I tried it for like a month
First 2 weeks 5 %
Last 2 weeks 10%
I see changes.. the skin peels and everything..
But its just hard to live like that... to feel the burning everyday to suffer from the dryness and the wrinkles every day ///
You can't move walk stright nothing... you feel like a monster... and for what..
Anyway I decided to make jar of 50% mono.. and to apply it only one day in a week..
That's it... the rest I'll leave to god...
Peace.

If I was you I would stop using that particular "mono" all together. What about acutal mono prescribed from a doctor, I doubt you would have the level of burning .net products cause. Their products are stearic acid and say right on the jars.

Mono is very slow process, it takes months even years, once a week will take forever, may be you will be light in the next life! Lol

o.k let me explain why and how I got to this conclusion
I used 5 % and after only 5 days my skin became "dead" dry and dark and it started to peel
And when I put mono on it my skin didn't really absorb it and it felt like I'm wasting the mono for nothing... so I stopped
And for 2 weeks now my skin is still peeling...
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It seems right to wait till I'll get clear skin and then to put mono 20%
And then wait again for it to peel (1 week)..

Hi sara_uk I'm also from the uk and I'm new on this forum I'm interested in using mono but I'm scared of the side effects it would have on my dark skin. I've been reading all the threads since April and I'm wondering is it possible for over sea supplier of monobenzone to be shipped to london. Where in the uk do you live and did you have any problems getting mono from over sea. I know a lot of people on here are scared to be labeled as sellers so they don't really say their source I don't blame them, but I'm soooo deperate to know where you purchased yours from and how is it going so far with the whole mono experience. I don't know how this forum stuff workes but you culd give me a privite message I would have done the same but I don't know how.

Hi original spa, I live in London and my order of mono was delivered fine from overseas, the box was labeled monobenzone. I researched mine through the net, looked for real pharmaceutical manufacturer and wrote to them, I can not remember how many I sent but I did tell them that I can test the chemical structure of the product as I work in a chemistry lab which I do, one replied and they sent me the stuff in less than a week, I tested and it was pure mono.
Before you decide buying it, research the idea and make sure that what you want, how dark are you? As the patches will be less comparable with light person.
There are a lot of issues to consider, some take longer than others, some get more patchy than others, some got sensitive skin and even with small % their skin will refuse to accept it.

Mono is not lightning product, it will make you white, some become stark white and others just white, you can not stop after your reach desired shade, as mono will continue working on the other cells.

I get your point but if you keep stopping then the body will work out a system to fight that depig process, our system is very cleaver tool, and that will make it harder for you later, best thing is to make your cream more oily so it get absorbed well in the skin. May be do peel as well, I use glycolic acid peel 12% lotion, and that is helping with peeling the dead skin.

Thank you sara_uk, I must be doing the right thing then because I'm using the same reserch method as you and I'm only sticking to pharmaceutical manufacturer in china...
At first I just wanted to lighten my back its really dark and a big contrast to the rest of me. Well my family since I was young always put me down for it like it's a crime to be dark. Its made me very self conscious over the years so I did reserch from April, I know how dangerious mono is and I know I don't get to choose to ligten my back but overal lightening, I think it's that or nothing. But I don't want to start until I'm in my 20s because by then I'll have a secure job erning enough so that my use of mono will not be distrubed or halted. But again I've hurd the horror stories with this drug and I'v decided their very useful because there must have been something they are doing very wrong like not diluting or using the right mixture or not even buying the real stuff. There's not even a lot of info on the web for this stuff just people who want to sell and forums...

Hi original spa, I was lucky that when I first started there was a girl who did a lot of research on it, and she seem to know a lot about the stuff. Anyway that girl got in the bad side of the forum's owner as most the mono forums is originated by sellers to fake mono, so she left and started her own forum, I went with her and another nice lady, we made really nice forum with a lot of information covering the mono issue BUT that forum owner think got total depig and just left the forum, no where to be seen, so no one new can register but there are quite few of us that visit that forum. It is shame that no one new can access it but it has everything about mono, the scientific section, the emotional side of it, methods of making the cream, sources and a lot of progress pictures. That why, I am here as that forum got quite now, and I would like to share my experience with others who needs it, as I know how frustrating it can be.

So have you decide when you starting mono?

Hi sara_uk, I started to use the mono a month ago with two different mixing recipes. I used 20% first for a week then I got red rushes and irritation. So, I stopped using it for a week. Then, I started again with 5% mono. Again, I got rushed and irritation after a week of use. I am ready to give up mono and see your post here. Please help me with how you mix the mono ? You can PM me if you want. Thanks a lot in advance :).

Hi there are a lot of methods, I have been changing and testing but I used this to start with from some one in the forum but I changed it slightly.

Sara’s method 1

20% Mono powder.
3% I used IMS, (Industrial Methylated Spirit) from my laboratory at work.
15% Aloe Vera Gel:
20% Ambre Solaire SPF 30 milk: I think I used this
42% Garnier (http://www.garnier.co.uk/_en/_gb/our_products/products_trade.aspx?tpcode=OUR_PRODUCTS^PRD_BODYCA RE^HYDRABLOCK_SKIN^HYDRABLOCK_SKIN_BENEFITS)Garnie r hydrolock with 5% hydro urea: very nice lotion
Then the IMS is very drying plus the amber sloaire has vit E which is no good with depig. So I changed it to

Sara’s method 1 modified.

20% Mono powder.
5% hand sanitizer: to dissolve mono powder
15% Aloe Vera Gel: This is different from pure Aloe Vera juice, which has texture nearly indistinguishable to water.
60% Garnier hydrolock: nice moisturizing lotion that combats the side effect of dryness.

Dec 1, 2008, 09:48 AM
Some one else suggested using Vaseline Moisture Locking lotion, I try this but I did not like it as much, this how the lotion will look like, it will keep your body moisturised.

This is a method that been used by a lot of people with great results, I am not sure if the lady want her name posted so I call it

Mystery lady method

20% Pure Micro Mono Powder

20% Regular lotion (use a good brand, but not necessary to go too expensive.)

20% SPF 30+ Sunblock (UVA/UVB): A Sunblock is a product with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
20% Pure Raw Shea Butter
10% Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer

10% Commercially Sold Aloe Vera gel

The only problem I found with this that the shea butter get solidified at room temperature, otherwise it was great, I will play with that method and see if I can use it again, because by far it was the best method.

Dam that forum would have been really helpful that's sooo sad that no one new can join bacause I haven't seen any pics of mono users before except for the horrar ones:(
Well this forum is helpful tooo I'm so glad your from the uk that means I can definitely get mono overseas yay. Well I'm not going to use it just yet, I'll start using mono in my 20s or after uni.. some where in the future. For now I'm just researching and learning I read something once when I started thinking about this skin lightening ( own personal reasons) and she said something like color is only skin deep. This touched me really deep.
Made me think yah mono might be the way...

Hi best of luck, there were two forum members who had that problems, I will see what they have done, one lady she is almost done, I think she was using 10% and she looks so lovely now after 9months. I remember she had a lot of issues with mono, I will see her method and post it for you.

This is awesome that you are here to help us with mono and it seems that your intentions are honest. I have been also researching monobenzone for quite sometime and have been to a lot of different forums. Some of which, the people there were just trying to promote their products and weren't very honest. In the past, I have been ordering the 99% monobenzone powder from an US company but had the hardest time getting it to dissolve without flakes. I used the mortar and pestle system in order to micronize it. So, now I just have it made into a cream by a pharmacy. I hope that you stay on this forum and continue to help.

I know how u feel.
I burned my neck a month ago. Its botchy because I exfoliated too aggressively.
With the papaya bleaching soap. Ouch.
I still burn even if I don't put anything on it.
Except vaseline. Now the mono BA mix is stinging behind my knee caps. I look burned.
I set out to give these products 4 months. I was warned about MONO. Its true! It will give u spots & blotches. The burning & itching is wearing me down. I understand how u feel SuperShallow. Ditto!

MSM 2 oz (powder)
2 oz of lotion Palmers coca butter.
2 oz hot water .
I'm still irrated from the mono burn so I don't put this on my neck. I can only tolerate the acid soap once a week. Yep I still itch & burn in the old burn areas. LOL

What is BA, MSM?
Yes mono will get you blotched but eventfully you will get there, some people’s skin is very sensitive so they need to start low, and listen to the skin, do not add drying agent like alcohol etc.

As I said trial and error here, I did try to use the pestle and mortar too but it was not good idea, plus you are not spouse to inhale the mono dust, very dangerous. Instead I used coffee grinder, after you grinded it, wait for the dust to settle before opening it, it was nice powdered mono.

Nowadays I put mono 20% once a day..
Buuuuuuuut! I don't put thick dose of my mono cream on my skin like I used to..
And now 2 weeks everything is just fine... I believe it's the right way..
You're not supposed to be hurted and dameged by this product//

I found the mixture & followed it. I have since discovered that person knows the companies owners.

So that 2 bottles of this, & 2 bottles of that is buy more buy more buy more.
I'm sure it was a kick back some where for them.
Well u live & learn right?$$$$$$$$$$

mepk5, I agreed. That's why I don't follow all instructions, I'll go and find out all items in the recipe and judge it myself. I only try the recipe with all "cleared" items. Even for only a small amout since I had been hurt with bad recipes. I am very cautious now, lower % of mono with lotion only. Will see how it goes. Slow is OK, but, not irritation and burn.

I know what you saying but the problem is people are desperate, and others abuse that. If someone is selling fine but with my experience with mono most sellers who promote their business in lightening forums are scam. The above forum is perfect example, some post their experience like it is genuine but a lot lie, I was in the old forum, and the friends of the site owener always seem to be using the product he is selling. There is a girl promoting BA now, and how she is been using it for 2yrs, I swear she was promoting mono in the old forum :confused:

I've read several times if too mnay people start buying the product from a certain seller the seller will raise the price! That's the problem I have w/ sellers. Sellers could make a lot more money if they didn't get greedy & water the product & raise the price. Look at what has happened? The good sellers r not going to get business from buying people like me because we think they r all scammers. They all disappear eventually

Super Shallow,

I completely agree with you: "and the biggest problem is that i didnt see pics of other ppl that succeed whit mono"

I am a science person, hence it is not easy for me to believe just "words" of some people without any proof... It is so frustrating that, I have not seen any one case of a non-vitiligo person depigged successfully with mono.

Yeah, there are some "famous" photos circulating around:

1) The photos of Sam: Many people had stated that he is in fact trying to scam people, at different forums. I do not know him personally and I have never used any products from him, so I don't know if this is true or not. But the photos of him circulating around: The famous "Before and After" photos are not very persuading. Because, his before picture is taken under very dark light conditions, and his "after" photos are always under bright light. Even a normal person's skin colour will look very different under different light conditions.Plus, his "before" picture might be just from a summer time where he had some "tan" and his after photos could be the ones during winter when he lost his tan. Losing his tan + taking the photos under bright light makes you lighter. I know this from my own personal experience.

2) The famous "Latoya" person. There has never been a "before" photo of her. Hence, she could be an albino person (ie. Born like that), or maybe she had a very severe vitiligo (like more than 80 % of her body areas) which makes her depig with mono very easily & successfully.

I have been reading many different skin lightening forums and in nearly each of those forums, it has been found out that some people who claim that they are getting "amazing" results from monobenzone were either scammers (like "Sheralcrow" aka "Marnishia Wilson" aka "Charles Chatman" (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/skin-lightening/confirmed-scam-artist-alert-203817.html) or the forum administrators had found out that some people had several user names at one IP address, or some people trying to promote their mono or trying to tell lies about their competitors to get more costumers themselves.

So, I could not find "one" reliable before and after picture. I wish I have seen one.

On the other hand, there is the following scientific journal paper

Depigmentation therapy
Jean L. Bolognia , Kim Lapia , & Sandra Somma
Department of Dermatology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut
Volume 14 Issue 1, Pages 29 - 34, Journal of Dermatologic Therapy

There are are photos of some people, who were a vitiligo patient. And, one of them were depigged successfully, and she remained depigged for 5 years, but after 5 years she developed brown spots all over her body. Or, there was a another photo of a vitiligo patient, who had also depigged successfully but after sometime later he got "unprotected" sun exposure and there were hundreds of brown/black spots all over his body. (Sorry, I cannot put those photos here, since they are under copyright, but people who have acces to that online journal can Google for it and see for themselves)

so, I do not know... Until someone comes forward with some "Realistic" before & after photos (which are taken under similar light conditions and which are not digitally manupulated (ie. Photosopped) (in fact, it is nearlly impossbile to detect if someone had photoshopped the photos or not... so, even in this case,one can never be 100% sure))
I am not sure if a non-vitiligo person can "succesfully" (ie. Evenly... etc) depig using monobenzone or not...

Please, do not start accusations that I might be a seller of another product... etc. I am not... I frankly not.. I also wish as much as you guys that mono could in fact also
depig non-vitiligo people too... and I would be willing to try it, if some people can come up with more "convincing" results... but now, I am a bit concerned and worried... I hope there is a way for us to obtain the ligthening affect we want.. Personaly, I would love to obtain that "pale white" look... I don't know, I am confused... In the case of mono one person is saying "2 x 2 is 4", the other is arguing "No, it is 5", another one is saying "No, 2 x 2 is 100. Please buy mono from me and make me richer", some other one is saying "No, 2 x 2 is zero...Dont waste your hope/health/skin"

The truth for the case 2 x2 is, of course, 4; but for the monobenzone:I don't know who is saying the truth, who is a seller, who is just creating some fictional stories... I am sure there are some people who are very honest and saying the 100% truth, but the problem is I do not know who are those honest people... I am frustrated...

So, I really understand what you mean by ""and the biggest problem is that i didnt see pics of other ppl that succeed whit mono", Super Shallow... I feel exactly the same things...

Dave, I am glad that you are here. You seem to be the logical voice of reason. I am also a science person and need reliable facts. I have seen those pics of "Entity" on another forum. I have seen two pictures of his "after" depigmentaton, but have never seen a before pic. I personally asked him for a before picture and the only thing that he posted was a picture of some famous actor who was "supposedly" the same complexion as he was before. I became suspicious and he mysteriously disappeared. I am very weary and cautious of all of those forums and mono selling sites. You just don't know who to trust. I like that you have been doing your reseach on monobenzone. That is the ONLY way for you to be informed and make wise decisions. Yes, one huge problem that doctors were having with vitiligo patients, was the fact that monobenzone is so unstable. You could be possibly depigged for years and all of a sudden little brown spots start reoccurring. Also, doctors suggest that you keep using mono a least a few times a week after you successfully depigged and that you should always stay out of the sun.

dave1212
Dec 21, 2008, 02:05 AM

Thank you very much for sharing that anecdote with us... Now, I am really wondering, if Entity or Latoya ever shared any "before" photos of themselves?

Precisely, first thing to do is to research, research, research. Devote at least 2 months to the research stage, and stay away from the fraudsters below:

Depig.com
Monobenzone.com
Monobenzone.net
Herbalin.com
All of which run by Sam.

***little updates***
My skin peeled
And I found really tiny light spots spread all over my body
1 on my face 2 on my neck and the hand and legs.. they look very weird and not fit to the rest of my skin
I hope it's sign for good..

Today I'll start to put 20 %
Now this is the real deal!
Peace

I have those spots also. I was warned. So I didn't put it on my face... used herbalinn radiance 20% didn't work after 3 months. So I use it as a hand lotion. Almost out of MONO.

Hi, I'm wondering if Sara_uk still uses this forum - she seems like a reliable source of information about the safest ways to depigment. If you're out there Sara, please respond!

Mono is very slow process, it takes months even years, once a week will take forever, may be you will be light in the next life! lol

From personal experience and experience from other users in the past, Monobenzone should not provide you with unbearable burning, itching nor wrinkles, especially at concentrations of 5-10%.

I wouldn't consider using 50% per week either; Monobenzone works best when used gradually, to give your skin and melanocytes a chance to adapt. Using 50% at a time may ruin your skin and even cause more peeling and burning, despite the fact that your Monobenzone may not be what it seems.

U should only monobenzone if you want to become completely white like snow.. it doesn't lighten it depigments your skin of ALL color... thats what michael jackson did.. he used other ones too but they are very strong chemicals! And forever you have to stay out of the sun.. not only put sun screan (michael jackson used an umbrella on sunny day and most other days) because your skin will no longer have any protection against the sun damage and that can lead to skin cancer... there is no solution after you do that... nothing to help u... so its better to find the temporary lighteners and keep at it forever thenhave to live like michael had too...

Not necessarily. Monobenzone does have the ability to completely depigment your skin, but truth be told, it also has the ability to be used gradually to promote skin lightening rather than complete depigmentation. Monobenzone is not a 'magic whitener', it merely stresses your melanocytes to major points, while at the same time decreasing melanin excretion. In this way, it slowly depigments (in otherwords, lightens) rather than instantly.

Also, note that Monobenzone does not guarantee depigmented skin, unless you were to have vitiligo in which case it is still not guaranteed. Your skin has the ability to produce more melanocytes should any be damaged from Monobenzone. It's of this very reason that using an inhibitor with it increases prolonged results.

Contact with UV rays will increase the chance for repigmentation of course, and because Monobenzone is directly absorbed, you may experience slight lightening within other portions of course skin.
