That is the question.
He finished depigging and moved on. He owns a forum but is never on there. He is a veteran when it comes to skinlightening. The only forum owner in the lightening field to have shown his pics. People have digs at him because they are jealous like Amber the big fat ugly mamba who owns the Brightskin forum.
Thank you Branco.

Hi Sam & Branco!
There's several people like gloomy123, simmy, ducky, that used monobenzone at least 1-2 years ago that have experienced disfigurement. The new people that are using/selling monobenzone probably think it's safe because they have only been using it for a short while.
If it's really monobenzone they are buying in the first place.
By the way, what happened to your message board? I miss it already.
It's weird that it was deleted the day I posted my most recent photos.
Someone is very jealous of you and us that post our results photos. I guess.

Is that your pic? You look like Michael Jackson! I don't know if that's something people would get jealous of. I am sticking with glut pills and my whitening soaps. I don't want to be pasty. :o

Basically, everyone on the forum, even the moderator, turned against Herbalinn for their crappy service. People started seeking alternatives to Benzylarbutin (just Bearberry mixed with Arbutin, IMO) which most likely upset Sam, who is a partner of Muna (the owner of Herbalinn). I suspect Herbalinn even sent out Benzylarbutin sometimes, and then Arbutin at other times, as people reported that their powders were different colours occasionally.
So, basically, depig forum got shut down because it was no longer a promoter for Herbalinn. Some people say that it got closed because there was too much negativity on there (mainly instigated by me and Vicky_D), and that people were jealous of the people who had results. This is untrue, and the people who think this are deluded fools. The fact that the forum just happened to close down as soon as people turned against Herbalinn is proof enough of this.
I'm disappointed that the forum closed down, because despite the sheer amount of racism being spread around, it was actually very handy for lightening. I preferred it to here because people here are promoting Monobenzone so much, which is DANGEROUS. However, before the forum shut down, a few members provided alternative means for lightening, which was cheaper than Benzylarbutin or Mono, and was entirely home-made. For this, I am thankful, and so no longer need the ridiculous depig forum.

Ackja,
Willing to share what you found out..

One of the members (allu, I think) mentioned the skinactives website as a supplier of Bearberry and Arbutin. I browsed the site a bit, and found that they have several skin lightening chemicals. They're quite cheap, but only come in small quantities. Buying a group of these and then mixing them into one multi-lightening cream would yield better results than using a single chemical such as mono or BA, and since it's home-made you wouldn't have to worry about HQ or any other dangers. I'm going to try that instead of buying from Herbalinn.
RedDiamond
Sep 12, 2008, 07:34 AM
YOu knoe what Ackja you are right. It probably it is a mixture of bearberry and arbutin. I am going to try it but first how would I mix it. I will buy the bearberry and abrutin and something else... I haven't decied yet. HOw would I go about mixing it. Do you know what % is each lightening agent. How would I know what % to mix to? Would I have to dissolve it first then mix it? Help please... lol.

Hey, I did the calculations, and figured that you'd have about enough for a 10% 4oz cream. If you had all of these:
SKIN ACTIVES ¤ Price (USD) ¤ Amount
Arbutin ¤ 12.50 ¤ 6gm -
Bearberry ¤ 7.50 ¤ 10gm -
Glutathione ¤ 12.50 ¤ 1gm -
Glucosamine ¤ 3.50 ¤ 5gm -
Lemon peel extract ¤ 9.50 ¤ 10gm -
Kojic Acid ¤ 15.50 ¤ 5gm -
Magnesium ascorbyl phophate ¤ 11.50 ¤ 10gm -
Base cream ¤ 6.50 ¤ 4 fl .oz
Jar ¤ 1.00 ¤
Total: ¤ 80.00 ¤ 47gm
Note: This is my own personal plan and calculations, so you can play around the ingredients as you want.
I got all my mixing info from the depig forum, which is unavailable now, but I saved one method onto my computer:
Ingredients
All you need is:
- A measuring cup (ml is a good size)
-50 ml benzyl (replace this with the lighteners of your choice)
-50 ml water
-50 ml alcohol (benzyl and cetyl alcohol are the optimal types, rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer work fine)
-250 ml of Base
-100 ml retin-a (if you don't want retin a in your mix, you will add 350 ml of base cream)
Steps
1. Pour the water and alcohol into a pot. Bring it to a boil. When it boils, remove it from the heat and wait for about thirty seconds (until the rapidly moving bubbles calm down)
2. Add the benzyl to the hot water-alcohol mix. Stir it thoroughly, until it has totally dissolved.
3. In a mixing bowl, add your cream and retin-a. Slowly pour in the hot water-alcohol-benzyl mix. Mix it very thoroughly, using a mixer.
4. Allow it to cool in the bowl, and then add it to a bottle, and seal it tightly.
5. Enjoy?
Miscellaneous
To make 20%, add 100ml of benzyl, and 200ml of cream.
To make 5%, add 25ml of benzyl, and 275 ml of cream.

Note: And YES, you NEED to use alcohol to dissolve the ingredients into the mixture. If you don't, you risk your mixture not absorbing the ingredients, and thus you have a useless pile of chemical mess on your hands.

Thanks for the helpful information! I really needed to know how to mix it. Ohhh, Ackja, I send you a pm so please look at it and tell me what you think/.

"Mainly instigated by me and Vicky_D"? What the hell? I haven't been on that forum in about four months since I was banned! Maybe you've seen my old posts on the forum or something..

I did hear from someone on this forum just yesterday in PM though that they have a new forum. I told him/her I'd been banned from the depig forum a while back and he said he'd report what goes on over there for me lol. And now he's saying I should try to join again since they have a new site (depig . Com)
Unless they've permanently banned my IP address and kept it in mind for the new forum, I don't know.
Ackja

Yes, the new forum is depig.proboards.com. I was also IP banned from the old forum, but it took me all but 5 minutes to register again.

Well I'm done using mon for awhile. The price has gotten way to expensive at .net, and I haven't experienced near as much lightening as I would have liked.

I must agree... I am think I need to find a another skin lighter:(. I know this is crazy but can someone tell me if ba is a good deal?
Ackja
Sep 18, 2008, 07:38 AM
Well, herbalinn currently has a desperation sale on. You can order some 20 or 30% from them for cheap, and see if it works for you.
RedDiamond
Sep 18, 2008, 11:17 AM
I am seriously thinking about it... I want some 30% but I will be hurt if it doesn't work for me, you know. I just thought for sure mono would do the trick but I guess not. If I buy some I def. will let you guys know it.
MAHARANI

Tried BA and saw absolutely no results . Your experience using it may be different and I would be interested to know if anyone else has tried it and seen anything.
absolutkaos
Sep 19, 2008, 12:52 PM
I tried BA for 3 months and lightened about a half a shade(if at all). I was using 30% and started a caramel color. To me it didn't really work for the price and all the hype.:(

Herbalinn and their pathetic bottles, you will pay astronomical prices and the 4oz bottle will last a week. GOOD LUCK

I think everyone is getting the idea about herbalinn. Maybe try if money is no big deal and you don't mind if you don't see anything for money you have spent. Otherwise try a cheaper alternative.
It is so annoying when companys make BIg claims about how effective and permanent results will be.
RedDiamond
Sep 20, 2008, 08:50 AM
Ok, I WAS thinking about buying some because of the sale but then as I was trying to like go to the check out I didn't feel good about it. SO that means that I was unsure if I wanted to spent 150 buck on something that will or might now work. Its to big of a risk and I would be trully upset it I did so... thanks you guys.

Samirch99 is a handle for Sam, the fraud who scammed people out of hundreds of dollars for selling chemical X disguised as monobenzone, do yourself a favor and avoid sites below:
depig.com
herbalinn.com
monobenzone.com
monobenzone.net (Hmm, why does it only sell skin lighteners I wander)
They are run and promoted by Sam, using various aliases plugging his "mono" on forums like this.

There are indeed genuine monobenzone sources, however, Sam is definitely not one of them.
