder (and different prices) and i don't know which of the 3 to buy:

1. (99%) Pale-brown powder
2. (99%) Light yellow-brown powder
3. (99.5%) Off-white powder.

In older posts by lovie1 (i think that was her username) she said there was also pure-white powder, or was she just referring to the off-white as pure-white?)

As far as I know 99.5% is as pure as it comes?

Let me know guys before I order.

Thanks
A

TBH I have contacted many pharmaceutical companies in Europe and Asia and some in the USA and NONE said they had a higher percentage than 99.6% so I do not know where you get your 102% mono. In fact I think you have been misinformed by the marketing geniuses who take us, poor people who want to lighten, for fools. I do know that monobenzone.net 'claims' to sell 102% but come on that site claims a lot of things.

I am selling mono powder I purchased from Anil if anyone is interested. It works very well if mixed and applied properly. I can also give you the recipe I used that worked for me. Contact me if you are interested : [email address]. The amount I have will last you one whole year.

Hi roseydin,
Is your Monobenzone USP? From what I know Anils mono is not USP so does that play a difference in the quality?

What is the amount that will be required for a whole year by a normal person?

Thanks

I know the quality of mono Anil sent me is good because I have been using for 2 years with good results. I have achieved allover lightening except for a few spots on my arms. They are barely noticeable because they are blending nicely. A little goes a loong way. Initially start out using a 5% solution and work your way up to a 20% sol. but no more.

Shouldn't you be completely depigmented by now if you have been using it for two whole years? And how much mono powder does one need for a year supply?

No not necesarily. I have lightened noticeably, but I am not fully depigmented. I took breaks as well in between which caused my skin to darken up a little but quickly lightened again once I resumed applying. I havent used mono since Jan because I found out I am pregnant. Luckily I havent darkened. I have been applying sunblock religiously to maintain and a glycolic acid lotion . I have 870 grams of mono powder, which is more than enough for a year.

870 grams is enough for a year?

If you are making a 60ml cream each time you will be using 12g monobenzone powder each time. That results in 72 60ml jars. If you put the cream on twice a day all over your body (as you are supposed to) wouldn't you expect to use one 60ml jar every 2-3 days? I would.

I think 870g would last someone only for half a year not 12 months. Am I wrong? Just my opinion.

their is a very big difference, normal mono is beigh in colour and it is not REFINED, its just the raw powder. whereas mono USP is refined AND PROCESSED SPECIFICALLY FOR COSMETIC USAGE but its hard to get a hold of but i managed to get some in my mono days also this mono assayss from 98-102% so its the highest grade

just like hq also has a usp grade which has been further refined for cosmetic usage its cheaper though and it works all the same except hq is not permanent, if i where you i would do the hq because of the price

Thanks Lighterrr,

Well I spoke to my seller last night and he said it conforms with the requirements of USP and it is also pharmaceutical grade! The colour of the powder is still off-white though and not pure white and it is 99.6% assay. I think that is all I needed to know! It is surely going to be more pure than if I bought it from that website monobenzone.net.
