Im just so tired of buying skin lightening products that I have to keep using over and over! I just want to use something that will give me gorgeous light skin so for mono users I have questions and please answer!

1- Is it true that mono will only turn you white and no other color?
According to the description of mono its says that once you achieve the skin color you wanted, all you have to do is use mono once or twice a week. That description is used for damn near every skin lightener so that doesn't mean it will turn you white.

2- I hear its not for dark skinned people. Im not dark skin I'm like a medium brown color and I do have an uneven skin tone(dark in some areas very light in others) so will this work for me?

3- If I stop using it, will I continue you to depig?


4- Does it automatically turn you white? What I'm asking you is, do the color of you skin fade? For example does it go from brown to yellow to white or does it go from brown to white?

I really appreciate all you answers

1. Mono eventually depigs your skin. This means STRIPPING AWAY THE PIGMENT.

2. If mono wasn't for "dark skinned people", Michael Jackson wouldn't have used it (yes, that's what he used--benoquin).

3. Use it and don't stop using it. If you put lotion on your skin, do you think it will be moirsturized for life just because you used it once today? No, it's called maintenance.

4. You may get some white spots, but the skin color usually fades into lighter and lighter.

Good luck. :)

thanks vicky d! are using mono?

Yes I am using mono (powder with lotion and ethyl alcohol) and my skin is peeling in certain places and revealing a much lighter color. I have not used it on my face yet. I also have white spots in some places but this doesn't matter because the white spots are peeling revealing bigger whiter areas--not just isolated spots.

Ok so what color was your complexion before using mono?

Lol no, listen.

I am Janet Jackson's complexion.

My skin is in the peeling process right now, so some areas are looking red, and brighter/clearer.

Some other areas of my skin are actually peeling to a white/light cream color with pinkish undertones, like... I don't know, someone's tan line or something.

So I don't have overall lightened skin yet. I've only been using it for about two months, so it's in the peeling proecss, and eventually will get even more light. But I have noticed so far that my hands look so much brighter and smoother than before. And my neck is peeling and turning redder/brighter.

I'm at 20%, and basically I wouldn't mind if my skin color were high yellow or even white. I just want an overall lighter skin tone, a few shades at least.

Hi Vicky,

What portions are you using for the mono powder, lotion, and ethyl alcohol? Also what type of lotion are you using and is ethanol from Walgreen's OK to use?

I am thinking of compounding a 40 gram cream. I am able to get the monobenzone powder from a company in California. I am just wondering how you're combining the three ingredients? Are you dissolving the mono powder in the ethyl alcohol first and then adding it to the lotion?

Your answer is much appreciated.

Well Girsl I Decided Not To Use Mono Lol Instead Im Going To Use

Benzylarbutin.


My Coworker Went On Vacation And She Was Gone For Like 2 Months.
She Came Back Today And She Was So Light And It Looked Natural And So Even.

She's Indian And She Was Very Dark And I'll Admit She Didn't Look Attractive At All Lol And Im Not Gay.

But Now She Is Feirce!! She Looks Gorgeous! Homegirl Is Serving!! She Looks So Pretty And The Jealous Girls Started Talking About Her Behind Her Back Like A Dog! But I Didn't Because I Knew What She Was Going Through.

She Barely Smiled Before Her Transformation But Now She Smiling Like There's No Tomorrow Lol She Look So Pretty You

She Went From Dark Brown To High Yellow In 2 Months.

After Shift Was Over I Walked To Her And Asked What She Used And She Told Me Benzylarbutin And Were To Get It From.

So That's What Im Going To Use.

Weezing, I'm glad that you are going to be using Ba. I always wanted to know if I used it. I bought the 5% but I felt like it did do much. Are you going to use the powder or bottles. Where are you going to buy it from... oh please let me know.

I don't blame you for sticking with BA weezing... quote mono depigmentation is attempted on normal non-vitiligo skin: initially beautiful depigmentation, followed by spontaneous repigmentation refractory even to monobenzone with chemical peels

Well I used a 4oz bottle of whitening lotion (from the diana stalder products) and I used it all over my body and it last a long time for me lol so it might not be big to some but its big to me lol

And yes that is the correct website. I don't think they sell anywhere else but keep this a secret girl because I don't want a bunch of people buying because that's a recipe for disaster

Exactly, herbalinn/"benzylarbutin" is nothing new at all. It's actually been around for years I think, and people on this forum as well as other forums all know about it.

It's just that people on this forum don't talk about it because it's always dismissed as a fraud. Most people acknowledge that "benzylarbutin" is a made up/fake ingredient, and that no one else has ever done research on this, but some obscure website called "herbalinn". No scientists, no one. And no one else sells it of course.

And also so many people have said that it doesn't work at all. Others have said that it does. So, who knows what's right/wrong about herbalinn. I'm just waiting for someone to show some real proof that it's worked--and not just pictures with weird lighting etc.

Lol it's NOT a secret. Practically EVERYONE in the online skin lightening community knows about herbalinn.

Depig.forumup.com is an entire forum dedicated to talking about herbalinn and other skin lightening methods.

I just wish there was another source for buying ba. I was searching for it and inquiried a chinese company who sold mono and arbutin(I think) and they said they had BA but I don't know. I a lot of people have been saying if they get it from another place than herbalinn it's usually a scam... plus your give them money by money gram... I don't think so. What you think?

Hey, about BA... you know its only the extracted part of arbutin... and that the chemical name BA doesn't exist on the internet... it is just made from a couple of places, and they made this name for it... but really it is just normal arbutin... and you can buy the powder from a few places... and I know K-S pharm specializes in it, and STAY AWAY from them... all their stuff is mixed with other things and is very dangerous. There are a couple of places in America that sell arbutin powder... or you could all just buy the actual bearberry extract which arbutin comes from and take that orally... it comes in capsule or tablet form...

RedDiamond
Jul 14, 2008, 09:11 PM
So you think it's just another form of arbutin.. It kind of makes sense.

mj2006

So you think it's just another form of arbutin.....? It kind of makes sense.

Yeah, it is just the extract of it... so you are better just going for the actual arbutin... but bearberry is arbutin... so even just buying the capsules at the chemist or health food shop, would do just fine.. and you could even take the herb powder out of the capsules and mix it into cream or something and apply it to your skin, if you don't want to take it orally..

I am taking the capsules at the moment... bearberry(uva ursi) and yellow dock ( of what Tyrostat comes from ) .

THank you so much. I was thinking about trying ba but its so expensive for that little biy. My mom o didn't cost that much. I'm going to see if I can find some. I found it funnu that herbalinn is the only place that sells that stuff but it says it a form of arbutin and bearbearry.

I was wondering, since you give good advice, what kind of soap should I use to exfloitate my skin? Any one inperticular? I am running out of one I have but it has hq in it and I am trying to stay away from this time! If I am not mistaken, your using mono? Do you find your skin is always peeling? I am in that stage right now? I get lighter, then darker, face peels, then I am lighter than before.

Yes I am using mono, and I'm at the snake skin stage.. skin is scaly and peeling a bit... the worst part of all!
I find exfoliating the worst thing for this process as it just makes the skin much tighter... soft... but very very tight! I use apricot scrub, and also an exfoliation towel from the body shop... so you can put whatever soap you desire on it and then foam it up on the towel and scrub all you like, or till you can take it anymore... I have stopped exfoliating my face, because it is just making things worse, so I am just applying moisturizer a lot through the day... just to help the cracking of the skin... so it is not as painful...

Also here is another place that sells arbutin powder Alpha-Arbutin Powder 99.5% / 5 gr (http://www.gardenofwisdom.com/catalog/item/4073723/4781301.htm)
I have never bought from them... but just did a bit of research as to who else sells it... and this one is in america..

Aurbutin powder isn't even expensive really I have seen a site that sells lots of actives... once you know about ingredients and what works and doesn't work for you I think it maybe a lot better mixing these things up yourself... at least you know what's in it I think that's why I'm hesitant to order from herbalinn I really like knowing what I'm putting on my skin

Gardern wisdom is where I have ordered my HQ from

Yeah, I wish I were more of a chemical person. I could just buy raw Arbutin and mix it into Alpha/Benzyl-Arbutin. Arbutin itself isn't that strong for lightening.

This may be a much better option compounding your own stuff I'm sure BA doesn't have anything special in it that we couldn't make ourselves

I really appreciate all you answers
I got the cream and its hard as hell to get it. It works and I does not turn your skin white unless you want it to. It does not create spots either but it does permanently change your color unless you go in the sun often and tan back to your original color. I have some but its going to cost you and its expensive but not in the hundreds. [email protected] hit me up
