Hi guys... Just made my first batch of 5 oz mono here is what I mixed.. I'm guessing this must be around 15 % strength.. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM??
- 1/2 tablespoon monobenzone powder ( pale white ) 100 per cent
- approx. 2 oz of hand sanitizer.. mixed in small amount of very hot water...
- then mixed the two and added about 10 gms of retin a .5 per cent
Then added JERGENS lotion about 4 ounces of it... and mixed properly...
Applied it once last night and once today morning..
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF I NEED ANY DIFFERENT MIX OR SOMETHING TO ADD OR DELETE FROM THIS ?
HOW MUCH IS THIS STRENGTH ANY IDEA HELP... IM GUESSING ITS ABOUT 15 PER CENT ?

Hi Needtolighten, I use the following recipe to make a 20% lotion. I then mix the lotion with my own body lotion to get a 5% lotion because 20% irritates my skin. The progress is slow on 5% but it's woking for me. Hope it helps.
- 20% mono powder
- 20% pure raw shea butter (melt the shea butter, do not microwave it)
- 10% hand sanitizer
- 20% plain lotion 20% (e.g. vaseline)
- 10% pure aloe vera gel
- 20% spf 30+ sunblock (use hight spf for Summer)

Thanks MCMG...
I will try that next.. howefver can you tell me what must my percentage of the current made batch be like??
Any idea??
Because at the moment I don't wish to waste this mix... andi ts not bothering my skin right now.. no burning... darkening on my bod yes . Not on my face yet
Wahts the approx percentage would you have an idea.. I assume its something a little less than 20 per cent ?

Be careful
Put 2 small tablespoons mono in the 5 0z jar
Put 2 tablespoons hot hot water.. mix it! Mix it really hard!
And fill the rest of the jar with lotion..
And you got the cream... its like 17-20%
NOW LISTEN!
BEFORE YOU APPLY THIS CREAM.. PUT SOME OLIVE OIL ON YOU OR ALMOND GLOW!
AND THEN APLLY THE MONO CREAM!! ITS VERY Important!

needtolighten, I think it is less than 10% since 1/2 tablespoon mono in a 4 oz lotion is 10%. Yours is 5 oz.

You know what!
Don't use it at all!!
Its just dangerous...
I don't understand how those people sell this pruduct and don't care about what will happened to the person...
Don't USE IT!!

Feb 26, 2009, 06:17 PM
Yeah mcgm... mine is a 5 oz cream base.. inclusive of body lotion, retin a about 10 grams and approx.. 2 oz hand sanitizer
Ok so basically I'm using 10 per cent now or lesser actually you saying rite ?/
Hmm I'm going up to about 12 per cent then..
Yeah super I agree with you... but I can't help myself I got to try this and I'm going to stop it before you know it... I'm scainning my body everyday for patches... and if I get patchy then I'm not using it again...

Feb 26, 2009, 06:20 PM
And yeah I will also keep you guys posted on my mono exp...
And no I wotn call it MONVOYAGe.. since the MONVOYAGES are all disasters.. lolz
mcgm802820
Feb 27, 2009, 09:13 AM
needtolighten, mono is dangerous, but if you watch your skin and start SLOW... you'll be OK. I started with a 20% and got irritate within 2 weeks. I reduced to 10%, still irritated in the third week. I then reduced to 5%, then 2.5%. After a month of 2.5%, I increaded to 5% and so far so good. 5% starts to give me result after 3 weeks. Make sure your skin is NOT dry and looked healthy. Stop the mono lotion for a day or two, if your skin is not feel normal. Never use higher than 20%. Stop using it when you skin starts to look bad. I am in my second month of 5% and so far so good. Again, start SLOW and "listen" to your skin. After all it's your skin, LOL.

Hey that's cool mcmg... wel I don't know today my skins not feeling dry at all..
I'm having a tablet of vitamin c everyday and before I apply the cream I'm rubbing some
Lemon into my skin reallly nice and then I apply the mono cream.. up to now not much to report of.. so lets see.. ill keep you posted..
By the way mcmg have you lightened over time?? Using these strengths of monobezone?
Is your skin visibly lighter than before ?
Let me know...
mcgm802820
Mar 2, 2009, 08:00 AM
needtolighten, I have a very sensitive skin and I don't use anything with mono lotion. Yes. My skin have been visibly lighter then before. My husband notices it too. I use it once a day only in the morning. I put mono lotion on my cleaned skin then sun block lotion on top of it after 1/2 an hour. It took two weeks to start seeing results. I got darker in the first week, but am now about 1-2 shade lighter. I moisturize my skin in the middle of the day and at night with a good body moisturizer. I exflo. Twice a week. I also take Vit. C twice a day. I think every skins are different and you just have to find a good % of mono and a good procedure for your skin. I almost gave up on mono since it irritated me so badly. But, I have so much of the mono powder and have studied a lot about it, just can't give up eassily. I am glad I can use it without irritation now and seeing result even it is slow. I started in Oct. 07, on for a week and off for a couple, re-adjusted mono %, tried again... I can now use 5% for a month without any problem. It works finally. My skin not only lightern it up but also even it up so nicely. I may try the 10% after another month. Again, be patience, careful with mono, take your time and find a good % and procedure for your skin. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN :)...

Cool..
Well I am of asian descent and up to now I have had many arabs asking me if I am arab or pakistani from time to time...
The monobenzone hasn't really done much yet but I'm happy it hasn't really darkened me all that much this time..
In fact I had a girl telling me how pink my skins gotten in the last few days.. usually I'm in the higher yellow side of skin texture..
I noticed in the mirrors compared to people that my skins pinker mostly because of the lemon rubbing I sense and then applying the monobezone..
But it was definitely darker than before.. although my fingers the knuckles seem darker than usual I'm figuring the remianing areas have lightened causing this effect.
Can't say anything right now

I suggest not putting it on your private parts! LOL are you nuts.
I admire you for tolerating lemon juice WOW! Lol
lighterrr
Mar 6, 2009, 10:34 PM
I think maybe not apply that often like 2-4 times a week seems that the skin is kind of traumatized right now and you need to take it easy to help it regain itself.
Slow and steady is always the best way to go with whitening in my opinion, you'll get to your dream color in time
mepk5
Mar 6, 2009, 11:01 PM
I agree!
I wouldn't dare play w/ pure lemons! They r acidic
Lemons themselves r .

Mar 8, 2009, 08:14 AM
Hey mepk3... well lemons isn't really affecting me that much rite now... I think its fine using them... hasn't really cause much trouble.. or anything.. besides I used to use lemons since I was 10 or eleven... when I used to get pimples.. yeah I used to get pimples at 10 because I used to eat too much of butter anedd pickles back then.. . fortunately they have died out since I turned 19... five years free of acne...
mepk5
Mar 8, 2009, 05:27 PM
Okay?? I had to get veeners cause of lemons... You are putting this on your skin your face... let me know in about 3 weeks... lol
Mix your mono w/ lotion ( no alcohol) or coca butter. Use the acid soap & suncreen in the day.
U will be fine... less is more.
needtolighten
Mar 9, 2009, 06:36 AM
Yeah mepk5 I am mixing with almond oil now... and then use a little retin a...
No alcohol anymore... but I am sort of worried it won't seep into my skin without alcohol too well.
lighterrr
Mar 9, 2009, 12:35 PM
Hey need u can use alcohol but keep it to a minimu, maybe a pinch my experience alcohol works better than lemon, you peel sooner
needtolighten
Mar 10, 2009, 05:40 PM
Hiya lighter.. yeah I think I need a touch of alcohol in there... by the way its been like what? Two weeks?/ no lightening.. no nothing.. its just about the same... for a change there is no darkening either which is good.. but nothing is really happening using the mono...
mepk5
Mar 10, 2009, 05:55 PM
Aha! I got it! Hydrogen peroxide will give u the little kick u need w/o drying your skin...
Careful on your face it will turn r eyebrows red...
mepk5
Mar 10, 2009, 05:57 PM
Don't put it in your mixture. Use it as a n astrigent. ( after u wash your face. Put it on let it dry. Then your mono.

Mar 10, 2009, 08:12 PM
Wow mpk I am scared of that mix, but if it works well gl
mepk5
Mar 10, 2009, 08:53 PM
Hydrogen peroxide is gentle it doesn't burn but it will lighten, hair skin clothes.
I've used it as an astrigent for years.
Some women use it on their mustaches... & lighten their eyebrows.
It's not alcohol or acid like lemons.
Mono is scary to put on your face! Thank goodnes I didn't try it! I'm not that daring! Or brave.

A good tip for preventing your eyebrows from getting bleached, apply vaseline over it. I do this when I'm using Jolen. :)

Yep,
I've highlighted my eyebrows before. Sally hansen has a good one also.
I will use vaseline to cover them when I use the hydrogen peroxide from now on.
Thanks punk chic!!

Mar 12, 2009, 01:01 AM
Hey mepk won't hydrogen peroxide burn your lashes away?
Sounds little scary to me babes...
Although peroxide and retin a did help me with acne blues in my early teens I know it's a sexy useful product.. it even causes temporary whitening... making you look much lighter especially if you have a cold water bath and then aplly it..
mepk5
Mar 12, 2009, 01:01 PM
No it will not burn your lashes. It doesn't burn even if u apply it to a cut or bruise.
Try it on your hands first. U'll see. It has no tingling burning or stinging. I use to exfoliate then pour about 4 bottles in my bath water. It didn't burn there either! LOL try it.

No! Not hydrogen peroxide( it will take days)
Buy the sall hansen's cream
& put it on in about 7 min they will be lighterrr. I put on & forgot once.
I ended up w blonde eyebrows. I had to add a brown lip pencil until the color grew out which was 3 weeks... LOL

Hey guys,
Its me again.. NEEDTOLIGHTEN..
Well I don't know why but the moderator has blocked me for some reason.. possibly because I lashed out and was rude to the chick when she was advocating ba...
I guess I am supposed to maintain a sense of decorum here. Well I posted a mail to the moderator apologising but I didn't get no response nor has that id been cleared .
I think it was cutebeth who asked me my progress on mono... and I replied but am not sure if you got my message on that id or not.
Well I am still using the mono... its not doing nothing for the moment... its not harming my skin either... so I'm sort of confused about what I'm doing wrong.. tried the almond oil and olive oil style like shallow mentioned also treid other styles including currently using retin a and sunscreen with mono powder by itself..
To add to it I'm in a cool climate... not working... lol
PLEASE MR. MODERATOR... I will try to maintain decorum henceforth.. Please don't block this id of mine now. I APOLOGISE for lashing out. NExt time onwards if I don't believe in what someone is saying... I will try putting it across in a better fashion. Please don't filter me out this time.

Mar 27, 2009, 04:34 PM
Nothing yet... I added 1 tube of retin a. it has an awful lot of alcohol in the HQ. I put in retin a & thought I should get something to mix it w.
The alcohol or witch hazel broke the cream down fast. I shook the jar up & it was blended.
It smells like alcohol also. My other mix didn't smell like this??

Mar 27, 2009, 08:33 PM
K so sorry its taking so long for you I saw results like after a few days, maybe your skin has developed a tolerance for hq and you may need a stronger dosage to see results ( just a thought)

Hmmm chandani you have me thinking now...
Because I was thinking of getting the HQ..
The .net mono is not working for me.. and the customer service tries to blame it on me not getting their readymade compounded mono..
I mean if I'm not compounding it right.. which is through a medical student in my uni... and using retin a and sunscreen only... it seems slightly unbelievable.
I mean I am using it at its maximum strength... I mean common at least gimme a white spot to make me believe it's the real thing...
Anyway benzyl had done the same thing for me... nothing.. and well I know for sure mono does work... I'm just worried about product authenticity this time..
I was thinking of getting the hQ... now I'm rethinking

Mar 28, 2009, 10:44 AM
Hydroquinone and benoquin do wrk.. the authentic ones sold from a pharmacy.. after being duped by herbalinn and one of the members poca from the other board..

Retin a from india works better than the real one... trussme I have used it a lot for my acne in my early teens...
Mono from india at least darkened me and gave me one little minuscule white dot on my neck then which at least makes me believe it was the real thing...
The one I got from .net doesn't do nothing.. andi always thought the previous one didn't work becoz it was sum duplicate expired version in india
Yup I'm so errol... no doubt about it.. and by the way didn't you see my pics back then>??

Mar 28, 2009, 12:35 PM
Hmmm
Surprised it didn't work for you but mono does not make you white over night and everyone reacts differently 2 it, some see spots in less than a week others it takes months, I had spots prior to using the hq which blended it out nicely with a nice pale to high yellow undertone, maybe you need a stronger strength

chandani I am sorry for you, but honestly speaking how long did you give it a try for and did you really give it a fair shot, I mean I didn't apply the hq one night and the next morning I was like 10 shades lighter, it took time and patience somethig we all often lack in skin lightening. But I stayed through and now I am enjoying my dream colour

And I mean the mono by the way... I don't know about hq.. I have never really tried using it so I can't say...
I did realise though since mepk5 mentiond how the hq smelled of alcohol from .net I put so much sanitizer in my new mono mix but the funny part is the alcohol goes in and the white residue stays on the surface of my skin... lolzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Its not going in I guess... weird but true... and it seems to be the case only on my face not other parts.. other parts seem to be absorbing the powder mixed in it but not the face...

Mar 30, 2009, 12:02 AM
Imgeorgous,
Did u put retin a in your mix? I feel the premix mono which I know worked. Was simply mono & lotion perhaps a small amount of hot water to break down the mono powders. All that extra stuff I feel make the creams less potent.
Sunscreen should be on top of your mixtures not in it. Alcohol, coca butter darken skin...

Apr 5, 2009, 06:21 AM
HI mepk5
Guess what ? I think I did mention it to you... but I handed over a small amount of mono poweder from mono.net
To my friend in university.
The moment he saw it he said there is something mixed along with the mono so its not pure mono powder.
But then he mentioned that he has to test it to find out if that's the case. He mentions the mono he has come across in the past luks slightly different and cannot make sure it's the pure form unless he tests it.
He should let me know about the authenticity soon.. Im just hoping its fast!
mepk5
Apr 5, 2009, 12:35 PM
No u didn't mention it. Im sure its mixed w something to make more money... but oh my that would explain when I purchased the premix nothing but now that area spot is even. & at least 3 shades lighter.
When I mixed the powder. I got this awful ruining my life spots...

Hey lighterr... any tips?
I first used Mono mixed by a friend with retin a and lidex cream and he told me if anything works its got to be this
IT Didn't. And then the kind lady from .net told me LIDEX has steroids... so I stopped it..
I tried almond oil and olive oil mixed with mono like Supershallow mentioend.. NOTHING
I tried Retin a and sunblock with mono... NOTHING HAS HAPPENED
I have now tried plain MICRONIZED through PESTEL AND MORTAL MONO with pure alcohol or hand sanitizer and NOTHING HAS freakni happened
Now I am also applyling BEnzyl old batch after using the MONO... My skins reddeend again like it used to when I only used BEnzyll.. and NOTHING else...
Im so freakin miffed.. My friend says the MOno may not be pure... and he is finding it dfifficult to get it tested... I am losing my patience with him too.. lol

Get HQ 20 or 40% mix it with some movate or neoprosone, apply as much as possible. Use a whitening soap to bath and wash your face with, like kojic acid soap etc. also get a good exfoliator so you can easily get rid of the peeling skin.
( I had an asia friend that used neoprosone and mono mixed together and he had fantastic results)
*** but movate and neoprosone are both steroids and they can be dangerous to your health so you really have to use them with caution**
You may also need to take some vitamin c pills or gluthathione pills I recently started to use them not sure if they work thought, I got the gluthathione injections but I haven't started on those yet
Good luck

Lighterr I think the neosporone idea is the same as lidex...
As neosporone and lidex are both steroids.. lidex didn't help me remember ?
Neosporone would essentially be ineffective too in that sense... ;9
Gosh I'm wasting my money... lol.. I need to simplyl get married and look ugly.. why am I wasting so much time on vanity?

Hey gorgeous, neoprosone is a corticosteroid and lidex is a gluco corteroid, so lidex is a little weaker than the neoprosone which is like one of the strongest skin lightening steroids out there. Like I said before my friend who is also asian had good results with it (mono + neoprosone).
You don't have to look ugly, you'll get to your desired colour its just taking a little longer than you anticipated that's all, you know I have reached my desired colour and I'm only doing maintenance now and what I have discovered is that skin lightening is a life long commitment.
You know it just doesn't stop when you have reached the colour of your dreams and patience is really a kind virtue, so just hang in there and there has to be a skin lightening cocktail that will work for you.
My other girlfriend is like rihanna's colour she started @ whoopies colour and she has been bleaching for over 6 years now. Here is her regimn
20% HQ, 20% Mono, Movate, skin whitening soap, Retina and her skin is completely flawless.

Lighterr, why are you taking injections? You said you was the color you wanted & was going to drop back to maintenance level lightening... what happened? Injections to maintain? That's a little drastic. Don't u think?
I didn't want to take the cortisone injection the dr suggested... be careful

Mpk it is but I only bought the injection I was thinking if I did it like once a week I may not have to use the creams anymore and they may come in handy when I go to africa, that's the reason behind it, I'm not sure if the cream will work so well or if ill sweat it off as soon as I put it on lol @ myself

Apr 6, 2009, 07:59 PM
Apart from that I'm OK, and I got a friend who is a chemist I want her to analyze the liquid in the syringe before I inject ( if I ever do inject)

Hey girl
How are you doing, I started to peel really fast I think I am like super sensative to hq, cause I been puttin I on my legs and it like peels right away. I believe mpk has began to peel, but everyone is different and what works for me very well, may not be the same for someone else. Just keep applying the cream and use a skin lightening soap and retina and you should have good results. Also try to be patient and know its impossible considering we all want to be light like yesterday,
so sexy
Apr 7, 2009, 04:00 PM
Girl yea, 2% has always worked great on my face. I'm still waiting on my soap kojic and papaya. They are out so hopefully the soap comes in soon. I know together it should be good the cream and soap. I still have 2 1/2 jars left so I won't be ordering for another 3 weeks maybe r when I'm down to my last jar. But do you think I should but some Movate myself and mix into it until I have them to do it for me.

Well after I read Hq is ineffective in plastic jars after its open. Perhaps I should try 40%.
So if there's no peeling? Im done off to the tanning booths.

Apr 7, 2009, 06:57 PM
Mpk I thought you where peeling, hq in plastic jar ineffective I am not sure about that all hq products I have bought always came in plastic jars, and they worked for me, but I think you should give your skin a break, going to the tanning salon may not work very well ir you may do more damage, maybe take it easy for some time, let the skin rejuvinate and recover, I feel it for you girl, ont eh diet front aka lemonade only diet I am down 7 pounds in 2 days.
so sexy I used movate before but it's a streoid and its dangerous to use if you have certain health conditions, so check it out before you use it. I was fine but I know people that have had adverse reactions to movate.
So use with caution

One dr suggested a tanning booth to get my color even. I might do it if the 40% doesn't work. I had a nice color w/o the spots.

Well lighterr... as usuall I am going the whole curb using the mono powder... but it isn't working.. and the benzyl batch which remains with me isn't helping out either...
Now the hq thingie worries me... because I'm not sure if I should get it from .net guys...
My friend still hasn't told me about the mono powder..
The ficker hasn't tested it yet... or wahtever he is supposed to do...
I'm miffed... lolzz... that's all that's up with me.. by the way if mono powder is mixed with fillers it might affect the effect right?

Like I said last time you may have success with the neoprosone & mono mixture my other male asian friend had good success with that combo he lightned about 4-5 shades, it's the only thing I can think of that may work for you gorgeous, these days I'm peeling again, I love the new fresh lighter skin I see below, but its like a light peel, not as severe as the original peel where the skin was like falling off
