Is there ANY way? I totally understand the capacity of this drug and how you will NEVER get pigment back but this is what I want. I am pretty pale anyway so I don't think ill get the "white streaks" that they warn about. How can I get any of these brands if I don't have vitiligo and can't get a presciption? Help! This is the ultimate whitening product!!

Also, for monobenzone, do you need to apply it TO EVERY INCH OF SKIN?! That's almost crazy, but possible. I would do it, but it would take SO long to apply it to every area of skin. Do you start applying it to some parts? Let me know thank you!

Can someone please help me? I just found a chinese site that sells 20% monobenzone cream and they said they can send me a sample of 20 grams! You guys please help me! I am not a kid or immature or anything, but I don't have vitiligo so I don't really know about how to apply it or anything. Can I first just start applying it on my face at night or in the morning? Another thing is I use a retinoid (tazorac, its like retin-a) at night, will this affect the monobenzone? Also, if I have red marks from past acne, will this help fade them or will this make them permanent? What about freckles? Thank you, and sorry for all the questions!

You should try the vitiligosupport forum for answers to monobenzone. It is for those with conditions of vitiligo, but there is a lot of information there on monobenzone and it's effects and results. It would be difficult for you to buy it without a prescription in the US.

:mad: Hey there - I'm new to this forum. I'm also interested in anyone's experiences with monobenzone. I'm 70% albino. I'm lucky in the fact I do have some pigment (I have green eyes) and my hair is platinum blonde.

The downfall for me is that I do still have some pigment in my skin, that is not evenly spread - I have leopard patches. For most of my life, they were really light & self tanner camoflauged it. But for some reason this summer, newer patches showed up on my arms & lower extremeties of my legs & it's driving me nuts!

I met with my dermatologist & he thinks monobenzone is a good solution for me because I don't have any pigment on my skin other than these stupid patches, so I might as well get rid of them.

Anyone have any experiences with monobenzone to share? I just started using hydroquinone to see what that will do for me, but I think I want to go the aggressive route & just eradicate pigment all together.

Ive wanted to change my skin colour all my life. But Im having second thoughts on it now. I have a nice colour, it's a deep tan. Some people pay for my colour... so why do I want to change it? I don't know.. maybe it's because I wanted to de-ethnicise myself.. but not sure any more.

Just to let you all know that, the mon sinks into your skin and works from a deeper level.. thus it doesn't matter if the spread isn't 100% equal. Ive been using it for 3 days already.

Hey keep us posted on your monobenzone use

I will sweety. Im also using the glutathione pills and soap.. so maybe that will excellerate the process?

This is for Vahid and all you other vain people out there thinking about using Benoquin, even if you do not need it.

I have used this drug from the minute it became available and it has been the right choice for me.

BUT and a very big but is that this should not be used by people who do not need it. I started having Vitiligo at 11. It may have stayed as a little white patch on my eyelids and may be I would have some white "moles" here and there if it was left alone. However, my parents were very diligent in trying to get the best trestments for me which meant using any god forbidden junk, from the most advanced pills recommended by the doctors to applying nathropathic creams no short of witchcraft.
One particular treatment required me to take some (now illegal and off the market) pills which would sensitize me to the ultra viloet rays of the sun and then I had to spend up to an hour under the sun or under special tanning lapms during the winter. One day I fell sleep and spent 15 minutes extra under the sun: I developed third degree burns on my arms and most of my face. When the burns cleared I never got the colour back. Any trauma to the skin rubs it of its colour and the patches will then spread.

By the time Benoquin was developed I had milky patches on over 70% of my body. I was 19. The use of benoquin helped me get my face back, not having to use heavy creams or cringe every time I saw a picture of myself.

BUT the use of Benoquin is not for every one: specailly for people who have normal skin and want to lighten it. First of all why lighten your skin, it does not change who you are. You can not de-ethnicize yourself, like Vahid. You will be Vahid, white or brown or black or red. If you do not like yourself with this colour, you will not like yourself with white face as well. Furthermore, doesn't this feed into the stereotype of the "White" race being the dominant race, being the measure of beauty?

Have you guys considered the downside?

I use the highest SPF sunscreen and still burn. I love the sun and swimming, I go to the tropics twice a year and I am the only one by the pool who will be wearing a large hat, sunproof shirt over my bathing suit and towels draped over my legs if I have to sit by the pool more than 5 minutes. And you know what I can still burn: in stupid place like the back of your knee when it hurts like hell to even sit bending your leg. How about having to use sunscreen year-round? I can burn in the cloudy weather worse than in the sun! Attractive huh??

I was in Alaska in Sep 07. On a rare sunny day, I was swimming in the cruise ship's covered pool when they opened the top. I did not even feel the sun on my body but the next day I developed fine freckle like pigmentation all over my hands and arms, on my chest and one large one under one eye. I live in Canada and in the past few years you could get Benoquin without prescription. My dermatologist told me to use Benoquin again. I used up a half tube I had left but when I tried to buy new ones, I was told it was discontinued, Possibly due to mis-use by "skin-lighteners". My doctor has prescribed Lustra-AF. This is the correct cream to use if you are trying to lighten your skin a little and get rid of some spots. I still have not been able to get rid of my "Freckles".

Also be aware that any burnt part of skin that develops the pigment again is usually darker than your normal skin and is very resistant to lightening again, even with Benoquin.

Also use of beoquin may mean that you may get patches of white hair in the middle of your eye brow, lashes, hair, or even body hair for men. How would you like to have white chest and pubic hair to match that fair skin?? Not very sexy.

Most important of all the risk of skin cancer is quite serious. Understand this: YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION IN YOUR SKIN. Fair people have colour and melatonin, just less of it. Albinos and people with vitiligo have none.

Why would you want to reproduce a disease is beyond me.

Do not do this if you do not have to. I love this drug. It was my life saver. But I would gladly do anything to reverse the clock and to get my natural colour back. Sadly I do not even know what it is not to have Vitiligo. I have had it for 28 years and my non-colour complexion is a part of who I am. It is a part of the story of my life. It does not have to be a part of yours. It does not have to define who you are.

Like yourself as you are. If you do not like yourself in the skin you are in, how can you like yourself in any other colour? After all it IS only skin deep. Self reliance is the most attractive trait. It trumps every physical characteristic. Try to get some of that and nothing else will matter.

;)

I'm sorry about your experience and how you have had to suffer in your life. But you're experience and who you are is nothing to do with me and the outcome I am looking for through this treatment. You mentioned that you became very sensitive during and after the pill treatment. If I really felt that monobenzone would cause me harm, I would have felt it and I would have stopped. But I don't believe that it will. I have also spoken to lovie1 and she has no problem with it.

My history and my reason for using it, yes it is personal, and yes it is linked to my search for beauty. But I won't be discouraged by a persons negative experience with skin lightening, I am my own person and if I desire the results that nature has not given me. I will pursue them in any way as I can to replicate those results.

I have the right to be any colour, any shape, any form that I desire, within boundary. I am a co-creator of my own physical appearance. Any form I desire, I can have and will fulfill it. I am an artist of self. And proud to be who I am. And proud to be a beauty searcher. That I am, and that I will always be.

I appreciate that you dedicated that long and thoughtful message to me, and it is dually noted, but my life and my experience is for me to learn and for me to do. I am whatever chose to be, I stand by that philosophy. And thank you for taking the time for sharing with me your unique experience and your opion.

Thank You.

Vahid.

How old are you? Just wondering. I read all your posts on here. Mono will make you sensetive to sunlight. That means there will be no pigments left in your skin. Your attituide is sick.

People with vitiligo are allowed to use this drug. But no one with healthy and normal skin like yours.

If you think that depigged skin looks like "white" skin. Then I have to disappoint you. It looks not healthy at all and its not comparable with caucasian skin..

DO NOT USE IT WITHOUT ANY HELP OF A DOCTOR..

I can not believe that lovie used benoquin on her skin.. benoquin will make you extremely pale in 1 year.. some people are already depigged in 1 year with benoquin 20%

Well it will be 2yrs for me in aug 18th 2008 that I used monobenzone and I haven't had any problems at all and if I did damn right I would post it good or bad. But it's my choice a choice that I made for 1yr. 5mos. Now.and I'm not pale white.

@lovie: Are you sure that you're using monobenzone on your skin? It might be something different.. There are people who depigged with monobenzone 20% in 1 year. That is possible. I'm wondered that you achieved gradual lightening and no spots. People in depigmentation forums say, that their skin received spots at the beginning. But it took some time till they merged.

Oh.. it is 2 years.. thats a long time..

I know its your choice.. and no one can hold you back.. but you seem to be lucky.. you didn't get any spots or something..

That is RARE

Actually it is rare to get spots. This aug will make 2yrs for me using moniobenzone yes I'm using monobenzone there are different grades of it as well I mentioned it earlier
1. pure white
2. pale white
3. off white / beige

Well I use off- white beige color and in feb I will start to use pale white so I can depigment fully I'm definitely lighter that's for sure.
Plus it takes years for one to depigment especially for those that have darker skini know of a girl that it took her 3yrs. And another a man it took him 2yrs.

Yes it depends.. I know an african american.. it took her 5 years to completely depig.. she is tall though

yes it depends.. i know an african american.. it took her 5 years to completely depig..she is tall though
Yeah but get this I'm mixed black/ white/ indian / hispanic but my skin is strong too so that could be a reason. My skin is thick my natural color to beging with was light 1-2 shades lighter than vanessa williams at the beginning. So yes it can take years

Vanessa williams isn't dark.. she is actually very light


http://socialitelife.buzznet.com/images/vanessa_williams_060707_03.jpg

Year now picture me 1-2 shades lighter than her and that's my color but if you om me your e-mail address I will send you a pic of me to see for yourself.

@lovie: surely.. I want to see your picture so bad!

Send me an email:[email protected]
I'm interested

I would also like to see how your skin looked before.. that would be awesome

Me too [email protected]

@lovie: your skin looks flawless.. it looks really good! Please don't go whiter.. it's a beautiful color

How sensetive is your skin now? How long can you stay outside? Please let us now..

monobenzone_attention, can Lovie1 control her skin color?

I'm not sure about that... I'm using mono about 2 month now.. I stopped.. because my skin became too dry.. and I can feel that mono is still working.. even though I stopped appling for a week..

Wow lovie's skin looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

NATURAL!!

Lovie I tried to send a pm to you but your inbox was full so here's the message:

Hey thank you for sending that pic

I have a few questions

The mono from china that costs $1500 how much powder would I get ?

And are you seller?

Forgive me if you're not

I'm just wondering why is the mono is so expensive

I just need some assurance

I wouldn't want to waste $1500 on a scam product

But if it really works and would give me a nice natural color like yourself instead of that depigged look

How can I contact the sellers ?

No baby I'm not a seller and you get 5 kgs for 1500.00 ( 1kg = 1,000 grms) but by this being your first time ordering tell them that you want to sample 2kgs of mono make sure it's the off-white beige one that's what I used and it like 93.00 a kg I think. This mono will not depig you as fast and you can control the pace better .

now if you want to be white white ask for the pure white mono and that's the more expensive one (remember I told you that their are 3 grades of mono?) it will take about 2 weeks to receive it and they do t/t wire transfer of money meaninf from your bank to thiers and they give your their bank info to do it. And this is the reaso that I haven't gotton messed up and my skin is the way it is.

if you want know anything else let me know.:)

O now that makes sense for the price

If I do try mono it will be this one because your color looks so natural

How long did it take for you to see results ?

Are you still using mono ?

Thanks. I meant if you have any complaints.. but it seems that you don't have any..

Some people said they could not go to the beach after using mono anymore.. no sun bathing.. the sun was burning on their skin.. and it was a NO GO

Hello everyone,
Ive been reading post for a while.I use mono also. I have a big gallon bag of mono powder I had a problem mixing it which caused me to get depiging in creases of my neck. It is on hold for the moment. I lost my contact (CAN) Does anybody know where to get 20% tubes(premixed). Any replies appreciated:D n

Premixed tubes are ridiculously expensive.. if you blend mono in a blender for 6 minutes it should mix it well enough. That's what I do and I have no problem.

Hi Vahid, I am getting my mono on Monday and Anil told me to experiment, and find the instruction on depig district, I couldn't register with depig district, they are not taking new people at this time, this the message on their web site. Have you got your instructions form Anil?
Any way, would you send me the instruction? I will send you my email, thanks

Hi lovie1,

Its great to hear that mono worked for u...
Iam looking to becom white I asked my dermo he said nothing is there to make people fair...

Iam also using mono from depig.com on my hands from 7 days... I can't tell you the results... it is very early to say... from where you are getting mono.. do answer me

Hi all I'm new here Lol. I also am curious about lightening the skin-- achieving something different.

This is the only forum right?

So far I just use Licqurioce Extract, Arbutin, Papaya Soap, and other products. It is OK to me.

There are other skin lightening forums out there but I prefer this one.
So how is licourice, arbutin and the papaya soap working for you. Has it lightened? How many shades?

Well it takes extreme diligence to get to white skin color-- not really quite there yet.

For me I just exofoliate and take plenty of Liquorice (Extract, dietary supplements, etc, soap.)

Arbutin-- can't really get my hands on this stuff because of the price. It does however
inhibit melanin.


Arbutin can classfy Alpha-arbutin and beta-arbutin.

Arbutin (beta-arbutin)is a natural double action whitening agent.

Arbutin (Beta Arbutin) is a new type of skin de-pigmentation and whitening agents, an extract of Bearberry plant which produced by a solid /liquid extraction, an environmentally friendly process .

Arbutin used in cosmetic industry:

Arbutin protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals, Arbutin is a skin whitening agent which is very popular in Japan and Asian countries for skin de-pigmentation, Arbutin inhibits the formation of melanin pigment by inhibiting Tyrosinase activity.

Arbutin is very safe skin agent for external use which does not have toxicity, stimulation, unpleasant odor or side effect such as Hydroqinone.The encapsulation of Arbutin constitute a delivery system to potentialize the effect in time. It is a way to incorporate the hydrophilic Arbutin in lipophilic media. Arbutin give three main properties; Whitening effects, anti- age effect and UVB/ UVC filter .

Arbutin in medical use:

Back in the 18th century, Arbutin was first used in medical areas as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. Arbutin was used particularly for cystitis, urethritis and pyelitis. These uses still until today where natural medicine uses only natural ingredients to treat any disease.

Also arbutin may be used to repress the virulence of bacterial pathogens and to prevent contaminating bacteria, it is also used for treating allergic inflammation of the skin . More recently, Arbutin has been used to prevent pigmentation and to whiten the skin beautifully. In the meanwhile, arbutin can be used to whiten the skin, to prevent liver spots and freckles, to treat sunburn marks and to regulate melanogenesis.

source: Arbutin::CHEM-ONLINE.org:: (http://www.chem-online.org/carbohydrate/arbutin.htm)




Papaya Soap (Just the cheap ones at the drugstore)- I just use this in the shower let it sit and it basically exofoliates.

Vitamin C- 1,000 mg a day. Rosehips?

SunBLOCK not Sunscreen

Umbrella Lol.

Drink plenty of water and some detox method.

The creams/serum I use is 55H+ I don't know if it works-- kind of does but its pretty decent price.

---

The thought about Vitamin C though... One time I got sick so I decided to eat a lot of tangerines and Vitamin C, it did something weird :D . Instead of making me feel better it made my skin whiter. I don't know if I was just sick or it was actually the vitamins.

Whatever it was it looks nice. =D

Sometimes I can't tell how white I get because I'm from Asian descent. However I've been staying in at home quite often and this method is pretty good and practical.
I've gone 1 1/2 shades lighter from this habit.

Monobenzone.com, sell raw scientific mono material you can mix with lotion to make a 40% u need to depigment
I get it in 2-3 days and have been depigmenting for a year and a half, almost done now, so I know it works.

Warning the india and china are a scam, there is a china person going under different names in china, its not monobenzone it's a scam powder they ship just to get your $

Hi S Caroline,
I bought that some time ago, but haven't really used it much. I got white patches in the creases of my neck after a few uses. The smell is so strong now do you mask it or do you only use at night? Let me go on the record as saying I AM NOT ENDORSING the above named website. I kind of think it might work but I'm still not really sure. I use the one from the pharmacy for now. I want to try it again though I hope to mix it better next time. Will keep you posted.

You have no idea what you are talking about.. I think YOU are scam..

China and india are the main sources for monobenzone.. so shut up... something like you should be punished..

People say monobenzone.com is scam..

Monobenzone.com/depig.com

ARE A SCAM!!

I feel sorry for anyone who wasted their money on those products

Ive been using mono for about a month and a half.. and I do see a difference. This is mostly because I used glutathione and I used glutathione soap for a little while as well. I am soon going to invest in more gluta, kojic soap, and I will buy arbitum when my monobenzone runs out.

The benefit in all this is not just whiter skin.. but looking younger as everyday passes!! :)

Not to be funny, but mono seems to be drying up. Does anyone know where you can buy it premixed. I am not a chemist and I know the tubes are OK
N

@nlightened: mono will definitely make your skin dry.. doesn't matter if you use the tubes from a pharmacy or mix your own mono..

dry skin is something that happens to everyone during the use of mono.. =)

Mono_attention, could you send me pm?

Hey lovie1 I sent you a message but I'm posting another in case you don't get the first I'd like to see your pics if you don't mind my email is [email protected]

Someone suggested that sugar mixed with Grapeseed oil be used as an exfoliant. I tried that.. it s a good exfoliant.. and as a plus.. it helps keep your skin moisturised when you use mono.. try it?

Physically I doing really well.. I eat junk food and smoke like a chimney.. but my skin remains bright, radiant and fresh. Yes Lovie1 my skin is lightening.. I compared my skin colour to my cousin who has always been lighter than me.. I am now lighter than him. And that is to be amazed in this heat.. and I tan so easily just from driving around in the car. I am getting lighter at a short amount of time, and I appreciate the changes. I feel like a completely different person. I hope more people can engage in this...

I had a dream.. I was at a table of people... and they told me about the UNDP.. no.. Not the United Nations Development Protocol.. it's the United Nations Depimentation Protocol.. and it starts from a few days ago! Let us all feel the empowerment of having the skin-lightness we desire without critism from others.

Shanu Ill post pictures when I'm a bit lighter. Xxox

That is wonderful, Vahid. Do please keep us updated on your progress.

Hi there,

I am writing to you all from a television production company based in Leeds, England, UK. We are developing an idea for a TV documentary about the skin bleaching phenomenon and are in the early stages of research at the moment. I would be very interested in hearing from you as I see that some of you have been using a permanent product that has changed the colour of your skin. And also from those of you who haven't used anything but are looking into it. As I said, this is just an idea at the moment and so we are interested in things like: the reasons people bleach their skin, the products, the dangers, the benefits, the after-effects etc. We are hoping to find some individual case studies of people who have bleached their skin for reasons, whether it be to do with discrimination, or just cosmetic reasons. Or people who have not tried but want to. I also need to collect some medical facts and opinions about surgery that can bleach ones skin.

Any information you can offer would be great and very much appreciated. You can email me on [email protected] or if you would prefer to talk, then my number is 0044 113 222 8369.
It's probably best not to contact me through this post as I'm not sure when I will next check this forum.

Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon,

Regards,

Rachel Breckner

It seems that 1 kg of mono is not enough to see a difference in my skin tone.. thats why I ordered another package of mono..

Its working.. but you have to be patient

My friend its MONOBENZONE EEEEEEEETHER OF HYDROQUINONE, lovie said me 2 start too wit this using 10-20-30%, m rily scared wit this (yep congrats to her, she did it) bt...

MONOBENZONE VS BENZYL-ARBUTIN which 2 start and how much?? Seriously 10-20% of monobenone? N that 2 alone?

Hey lovie you didn't said what are th percentages 4 asian-indian colour (it would be horrible if v become horribly pale white)

My frnd its MONOBENZONE EEEEEEEETHER OF HYDROQUINONE, lovie said me 2 start too wit this using 10-20-30%, m rily scared wit this (yep congrats 2 her, she did it) bt ...

MONOBENZONE VS BENZYL-ARBUTIN which 2 start n how much??? seriously 10-20% of monobenone? n tht 2 alone?

hey lovie u didnt said what r th percentages 4 asian-indian colour (it wud b horrible if v become horribly pale white)
Well I never used arbutin so I can't comment on that. But I use mono. So I can comment on that.

And using mono it would take some years depending on original skin color to become pale white.:) . Start with 10% to see how the skin accustomes it self to mono look for things such as excema, dermatities. then move up in dosage yes mono is a slow process but it's so gradual that the color change can sneak up on you too. :p :p

Pale white means Michael jackson white? M indian and any ethnic person would nt want 2 change completely, just little killing of melonocytes, I hope you understand

N which product of monobenzone 10%? A powder over th counter?

Some people said they also mix some lotion and lemon and stuff, shd v have 2 mix wit 10%?

Same question to monobenzone_attention (hey I have sent you a pm too)

I gat your mail thanks bt could u post th recepie (link) n m still skeptical weather it will make me close 2 albimo and which product and where are your before and aftr pics, people say they saw u

Hey guys, I am african american with milk chocolate completion. Can someone as dark as I am use mono just lighten a 2 shades? Because I am not trying to be white or too pale. My fact is milk chocolate and the rest of my body is a cinnamon to caramel complextion. I just want my face to be the same as my body so I just need to light a few shades. Can I use mono?

Mono won't make you white from one day to another.. lol

It's a long and.. yes painful way!

I don't want to be white like michael jackson.. remember that some people take years and years to completely depig..

So.. I will try to stop when in achieved my goal.. its not easy to control the process..

When I stopped using mono.. I saw that its still working.. I recognized peeling on my arms.. even though I stopped applying..

My advice is to use mono like a normal body lotion... don't focus on skin lightening too much.. it will make you depressed if you see no changes.. lol

Stop when you reached your desired color of the skin... use sunscreen and happy life!

There must be enough melanin left to protect you from the sun.. if you don't completely depig.. so that's what I try..

If I end up with blotches.. I will completey depig..

Cheers


AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO USE MONO FOR YOURSELF. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS HOW MONO ACTUALLY WORKS. I AM USING IT FOR MYSELF. YES. SO FAR NO REGRETS. BUT I Don't WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO SUFFER, IF THEY MAKE BAD EXPERIENCES WITH MONO. IF I MESS UP MYSELF ITS OKAY.

THANKS


I asked a dermatologist.. if he know's benoquin/monobenzone.. he said NO..

But when I answered that its for depigging the skin he answered that I will end up with blotches.. he did not recommend it as well..

Mono won't make you white from one day to another..lol

Well said:) everybody skin and the experience that one might go through is different from one person to the next.

Hey guys do you remember the brighter skin forum it was this african american girl on there ( named latoya) that used monobenzone she used it for over 3yrs before she completely depigmented . Granted that that was not her original goal..

Also the pakastain guy on there( named sam) used mono for a little over 2yrs and he was depigmented. And he did'nt look like Michael jackson:p :p :p so it varies from person to person.

The experince that are testified here are only individual of that person using it.

Yes. I know the britgher skin forum. There are two brighter skin forums. One is on Yahoo Groups. The other one is accessible for everyone.. without being a Yahoo member..

But her skin looks not too bad.. it looks kind of natural to me.. you can easily see that she was black skinned in the past.. her nose and face have black feautures..

You can find her pictures if you use Google.. try image search.. type in monobenzone..

Her skin looks better than michael jackson's one..

Do you have a link to the picture so I can see?

Latoya used to have pics posted on a forum called monobenzoners proboards but I don't think that forum exists anymore.. for the most part most people are private and secretive about their skin practices. I'm quite sure that there are some people out there other than latoya and sam that have fully depigmented using monobenzone.

Latoya said she used to be the color of pam who played on the TV show 'martin'

I can't say that you can look at her and tell she was dark skin because there are a lot of black people out there that are pale by nature and have strong african features doesn't nessarialy mean that they were dark at first.. that's like saying all black people are dark skin which is utter nonsense.

Both latoya and sam complexions are beautiful (to me) and it took some effort to get there especially on latoya end, coming from one extreme to the next

yeah so true lovie1..

a friend of mine is from jamaica.. she has green eyes and light skin!. that's possible =)

but there were also rumors on the internet... that latoya was albino and such..

I heard that too. But she herself posted on the brighter skin Yahoo group forum that she was that dark. The abino thing came from the fact that she was white skin with african features. And she does look abino. She doesn't look like a white woman.:p

And I joined depig dist before but my membership was cancelled due to insufficient post:p :p but I already know the secreat so I really don't need them. At the point in time I was moving so I could'nt devote myself to the forum. Plus I no longer have the desire to be part of that group. But a good group for starters:)

Monobenzone attention. How long have you been using mono? And what was your complexion to begin with? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm using mono 3 month now.. but I don't apply every single day.. sometimes I'm super busy and don't even have any time off..

But I always do apply when I come back home.. and in the morning.. so at the moment its 2 times a day..

My complexion is the same as yours... maybe a half shade darker.. the weird thing is that my upper part of the body is nearly white/yellowish.. but that's not cause of mono.. its normal..

I do not suffer from vit or something lol..

But I easily get a tan.. if I go swimming! So.. my face, feets, lower body are the same color as yours in the pic.

You can ask me everything..

What is your ethnicity?

Mother german, father american indian

Hey nice mix:) . I wish you all the luck in your skin goal quest

Thank you.. you too!

I see a few people that used to post here are not here anymore. I wonder what happen to them? Some of them are very impatient too. Those kind of people I really don't like to deal with. Getting lighter takes time a patience and if a person doesn't have that they can forget about using mono.

Some think if their skin were lighter all their troubles will disappear . NOT TRUE> do it because it's what you want to do. I do it because I like flawless skin more so than the lightening aspect of it to be honest.

I'm also wondering where these guys have gone though. Maybe they stopped their mono journey for some reasons. I have to say that I had bad experiences with mono in the beginning. I recognized some blurry blotches. But they faded away. I did not apply mono on specific parts.

I changed my mono recipe after I saw these ugly blurry spots. Im glad that I did. My skin seems to lighten evenly now.

So its really important to mix mono the right way.

Applying mono can make your clothes dirty. I hate that so much. There are always some tracks of my mono cream here and there..

Hi everyone
I heard in an article that it is not recommended to apply monobenzone cream to eyelids as it could be dangerous to your eyes. Well then how do you get an even complexion on your face?

Hi Lovie1 can you please send me your before and after pics

Surrounded areas will also be affected. That's why you don't need to apply mono to eyelids.

Well it is a rather expensive regimine .and some can't afford it. And depending on what results that one is seeking yeah, it can be costly.

Hi Monobenzone_attention
What skin tone do you have originally, and how do you make your cream now

Thanks

My skin tone is something between olive and light brown..

What was your before colour and what's your ethnic background

I sent you an add request

German/american indian my ethnic background..

I know.. I read your personal message

German/American Indian? How could I guess

Can you say some celebrity matching your colour

Can you come online on MSN

I am online..

If I start to use monobenzone, would I see the results clearly and then know when to stop using it, because I'm worried of getting too pale and that's definitely not what I want. Basically does the lightening effect stop straight after using the cream or will I keep getting lighter, as I know monobenzone works deep in to bodies system, also should I just use it on my arms, legs, and torso and not my face? Any suggestions? How long will it take to see good results if I do it this way?

I found a picture of someone who used monobenzone

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/1534/santimelinexf1uu9.jpg

But the person used it because he suffered from vitiligo.. found it at vitiligo support..

Look what 28 days of applying mono made to his skin.. amazing

Amazing all right but the complexion does not look natural. It looks like michael jackson's, fake. I don't know about this mono...

I advise you to use something a little weaker than monobenzone. Perhaps arbutin? If you are not happy with the results, use monobenzone as a last resort.

amazing alright but the complexion does not look natural. it looks like michael jackson's, fake. I dont know about this mono...


Looks so natural to me


http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/1534/santimelinexf1uu9.jpg


Its not fake... this pic is true

Does anyone know a reliable source that I can purchase my mono from? Preferably powder if that works out cheaper?
The above results look preety good to me, and that is a dramatic change in only 82 days.

I know is real picture, I am saying his complexion does not look natural. It looks like albino or like MJ.

His complexion does too look a natural hispanic tone

It takes months to get lighter

Mono attention THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO

MUCH FOR THESE GREAT PICS !

The 2nd pic has a lot of light

But it looks very natural

Anyone no any good sources of where to buy mono?
Thanks

Please PM Vahid or Muna as they are currently using monobenzone.

Was he just tanned in the first picture? Look at the very top of his chest in the first picture where the v in his shirt ends. His chest is the same color as the after picture?? So did he just get rid of a tan?

no.. The white blotches were vitiligo.. you can see it on the v.. under his neck.. thats vitiligo.. he had brown skin.. and he depigged his brown skin color

The lighter parts around his mouth were vitiligo as well..

I used monobenzone for about 1yr. And my skin is so disfigured that even dermatologist can't help me. And I was refreered to a plastic surgeon. All the money that I spent on that stuff. Now all the money that I have to spend on surgery and that's not garunteed.

I'm so hurt and I just can't get over it. Summers coming and my face, arms,legs, cheast, is ed up. I'm so ashamed. My skin is raw pink, and very dark spots allover I used to be pretty. I used to be pretty.

Gloomy I feel so sorry for you, am really hurt by your condition. I really don't understand why it turned out so bad in your case. May I ask what amount of mono you used and did you mixed it well and why can't you depigment your whle body taking some 30-40% mono, at least you will get rid of blotches

Hey gloomy I feel so sorry for you..

Please tell us more about your story

Mono_atten am really scarred now, hey where did you found those pics?

Hey I am online now, are you online on MSN? And did you added me, come online

I used powder monobenzone from different vendors such as, china, india, monobenzone.com, 7unite, so I used 20% monobenzone that's it I mixed it in my lotion like everybody else did and by me not knowing what to expect I thought that what was happening to my skin was suppose to happen. I mean,I did'nt get white spots I'm raw pink and dark splotchy,

Have you ever seen a burn victim? Well that's what I look like. A ing burn victim. I'm so hurt. All the money and time I invested in that stuff. Only toobe ed up in the process.

So I guess the people that said the monobenzone will disfigure you were right. As I thought people were saying that to scare people off from using it. Wished I would have never used it, I'm so depressed.

I just don't want to talk about it anymoore I just thought I would let you all know what had happen to me so that it won't happen to you.

Well gloomy I think 20% are for vitiligo persons, for us its less then 3%, you must have used arbutin first I guess

Am still hurt with your conditon

Mono_atten, lovie, vahid are the best people to comment on your issue

Its really social of you for warning other people outside. I know how you feel. My skin is okay but I had two plastic surgeries (not on my skin). Saved all my money to get them. I totally regret it. They messed it up. You also have to pay attention which surgeon you're going to choose. They can worsen it. Plastic surgery is expensive. You're not alone. I'm with you.

Which monobenzone did you use? Premade one or made by yourself.

What was your actual skin color? Light brown, medium brown, dark brown? Light caramel.. tell us please

And 20% or more mono is benoquin and all knows what is benoquin...

I just don't want to talk about it anymoore i just thought i would let you all know what had happen to me so that it won't happen to you.

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you.
I also think you are right. Monobenzone at 20% is a bit too high! Lightening skin should be gradual. If anyone desperately wants to use mono then start at a weaker strength.

This is for Vahid and all you other vain people out there thinking about using Benoquin, even if you do not need it.

I have used this drug from the minute it became available and it has been the right choice for me.

BUT and a very big but is that this should not be used by people who do not need it. I started having Vitiligo at 11. It may have stayed as a little white patch on my eyelids and may be I would have some white "moles" here and there if it was left alone. However, my parents were very diligent in trying to get the best trestments for me which meant using any god forbidden junk, from the most advanced pills recommended by the doctors to applying nathropathic creams no short of witchcraft.
One particular treatment required me to take some (now illegal and off the market) pills which would sensitize me to the ultra viloet rays of the sun and then I had to spend up to an hour under the sun or under special tanning lapms during the winter. One day I fell sleep and spent 15 minutes extra under the sun: I developed third degree burns on my arms and most of my face. When the burns cleared I never got the colour back. Any trauma to the skin rubs it of its colour and the patches will then spread.

By the time Benoquin was developed I had milky patches on over 70% of my body. I was 19. The use of benoquin helped me get my face back, not having to use heavy creams or cringe every time I saw a picture of myself.

BUT the use of Benoquin is not for every one: specailly for people who have normal skin and want to lighten it. First of all why lighten your skin, it does not change who you are. You can not de-ethnicize yourself, like Vahid. You will be Vahid, white or brown or black or red. If you do not like your self with this colour, you will not like yourself with white face as well. Furthermore, doesn't this feed into the stereotype of the "White" race being the dominant race, being the measure of beauty?

Have you guys considered the downside?

I use the highest SPF sunscreen and still burn. I love the sun and swimming, I go to the tropics twice a year and I am the only one by the pool who will be wearing a large hat, sunproof shirt over my bathing suit and towels draped over my legs if I have to sit by the pool more than 5 minutes. And you know what I can still burn: in stupid place like the back of your knee when it hurts like hell to even sit bending your leg. How about having to use sunscreen year-round? I can burn in the cloudy weather worse than in the sun! Attractive huh???

I was in Alaska in Sep 07. On a rare sunny day, I was swimming in the cruise ship's covered pool when they opened the top. I did not even feel the sun on my body but the next day I developed fine freckle like pigmentation all over my hands and arms, on my chest and one large one under one eye. I live in Canada and in the past few years you could get Benoquin without prescription. My dermatologist told me to use Benoquin again. I used up a half tube I had left but when I tried to buy new ones, I was told it was discontinued, Possibly due to mis-use by "skin-lighteners". My doctor has prescribed Lustra-AF. This is the correct cream to use if you are trying to lighten your skin a little and get rid of some spots. I still have not been able to get rid of my "Freckles".

Also be aware that any burnt part of skin that develops the pigment again is usually darker than your normal skin and is very resistant to lightening again, even with Benoquin.

Also use of beoquin may mean that you may get patches of white hair in the middle of your eye brow, lashes, hair, or even body hair for men. How would you like to have white chest and pubic hair to match that fair skin??? Not very sexy.

Most important of all the risk of skin cancer is quite serious. Understand this: YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION IN YOUR SKIN. Fair people have colour and melatonin, just less of it. Albinos and people with vitiligo have none.

Why would you want to reproduce a disease is beyond me.

Do not do this if you do not have to. I love this drug. It was my life saver. But I would gladly do anything to reverse the clock and to get my natural colour back. Sadly I do not even know what it is not to have Vitiligo. I have had it for 28 years and my non-colour complexion is a part of who I am. It is a part of the story of my life. It does not have to be a part of yours. It does not have to define who you are.

Like yourself as you are. If you do not like your self in the skin you are in, how can you like yourself in any other colour? After all it IS only skin deep. Self reliance is the most attractive trait. It trumps every physical characteristic. Try to get some of that and nothing else will matter.


Hi, I was reading you message, it seemsto be true but I really want to lighten my skin correctly. Do you have any advice. Tell me more about Lustra AF. Is it strong
Look forward to talking

Never used anthing other than monobenzone in lotion and that's it.for 1yr. I just know that I'm through with monobenzone. Sorry I every heard of it.my co-workers look at me funny. Asking everybody else except me about what happen to her skin? And just get stared at all the time that's hard for me. Honestly I can't deal with it.

Gloomy there is always a new beginning. I don't know whaht was your previous colour

If you were asian, then I can thoroughly understand your condition, I suggest leave that place and start altogether from a new place, new people, new job

Mono_atten : sorry to ask you again but can you say exactly what percentages mono you and lovie used and what's vahid is using now

You know guys, I had 1 bollywood movie offer, not lead but a side role, by hearing gloomy, I think I should now stay where I am and concentrate on my work rather than skin whitening

All add me on Yahoo messenger : [email protected] Its more comfortable 2 talk there. Thanks

What's a good percentage of mono to start using, and what sort of results can be expected/how long will it take to acieve them?

Whats a good percentage of mono to start off using, and what sort of results can be expected/how long will it take to acieve them?

Before you think about using monobenzone, ask yourself how many shades lighter do you want to go? Do you want to be white? Will it suit you? And if monobenzone doesn't give you the desired result and ends up as a disaster, would you be able to cope with the irreversible result? Do you want to use it knowing that there is a risk that things might not turn out the way you wanted it to?

If you want to go a few shades lighter then use products containing kojic acid, arbutin, licorice, mulberry and so on.

If you want to go white then fair enough, use monobenzone. Use a low strength, lets say start at 3-5%? The results should be gradual with it. Anything as high as 15-20 could give faster results but then there is a high risk it might give you white streaks/spots or a more unpleasant result. So just be patient with the low strength and see how it goes.

Good luck.

I think Punkchic has given really good advice here, the idea of using monobenzone sounds crazy to most because of its high risk factors , but if you are really stubborn and do want to use it then always start with a low % of mono as the higher % you take the more likely you could ruin your skin. You've probably heard that 20% of mono is right to lighten the skin in a few months , but this is only advice for people with Vitiligo, as they need quick results to match the unpigmented areas of their body. There is no advice for the non-vitiligo consumer, because most dermatologists will refuse to help. Which leaves random people you don't know who are willing to take the chance and risk and then give their experiences of it, but remember the effect of monobenzone is different with everyone.

Monobenzone was discovered in the 1930's by workers who were wearing gloves that contained monobenzone, after some time they satrted noticing lost pigment in their hands. Then it was used from the 1940's to 1950's to treat hyperpigmentation and was generally successful, but later they discovered that with some patients certain areas that were not treated were losing pigmentation, which lead to the discovery that applying it to one part (face) would work into the system and lighten maybe your left arm , or chest, and this kind of risk in the medical world is considered exremely harmful. I have access to medical Journals as I work in a university and I have read quite a lot now on it and learnt a few new things. Again it all comes down to whether you are willing to take the risk

o now that makes sense for the price

if i do try mono it will be this one because your color looks so natural

how long did it take for you to see results ?

are you still using mono ?
Hi, I'm asking for your help with mono, I believe I came across the same website for
Mono costing 1500 but I'm not sure
I have qustions for you just like you had for Lovei. Are you willing to help me.
How is mono coming along for you. And how did you get a sample before spending 1500
Do you have any pictures
Look forward to talking

1500 USD? That's LAME.. I would never pay 1500USD for 1kg.. I am shocked

never used anthing other than monobenzone in lotion and that's it.for 1yr. i just know that i'm thru with monobenzone. sorry i every heard of it.my co-workers look at me funny. asking everybody else except me about what happen to her skin? and just get stared at all the time that's hard for me. honestly i can't deal with it.

Well first of all.. That is a possibility that MAYBE given your body and how it works etc one may receive a bad reaction to mono, which I would say are in rare cases.

My skin wasn't that dark to begin with, and I don't always apply it. Sometimes I can't be bothered. Which may be one of the reasons my mono is completely even.. but then again I think it's just not that bad at all.

I think..

MONO WORKS!

Vahid.

Also hey lovie1 I just received my order of glutathione pills, I got Dr James, and Kirkland Vit C, and Kojic Soap. Kojic soap is beautiful.. smells like oranges and is so soapy and luxurious. I bought my products for a really good price from SIMPLY TRADING (http://www.simply-trading.blogspot.com/) . They were checked by customs which took a little while but eventually I got them and Im very happy. Shoud help increase my health and beauty and make the whitenning process quicker!!

ALL HAIL MONO!! Hahaha.

Vahid.

Vahid I'm not sure if gloomy is really fake , because her symptoms sound very real, if it was that safe then lots of people would be using this for skin whitening, but it isn't , it has many dangers. Also some people have been known to have even whitening for up to 2 years, then all of a sudden the pigment start to come back , and much faster causing hyperpigmentation.

All right mg you're right.. I don't want to throw accusations so I edited it out of my post.

x Vahid.

Non caucasian skin is very sensitive especially if it's very dark , all non caucations are not good candidate for a lot of skin treatments like laser, you have to be extra careful with it, if you irritate the melanan aggressively it will react by darkening and other undesirable conditons, you have to go very gentle with it.
If you make melanan suddenly mad it will make you more madder, the more darker you are the more gently you have to go on it

My intention was to never try to scare anyone or rain on their parade . I just wanted to share what I'm going through this very moment. So at least if you see some of the signs that I have you can have a chance to stop while it's still early. (that is IF you see the same signs) What I have going onwith me right now I would'nt wish on my worst enemy.

I'm not here to tell anyone what not to use. And for the person that ask me about depigmenting all the way I Can't. I mean it. Hell I don't know like I'm stuck. All I know is I won't ever use it again. And hopefully the plasic sugeon in New York can help me (once I get the money together),

I used to be pretty. Summers coming and I'm in a bad shape. So now I go to figure out something.

What kind of surgery is that?
Again, how disfigured? If you have loss of Melanin(patches) how the doctors are going to restore that?
What is the percentage?and how did you use it?

I heard about this one person, who didn't have vitiligo and was using 50% monobenzone twice everyday, for 1 year, then started reacting in bad ways , by getting huge white marks all over face and body, now there's nothing he can do. Well I think this is crazy, and there are a lot of people who are not that sensible and use this stuff without really knowing the dangers. You should try to read as much as you can on it, and then go with an extremely low % , it's the logical thing to do.

Gloomy, can you you elaborate more about how disfigured you are?

I used 20% as I said before (on my previous post) and The doctor and I talked of skin grafts. Which will be time consuming. As well as a possible rejection of the grafted skin in a foreign spot. Again it is costly.

If you go and read my post title (monobenzone has messd my skin up you will see what I said) I have raw pink and very dark patches allover my face, arms, neck, legs , cheast.) that's how extensive it is.

Sorry, did not follow your posts, why don't you depig all the way? It is cheaper.
What is your original skin color? Have you used the cream or the powder?

For any one this page might help

I think Punkchic has given really good advice here, the idea of using monobenzone sounds crazy to most because of its high risk factors , but if you are really stubborn and do want to use it then always start with a low % of mono as the higher % you take the more likely you could ruin your skin. You've probably heard that 20% of mono is right to lighten the skin in a few months , but this is only advice for people with Vitiligo, as they need quick results to match the unpigmented areas of their body. there is no advice for the non-vitiligo consumer, becuase most dermatologists will refuse to help. which leaves random people you dont know who are willing to take the chance and risk and then give their experiences of it, but remember the effect of monobenzone is different with everyone.

Monobenzone was discovered in the 1930's by workers who were wearing gloves that contained monobenzone, after some time they satrted noticing lost pigment in their hands. Then it was used from the 1940's to 1950's to treat hyperpigmentation and was generally successfull, but later they discovered that with some patients certain areas that were not treated were loosing pigmentation, which lead to the discovery that applying it to one part (face) would work into the system and lighten maybe your left arm , or chest, and this kind of risk in the medical world is considered exremely harmful. I have access to medical Journals as I work in a university and i have read quite a lot now on it and learnt a few new things. again it all comes down to whether you are willing to take the risk

Thanks for the history of monobenzone. :)
Yes exactly. That is why I do not advise people to use monobenzone as I'm sure if they got bad results they would not be able to cope with it.
Plus there is a risk.
But if someone is desperate to use monobenzone then yeah perhaps start at a low percentage. :)

My dark neck faded out so beautifully.. I had a really dark neck.. now its gone.. I'm happy..

Muna Im going to take our dicussion here so it helpful to other members. You were right about Isoprpyl, it is not very good or effective to be mixed with Mono. But you can't buy Ethanol here. I called up a phramacist and he instructed that instead I can use Methylated Spirits (which you can buy very cheeply in supermarkets). I have discovered that disolving mono brings allot more potency and effectiveness. And I shall use it on my next batch.

Thank you for your help Muna, if it wasn't for you, I would have used the harmful Isoprpyl to mix my next batch.

Yes, Isoprpyl is not for preparations. Methanol is also called methyl alcohol.
There're other alcohol for dissolving like dichloromethane or chloroform or ether etc.
You can these people where to get it What is methanol used for? - Drugs - DoctorNDTV (http://www.doctorndtv.com/FAQ/detailfaq.asp?id=5297)
Or you can Google it, there a lot of Chinese web sites are selling it
You might mix it with hand sanitizer, it has ethanol.
Vahid, you are a very cute boy,

I use spirit 90% in my mono cream.. bought it from the pharmacy.. its actually to disinfect wounds

Gloomy , You said that you used mono for 1 year, can you please tell me did you apply it 1 times or to a day, to face, body or both , please describe in detail the pattern of application.

Thanks

What do you guys think 3% monobenzone will do?

Hi, I'm Marie and I'm a new here. I've been using lighteners creams for over 20 yrs. I'm African American with very dark skin. I never had a problem with my complexion until I was 8 yrs old at my family gathering. I can still remember my cousins saying " look at Marie how ugly she is" "She is so black! They loved my younger sister who was a few shades lighter than me. I felt so awful about my skin color but at that age what can you do about it... My father use to tell me I was a very back baby. What a thing to say to a child in a way to make you feel bad about yourself.

Going to elementary school I didn't have any friends. HIgh school I had 3 girl friends I would hang out with because we had the same complexion.

At age 17 I had a boyfriend and he was light skinned. I got pregnant and had his child. I be;believed he did loved me but he never married me. We broke up when our baby was only 2. I got a job at a nursing home and there is where I met yemi a Nigerian women with light skin. She befriended me and she would come to my house. She noticed I had bad acne problem and dark spots on my face from the acne. She said I know what you can do about the dar spots and made a cream solution for me. Within a Month my dark spots were gone and My face became 5 shades lighter. I asked her to make a big container for me so I can use it on my whole body. She then told me she use the sane thing and that her skin color wasn't really her true shade of color. I was shocked when she showed photos of what she really look like. She was darker than my original color. That's how I got started with very strong lightener creams from Nigeria and until this day I can't stop using them. The only problem is... They are not working for me anymore. I'm not back to my original skin color and hiding from the world. I've been home on sick leave from work for a month now. I'm afraid once they see me they will be shock as to how dark I am. I don't know what to do. I feel desperate about my my own life right about now
I was searching and searching on web and found this webpage. I'm feeling a little hopeful about lightening my skin permenate after reading about everyone's experiences with mono cream. Does it really work? Is it permanent?

HELP!

well said:) everybody skin and the experience that one might go thru is diffrent from one person to the next.

hey guys do you remember the brighter skin forum it was this african american girl on there ( named latoya) that used monobenzone she used it for over 3yrs before she completely depigmented . granted that that was not her original goal..

also the pakastain guy on there( named sam) used mono for a little over 2yrs and he was depigmented. and he did'nt look like micheal jackson:p :p :p so it varies from person to person.

the experince that are testified here are only individual of that person using it.


Yes i remember that forum the brighter skin forum... i was a member of that one too! Rather i signed up like this one.. wow that was a while ago...

MUNA!!

I mixed my monobenzone with methlyated spirits and a BIG difference.. the cream is now smooth, it never was before, and I'm hopeing it will work better too. Damn I wasted my last two batches, oh well.. it's allot better now.. and it even feels less stingy on my sensitive parts. The ethanol in meth (its 95% ethanol) completely or almost completely dissolved it. Im so happy now! Damn I just can't wait to see the effects of it. :)

Hey.. yes monobenzone works! 100% it does.. but it takes time..

Plus your skin will be more sensetive to sun.. . so you have to use sunscreen when you go out..


I think this really sucks.. I love how mono lightened my skin so far.. it is gradual.. I am pleased with the result..

I told my friends about my lightening issue.. they were so shocked.. remember what it can does to your skin.. it removes melanin.. melanin is so important for us.. to protect us from the sun..

So there are always side effects.. I in love to go out with friends.. I enjoy swimming.. I have NO idea if I will be able to do that stuff again.. you will never get a tan anymore.. you become red instead of a tan..

Is that what we all want? I don't think so.. there is so much to see and explore in life..

I don't want to completely remove melanin from my skin.. this will be hard.. I want a lighter skin.. so if you use a low % of mono.. you probably become few shades lighter.. but if you don`t pay attention.. you will get blotches.. and then you have to go the EXTREME WAY..



I can see that my ellbows are getting lighter each day..


I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE AFTER I LIGHTENED MY WHOLE BODY..

Thank you - Monobenzone_attention for your response.

I don't know where to begin to start looking for the real mono cream. I've been to 2 dermatologist in the past and both refused to perscribe mono for me. They tell me it's only for people with vitiligo. I'm nnot a chemist so, I really don't want to experience with mixing raw materials. I might blow up my nieghborhood. I want to use a strong solution cream because I've been using hydroquinone for over 20 years to lighten my skin.

Any suggestions out there?

Thanks in advance.

Marie

How about this?

Or this? If you are willing to look like this all in the name of white skin . Then by all means go ahead.

You need to think very carefully about using monobenzone.
Seriously, do you want to remain sensitive to the sun for the rest of your life?? It depigments the skin meaning you will have NO MELANIN! And we have melanin to protect us from the sun. Sunscreen will not help much. You will have to avoid the sun as often as you can!

I live in Massachusetts, you?

Oh.. I heard that some had problems to receive her mono : (

She lives in the states.. she was not able to get it.. they could not give it to her.. it was stuck at the customs office or something.. sh ordered mono powder..

But you want the premade cream, right? You need a prescription for that.. otherwise it will be pretty hard for you to get what you want..

Monobenzone - Kosmix Topic Page - Medical Information for Monobenzone (http://www.kosmix.com/Health/Monobenzone/-od-definition_adam_2%25252F2486-s)

This is what happens from using monobenzone. Chemically induced vitiligo

How does one go about asking your dermatologist for monobenzoone cream? I've asked 2 different derm and they said no no no. Do you think any doctor will just right me up a prescription? I do have a primary care Doctor?

MUNA!!!

Hi Vahid, you said that you've been using the mono cream on just the body ( do you apply it everywhere like neck , arms, legs, chest ,back, feet) and have you noticed lightening on your face, has it been even?

Gloomy, do you look like any of these pix? These people used very high percentage because they were impatient.
mgfusion, I use it every where
Vahid, me too, I wasted almost half of my mono,

Just wanted to mention that some body lotions already contain alcohol to dissolve mono..

Cheers

I bought a body lotion that contains benzyl alcohol as well

It's the best cream EVER.. my cream is so powerful

Hi Vahid, you said that you've been using the mono cream on just the body ( do you apply it everywhere like neck , arms, legs, chest ,back, feet) and have you noticed lightening on your face, has it been even?

Yes its even and yes my face lightens as well

There seems to be some people on here who don't us to use Monobenozone at all...

Hi all , :)

I am Spranza from Italy … and I have a caramel color skin … And I want to lighten it a little bit by using something permanent;) .. So while I was doing some research about benoquin I found your posts .. so I register only to asking some questions and share some information with you guys here … and this is the first post for me here ..:p

Any way .. I was wodrening about lots of things since I read all the posts before … and I concluded something which I can’t understand !!
Which is…

Is it possible to choose the whiteness degree that I seek!.. I mean from what I understood from all your posts that whenever I found it cool the way it is and I don’t want it to be lighter than what it really is, I stop using mono!... is this possible !?

Well…

The possibility of this means.. that it is also possible if I stopped it , I might have my regular color back again … which is impossible if I am a vitiligo patient ..
I just can’t make sense of the whole thing! Specially when I heard that mono and Benoquin are medicines to kill the melanin cells which are the cells that are responsible of producing color to our skins … so even if you stopped to a certain degree of lightening your skin because you like it that light but not lighter .. this drug will continue its effect to kill the cells and finally you will become as white as a Vitiligo person but not to a certain level of whiteness that you desired or you stopped your medication treatment hoping that it will remain at the same level.

I guess it will continue to whiten your skin till you become completely white!

Please if I am wrong ….CORRECT me !Because that’s what I read and I collected data about :(

Well if you get too white just use makeup or they have pills that make vitiligo patients a little darker (a more natural olive-ish look). Dang I forgot the name of 'em too. I'll get back to you on that...

Hi,all.
Monobenzone and benoquin are the same. If you read the label off benoquin, monobezone is in (). Is there a mono shortage in the US? I know that Canada suppliers all say discontinued but I haven't been able to get my prescription filled at the local pharmacy either. What gives? N
