Benzylarbutin. Testimonials, information?

Asked Jul 11, 2007, 05:59 PM — 23 Answers
Does anyone have any info on this product? What percentage works best?........ I have heard it is close to monbenzene in it's lightening effects but I don't want to be white...or spotted.... I am a dark skinned hispanic.... Closer to african american complexion... I don't have a problem with being brown however... For the past few years I've had a farmer's tan that is about 4 ahdes or so darker than my complexion and it never went away... ( I was in the military and we did a lot of work in the field in the sun) and it never went away even though I've been out of the sun for about 3 years now...... I'm about to begin modeling in bikini and I want to be my old complexion.... I've been using kojic acid cream and soaps along with an arbutin 5% cream to no avail for about 6 months...(however if you have freckles or mild melasma.... This works very well in about 2 months....) but as for lightening..... Nothing...... I am very nervous about trying this benzylarbutin........ I don't want to necessarily BLEACH myself and be pale....... But being 5 shades darker than I used to be is bothering me a lot........ I'm sure most medium brown complexioned women can say that they have had the same experience..... When we tan... It seems that it stays....... I feel strange asking this and even considering lightening because it makes me feel like I'm trying to be more caucasian... But I don't like the uneven skin tone I have now... And it's so drastic..... My arms and neck and face area are about as dark as my nipples and my breasts are light along with most of my torso...... So undressed I look a mess........ So I really would appreciate any feedback that anyone has.... I when to monobenzene.com and posted but it seems that they don't answer questions from new people too much........ Not a very social bunch I guess........ Or they had all been using monobenzene so it's hard to tell if this benzylarbutin product really works because some of them are already light... White... Or have vitilago..... So they can't give me effects on brown skin.......... If not... Does anybody have any products that do work?..... I have tried makari, amira, and don't have a good reaction.... I bought Obagi once but too expensive and too little product comes in each bottle so I couldn't tell if it works cause after two bottles no results...... I'm afarid of hydrquinone products because I've had previous problems with liver and kidneys and it passes through your liver which can be dangerous........ (I'm not trying to die..LOL)thanks........

Youseth,

There maybe a few black puerto ricans but there are more latino blacks in latin america than in the the U.S.A. I know because I speak spanish and have traveled to many latin countries including the you.s. Territory Puerto Rico where my wife family is from.

Rafael Ithier founder of El grand combo is black Puerto Rican has songs about black people as do many other artist.

Actually people assume half black half white like there's nothing else in me. I prefer "Mixed".
I actually want to know how you lighted your lips. Did you apply Benzyl-Arbutin(BA) on your lips? Is it pinkish now or pale?

Most black people need to quit feeling so insecure and oppressed about their own race and quit trying to classify other races as black that are not black
Omg you very silly every one knows that the descendents off hispanic people and latin americans carribeans are african europeans and indeginous indians as well as spanish they are a mixture of many different races that's why there is such a variation. However, the dark skinned latinos are severly under-represented in the media that's why most people would assume latinos to be fair when actually there's a lot of black ones also.

Kia,

I recently asked the same question and received no response. I have also asked on other forums and to be honest, I can't find anyone who has actually used it.

I been using BA for 2 weeks now from Herbal inn. I'm not sure if it is working. I've been using only on my face. I was told that the site was a fake. Before I ordered from them I sent e-mails asking questions about the product but no one ever responded. But I ordered anyway. I sent a message along with my paypal account and they still never replyed. The package looks very cheap. I'm going to keep using until the bottle is empty before I make a final judgement but If it doesn't work my next step is to order pure BA. I seen a shop on ebay that sells the powder.

I'm sorry that certain members use a topic about benzylarbutin to generalize that all Puerto Ricans are mixed with african, which is not true. That's like saying everyone in Miami is cuban.

But anyway I have been using Benzylarbutin 5% for a few days now and will share a photo if I see any result. I've already posted a photo of how I look like now in another thread, but I cannot find a way to put in in an avattar.

The packaging looks cheap, it does look homemade, or custom made. Who knows, maybe the guy who started talking about it, Sam, mixes it at home or something. All I can tell at this point is that it's strong. When I put it on it feels really cool, a little numb, like it's spreading through the skin. I am trying to understand how lips and nipples would lighten unless applied there. I would love to see that happen at some point on myself. Especially since creams that I used before, like Makari and Skin success with hydroquinone fade cream, only made all my skin darker, including my hands, lips and nipples.
