Hello I am so glad to find this forum. I was a member at a depig forum but it says it got hacked now so i found here. I was using 20% benzylarbutin for 4 weeks now and I think I know how it works. My skin gets really red, burns, dries out, then top layer peels off 2-3 days later and its so much lighter underneath! They told me to mix weaker, no higher than 5% so now it is more gradual no peeling but I think that's how it works, its still red then goes lighter next morning, killing melanocytes and the skin peels to purge them?
Everything from the depig forum is gone but I bookmarked this girl's pictures, don't you think it's EXTREME? She hardly looks like the same person but I can see her features match- if it's really the same person.

ye i rem her she didnt use benzylarbutin first she use mono which im very happy i never used because i did not want to turn Pale white .she used benzylarbutin when she found out about it to keep her skin the same color since mono causes dark spots later to appear.but i think benzylarbutin lightens but isnt permanet which is why i want to use it incase i turn in to that

sweetcaroline

What you mean by turn into that,
is she too light?
She reminds me of Michael Jackson totally. But I wouldn't mind going that light. I guess Benzylarbutin without using Monobenzone will be more subtle? I want to get High Yellow that's good enough. Right now it looks like i just went from carmel to orange-honey color, which is not very much to me but good for a month since I've never actually seen lightening happen on my skin until the high does of Benzyl-A, and I've tried products for years.

cause shes like pale white cause mono gets rid of all skin color since its for vitiligo atleast benzy doesnt wipe everything out at once.i dont know if i should buy herbal inns or make my own

kebe

how much do you use to i was gonna use 20% because ima like olive brown so if yer using 5% i think ima need 20

I used 20% for a week but I couldn't stand it, it burned so much when I put it on, then peeled away, so I would usually only put a dime size amount of the 20% and then fill a cupped palm with vaseline intensive care moistureizer, and rub it up good then put it all over my face and body. I can see lightening every morning, you can just tell there's much less brown pigment overnight. But still alot left cause after a month doing this, I'm orangey right now. My skin looks younger, like I had a chemical peel or something. But it's nowhere close to the after pic of that girl. She looks like a whole other race now. Do you think Benzylarbutin can lighten me up alone? I don't even want to touch monobenzone but I do want to go from this orangey brown to high yellow or the spanish/ olive complexion. I didn't know 5% is good enough, I had assumed it would be weaker than Benoquin 20%, not stronger.

personally i would just get a higher dose and try to deal with the pain of ben after reading the horribly stuff about mono .like it works but yer gonna be spotty during the process which might not look attractive and when you use it causes you to have vitialgo you'll be that indian girls color and in a year because of mono have brown spots all over you that you have to maintain thats what she told me.stick to benyzl . mono just to harsh a chemical on your cells .I haven't found anything bad about ben yet and i check google everyday.
also where did you order yours from ?

sweetcaroline

I just found a chemist that explanation of benzyl group being more permeable to cell membrane therefore would be more melanocytotoxic than methyl group, that make sense since methylarbutin didn't work for me neither did mequinol. Said benzylarbutin is:
Benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside
Very expensive herE:
Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside * 13343-62-9
So I got a whole pound from herbalinn.com, I think at this rate it will last me a long time!

kebe

i really want to buy a pound from them but im a. poor right now lol b.i dont know how to mix a 20% cream i dont want to make it 80% and burn my face off how do you mix it

sweetcaroline

I am poor too but I was desperate to get me a stash or raw material that way lighten as much as I want to. Trust me 20% burned alot, better to use 5% or less, I am still seeing it knock the $H^% out of my melanocytes at 5% overnight, and I'm going even less now because I'm poor too and I want to make this pound of benzyl-A last me for the whole rest of the year.
