Guys,

I think I might have found an authentic monobenzone powder seller in India but he has quoted me for 3 different shades of monobenzone powder (and different prices) and I don't know which of the 3 to buy:

1. (99%) Pale-brown powder
2. (99%) Light yellow-brown powder
3. (99.5%) Off-white powder.

In older posts by lovie1 (I think that was her username) she said there was also pure-white powder, or was she just referring to the off-white as pure-white?)

As far as I know 99.5% is as pure as it comes?

Let me know guys before I order.

Thanks

Another seller in india? Is that Anil? Because if it is, he never asked what kind I wanted! Lol

With powder... it depends... they usually say the whiter it is, the better and purer it is... That is going by professional companies that sell the material to chemists...

No, not anil. Anil said his powder is 99%+ but whether it is or not I don't know. Same in my case too. Yes the whiter it is the more pure it is. I read somewhere that at 98% the powder is brown.

So does this difference in purity give faster results, or better quality whitening, or______?

Well Anil told me his was 98% purity, so I'm not sure what colour it will arrive but I will let you know...

I also don't know enough to say if the white powder works quicker.. id say it would as it's a higher purity?

I guess all we can do is trial and error.. So if you get the white powder and let us know how you go... and I will let you know how I go with the powder I get from anil... We are bound to find a supplier that has a legit premium powder to buy from...

Mj how long have you been doing skin whitening? Have you been on monobenzone in the past? From what I can tell you are already of a white origin (same here) so... does it really take that long for a white person to depigment completely (I am assuming you are using whitening products since 2006)? I am asking because apart from kojic acid which I used during last winter (it worked a bit made me one shade lighter) I have no other experience.

Thanks

Yes I am white but not pale.. and I do have vitiligo, but only 10 percent, and no one can really notice as my skin is quite light anyway.. With depigmenting, for light skin people it doesn't take that long to depigment as we don't have that much melanin to kill.. so it works quicker for us. The guy I was chatting to a couple of years ago who depigged in 8 months was also light skin, and he started using 10 percent, then went to 20 percent and then stayed on 40 percent for the last 3 months I think..
I have been using products since 2006 yes, but I stopped for a while because I came across a bad mono batch that had other stuff in it and it made me sick, so I stopped, and then started again and used cream from 7unite which was really good, but they mix other chemicals into the cream which is bad for the body, but I did lighten the most with their product, anyway I stopped again, and I gained colour back, and only in the last couple of weeks have I started again, using the fair and glow stuff which has turned me tanned again! I don't understand it... one day tan, one day light.. I don't know what's causing it, but anyway, I have 2 jars left I think so when I'm through with them, I will start on the powder from anil and make my own cream and give it two weeks and see what happens with my skin and then I will post up photos and let people know how its working...

Well good luck! Last year I used diana stadler lotion and kojic acid soap (got it on eBay)... I only put it on for about 2 weeks and it made me a shade lighter... people noticed cause a coworker said my face looked pale... I don't know if that was because I was wearing white makeup also and made it even more noticeable. Now I am back to my italian skin colour which some people find sexy but I don't really like.

In regards to the photos.. get a photo now (the before) and then take a photo after two weeks (the after) so we can compare. I heard of people who went a shade or two lighter in just two weeks!

Mono off white or beigh can be 98-99%
White mono USP very expensive 98-102%

Can't tell you where to get it cause it would be advertising, but its out their and I get it from north america and not asia

But what would be the advantage over USP mono to normal mono? Please do explain because just a color difference won't justify the difference in price if both can get the work done.

I have contacted many pharmaceutical companies in Europe and Asia and some in the USA and NONE said they had a higher percentage than 99.6% so I do not know where you get your 102% mono. In fact I think you have been misinformed by the marketing geniuses who take us, poor people who want to lighten, for fools. I do know that monobenzone.net 'claims' to sell 102% but come on that site claims a lot of things.

Hmmmm.. how can I contact... this.. Anil in india

I am selling mono powder I purchased from Anil if anyone is interested. It works very well if mixed and applied properly. I can also give you the recipe I used that worked for me. Contact me if you are interested : [email protected]. The amount I have will last you one whole year.

Hi roseydin,
Is your Monobenzone USP? From what I know Anils mono is not USP so does that play a difference in the quality?

What is the amount that will be required for a whole year by a normal person?

Thanks

I know the quality of mono Anil sent me is good because I have been using for 2 years with good results. I have achieved allover lightening except for a few spots on my arms. They are barely noticeable because they are blending nicely. A little goes a loong way. Initially start using a 5% solution and work your way up to a 20% sol. But no more.

Shouldn't you be completely depigmented by now if you have been using it for two whole years? And how much mono powder does one need for a year supply?

No not necessarily. I have lightened noticeably, but I am not fully depigmented. I took breaks as well in between which caused my skin to darken up a little but quickly lightened again once I resumed applying. I haven't used mono since Jan because I found out I am pregnant. Luckily I haven't darkened. I have been applying sunblock religiously to maintain and a glycolic acid lotion . I have 870 grams of mono powder, which is more than enough for a year.

870 grams is enough for a year?

If you are making a 60ml cream each time you will be using 12g monobenzone powder each time. That results in 72 60ml jars. If you put the cream on twice a day all over your body (as you are supposed to) wouldn't you expect to use one 60ml jar every 2-3 days? I would.

I think 870g would last someone only for half a year not 12 months. Am I wrong? Just my opinion.

But what would be the advantage over USP mono to normal mono? Please do explain because just a color difference wont justify the difference in price if both can get the work done.

There is a very big difference, normal mono is beigh in colour and it is not REFINED, its just the raw powder. Whereas mono USP is refined AND PROCESSED SPECIFICALLY FOR COSMETIC USAGE but its hard to get a hold of but I managed to get some in my mono days:D also this mono assayss from 98-102% so it's the highest grade

Just like hq also has a usp grade which has been further refined for cosmetic usage its cheaper though and it works all the same except hq is not permanent, if I where you I would do the hq because of the price

Thanks Lighterrr,

Well I spoke to my seller last night and he said it conforms with the requirements of USP and it is also pharmaceutical grade! The colour of the powder is still off-white though and not pure white and it is 99.6% assay. I think that is all I needed to know! It is surely going to be more pure than if I bought it from that website monobenzone.net.

Fyi any mono that assays for 96% is filtered with something else and its not pure as far as I know you cannot get mono usp with a grade less than 98% and the mono usp can assay up to 102%, I got mine from .net @ first then the sold out so I bought it from spectrum the secound time around

But mono is dangerous but you'll soon find out good luck to you

Lighterrr,
Not 96% but 99.6%! And the seller said there is no need for 102% (the maximum purity) as 98+% will do the trick. And yes you are right anything below 98% is not suitable for your skin. I would not advice anyone to buy from .net as I have heard great horror stories here and on other forums. Also a friend of mine bought from there and used it for 8 months and absolutely nothing! It is great that it has worked for you but if I go by statistics then the product they sell is not the real deal!

Anatola,
I am very glad that you have been doing your research. Please keep us posted with your progress.

Hello, guys,

I've buy from Anil of india and threemonths of daily use of 20% cream I don't get any result.

hello, guys,

Um, I thought you got your cream from the same place I did, the mac company/fair and glow?
Anil doesn't run that company from what I know? Anil only sells raw monobenzone powder?

hello, guys,

I would also like to say if you were using the mac cream like you said you did in one of your other posts, and didn't see results, maybe you were not applying it properly because the cream has had effects with other people that are using it, even if its just peeling or whatever, they have had at least something, and your saying absolutely nothing has happened? How did you apply it and where, how many times and also were you out in the sun, did you use sunscreen? You have to question all these matters...
The fair and glow cream had effects in the first week with me, lightened me 2 shades, though it did make me go tanned as well.. and I have been peeling and dry and very scaly around my eyes still and now on my arms... around my wrists have white spots and streaks and a few on my chest area, but no where else at this stage...

I must say though that I am a bit cautious about what is in the cream still.. and why does it smell like lemons? I thought maybe they put that lemon bleaching cream from those other skin lightening creams, into theirs and sold it as mono, because I have never known mono to smell like lemons before and they haven't given me their ingredients to what is in their cream... they just say it is the patented benoquin cream..
But yeah, they could have so easily just put in that lemon bleaching cream with has hydroquinone in it, in their creams and sold it for a higher price as mono... who knows really...

OK, but with anil's powder, did you test it or mix it properly into a cream? I should be getting my powder in a couple of days so I will test it myself anyway..
From what I know though, people have had very good results with anil, so your comment has confused me... Which Anil did you buy from? What was his last name?

Im desperate to depig my skin also. I just bought some mono cream from Fairnglw and I don't think it working. Can someone please help me out by telling me where I can get the real deal? Thanking in advance.

Indian like do you want to get completely white, you can do a Google search, but stay away from anything that comes from china

Lol!! Lighterr you are a mess!!

Lol girl where have you been, I've gone all natural now

Oh I have serious res about what's posted here.
& u know what I'm dealing w as far as my skin.
Its bad. t
It's discouraging

What's natural?? Lol or spotted!?

Nah I'm using a natural product now cannot comment on it until I see results I bought the powder and I'm making it on my own

Good luck w that but uve been on quite the journey.
Injections, pills, mono, BA... etc.
u've had spots light & dark areas when are you going to stop?

How much lighterr do you want to be?. a freaky MJ??

I have areas that isn't getting the small brown spots. So the mono did remove the melocyctes from my skin.
Some areas the color is coming back. I think I may be permanently spotted. Or I can correct it w mono!! LOL
Not for a while I have to let my skin complete this never ending cycle its on...

This is for Anatola,Mj2006 and lighterrr also Ahid please I need more info on where to purchase the mono powder my email is [email protected]

mepk5, please let us know how you're doing. Best of luck on your new mono journey!!

Hey mcmg hwo have you been/ has the lightening taken its full course on you ?

I'm trying steam sauna everything and its still not woking for me !

Hi, imgorgeous, I am making progress on my mono project. I have a lot of spots on my calfs now. My upper arms are lightening a lot but not my forearms. I am in my 5th month and hopefully my hands will be done in another few months. It's a slow process and I don't think I'll be done soon since I's told that it will take one to two years... How have you been ? How is your HQ going on you ?

Hi mepk5, Yes, I'm making very slow progress since I was using it only on my hands and legs for a couple of months then I started to use it all over my body except my face since a couple of months ago. I do have spots on my hands and legs and most of them were connected. I have new spots come out on my calfs now. My uncle told me that it will take another one/two years to finish the treatment. Don't worry since you have viltilgo, mono will work on you for sure. What is your Dr. told you that how long will it take to finish ? I have very little viltiligo to start with and that's why it will take longer. I have a lot of viltiligo friends and most of them take about a year, a year and a half to finish. Let us know how it go and best of luck to you on your new mono journey.

Im desperate to depig my skin also. i just bought some mono cream from Fairnglw and i dont think it working. can someone please help me out by telling me where I can get the real deal? thanking in advance.

I'm in the process of getting pharmaceutical grade Benoquin USP from a legitimate organization at a very reasonable price. If this deal goes through, I will let you know and provide the contact information.

jystyn, I would like to know that too since I am paying the powder plus the compounding charges. Please let me know the contact information too. Thanks in advance.

Ok I've tried this once and failed to get a response, so I figure I'll try again, here goes. I'm in search of a supplier for the mono powder if anyone on this thread is willing to share their info on a supplier I would greatly appreciate it... thanks in advance
My email [email protected]

mepk5, I don't mix mine, a local pharmacy do it for my prescription. I am sure if your mono powder is pure or real, the pharmacy will be willing to buy it back from you. You may want to try and nothing to loose. I am not sure who told you that you shouldn't get spots. Several of my vitiligo friends even get niew spots when they were under mono treatment. Some even have hyperpigmentation. But, at the end, they all are in one color. I am hoping that I'll be in one color in one year too. Cheer. I am sure you'll be fine too. Hope all the best for you !

mepk5, I used a mixture from one of my friend who got mono powder from Anil for my first sevral months. I used it on and off because I got irritation and rashes, even with 5%. Just I got used to her mono, she left and I have no choice but to let my family know that I am treating my vitiligo with depigmentation. My uncle prescribes 20% for me and he may move up to 40% for me soon since I don't have any more irritation and rashes with the cream. Mine is coumpounded and I get it in a jar. It is expensive, $90 for 60g. I got darker at first, then spots. But, the spots are connected slowly. I also started to see lightening but very slow too. My spots are mostly on my feet and body. My spots on my hands are connected and now with two colors. The whiter skin is expanded slower. I am not putting mono on my face because my uncle says "no". One will not notice my spots unless they are very close to me since I am fair with light olive color. Good luck to your mono treatment.

Mepk, I think people without vitiligo (one color of skin) are lucky, no matter what color they are :)... I have 10+% vitiligo for a long time and did not increase or get worse and they are mostly on my hands and feet. I have several vitiligo friends (30% - 60%) who have treated with all kinds of treatments : repigmentation and depigmentation. I think mono gives good results and cheaper for most of them. I decided to treat my vitiligo in Oct. 2008 because my vitiligo started to show up on my face and my friends all encourage me to do so. I can cover my hands and feet all the time, but I hate to do so for my face. I went through repigmentation routes : topical therapies such as steroids, V-tar, and natural therapies such as taking folic acid and Vitamin B-12 for years since my vitiligo are less than 20% and my family wanted me to do so. Nothing really help and started to get worse since middle of 2008. I tried with phototherapy (PUVA) for 3/4 months and had to stop due to stomach upset and burning problem. I decided to use mono after I have learned all other treatment options. Now, with my family's support, I am hanging in there. BTW, sounds like you'll be a good candidate for mono treatment if the sports are spreading by themselves now. That means, you will be depigmented sooner. Best of luck to your DR's appointment. Let us know how it goes.

Hey mepk

Just came bak from miami.. and got a crazy tan.. its funny how quicky the skin can get dark but takes forever to lighten.. ughh

Nwyayz why are we still on mono.. that stuff will ruin in the long run... isn't there anythig new yet ?

Mequinol seems to possibly be promising. It is known to be milder than mono but stronger than Hq, so I'm still trying to read as much as I can about this.

Getting it without a script is difficult though

You mean for the mequinol? That's what I heard, but there has to be somewhere that sells the real thing without prescription I hope?

I think you can buy menoquil online without a doctor perscription, but you only apply it on the area you want to lighten so if your spotted from mono like me you would have to apply to the dark areas only and not to the entire skin surface. Menoquil aka solage is only suppose to me used to fade age and liver spots and once the area is faded your suppose to discontinue usage.

Menoquil is something different than what I was mentioning. Menoquil is for older women with menopause who are suffering from hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, and lack of libido.
The one I'm mentioning is mequinol aka Solage Mequinol/Tretinoin Facts and Comparisons at Drugs.com (http://www.drugs.com/cdi/mequinol-tretinoin.html), Solage (Mequinol and Tretinoin) Drug Information: Uses, Side Effects, Drug Interactions and Warnings at RxList (http://www.rxlist.com/solage-drug.htm)

Mepk please let me know what your doctor states about the use of this product and how it affects the skin..

It's recommened you can use Mequinol 2% (depigmentation agent) & Tretinoin 0.01% (topical retinoid) to help lighten the skin. But, I don't know if it gradually lightens or completely depigments the skin like mono?

I remember seeing these tubes of menoquil/tretinoin.. on canadian pharmacies.. but I'm not so sure about their potency.. right now I'm not really sure about any of these stuff anymore

Thanks Chandani. Do you think the sites are genuine and sell authentic mequinone? What are you currently using?

I wont have a problem ..... Im going to get it from a dr if he think it will help.....

thanks Golden girl, that's is a great option..... Thanks!!! I will ask the Dr. & see what he thinks. perhaps its cheaper than their cream or the Pharmacist cream........ good to know!!!

Hmmm...

jystyn, I would like to know that too since I am paying the powder plus the compounding charges. Please let me know the contact information too. Thanks in advance.

Sorry I took so long, but I was jumping through hoops just to get a couple of pots of mono! I can't put out the info completely. I can tell you more if you pm me. I can tell you that it's a compound which means it can be easily combined with creams and oil. I've been combining mono with avon anew alternative (a thin layer of that, then a thin layer of mono). It stings like 15-20% glyco but damn if it doesn't do the job. The spots are there on my leg but they aren't obvious unless you point them out. The area I'm lightening has lightened 2 solid shades and that is in 2 months. The crusting has dimnished and I keep the area moisturised with anew and bio-oil to cut down on that. I'm pretty satisfied with the results and I plan on ordering from them again. The one thing I can tell you is that mono/beno is on a substance watch list in north america since 2005 so if you do buy the tube from india especially check the expiry date on the crinkle part.

Hi, looking to buy some, maybe from you jystn let me know whatsup at [email protected]

Uh, ancestor you should be careful posting your email so openly on the internet like that. Not a smart thing to do. Besides with all the fake mono going around, someone most likely would be sending you prepackaged baking soda.. not mono.

Yes that is true, have you found anything yourself?

I've tried a few things. Right now I'm using hq 4%/retina 0.025%, likas papaya soap, 55h+ glycerine, vitamin c 1,000mg for about 3 weeks now.
