I have been using monobenzone for last two months.I am Hispanic,I already got light olive skin tone like J Lo,but for some reason I wanted to to have alpha pale skin,like anglina jolie.
I am using benquin 20% monobenzone for last two mmonths,first it made my skin three shade darker than my real skin color,now I got brown patches on my cheeks,the skin aroung my lip area getting depig slowly and smoothly,and I have light and dark patches around my neck and cleavage area. My picture is included!
I am really upset by uneven brown and white patches around my neck,cheeks and face,I can't even hide them with make up.my mom is going to visit me in next month,she will get mad at me for using monobenzone.
How can I get rid of these brown ptches on my cheeks?shall I carry on using monobenzone?until I get complete depigmentation?but that is really slow process,I have no patience to stay in patch work.
What shall I do to get rid of brown patches?shall I switch to mequinal instead of monobenzone?does mequinal make skin lighter evenly?does mequinal work faster than monobenzone?
Shall I use phenols 88% to get rid brown patches on my cheeks?
I desperately need help thanks!
I am showing two photes of me,one with black top with make up and smooth skin is before using monobenzone,the secand one without make up with brown patches is after using monobenzone.

I used to have lovely even skin tone,monobenzone made my skin darker and patch work of brown,white spots.

May I ask, did you buy your benoquin from buy-pharma?

Dolice, I would stop using it on my face. You could go to a doctor and get a prescription for mequinol and that may help even your face out a bit. Also, retin-a may help. However, it seems that you are at a hard stage with monobenzone. You have to make a choice to continue using it in order to fully depig and eventually have even pale skin or to stop completely and get help from a dermatologist. It looks as if it is working fairly quickly. Depigging with monobenzone is usually a lengthy, and expensive process. Are you using your own mixture or are you using a ready made cream?

By the way, chemical peels could help with your face.

I using ready made mixture,it costs £145.00 a 113gm,I use 4 jars in one month.
I don't understand why I developed brown patches on my cheeks,and why it made my skin darker?it is suppose to make skin lighter not darker!:confused::confused::(

Sorry about this...
I do not mean to scare you at all.But from what I know and what I have heard about mono, it is used to depigment and it is PERMANENT. Those who start the race with mono are tough. Those white patches you have may have been TOTALLY depigmented... meaning they can never come back to the way that area originally used to be.That is why many people FEAR using it for you never know. I may be wrong... but if I am right... hmm... I don't know what you can do.But I am sure people in the forum can help you out...
Golden_Girl...
Sara...
Someone needs advice here... she really got an issue.
Hang in there.Hope you get through this.

Dolice, hang in there. Mono works in weird ways. You could be using it on your arm and start get white spots on your stomach. What it is doing is completely killing off the cells that produce melalin. You may just want to stop applying to your face and apply every where else cause eventually your face will lose the brown patches and whiten up as well.

Dolice, I just sent you a PM.

no!I BROUGHT SOMEWHERE ELSE!


Where did you buy yours from them? I thought the only real sources were buy-pharma and genericsmed hmm.

Hi dolice,

Listen hun patience is important now, that how mono works, if you chose to use it ,you must know that you will be patchy for sometime. I don't advice you to switch to mequinal it is weaker than mono, it will not work as fast.

As it is working on your face, a lot of people say the face get depiged fast, what you can do to speed it up use retin a 1 hour before applying mono, it will sure speed it up.

I don't really like benquin made by MAC LABS,I don't think that works really well.
I got mine from somebody in Ireland!

Oh really? I am very interested in purcheshing benoquin. Is it possible that you can tell me the site you bought your from? I would be very grateful. Im italian, my complexion is a little lighter then your original color. I have done so much research and those are the only two I could find.

Thanks for yours help hun!
I am not sure about using retin-A on my face,it make my skin itchy and scratchy.I used pure glycolic lotion after using mono cream,to speed up the process but it only made my skin more darker.
What do you think if I use 88% phenol or co2 laser to get rid of brown patches on my cheeks.
I am really worried about my mom ,I don't want her to find out that I am using mono.I want to get rid of brown patches before she come back to London,

I really don't advice you to use Phenol peel it is very dangerous. It is the harshest on the skin, I also tried glyoclic lotion 12% it did nothing for me. Retin a is showen in a study that fasten the effect of mono. I have tried myself and in just couple of days I can see the effect.

You can start on low % and work your way up.

Just to add if you use retin a and mono for whole month you will see the effect. Just stay positive, and you will get there, don't ruin your skin with harsh pehnol peel

Sara where did you buy your mono powder from? I was going to buy mono from buy-pharma but I don't know if its legit or not. What's your opinion?

I have no idea about buy-pharma, I don't know about them maybe it is a good thing as I know most of scam sites that sell mono.

Dolice let us know hun how it goes for you. I will post pictures to show you the effect of retin a.

Best of luck

Good luck too, Dolice.

Hey Dolice... Like I said if I could afford it , id go in for a phenol peel and then stay away from the sun for the whole month. After healing up Id start on mono or mequinol..

And I'm sure it would show effect!

I heard that skin can get scared permanently with phenol peel,is that true?I am not sure the doctor will perform this on my skin type.

Dolice let us know hun how it goes for you. I will post pictures to show you the effect of retin a.

Shall I use higher strength of monobenzone like 40% to reduce the brown patches on my skin?would it make a diffeence if I use 40% of strength?

Don't go that high just yet, you are using 20%? If you want you can increase it to 25% or 30% with retin a, your face hopfully will even out soon. If you concentrate on your face only, two application per day, retin a one hour before and using good sunblock at all time, it should work.
Have you been protecting your skin with good sunblock all the time? Even cloudy days?
Once you use mono and don't cover up from the sun you will get some brwon spots coming back, until you are totally done. Those spots I see are very tiny, just be positive hun they will go away.

Forget the idea of phenol peel, mono is working in your skin you just need more time.

Yes I try to protect skin from sun,I don't go outside until 4pm,but sometimes when it is cloudy I don't use any sun block.

Since I am using monobenzone,I have notice a strange thing that my eye color is fading as well.my real eye color is grey,now I looks lighter than before,it look like platinum grey shade. It looks scary against my dark skin.
Does monobenzone effects eye color as well?

Clouds are not good filter for the sun, UV rays penetrate clouds. Those spots are tiny though they will go away you just have to work on it and make sure you always protected.

No monobenzone will not change your eye colour but you have to be very careful not to apply around your eye area. That area will depigment by itself, if mono goes in your eyes it can be very damaging. So stay clear from it.

What is the best sun block to protect the skin,I use elemis liquid layer sun spf 30.

I am sure its not my imagination,my eye color is definitely got lighter by using monobenzone.
Scientists are still don't know the mechanical effects of monobenzone on human body special on the pigmentation of eye color.
So what are the effectse of mononbenzone on human liver and other organs? The prolong use of mono wouldn't it toxicify the liver ?
How long we have to use monobenzone?the rest of life?

Guys!is there any other way to depig skin permanantly apart from monobenzone.there must be any alternative way for vitiligo patients to depig their skin by something else,like co2 or ruby laser to remove all the pigment from skin?

i am sure its not my imagination,my eye color is definatly got lighter by using monobenzone.

Another mono user reported that she noticed her eyes color had changed so maybe you should ask her.
And she is using a higher percentage like 70% or something :eek:.
Her name is mj2006.

I use only 15% of strength five times a week for last two months,my eyes are really sensitive to light now when I wake up in the morning it take a while for my eyes to adjust the day light.

Wow in two months with just 15% and only 5 times a week you got all those patches? I am using 25% although there are patches, nothing in my face so far just general lightning but the stage the face gets spotted it is the time it gets depigmenting totally.

I wonder if this is the mono with mercury in it that depigs the skin only temporarily, but very quickly and also very dangerously! The mono is from ireland and is being sold on eBay.. I recommend people test it first before using, I'm sure this is the mercury one.. I also used it ages ago then realised what was in it and stopped, and then my skin repigmented pretty quickly after, going back to normal... Real mono doesn't do that.. Be careful guys!

Thanks mj now it makes sense, that is way too fast for mono to work, people with vitiligo wait for a months to a year to see results . I have been using since mid February this year, it is not that fast.

Yes scientists don't understand the actual mechanism of monobenzone but they know it depigment, otherwise it will not be the first option as depigmenting agent.

Regarding changing the eye colour, monobenzone will not change the eye colour, that has not been seen in any study, and even if it was an odd case it will get reported. even in rare occasions some drug will do things not expected to do. For example 2% monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (Mequinol)is approved for treatment of solar lentigines it was reported the case of a young West Indian girl who used 2% monomethyl ether of hydroquinone for 3 months and developed extensive confetti-like hypopigmentation

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119517683/abstract

I am not sure what is happening to your eye colour but Authentic monobenzone has not been reported to do so.

Shifa's PURE Monobenzone Cream 20% (http://www.ec21.com/product-details/Shifas-PURE-Monobenzone-Cream-20--3810414.html)

This is one of the contacts for the ireland mono.. just to let people know, they don't actually send you mac mono... they put another cream in that they make and also put it in another container and tell you that they do this for customs.. a bit dodgy.. another one on eBay is that 3 percent mono... its actually not mono either.. its mercury with hydroquinone.. the cream goes brown pretty quickly with oxidation, just like normal hydroquinone cream you get from the pharmacy..

The real mono you will find are from Germany and holland and a few other places in the world... They do get you to either send info proving that you are a pharmacist or run a lab as they won't send the powder to you unless you give them a lab address to send it to.. They won't send mono to a residential address not to mention customs tend to hold real mono as people can make bombs out of it.. so they can keep it while they investigate why its coming into the country and who ordered it and so on... In the US, they have been known to monitor people who don't have prescriptions, who use it and some have had their names listed on the suspected terrorist lists, its crazy...

Great info mj2006, that will help others who buy from anywhere and believe it is mono.

Hi,Dolice!That's how monobenzone,works it killing your pigments in your skin,that why you have them light patches in your face,you can stop the use or continue the use,it will even out,try not to apply on the white patches,just the color ones to you even up,it may also cause more white patches on you,where places you don't apply the monobenzone cream,it's works erratic..

I am really worried since sara and mj told me that its not normal for mono to give white ptches withen two months.and my mono could be impure or mixed with mercury!
I regret :( getting involved with mono.it didn't have any knowledge about mono before I start using it.I thought its was just a normal skin lightener.I don't know how to reverse my mistake?I made my skin darker than my original color than gave me white patches.
It could be possible that my mono is mixed with mercury?
I live in north west London,can you please help me to find out if how to know if my mono is pure or not?how and where to get it tested?

Dolice,2 months is long to cause pigment lost of the skin in some people,monobenzone is some strong stuff,even at 20%... Where did you get yours from,inbox me...

@ dolice - There is no hard or fast rule saying that mono cannot patch you up within two months. When I did use icn benoquin.. my skin darkened as a quick rate. If I had used it longer it would dry, peel and end up white. This all in a matter of few weeks.

So its subjective.. Besides.. you are almost caucasian light... Obviously it could and should work on your skin faster.

Sara, Mj, or Myself.. we have deeper coloured skin. It will work over time for us.

So please don't get so low on subjective statements. It works differently on different people. If its working your lucky.. I have used batches that I used on and off for years and NEVER GOT A SINGLE WHITE PATCH not even a spot.

Yeah,dolice.. Imgorgeous is right... it just working faster on you,you got the real stuff,mercury is not mixed in there,you got the real stuff...

At 15% it there is no way can be that fast, I didn't say mono will not give patches in first 2 months but face normally take longer, and it looks like she has a lot of patches for short period.

Hun, I am really sorry but that way too fast for mono, even with vitiligo it is not that fast. Yes mono will give patches but face normally take longer, and you said you only using it 5 times a week with 15% please stop using whatever is that, it does not look like it is mono.

sara_uk,what strength you using?Do you have spots yet,I used it to but no to long,I had change my mind of doing it...

If its not mono,then how I got patches at that places where I never used mono?I should be possible that the melanocytes on my skin are weaker and not resisting to mono much.I read somewhere that sometimes if you use mono less strength and less often,then yours melancytes does not bother to protect yours skin against monobenzone,and same if you use mono in large quantity or strength to start with then melancytes get alert and start building resistance against monobenzone.
Well!mono works differently on different people.

People ask me that why I want to depig my skin?since I already have a light skin?
My problem is that I got ginger hair and platinum grey eyes with olive skin, that's looks weird because ginger people have very pale skin.
My dad is half white and half hispanic,my mom is full hispanic,both got dark eyes and dark hair,but some stupid genetic reason I got my dad's grand father's ginger hair and platinum grey eyes which looks so freaky on my olive skin,I dye my hair in brown color still can't get rid of orange tone.
So I want to have very pale skin to match with my ginger hair.

I wish you the best I really do
I am still worried and suspicious about my cream.I stopped using it until I get it tested.

i am still worried and suspicious about my cream.i stopped using it until i get it tested.

That is good, if you got it tested then you will be assured. Is this patches like this everywhere? Even on your feet and legs? As legs and feet are very hard areas. I am not saying you will get patches but that speed it is too fast for it. If you look at my first thread here you will notice I have started researching about mono since September 2006, during that time I have met people who used it and I have got great idea how it works. Plus eBay is full of scammers, I wouldn’t trust that place for monobenzone.

Best of luck

@ dolice - I would then suggest not wasting time and getting it tested at the earliest.

If its authentic mono, which I anyway suspect it is, you don't want to give your melanocytes so much time to get resistant.

I still feel mono works differently on different people. And since your gene pool has white in a recent generation,your skin is more receptive to mono.

That's just my opinion. I may be wrong. Besides even hispanics are relatively light mostly. And your olive skin is so far from the hispanic looking people. Its more like a tanned american caucasian person .

I suggest you go full throttle now ! Get your mono tested quickly so you can continue. Don't waste so much time that your body gets the hang of the product.

Dear Dolice,

Greetings!

Ever since I told you that as per MY OWN OPINION, since you have caucasian genes, that may have helped mono work faster on you, I HAVE BEEN IN THE LINE OF FIRE FROM FRIENDS ON THE FORUM.

This is a statement made NOT FROM ANY SCIENTIFIC BACKING. Please keep this in mind.

This is a theoretical assumption which many concluded over time, on other forums that I have visited in the past.

There was a huge discussion once on another forum where a thread was posted just to discuss that people who were dark yet had caucasian or light skinned parents or grandparents had a higher probability of lightening through monobenzone. And most felt that it was possibly true.

Now my statement is just an assumption of various things I have read on forums and articles.

I cannot point out a precise SCIENTIFIC database about this. If I do , and trussme, God Im going to search for one, I will post it here.

I have been told that you are listening to my statement and thereby are continuing the use of that mono. I never thought anyone even listens to me anyway, but if you have, kindly get your mono tested immediately .

I still would suggest doing it quickly so that if it is GENUINE , you could still start using it and get your benefits quickly before melanocyte resistance sets in.

Warm Regards,
Imgorgeous !

Since I stopped using my cream a lot of new white patchs pooped up in my skin.
I have developed chemically induced vitiligo:eek:by using monobenzone.
I don't know what to do now?
My mom is going to visit me soon,she will get really hurt if she find out what I have done to myself.

How long has it been since you'v last used the cream?

I know this may be too little too late but IDK who told you that you needed MONO for your desired results... stop using it and seek a dermotologist ASAP... you could have gotten your desired results maybe from even using HQ or if you want permanenet maybe Mequinol slowly... And don't let anyone tell you that there is no help you've been using this for two months only... the skin is surprisingly resilient...

I really am advising you to stop self treating and go see a doc... and even though people are giving OK advice... I really think that you are edging up a dark alley continuing with this... and experimenting with your skin is actually no joke when you are actually ruining it an there is significant evidence leading to that you are in fact ruining your skin based on the photos... what people are telling you is fine and dandy but most of them aren't waking up with brown and white patches for the most part... I think you should abandon this whole mono idea (don't start using more crap to try and fix it on your own you may make it worse... and I don't know why anyone steered you towards mono at all...

people ask me that why i want to depig my skin?since i already have a light skin?
my problem is that i got ginger hair and platinum grey eyes with olive skin, that's looks weird because ginger people have very pale skin.

so i want to have very pale skin to match with my ginger hair.

Maybe its just me, but strange features have makings of a model written all over them ;) sounds like you're the way most of us dream of looking lol... I have always wanted something really strange and interesting and rare... Diamonds are valuable because they are rare... :D

Its human nature that we want to have what we don't have!
My Swedish blond friend is taking tanning injections and tanning pills to make her skin permanently dark.
It is so easy to make anybody's skin dark but it is so hard to make skin permanently white.

A lot of people tell me that people with normal skin can't depig completely by using monobenzone.is that true?

Dolice.. No its not true!

You are however, BOUND TO GET PATCH WHILE LIGHTENING with mono.

If you take proper precautions and continue, you will succeed!

Lots of people have succeeded at it . Why not you ?

a lot of people tell me that people with normal skin can't depig completely by using monobenzone.is that true?

I have read that occasionaly you may get small patches but they fade away too with mono... there isn't really any sound "truth" about what a persons skin will do so its all trial and error... however I do think that after a few months whatever is happening to your skin now may go away and not be permanent... no matter what mama, good luck to you. You'll find something that works out right and just keep us posted:o

Well, this is very strange. If I were you, I would seriously get the stuff tested before I continued to use it. Unless it is from a real pharmacy, you can never be too sure of what you are getting. Why don't you just invest in a really good makeup to cover this when you go out? From personal experience, it took me two months to get to the color I wanted. I only did my neck. I got patches, but they were hard to notice on my already pale skin. I was using real mono.

Let me get this straight. The lighter areas in the second picture are your original color, but the darker parts are from using mono? Is that right? That is usual. Mono is supposed to give you white patches, not dark ones. If you do get it tested, and it comes back legit, then don't quit using it. If you really want pale skin, you will get there eventually.

I still suggest stopping the mono, maybe try mequinol...

Yes monobenzone made my skin darker than my real color then gave me brown and white patches!

Hey so that can't be mono your using... it's meant to give you white patches not dark ones..

I want to have phenol peel,which depigs skin completely, but I am surprised to find out that nobody performs this peel in London anymore.
Some clinics do perform TCA,GLYCOLIC,and OBAGI,but none of them perform phenol peel,I have done all research I couldn't find any practitioner who does phenol peel.
I might have to go USA!

hey so that can't be mono your using...it's meant to give you white patches not dark ones..
I have both brown and white patches

i still suggest stopping the mono, maybe try mequinol....
I am alergic to HQ,isn't mequinol is similar to HQ?

I am alergic to HQ,isn't mequinol is similar to HQ?

Maybe so... I'm going to try mequinol soon too... wish I had more info.. very few of the members have really tried Mequinol. But one I know has seemed to have good luck with it...

Dessaml right ?
Where is she ?

Not seen her around anymore.. How is your lightening going dessaml?

Are you like really light now ?

Come back to let us know dessam

Does meqiunol lighten up evenly without giving patches?

Phenol peels are for people with wrinkles, freckles or bad acne. You appear to have nice, normal young skin, do not do phenol. It is too drastic. Just keep using the mono. When you say you are Hispanic, do you mean you are of Spanish descent? Or are you mixed with some kind of non white ethnicity? The reason I ask is because when someone says Hispanic in America, they are usually referring to a brown person of South American descent, not a white Spaniard from Spain. You have to be patient with skin whitening. When I was doing mine, it took two months, and I thought it wasn't working, but then right at the two month mark, I noticed the difference.

I am surpised to find out that nobody perform phenol peel anymore in london, checked everywhere.
Well I am Spanish descendant from European side,my whole family got very pale skin,I am the only one in the family who got slghtly darkish skin like Mediterranean people.

Georgeous how are you hun, dolice I would be very interested in whatever you find to get rid of your spots, I also have spots from mono

Hey lighterr... long time babes..

So you still on mono or quit ?

Well I must say I am doing pretty well and mono users on another broad I have been on have gotten results... Its amazing to watch.

Anyway, How's you again... Where are you nowadays!

Currently I am not on mono.Will tell you about stuff laters OK ?

Lol I stop lightening for now, not using anything, going to go to a detm and work with them

georgeous how are you hun, dolice i would be very interested in whatever you find to get rid of your spots, i also have spots from mono
Its not just spots its big patches.

Hi there..
I'm very keen on trying mono as well.. I've got a lot of freckles in my face, and would love to get rid of them.
I've been looking around the web to buy mono, but I cannot find a trustworthy site.
Where did you guys got your mono from?

Can't believe new people come and ask for mono didn't you read my posts?

Of course I did, I read all the post from this subject.
Thing is, like I said, I've got a lot of freckles. That means that I'm already spotted.
White spots, brown spots, you name it.. I've got it already because of my skin type..

Mono is not for that..
Its for vitiligo.. you think you just apply it and just about it?
No no.. Its pain! And suffring.. no more sun light.. patches all over your body.. come and go.
Dryness and irritation.. peeling.. every day it's a daily war! And when you getting to the point when you tierd and want to stop.. its too late because you have to continue with that sh1t for the rest of your life! Or you're going to look worst

Susan... After reading this. You still have the nerve to try it? I don't even feel sorry for people like you. Lmfao.

Mono is not for freackls!

@ susan 84 - get a jessners peel done or something to that effect.. your freckles should clear

Hey! I was just thinking of using mono. But wow! Your pictures! Im so sorry! How's it going now? What are you doing now? Please let me know! It seems that me and you have a lot in common. How's it going now? Did your face completely go white in ONE color?

Dolice your natural color is so beautiful , but I understand wanting to lighten :) I think you might want to consider just using a lighter color of mineral makeup on your face and neck and dust it heavily to hide the discoloration, I'm glad you posted the pic I wanted to use mono but I'm to scared

One more think is that I'm sorry that happen to you.. consider calling a doctor specialized in this area perhaps they can supervise the rest of your progress because with Mono there is not turning back

Lol fairy hmm how unexpected lol

mj2006
Mercury is NEVER used in Mono products from Ireland, as I did a purity test in the laboratory of our neighbour, the result is 100% PURE !:


You did the test where? In the kitchen? Tell us what test and what results?

Yeah we believe you a newbie with 2 posts!:rolleyes:

So the monobenzone cream from mac-shifa is real,from ireland?

Wow you really adore mac-shifa
There isn't such thing as monobenzone cream 100% purity,
Stupid.

Super stupid read my message proper, I wrote before 99,99% is type 1 monobenzone which was used in Irish mono creams !
I do not adore any company or whatever, but if the mono cream is 100% satisfied in PURITY results and it works for me, I won't have any bad word to say than. It's nothing to do with adoring, your knowledge seems limited as you are only talking about 1 type of mono, insted the 3 different types. Gain knowledge before acting and reponding stupid yourself !

Only the American ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Benoquin got approval from the FDA.
And guess what ICN Pharmaceuticals stopped making this drug, completely!
Which means, no more Benoquin for any Vitiligo patients, if you as a vitiligo patient need some, get a prescription for Powder and ask a legit compounding pharmacy
To make it for you..

Now try to Google "ICN Pharmaceuticals Benoquin"
You won't get any Pic of American ICN Pharmaceuticals Benoquin.
What you will get is MAC-SHIFA crap
Alongside with words like "skin whitening" "skin bleaching"
And some Indian lady's before & after fake pics.
You know what? Just type the words mac shiffa, you'll get monobenzone
THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS:
You will never see a legit & reliable company such as ICN promoting and Advertising drug like Benoquin, which made for Vitiligo skin disorder
That occurs only in 1% of the population (worldwide)
It's not worth the effort and it won't bring more money for them.
There are even vitiligo patients that don't know that there is something like monobenzone.

But these little facts don't bother MAC-SHIFA "company" to put fake Benoquin cream
As the company "face" and main product (like it was anti agining cream)
Again Vitiligo occurs only in 1% of the population worldwide! NOPE they don't mind to spent money on
Having a parties, press conference, Indian models, and a lot of Product Launch Parties
With a little bit help from the CEO: MR. PHOTOSHOP
Pictures of Monobenzone / Benoquin 20% 40% and 60% - Islamabad - Health - Beauty (http://islamabad.olx.com.pk/pictures/monobenzone-benoquin-20-40-and-60-iid-100879207)
wow even MJ associated with MAC-SHIFA!
If you ain't rich prince as I am.. well, Find yourself a job…
You Irish wannbe..

Sources.

I want sources for the racist comments, or they will be removed as hearsay.

Off-site contact is discouraged.

Can you not just quote your sources? Where the article was published, on what date, etc?

You are giving information now ONLY for Americans ! There are other countries except america, Correct ICN stopped in AMERICA with Benoquin, (Reason see mail further), Besides the FDA in America the Drug enforcement law (Shengen countries, EUROPE) is giving EUROPEAN companies approval. America does NOT need to give approval here in Europe !My friend in New York is ordering straight monobenzone powders and creams from Europe and does NOT need any prescription to receive it, EXPLAIN this !
It doesn't mean if America stopped manufacturing Benoquin that the rest of the world has ''fake'' benoquin products, seems you are an Amercan wannbe:p

As you described google the ICN pharmaceuticals Benoquin, correct ICN in America (California) Benoquin does not excist anymore, You will get ICN from a company in Europe (Mac-Shifa) this company is licensed here in Europe by the drug enforcement law / Health and Safety Board. Supported and sponsored by: AIG, Azivo Health insurances and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Just try to convince me now if a company in your view is selling crap, why is it licensed by the drug enforcement law in Europe, and coupled and sponsored by the Health insurance companies ( AIG and Azivo these are BIG companies) !
Even KLM is their sponsor.

ICN is doing great here in Europe, as your information regarding the world vitiligo population is 1% add another 1% on it, we are on the 2% (you are giving an information from 2 years ago:()

I'll agree with you ICN will never promote and advertise their products in America (one of the reasons that they stopped in America, marketing was bad).
ICN here in Europe is marketed and sponsored by different distributors, NOT coupled with the laboratory (except the headoffice Marketing department).

NOW: the big surprise WHY DID ICN stopped in the USA ????
You should know this Super Shallow !!!
In February 2004 there was a conference in Italy, regarding Benoquin / Monobenzone products, there was a professor / speaker telling the benefits of this product. This conference escalated in a debate with the health minister from the UK, he told OPENLY: ''what will happen with our white power if we will allow this drug on the market'' !!!:eek:
In other words all the black / dark skin complexions, will become white in comlexion so that everyone is EQUEL ??????
Short after this conference Benoquin / Monobenzone products started to be boycotted by: France, UK, Canada, Australia and Obviously America:rolleyes:
This issue was brought to the supreme court here in Europe, after 2 years (2006) proceeding courtcases Benoquin / Monobenzone products were found legal and SAFE to be continued on the pharmaceutical markets.

You are not a kid ''Super shallow'' to inform you that Benoquin / Monobenzone products are a part of a political racism.
mark the words: ''WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH OUR WHITE POWER IF WE WILL ALLOW BENOQUIN / MONOBENZONE PRODUCTS''

Seems you are against mono yourself, you must be a white guy as well.
I'm myself from Holland, but love to live with all cultures black or white it doesn't matter for me, we are all equel ! and it is NOT based on our skin complexions. Regarding Parties etc.... every company even our company (Revenue office) is celebrating parties for staff, what's wrong with that ?
Be happy in life, and allow others also to be happy.;)

LOL so much BS..

So tell us what chemical test you obtained for your mono? Whatever you are saying are lies, first of all monobenzone in all forms strength is depigementing agent, it does not come in any other forms as lightener. That the lies mac shifa been telling

So tell us what chemical test you obtained for your mono? Whatever you are saying are lies, first of all monobenzone in all forms strength is depigementing agent, it does not come in any other forms as lightener. That the lies mac shifa been telling, I think Dolice was told it was a lightener not a depigemnting agent.
Stop misleading others, I never said mac shifa stuff has mercury, in fact I was not sure if it was a legit company but now you prove to me is a scam, and only a daft person will believe you.

So tell us what chemical test was carried on your monobenzone cream, and anything else where is your prove?
It is so legit company selling benoquin as lightener!!

Sara, you never answered my question, I asked you if we could go on this journey together and you totally ignored me, But I see your replying to everyone else but me why? I just wanted to be friends

Okay--so you're telling me that a racist comment made by a UK official in Italy was ONLY published, in Dutch, in a small pamphlet that was ONLY distributed in Holland? And that this was NEVER picked up by the AP, or any other major news group?

I can find NOTHING on this racist comment ANYWHERE. Granted, I cannot read Dutch, so that limits me.

But I cannot imagine that someone in high standing in a government making a TRULY racist comment like that would not be news everywhere---or at least talked about on the internet. Again, I can find ZERO mention of this ANYWHERE.

The words ''what will happen to our white power'' was used by the media here in WHOLE europe, NOT only here in Holland, it was on the TV channel as well, This was a big issue Minister Liam Donaldson (Health in 2004), had to appologize for his misbehaviour.
What do you mean that you cannot imagine a high standing in a governement is making racist comments ??? Were the hell do you live ??? Ever heard about Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders,??? political HIGH class ministers here in Holland OPENLY making racist comments !

No... what I said was that I cannot imagine that a high standing government official making racist comments would NOT make the news. Politicians say stupid things all the time. But I could NOT find reference to that direct quote ANYWHERE. Nor could I find reference to the specific incident you were talking about.

Since I cannot read Dutch, your reference didn't help me, unfortunately.

And funny---I can find NOTHING on Liam Donaldson to link him to racist comments ANYWHERE.

I sincerely doubt that you have your facts straight.

Sara, you never answered my question, I asked you if we could go on this journey together and you totally ignored me, But I see your replying to everyone else but me why?? I just wanted to be friends

You didn’t ask me a question that I ignored you asked for my source , it is against the forum rules.

Oh man.. its just hilarious

Sara read the forum I already wrote it down, (the mono sample which I received from Ireland) was tested and the COA has proven that the mono is genuine. The sample was tested by the laboratory of our neigbour (works for Bayer Pharma chemicals), Mono was analyzed through the ''Schotel destilatie keten ontbinding'' this is a way to analayse EVERY pharmaceutical product (used even by the forensic laboratory). So, please don't tell me here that you have your doubts as I searched for 3 years for REAL mono and was ripped and cheated by several sites and fake sellers.:mad: Just tell me one thing how can you expain me as I got evenly lighter in skin complexion with mono (ICN) from Ireland, Your knowledge seems to be stucked with the ID that Mono. only depigments !!! Science is going on and I believe the ready made mono from Ireland (contains castor oil, Almond oil) as well they are lightening the skin complexion. (your over over grandparents never believed in rockets to the moon, well see it yourself now), even mono is used in skinlighteners nowadays ! were is the proof that mono only depigments? Sarah, even scientist doesn't know the excact working of mono, but believe it or not lightening with mono is already there, and as far as I heard mono soaps, mono lotions are on the market as well.
(I did not try that before, but it is there).
The results found in the test of the mono in Ireland is:
C13H12O2 (this is the molecul formula of Mono as well) assay found in the mono was 98,81%
next to the mono. almond oil, castor oil, safron, white wax, cetyl alcohol, etc.......... were found.
I just want to make a point clear here, America is NOT the only country were mono was manufactured, there are other countries as well, BUT be aware for scammers. Sara just a question as MJ2006 reported here on this forum that Mono can be used for bombs (terrorist activities), were the hell did he based that on, proof that to me, only a daft person will believe that !:D
and to be honest I really don't care were you are buying your Mono, keep struggling to find a relaible seller::p
Cheers: Jolanda

Lol you are funny, so you think you can just write few chemistry wrords to show your knowledge. I would not even waste my time anymore but just to point out a fact for you in your results that you obtained you told me they found Molecular Formula C13H12O2? And then you are saying “(this is the molecul formula of Mono as well) assay found in the mono was 98,81%
Next to the mono. Almond oil, castor oil, safron, white wax, cetyl alcohol, etc... were found.”
Now chemistry is great tool, to find what is in a compound, the C13H12O2 is for only the pure mono powder, as soon as you add another ingredients the structure will change so it will not stay with 13 carbon.

And the test ''Schotel destilatie keten ontbinding'' what is it in English?

Mono is a depigementer not a lightener stop fooling people, god knows what you are using, and please the mechanism of action of mono not known i.e how exactly it works, what is the chemical reaction that occurs not known but scientists know for fact it will depigement it will NOT be even.

Yes, I'm searching for a link.

I realize that racism happens all over the place--and not JUST from whites against other races.

I am not giving you my email address.

And no--I don't just believe what people say about other people without proof. If I did, I'd be pretty stupid, wouldn't I?

I'm simply saying that I can find NO evidence--zero, nada, zip--that the person you claimed made that statement about "white power" ever said any such thing--nor did he resign after having to apologize for saying it (probably because he didn't say it).

So--either list the ACCURATE details of the news story, a story that would be "all over Europe"--or please believe that I see your pamphlet as nothing more than propaganda.

If a high ranking official DID say that, it would be all OVER the place. Not just in one little pamphlet.

Why in the WORLD would I give you my email address, much less open an attachment from a stranger? I was born at night, but not LAST night.

I can't find ANYTHING about him making a racist comment. I spent 1/2 an hour looking through old news articles and pretty much read far too much about the swine flu virus--but NOTHING about racist comments.

Since you say it was all over the place in the news, you should be able to link a reputable newspaper's story about it NO PROBLEM.

If YOU can't list a source other than the one you want me to upload to my computer, why should *I* keep looking for it?

Now you are just being argumentative, and hijacking this thread.

Actually--yes I DO think that major news stories from reputable agencies are all on the web.

I'm not afraid of you raping me--or even of you harassing or stalking me. I am, however, cautious and suspicious. You may SAY you are one thing on the internet, but you can't prove it. Neither can I. That's the scary and wonderful thing about the internet. HOWEVER--opening an email from someone you don't trust is just STUPID--and OSTRITCH behaviour that perpetuates multiple viruses and malware. I don't think you'll rape me, silly. I think you'll infect me with a virus.

So... you believe something that you have only one source for, and it's a source that none of the rest of us have heard of? Would you like to see my ownership papers for London Bridge, while we're at it?

YOU make the claim--the burden of proof is on you. Since you can offer no proof other than a pamphlet that I cannot get except through you, in another language--I find your sources to be completely refutable.

I'm well aware that there are more sources than just the internet. However---MOST reputable sources are at least linked to the internet in some way. Do I have time to go to the library, look up your publication, get it translated, etc? Not on your life do I have that sort of time. The internet is a time-saving device, and the point is that you cannot point to a SINGLE other source. Not one. You can't tell me of another journal or news source that has the same story.

Know what? There's a publication in my neighborhood that prints all sorts of articles in it. Most of the articles are written by other people in the neighborhood, and contain great information. Does that mean I use that little newspaper for ALL of my sources? Nope. That little newspaper isn't even on the internet.

I know how to do research--I work at a college, for heaven's sake. I'm just not going to do YOUR research for you.

Not everyone is racist, you know.

/sigh

I don't care one way or another what people do to themselves, as long as they admit that it was their own damned fault when it doesn't work out the way they wanted it to--instead of running "waaaah! I need to sue! This company or that product or whatever didn't make me happy! Waaaaah!" And wasting the time of the courts and the taxpayers' money.

I'm a Caucasian female myself, by the way.

I'm not hiding from the evidence. Are you saying that Europe doesn't have news sources on the internet? I mean, the BBC didn't have anything about that situation, either. I looked. And frankly--I use the BBC for a lot of my world news, because I understand that American news isn't that great for what's going on in the rest of the world. But I can't find ANYTHING. Not one iota of news about this.

Oh... and I'll try to scan my ownership papers to London Bridge this afternoon. I have to make them up first ;)
