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

another seller in india? Is that Anil? because if it is, he never asked what kind i wanted! lol

With powder...it depends...they usually say the whiter it is, the better and purer it is... That is going by professional companies that sell the material to chemists...

no, not anil. Anil said his powder is 99%+ but whether it is or not I don't know. Same in my case too. Yes the whiter it is the more pure it is. I read somewhere that at 98% the powder is brown.

So does this difference in purity give faster results, or better quality whitening, or______?

Well Anil told me his was 98% purity, so im not sure what colour it will arrive but i will let you know...

I also don't know enough to say if the white powder works quicker..id say it would as its a higher purity?

I guess all we can do is trial and error.. So if you get the white powder and let us know how you go... and i will let you know how i go with the powder i get from anil... We are bound to find a supplier that has a legit premium powder to buy from...

mj how long have you been doing skin whitening? Have you been on monobenzone in the past? From what I can tell you are already of a white origin (same here) so...does it really take that long for a white person to depigment completely (I am assuming you are using whitening products since 2006)? I am asking because apart from kojic acid which I used during last winter (it worked a bit made me one shade lighter) I have no other experience.

Thanks

Yes i am white but not pale..and i do have vitiligo, but only 10 percent, and no one can really notice as my skin is quite light anyway.. With depigmenting, for light skin people it doesnt take that long to depigment as we don't have that much melanin to kill..so it works quicker for us. The guy i was chatting to a couple of years ago who depigged in 8 months was also light skin, and he started off using 10 percent, then went to 20 percent and then stayed on 40 percent for the last 3 months i think..
I have been using products since 2006 yes, but i stopped for a while because i came across a bad mono batch that had other stuff in it and it made me sick, so i stopped, and then started again and used cream from 7unite which was really good, but they mix other chemicals into the cream which is bad for the body, but i did lighten the most with their product, anyway i stopped again, and i gained colour back, and only in the last couple of weeks have i started again, using the fair n glow stuff which has turned me tanned again! i dont understand it...one day tan, one day light..i dont know whats causing it, but anyway, i have 2 jars left i think so when im through with them, i will start on the powder from anil and make my own cream and give it two weeks and see what happens with my skin and then i will post up photos and let people know how its working...

well good luck! last year I used diana stadler lotion and kojic acid soap (got it on eBay)...i only put it on for about 2 weeks and it made me a shade lighter...people noticed cause a coworker said my face looked pale...i don't know if that was because i was wearing white makeup also and made it even more noticable. Now I am back to my italian skin colour which some people find sexy but I don't really like.

In regards to the photos..get a photo now (the before) and then take a photo after two weeks (the after) so we can compare. I heard of people who went a shade or two lighter in just two weeks!

But what would be the advantage over USP mono to normal mono? Please do explain because just a color difference wont justify the difference in price if both can get the work done.
