I know that a lot of you are using monobenzone or compteplating on using it. Well I'm hear to tell you that after 1yr. Of monobenzone use my skin became disfigured. My arms, face, legs, cheast . Is patch work of pink, brown, large patchess. And I've been going to dermatologist about it and they say that the damage is irreversable. I just don't know what to do.

It started good for a while about 7mos. Then at the 8th month I noticed patches that were pink like a raw pink on the sides of my face inner thighs arms. And they were so sore. And my skin just kept peeling, peeling, so then after the pain subsided then that very raw red area became darken . And a ver noticeable darkening.

I'm so damn sorry and regret using monobenzone. My only hope now is to find a plastic surgeon that can hopefully fix my skin back.

I just don't know what to do. I just don't know. And that a lot of money that I invested in a product that I thought was going to lighten me but only damage my skin badly.

Thought I share for those before it becomes to late

Thanks.. I will stop using mono now

thanks.. i will stop using mono now

Sorry I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. But you just don't know how hurt I'am. You just don't know. I was pretty but I wanted to be prettier. And I just wish I never used it. But I heard about the results that others were having using monobenzone so I gave it I try too.
Why did I do it? Why? What am I'm going to do?? Plastic surgery is so much money. Money that I really don't have. But I got to do something? I'm totally disfigured. What will I do? Raw pink and dark skin I hate I ever messe with that stuff. I'm in a bad shape.MY nerves are shot.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I'm very sorry to hear about what happened and lets hope members will think twice before using monobenzone. Especially the high strength one (20%).

My friend 20% should never be thinked about, it's a result of imprecise research, gloomy am not trying to hurt you but yo would have researched on web more, gone little deep inside the medicine on web and not just would have dependent on this forum, here are people not experts, people like us and I don't think people who are now white have ever used 20%, that is poorly bad research

To all people here, consider your dermetalogist help, pamper him/her, he will give you hints about whitening taking monobenzone, mequinol and arbutin, there are secrets in medicine but they don't tell you, yes I will think 100 times taking even a drop of these chemicals but don't forget its medicine and there are ways of lightening, I know it as I have heard insiders in bollywood saying some big actress have used chemicals to en their skin, see their before and after pics

Personally, I would never use monobenzone as it's really for patients suffering from vitiligo. There are alternatives out there. Such as arbutin, kojic acid and so on.

People without virtiligo are not supposed to use mono! That is the first thing you see when you Google search it, unless you want to disfigure yourself. I hope all those people who are talking of using it read this and learn from it. My friends sister used it too and she has pink patches all over her body and face. It is not worth it!

It's not worth it. It's going to cost anywhere from $15,000-$25,00 to fix my disfigurement of my body. And I have to go to New York to get the surgery done. And even then I was told by the doctor that it won't be completely back to normal. I'm currenlty trying to get the money . That's a lot of money along with the travel expense to get there. Oh my god I should'nt never messed with that stuff. Listening to other folks. But I can only blame myself.

I used to be pretty but not anymore. You just don't know how I feel.

Gloomy if you don't mind me asking but can you share with us your before and after pics so that all (including myself) don't even now think of using that hazardous chemical, only if you wish

gloomy if you dont mind me asking but can you share with us your before and after pics so that all (including myself) dont even now think of using that hazardous chemical, only if you wish

NO! I'M NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL SHARING THAT HIDIOUS SIGHT. I don't want you all to see me. I'm embarrassed, and ashamed of my looks and myself. NO, NO, NO.

Its OK and don't worry all will be fine, after all we can't get all we want, its our destiny any we can never change it

Gloomy do you think mono 3% or 2% will do the same?

Hi, gloomy123, monobenzone_attention,mona4white; I am a intertested monobenzone info seeker, looking forward to lighting my skin but very unsure about using monobenzone after hearing your storys.
Please tell me the alternative chemical that is closet to the results of mono but less harmful affect.
I heard of L-glu,Vit-C, Biol ca-lotion, and mono, which one give best results with less side affects.
Is there anyone who's willing to share this imformation, if so I look forward to talking

Hey brown skin..

I do not believe in pills.. I tried l-gluta.. it was just a waste and not worth it at all..

If you want to lighten your skin.. you have to use a chemical.. that's a fact..

Natural stuff won't be permanent.. but I can't recommend a product..

thanks.. i will stop using mono now
I think this situation with mono could be true too. Are you really going to stop using it, if so would you share your other altervatives that your considering using.]
I have so in mined but I not sure.
However, Do you think gloomy123 may have used a very high doage of mono to cause this affect. I' going to ask ?
Look forward to talking

hey brown skin..

i do not believe in pills..i tried l-gluta.. it was just a waste and not worth it at all..

natural stuff won't be permanent.. but i can't recommend a product..
How about hydroquinone?

Its weird.. there are people who made good experiences with mono.. and some don't.. it is a risky thing..

I can see that my skin is lightening.. my skin would be almost white if I go 2-3 shades lighter..

I would never use mono 1 year.. that's pathetic if you don't want to be completely depigged...

White skin looks super ugly to me..

Look at the picture I posted.. the guy on the pic used it 82 or 83 only.. his skin would look flawless without vit..

82 days are 11 weeks.. I give mono a try again.. and stop after 82 days

Gluta pills do not work. Vitamin C helps brighten the skin and makes it healthy.
Bio Claire is good (I'm currently using it). It contains kojic acid and arbutin.
Arbutin is a good alternative to monobenzone. It comes in many forms, cremes or even powder.
If you want to use monobenzone, then please only use a weaker strength. Remember, monobenozone depigments the skin and some do not get the desired result so use at your own risk!
Personally I would steer clear from it.

Mequinol + tretnoin

The guy didn't need to use more than 82-83 days as his skin will not make melanin and melanocytes and did you confirm how much of percentage he used

I think 2-3% of mono, mequinol, arbutin are good alternatives to skin whitening and Punkchic there are hundreds of products and chemicals to lighten our skin but they are just very time consuming, yes they will give you results, just mono are for people who are too greedy Skin whitening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_whitening)

Oh my gawd... im scared now! Mono_attn, what have u decided about using mono or not? Also, what % have you been using? Please reply.

Yes there are many products out there but I was stating the most popular.

Brownskin.
Hydroquinone is proven to be an effective ingredient but also the most controversial.

Hey, I just want to say thanks for responding. I'm going to class right now but I going to send you a private message because I am interested in a low doage of mono(10%).
Is this a good idea if so I need a few other pointers.
I will be in touch. Look forward to talking

Its not about using 1 year or 2yrs or 6 months, its about defecating your skin to same colour, if you didn't had blotches, and had the desired colour, its OK to use any period but personally I'll think more than 100 times plus take advices from my dermatologist even for takeing arbutin (benzyl-arbutin, the second biggest drug used for vitiligo depigmentation)

Mono_attn I am going to pm you today, please check later... I want to send you a pic to show my skin color and tell me if I would be OK to continue with mono...

Monobenzone is an ether of hydroquinone and in the case of hydroquinone also, you can't use it for more than 3-4 months I think, you would have to stop as its very painful and the results are also temporary, use hydroquinone+tretinone if you wanu use, ask your dermatalogist you wanu lighten scar or age spots and he'l prescribe you (not dangerous as mono)

Gluta pills do not work. Vitamin C helps brighten the skin and makes it healthy.
Bio Claire is good (I'm currently using it). It contains kojic acid and arbutin.

How is Bio claire working for you and how can I get more information
Look forward to talking

oh my gawd...im scared now! mono_attn, what have u decided about using mono or not? also, what % have you been using? please reply.
Don't be up set, are you using a low doage. If so how is it coming along. Please respond
The more info the better we can communicate

Pleased to meet you too! :)

I have not used monobenzone as it is for patients with vitiligo. I would not advise anyone to use it. But if they want to then they'll be using it at their own risk as the results can vary from person to person. But then it is like that with most skin lightening products. However with monobenzone, the results are irreversible. Remember gloomy's results?

As you only want to lighten up a few shades then you're in good luck. Many products out there can help you achieve the result you want. Products containing kojic acid and arbutin are quite effective.
Bio Claire contains those 2 ingredients and is lightening up my uneven skin gradually. Many people have had good results with Bio Claire. But then results vary as everyone's skin is different so it might not work for you.
Try Bio Claire and see how it goes. It's inexpensive too.

There's also Diana Stalder. Some members on the forum have achieved good results from using it. That also contains kojic acid.

Remember, when thinking about buying any product, look at the ingredients, and research about them. See if they're effective, safe and so on.

Good luck!

:)

Mono-attention, what % of mono are you using, how long have you been using it? Do you like your results so far?

Mono-attention, what strangty are you using, and for how long? Are you liking your results so far?

Brown skin are you really that desperate? Why would you want to use mono when gloomy and punkchic have just told you how dangerous it is? Do you want to end up like gloomy?

So people just don't care about the risk you know? I was one of them now I'm hidious and disfigured. Because I wanted to be lighter. And now I'm paying the price for vanity reasons. But I will tell you this use it... then wind up in the same boat as me, crying like I do all the now, shame and embarrassed. Then you'll know how I feel.

I feel very sorry for you gloomy123.. very social of you that you informed other people about your experiences with mono..

Using monobenzone is a gradual thing for me.. so far no blotches or anything.. but I would never use such a strong drug 1 year..

I can see lightening.. I am pleased with the result.. but I would never use that for 1 year though

monobenzone_attention, what strength mono are you using, and how much have you lightened?

I have NO experiences with Monobenzone.
Monobenzone is for patients suffering from vitiligo. If it was OK for normal people to use this for lightening skin a few shades then it wouldn't say it is ONLY for people for vitiligo. Why else do you think monobenzone is not widely available???

If you want to use it then go ahead. But you are putting yourself at risk.

You probably used it wrong (if you actually even had real monobenzone or benoquin cream).

You need to know HOW to apply monobenzone--WHEN to apply it and what to properly mix it with.

Things will never be perfect but you shouldn't be disfiguring yourself completely if you are doing anything right.

Use at your own risk folks but don't f**k yourself up in the process.

Hi gloomy, how are you disfigured? Do you have vitiligo now? Is that what you mean by disfigured? Because you can always go all the way and depig like people with extensive Vitiligo.
Sorry for what you're going through, wish you all the best

Hi gloomy123,there is this african soap call dudu osun black soap.try it and it will reverse all the skin damage caused by the skin bleaching product you mentioned.get more information if you like from Shea Butter, Dudu-Osun African Black Soap, and Many More: The African Store (http://www.theafricanstore.org) and your skin will be restored.the damage is reversible and I think your dermatologists just don't know what to prescribe for you.this african black soap is made from natural products and helps to heal any damage caused by excessive skin bleaching and even up your complexion nicely.been using it and I have a very beautiful soft and smooth complexion and it has lightened me up to 2 shades.just try it and tell us your experience.you can also buy it from Natural Beauty Products (http://www.afrikanrepublic.com.) luck and don't worry

What do you guyz think 3% monobenzone will do?

It will damage your skin like it did to gloomy.please be careful because it's only used to treat vitiligo.you can try other skin lighteners.they are all temporary but some are effective and safe.permanently changing your skin color is not the best idea.you may end up regreting your actions.

First of all, I would like to ask gloomy about her condition. Exactly what is a plastic surgeon supposed to do for you? I cannot understand how a plastic surgeon would be able to fix a discoloration problem. Plastic surgeons cut and sew you back together. What kind of damage do you have that you would need a plastic surgeon?

For all interested, I have used monobenzone. It was benoquin 20%. It was the real thing, because I used to buy it from a Canadian pharmacy. It was expensive, so I only managed to buy a couple of tubes. I had positive experiences with it. My skin is naturally white though. I only wanted to lighten my neck, which had a light tan after years of living in the tropics. I wanted to lighten other places too, but only managed my neck because it is an expensive process. It lightened my neck enough to match the rest of me and then, I quit using it. I didn't have any rashes or loss of pigment anywhere else on my body. Also, I would like to know where gloomy was buying hers? What was your source for Mono? The Canadian pharmacies no longer sell it.

Some DO get good results with using monobenzone and some don't. It's risky.

Mono_attention, I remember in your first posts you talked about mono like gloomy, what happened to you from using mono that made you warn people from it and what made you changed your mind to use it again?

Yeah.. I received some blurry spots on my throat.. I stopped applying mono to this area.. and they faded away..

After that I decided to use other ingredients to make my cream... I don't see any spots anymore.. so I think the causer was probably how I mixed my mono cream : /

Mono_att, this is one of your first posts
(I suffer from vit.. and I'm using mono..
Why are you so ignorant? I'm warning the people.. I want to help them! People always disappear when the started their mono journey.. I did not..
So if you have the opportunity.. go ahead and test it.. im using benoquin from my pharmacy..
I'm joined this message board with "monobenzone_attention" because it can harm you..
I'm speaking from the inside.. I'm not like: stop using skin lighteners.. stop thinking about lightening your skin..
The point is.. that mono counts as a drug.. and is actually not allowed to sell...
You can use natural products to lighten your skin.. but don't use mono.. )

And later you said you don't have vitiligo, just want to understand what is going on here, why you said first you had vitiligo and later you said you don't, may be what you went through gloomy is going through, just panic and exaggeration

I have vitiligo on my back.. that's the only part with vitiligo.. sometimes I forget that I suffer from vit.. because its on my back : / I does not spread anymore..

I used benoquin from my pharmacy.. but it is too expensive.. plus my dermatologist moved to another town..

So I bought mono powder to make my own cream

Gloomy, what was your original color?
When a person uses mono, inspection of the skin is very important. You don't turn patchy over night, I noticed some Places were getting lighter that others, I just stopped applying there and they're gone back to match the rest, so you have to pay attention to your skin, I just want to know was your skin ruined over night?

Hey, if your welling to share, did you get your mono from anil. Did you have trouble getting it and if so did you mix yourself

I live in Canada, I got mine from Anil

Muna, what % of mono did you get from Anil? I tried emailing him a while back, but I got a failure delivery notice in my email. Anyway, I'm getting so spooked by people saying mono gives disfiguring results. Don't know if you've read any of my previous postings but I ordered 3% monobenzone lotion from China. I was going to apply it to my feet only (as I always wear socks or stocking during the day) and let it travel up my upper body systemically. Retzay said that he started with 5-10% mono concentration and that he developed patches all over and is disfigured now. I'm waiting to hear back from him 'cause I suspect he applied mono directly to his face... Muna, I'm scared now... please tell me how you're doing with own mono experience...

Well, of course if you are scared, don't use it, the email is right
When you buy the powder it is 98%or 99% you will make your own percentage, I truly believe making your own cream from such a powerful Chemical is not a good idea, I mixed half of my powder wrong first just like any one says here, with cream and lemon in a blender for 5 to 6 minutes which is just b.s. of course you will see something but might not be the things you want to see, I have not used the powder long enough, but I saw some lightening after darkening first but then I stopped when I learned that mixing it that way is just stupid and naïve to think that you can dissolve that powder with lemon in a blender, and then I mixed a little with alcohol, the one intended for preparation and I saw results but then I got scared and thought the cream is the best way to go since I saw a difference after I dissolved it right, so stopped using the powder to start using the cream, like I said the cream is made in the lab for a reason, you don't want to go cheap on your skin, but still it is a personal decision, and you have to be very diligent with the percentage and do not go crazy with the application frequency, all the people here who used the powder got patches, some faint some severe.

Muna,

Thanks so much for responding!! You know, I almost ordered mequinol powder in desperation, but now that I read your message I'll stay the hell away from any powders. That was the same email address I used while trying to contact Anil! I mean, <[email protected]> and I entered "Mequinol - recommended by Vahid" in the subject line 'casue I didn't want him to think I was spam. I want a very low % mequinol before I experiment with mono but no one sales it in ready-made cream. I think that's why a lot of folks use the powders and end up messing up their skin!

Monobenzone is only allowed for patients suffering from Vitiligo. Why else do you think this stuff is hard to get hold of? It's not allowed for a reason; THE RISKS!!

So muna, you're using cream now? Where are you getting this from? What %?
Thanks

Look for creams in Chinese websites like tradekey, I am using 10% , I don't use it religiously, like multiple times in a day or a week.
You are right Punkchic, but there are a lot of products that are safe to use (like HQ) but you can not get them in American without a prescription, in Canada you can get HQ without a prescription, lots of things are all about regulations, not saying that everyone should us mono, I was just making a point
BTW Your signature is great

I also have to say even though I do not agree with using monobenzone, you have been using it responsibly by not using it religiously. That way less chance of disasters. :)

applebeee,sashimi,muna,mellowkat and SunshineNY, I'm in the same boat as all of you because I'm desperately trying to bleach my skin to my ultimate desire but I don't want this to turn out as mistake. SO GIRLS, I have been seriously thinking and doing research (HOMEWORK) on monobenzone V.S arbutin or(alpha arbutin). From my understanding they are both de-pigmenters but if a mistake suddenly happen, mono is a lot harder to reverse back to normal than arbutin. BELIEVE ME GUYS I WANT THIS DEAM TO BECOME TRUE JUST AS MUCH AS YOU but I welling to wait and do more research on the strongest drug (mono) BUT I am welling to try the second most powerful (arbutin).
GIRLS tell me if you agree,disagree,or just give advice, I won't get mad for any reason

I'm so sorry to hear that, upon researching Mono, I realized that its just for people suffering from vitiligo, so I decided to go for a lighter one. Mono is extreme, I would never think of using it to lighten my skin,. no... no... no!

Hi Brownskin.

I've been to many Dermatologist most of my life starting at age 13. I was diagnos with servere, cyst acne. This doctor would only put me on antibiotics. Later in life I was put on accutane to clear up my ance. It took a year to clear up. Once they were gone they never came back, not as servere anyway.

The only problem I was left with, was very dark acne marks on my face. My dermatalogist perscribe many different skin lighteners (sorry I can't remember the names of them) None of them work. I remember him saying he didn't want to put me on anything really strong because I'm African American and we don't tolerate skin lighteners to well. I also remember him telling me to use the cream on a small area of my body that's not noticeable to the public. I use it on a small area on my feet but never seen any results.

I would think we would all want to do the same thig right? You would use the mono everywhere on your body, not even your face at first use, right?

Gloomy123, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with mono. I feel for you. I also thank you for warning us about the effects. I only wish that you would tell me your ethnic back ground and how you mix your mono and with what?

I heard of some people getting overwhelm by their products and over doing it. Not saying you did. I've been mixing my own creams for ever and had some awful results with hydroquinone and other lighteners. I've burnt my skin and just recently to the point where I had to stay home from work for over a month until my skin healed. When I say burnt. I mean the creams did the opposite by making me darker than my original skin color. But this happen before and I know what to do about. I just stop using it.

When my skin is starting to look like it's going back to my original skin color. I don't buy from that same buyer because obviously she sold me some bad creams.. geesh I sound like a drugy or something huh, lol

I buy from various places. Some people will sell you real creams and some fake.

Be safe everyone!

OMG, I JUST CALLED HOME AND MY MONO IS IN!!

I'M SO EXCITED. I WANT TO LEAVE WORK EARLY JUST TO GO HOME AND TRY IT OUT. FORGET THE GYM TODAY! WOW SHIPPING WAS ONLY 10 DAYS! The seller told me it wold be 22 days from china to the usa hmmm...


I know this is a stupid question and idea but I'm going to ask anyway..

Well, I got to go. I will keep you all informed

Hi, if you are welling to share, I just want to know a couple things
PM me the answers if it makes you more comfortable
What company did you get mono from
How much percentage are you planning to use, I think the safest is 1-2%
How are you going to mix it? I have some pointer about mixing (lets see if we have the same idea):D

Ebay, 3% I mixed 2 tubes of mono creams with a half bottle of palmers lightener cream and 2 tablespoons of vit (e) oil. I'm going to order almond glow tonight and mix my other mono cream with it and use it on my face. I also use a soap my friend orders for me from nigeria. Which makes me light

Brownskin, Aplebeee, and Simply Jane,

Girls, I'm so comforted I'm not alone... we all want to depig, but not go entirely white... Brownskin and Aplebeee, you guys are black,r right? How about you, simply Jane? I'm Hispanic, so my skin might react a little differently, but I'm going to keep you guys posted on my progress. My plan is to apply the 3% mono on my feet only and let the baby work its way up, I know it sounds crazy, but I figure that's the safest way to go. Black skin is more sensitive and reactive, so my advice is that you guys apply to the feet only as well and keep them covered at all times. If you notice a spec of white, no matter how small, please stop immediately and consult with a dermatologist right away. I'll do the same. I think that's the only way to avoid the hideous side effects of this powerful drug. Also, I wanted to share with you that I ordered fallene total sunblock. Apparently, it shields all the UVA and UVB rays. I also bought a "drape" hat from coolibar, which sells clothes for sun protection. Let's declare war on unwanted melanine!!

I guess my prive e-mail are getting around. I'm the one who told a couple of people that I would use mono on my toe first. A few people have mention the same thing after I sent an email on this start with the toe thing..

AMAZING how the word gets around. I'm not upset but glad my idea is getting around wow!

Of course it's a great idea, a few months ago someone mentioned the same thing about applying mono on feet or toes, and see what happens and then go up

thanks.. i will stop using mono now
I'm sorry to hear about what happen to you I have got two brown marks on my top lip and have try all cremes for the last two years that as just made things worse so now I make sure I use a good sun protection and the marks are getting ligher on they own

NO!. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL SHARING THAT HIDIOUS SIGHT. I don't want you all to see me. I'm embarassed, and ashamed of my looks and myself. NO, NO, NO.
I'm sorry gloomy123 , but where you using mono or benequin? Or does it matter.glad that you care enough to share even in your pain you tried to help others

I know that a lot of you are using monobenzone or compteplating on using it. well i'm hear to tell you that after 1yr. of monobenzone use my skin became disfigured. my arms, face, legs, cheast . is patch work of pink, brown, large patchess. and i've been going to dermatologist about it and they say that the the damage is irreversable. I just don't know what to do.

It started off good for a while about 7mos. then at the 8th month i noticed patches that were pink like a raw pink on the sides of my face inner thighs arms. and they were so sore. and my skin just kept peeling, peeling, so then after the pain subsided then that very raw red area became darken . And a ver noticeable darkening.

i'm so damn sorry and regret using monobenzone. my only hope now is to find a plastic surgeon that can hopefully fix my skin back.

I just don't know what to do. I just don't know. and that a lot of money that i invested in a product that i thought was going to lighten me but only damage my skin badly.

thought i share for those before it becomes to late
Gloomy123 as I stated before I feel for you. I'm I asking too much for you to show me a picture of what you skin looks like, the damage that mono caused you?

Thank you,
Marie

WOW gloomy123 I'm sorry you have to go through something like this... You sound so hurt, and I would be too. I was thinking about trying some saop substances just to lighten my face 1, 0r 2 shades to bring back my skin tone when I was younger, but from hearing all these stories I think I'm just going to live and love the skin I have now. Thanks for telling your story though, you changed my mind on ANY lightening or whitening products. Keep hope alive though, you'll find something or somebody who can help you out with your situation.

Hi

In my theory gloomy mixed her monobenzone with something that caused her skin to mess up, because like she said she was OK for about a year ,then it started getting patchy. Within that year her skin was nice and lovely, but she wanted to be pale white .I don't use monobenzone anymore either, but dud du du osun african soap is great, its designed specifically for it since in nigeria, africa, and in many caribbean countries women use bleaching products as a daily skin regime. Gloomy you can become pretty again just have faith, it was a trial an error situation. Our skin and hair is our glory ladies, so gloomy I can imagine how you feel. I have had bad skin almost all my life off and on until I found what works for me.

Sweetaroma, what website you go to to buy the dud du du osun african soap, is it like papaya soap?

Hi shermeetava

You can also go to an african store if you have a african community nearby. But here is the link Dudu-Osun African Black Soap: The African Store. (http://www.theafricanstore.org/shop/dudu-osun_african_black_soap.html)

I don't know if it's like papaya soap I never used it. I know du du osun is designed to treat skin problemed skin, when you first use it use it sparingly please. I deal with a lot of africans so I have seen the before and after use with this soap. Also that ghana black soap is good these are all natural soaps, some people sell fake but I suggest shop at a african owned store or an online african store. Oh shea butter is good too for marks and stuff, these are all on this site just click on the link.

So people just don't care about the risk you know? I was one of them now I'm hidious and disfigured. Because I wanted to be lighter. And now I'm paying the price for vanity reasons. But I will tell you this use it... then wind up in the same boat as me, crying like I do all the now, shame and embarrassed. Then you'll know how I feel.

The opposite happened to me.. I was fair and I wanted to be golden stayed in the sun for ages and became so dark. Now the dark colour just won't go, I feel ugly now and am using a lightening product to get bak to my original colour. I can't begin to imagine how you feel, because I already know the pain of having something and ruining yourself only to want what you had in the first place.. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Wow. Pinoys are really obsessed with getting white. Someone had a terrible experience with mono and others are still hot about putting it on their skin. The moment you look like a dalmatian you'll long for the skin you've had before.

And guess what? The reason why caucasians age faster than any other race on the planet is because they produce little melanin. Don't destroy the melanocytes that maybe your ticket to looking young later on... especially if you live in a tropical country.

Hello ladies, I'm faye and I was reading about mixing the two together , try it on your body first and then let us know right now I'm using 20% benoquin and so far nothing is happening help[ some one and tell us about the soap from nigeria and how can we get some PLEASE

hello ladies, im faye and i was reading about mixing the two together , try it on your body first and then let us know right now im using 20% benoquin and so far nothing is happening help[ some one and tell us about the soap from nigeria and how can we get some PLEASE

Sweetie, it is going to take MONTHS and MONTHS to see any results.

You have to be patient with that stuff.

Unless your benoquin is fake lol or a rip off.

Either way, patience pays.

Until then, get some kojic acid soap for a little (quick) brightening, maybe.

Thanks vicky d, I will try and find some here and yes I believe this benequin is fake its prescription but the company has went out of business and I am having a hard time trying to get it to absorbed in my skin I am only using it on the burn part not all over my face but its not going into my skin it sits on top any answers or suggestions . How can you tell if its fake
