I have never bought from him but I have heard that others members had in the past, cause I got scammed when I bought mono from asia initially. But do a Google search and see what pops up. Also you should know that mono is dangerous and you do not lighten on mono, you only depig complete and the skin turns white like MJ

All the old friends of this site who disappeared had bought from him. One of my friend had bought from him too. Based on my friend's result, it seems to work well for her. Unfortunately, my friend had moved after 4 months of mono usage and I lost contact with her. She got spots only on her feet after the two months of usage, but the spots enlarged and connected pretty well.
When she left, she was pretty happyed with the result and saying that all the spots almost connected. She was olive 5 when she started and she was about olive 3 when she left. Not mush lighter, but her skin tone was imporved a lot. I liked what I saw and that's why I started my mono journey after she left. Anil's mono seems to work, I think, because all buyers from him disappeared. This is what happened usually. People do NOT need to visit this site if all are fine and working well for them, including me. I don't come here often.

I do not get my mono from him because one of my best friend owns a chemical lab and I get mine from him. I started last year in October, but I got irritation from mono and had to stop for a while then restarted with a very low % then slowly increased the %. I am now only 2-3 weeks old mono user and do not have a distict result yet. I am just happy that I can use it without irritation. Will see how it goes. Hope that help.

bananahamak, please be sure that you use a recipe to mix the mono according to your skin type. If you have not used mono in the past, please start with a low % for a couple of weeks then increse the % slowly, for example, 5%, 10%, 15% then 20%. Also, use it only once a day to start with then increase to twice a day. Watch your skin on how it reacts/changes with mono usage. You can ajdust you recipe and usage to the best for your skin if you're careful. "START SLOW" is the best suggestion since mono is not a "ONE-SIZE-FIT-ALL" solution. Gook luck on your mono jurney.

Make sure Anil's mono is pure and mix it with a good recipe that is good for your skin. Then use it based on how your skin can take it to it's best. Be happy and healthy (do exercises, eat healthy food, and rest well). If mono is not meant for you, you still have other choises. Just read from this site. Again, Be happy and healthy.

I also totally agree with lighter... be very careful with mono...

Lighter,I want to ask you some questions in private,but I can't send you a pm I think because I'm still new here? I'm thinking of using a high concentration of hydroquinone instead of mono.

Hey guys,
For those of you who are using a ready made monobenzone cream or make their own can you roughly tell me how mush of it you use a day? How long would a 60ml cream last if you apply it twice daily on your entire body (I suppose that is what the majority of us are doin; twice daily and all over the body?)?

Thanks so much for stopping in to let us all know how your mono process is going..
Cannot wait to get my powder soon...

OK update... I received anil's mono powder today, it is an off white crystaline powder, but no flakes? Is mono powder supposed to be crystaline flakes( like salt flakes )? Or a smooth crystaline powder?

I mixed some of the powder into a cream of mine and I used a spoon to mix it together and that worked fine, I didn't have to use a blender or anything...

Anyway will send it away for testing soon...

Hope its real mono...


Anyway comparing how the powder is in the cream I have and to what I got from 7unite cream, there was like chunks of this flakey stuff in the 7unite cream and so I thought that must have been what mono looks like, but when I got the powder today from anil... its all fine crystaline powder... so will check it all out and let you all know...

Jun 3, 2009, 07:21 PM
Ok small update... I couldn't wait to test it, so I have started using the powder before I'm testing it... because I wanted to try a higher strength straight away and see the difference... anyway I stopped using the fair and glow stuff yesterday and applied anil's powder in my own cream, I made it 50 percent, just to see what would happen... and OUCH!!
I had to quickly jump in the shower and run it cold as it burned the hell out of my skin... now is that a good sign that its mono? Lol I don't know... but anyway, I made it 40 percent and applied it and it was very difficult to rub it right in... not because it had flakes... but because it made my cream like a paste, I'm not sure why it does that... anyway I had to rub the cream in for ages and then I put on another cream that had alcohol in it to help the absorption, so I could feel tingling and burning sensations all over my body from where I applied it and even a cooling feeling in some parts also... but of course around the eye area and face/neck are the worst...
No lightening yet though... which annoyed me, as when I put the fair and glow cream on, each day it would at least make me a little lighter in some parts of my body... but the cream I made isn't changing anything, even with the 40 percent that I applied... I really thought it would do something, as I have been using the mono fair and glow stuff for nearly 3 weeks now I think and it was working everyday, even if it made me tanned, then light, then tanned and so on...

Anyway I will give it 3 more days... if I can't see any change, I will stop using the anil mono and wait till I test it, I apparently have to send a sample interstate... and then I will just go back to the fair and glow stuff till it comes back with test results...

Is it true also that mono won't work unless you mix it properly? Like do you have to definitely put alcohol in it or something, so it absorbs right? Sorry to ask this question, I'm sure it has been asked a million times, but yeah if anyone really knows it would be great to know how to apply it properly... I emailed fair and glow to see what they put in their creams and to also ask about the lemon scent and they said they don't use any lemon scent and that they use mono in a cream base... But then, why does it smell like lemons? Does anyone else agree that it smells like lemons? Mono doesn't smell like that?

With receiving anil's mono... they took so long because the company that they used to send it, sent it back!! So he had to send it with another courier... and that worked and got here in 3 days which was good... He doesn't label it as mono or medical...

When I got the powder the first thing I wanted to do was smell it as to compare it to the powder I got from k-s pharm when I first started the mono track years ago... but of course their mono was fake, so I was eager to see what real mono looked and smelt like... and it was a chemical smell, not sweet smell like k-s pharm's which was phenylhydroquinone... harsh stuff...

Anyway and the powder was an off white beige colour crystaline powder and was very fine, so I'm not sure if that was micro? Or just normal...

Anyway will keep updating as I go along...

No such thing as micro mono, it does not exist it just a name that depig created, only 2 form of mono are1.) regular mono 2.) mono USP, to help mono dissolve faster you should put in a little alcohol in your mixture

Do you know what the real mono powder looks like? Do you have a photo at all, so I can compare? I wish they had photos on the web somewhere but I can't find anything?

Anatola
Jun 4, 2009, 07:02 AM
Lighterr,

It does not necessarily need to be USP! It can be BP/CP/EP/JP etc depending on the country origin. Some argue that the USP standard is not the highest of them all anyway. And yes micro mono is a marketing gimmick.

OK update... ever since I stopped the fair and glow and started on anil's mono, I have darkened, now this either means fair and glow was fake or that it was mono and that anil's is fake... not sure what's what yet! Anyway, my skin itches and burns still when I put anil's stuff on... This could means that anil's mono is real and that I'm only just starting the mono process now and that is why I'm darkening all of a sudden, or it means that the fair and glow was mono and that anil's is fake and that is why I have darkened... anyway very confusing... will give it a week and see what happens... but the lightening that I got with fair and glow has completely diminished and its only been nearly 2 days...

Hey yeah I think your actually right, I think anil's mono is real.. I can't say anything about the fair and glow as I don't know how to test their cream... but it makes me wonder with all the advertising that they do... I mean they are on every single website search practically.. and on all the chemical searches... and they claim to guarantee depigmentation or your money back...

The darkening of my skin has slowly gone away throughout the day... I scrubbed my skin really well and applied lots of vit e oil cream all over my body because I was so sore from dry skin... and that seemed to have helped my skin recover which I'm happy about...
Anyway my skin is close to its original colour now, so I will monitor the lightening process from now... its strange though because my chest area is lighter than any other part so far... and my arms and hands are lighter than my face... oh and my ears are peeling!! Lol
I feel like I have been sun burnt and now I'm peeling... but its only the ears right now, nowhere else...

Anyway will keep you updated each day on my progress...

Thanks for letting us know!

You do know that all these are words in the wind. Without any pictures it's nothing to us because what you are describing are the symptoms of depigmenting but we can't really be sure that this is happening to you. If this is really happening then I am REALLY happy for you and it would be great for all of us to see some real pictures...

Yeah I guess so... I mean the pic in my avitar is me... I was going to take photos of my legs and take a photo everyday to keep a record of how the process is going... maybe I can do that here... but I wouldn't be able to do if for around 2 weeks as I need time to show lightening process... hopefully something considerable happens, in a good way!

Well good luck! I hope you become as white as Dita Von teese! If that's what you are going for? I love her colour!

Yeah the body takes a bit longer to show any changes in comparison to the face so two week intervals I think are perfect!

Can't wait to see your results..

Actually it depends.. because the benoquin cream from canada drugs when they were selling it, started having effects in a 2 day period... so I guess it's a case by case basis... and also the quality, and how its made and so on...

I have been using fairnglow for about a few days with out any lightening and a lot of burning on my neck. I don't use it on my face, but my face is peeling. Please let me know what you find out about anil.

With anil's powder, I decided to put a little powder in water, and a little powder in alcohol to see if it would dissolve... and in both glasses, some rose to the top and some stayed in the bottom of the glass... would not dissolve...

I have been applying the cream like 7 times a day and in result, I have extremely dry itchy skin... no considerable lightening yet.. will give it a couple of weeks to let it work on my skin...
Im still so surprised that the lightening that I got with fair and glow has completely gone..

Anyway I'm pretty sure anil's stuff is real as it has a little of the same smell that was used in the 7unite cream and they use part mono..
If people have gotten mono from both 7unite and kaisen... take notice of the same kind of smell? The sweet scent that you smell in the cream is phenylhydroquinone... But the chemical type of smell is the mono... but you can only smell a little of it in the 7unite cream.. but in anil's powder... it is just all chemical smell, so it just might be pure..

Anyway will touch base in a couple of weeks with pics...

Hey, I don't think you realise what you have... the pinkish white sweet powder you have is NOT mono!! It is phenylhydroquinone and will not work! It is supposed to lighten the skin and yes it burns a little, but it makes you darker after... and it causes all sorts of problems for the body like nose bleeds, dizziness, you will get very very sick if you continue to use it :(

My mono journey so far with anil's is quite painful! Im waiting for all the dry scaly skin I have to just peel away... it is extremely tight and no matter how much moisturizer or oil I put on, it doesn't help... I have cut my mono applying down to 3 times a day from 10... im currently very red and tanned... and I think that is a good thing at the moment... I think this is the way it is supposed to be before you go light... but I will let you know when the light skin comes through... then I will take pics and upload them..

If you are using 20%+ monobenzone cream mixture you are not meant to apply it more than 3 times a day (two is the norm). Where did you read 10 times? That's crazy, you'll burn yourself to death. Take it easy, you are already of white skin so less melanin already anw... 2 times daily should do it for you in a couple of months no need to go overboard!

Yes I think your right... I started peeling on my tummy and around my neck and I tried to rub it off in the shower with an exfoliant and I started bleeding, so I think I will only keep it now to 2 times a day...
Very sore at the moment... I tried to take photos of my skin peeling, but it didn't show up in the photos I took, I don't have a special camera or anything...

Likerose is using fair n glow... but I'm pretty sure its not pure mono now... as it lightened way too quickly, not to mention the second you stop using it, you go dark... but maybe that was just the case with me...

Sorry got a few moments to spare again.
Wow mj I think your overdoing it a bit with the mono.
I use 20 percent twice a day and my face tingles a lot but not so much on my body, I'm thinking of upping the strength for my body.
Guys ind I really advise you noty go out in the sun while using it I did and the skin that was exposed has gotten darker like I actually have tan lines wjhich has never happened to me before and the skin gets very dry when exposed to sun.
I'm going to buy some sun block now from eBay and I'm going to stock up on some alcohol.
Mj I hope your not applying mono and alcohol straight to skin cause when you mix it with cream it isn't meant to be paste like it should be same texture as cream? In my case anyway.
Erm...
With me my face is like a tan colour with lots of pink undertones , I have a clearer complextion than when I was using hydroq. I've lightened a bit but nothing too obvious.

guys ind i really advise you noty go out in the sun while using it i did and the skin that was exposed has gotten darker like i actually have tan lines wjhich has never happened to me before and the skin gets very dry when exposed to sun.
im going to buy some sun block now from ebay and im going to stock up on some alcohol.
mj i hope your not applying mono and alcohol straight to skin cause when you mix it with cream it isnt meant to be paste like it should be same texture as cream? in my case anyway.
erm...
with me my face is like a tan colour with lots of pink undertones , i have a clearer complextion than when i was using hydroq. iv lightened a bit but nothing too obvious.




Hey yeah I was going a bit overboard with the mono... that is why I'm making another batch of cream tonight with a lower percentage!
Im like you... my neck is so dry... I have included photos so you can see the scalyness of it... it is so sore!! :(
I don't mix alcohol with my cream... I just use vit e cream with sunblock and add the powder to that...

This one is of me gone tanned after putting the cream on

Thanks for uploading the pics, mj. I see what you mean about the dryness. We are actually the same skin tone. But, I'm not seeing any lightening with Fairnglow. The first day I put it on, it burned, but now, nothing. No burning, peeling, or lightening. I have about three jars left, then I will try Anil.

Haven't the test results come back from the lab yet?

All I can say is continue to use lots of moisturizer! But please don't believe just yet that Anil's mono is the real mono…other chemicals can have these drying effects on the skin.
I really hope for your sake that this is a real mono powder.

No I haven't actually had time to send it as I work most days from 9-5.. I will try next week.

With anil's powder... I must admit... no lightening on face or arms... but strangely enough, my back is lighter and so are my legs and feet? I thought face and hands are supposed to go lighter first? I had to stop mono on my tummy and neck as it is just too sore and red and has cracked and it looks like my cat has scratched me all over... so I have been putting paw paw ointment over it all which is helping a lot... it is used for rashes and cuts and burns...
Im only putting mono on my face, ears, legs and back/arms now...
Will post more pics soon of legs and back... though is difficult because the flash sometimes alters the look.. and I want it to look as normal as possible to what I'm taking a photo of...

I will also upload anil's mono powder... so you can all see it and note the difference to what you are all using( specially to the ones who get their mono powder from actual chemists ) .

Jun 10, 2009, 09:27 PM
Wow, Likerose, what exactly happened to your friend? I will try and be patient with the creams that I have. So, is your skin becoming spotty and then depigmenting or is it becoming an overall lighter complexion. My only worry is that true mono does not depigment in that way. Mono is very erratic and unstable in the way it depigments your skin. It starts with white patches here and there, which will eventually even out over time. However, hydroquinone lightens in an uniform way. But, you will get darker again cause it isn't permanent. So, I'm worried that none of these creams contain true mono.

Ok thanks. I will keep an eye on the site. I want to purchase some of their mono - maybe 40%. I know some folks have a bad experience but I want to try my luck with it. Just looking for a couple shades lighter. Their Hydro powder.. I don't know... it just seems like you have to put a ton into the lotion to even see a difference. So I get scared with that high a concentration - because of all the warnings I see. These days there is no pure powder anymore. I remember about 5yrs ago just a tiny bit made such a difference. :-)

Sorry you had a bad experience with them. I did get my product 1 week after I ordered the Hydro - because as soon as I placed the order and got the receipt from Paypal, I started to e-mail their customer service orders@mono. And they stayed right on it and shipped it out. So we'll see if the site ever comes back and what my future experience will be with them.

Sorry to hear lighterrr :-( I hope your skin rebounds soon and you get a nice even toned. The thing is if Mono gave you vitiligo and they say mono is to be used in the treatment of vitiligo - will the derm now use a proper concentration of it on you to fix it? That is so weird. I think these sites are selling bad products that are messing our skin up - working with your derm is definitely the way to go.
Good luck.

Can you tell me where you got your mono from?

mcgm802820
Jun 24, 2009, 01:01 PM
guesswhoiam, I got it from a pharmacy locally and the owner is my friend. Even he is my friend, he still asks for a prescription. I have a prescription from my doctor (my uncle). He then compounds the mixture specifically for me. I told him what lotion I am using. I was using powder and tried to mix it myself at first since I got the powder from a friend who bought it from Anil. Both mixtures seems to give the same result. I would say Anil's mono is good based on that result. But, I only used his powder for about 3 months on and off at the beginning when I got red rashes and irritation, then for only one month at the 20%. I am on my 4th month with compounded lotion at 20%.

mcgm802820
Jun 24, 2009, 01:11 PM
fairr, I am making progress and thanks for asking. I only use mono on my neck, hands and feet. I got spots in my 3rd months and all seems to connect slowly. My hands are now in two colors, upper hands are a lot lighter than my lowers'. It is not too distictable since I am a light olive color. I wear long sleeves most of the time now. The doctor (my uncle) told me that it will all clear up by the 7th or 8th month. Then my body will start the depig. Process evenly. Wish me luck since mono may NOT work for a person like me who only have a very little vitiligo 10-15%. I won't do it if they are not on my visible parts of my skin. Good luck to you all mono users :)...

Jun 24, 2009, 01:16 PM

Later, it gave me some white spots. When I used the compounded mixture at the beginning, I was fine without any side effect. I'll be very careful to share my experience from now on :)...

People don't use mono unless you are willing to make a commitment for a few years to see it through

mcgm802820
Jun 29, 2009, 06:25 AM
All, lighterrr is right. My uncle tolld me that it takes 1 to 2 years for people who have 50%+ vitiligo to finish. In my case (10%+) it may take longer 2/3 years. I have prepared to go for it after the serious consideration with family supports. I am pretty fair to start with and have good results in my 4th months, he told me that I may be done within 2 years. I am just happy and feel lucky to here that. Also, my face and neck are almost done. My hands are half way done. Once, my hands are done, I'll be looked normal, in one colour. Another point is that, make sure you get the correctly compounded mono and have a Doc. To oversee you. My chemist have to give me a different compounded mixture for the Winter, Spring and Summer. Good luck to all of us.

Sorry took long to talk on ere again.
My face and neck is reallllly light but the rest of my body doesn't want to budge.
Any tips nt too sure what to do.
My face peels and the gets lighter and then goes to one uniform colour and is really smooth and soft and then it starts to peel again. The cycle continues.#
At the mo my face is really light like a pinkishish beigey yellow.
I've got dark circles under my eyes but their easy to disguish with some foundation.
At the mo I have to wear a darker foundation on my face and neck so it blends with my body, il do this until my body is one uniform colour. I have to wear long sleaves and turtle necks but I don't really care. I'm happy with my face and neck.

imgorgeous, are you sure that your mono is pure ? My chemist compounds the cream with different recipes based on my skin type for me. I do not know the actual recipes, but, the most important point is to use a good absorbent base. Then use more oil in the cream (almond/avocado oil, shea butter, etc.) during the dry months and reduce oil during the hot months. He also ask me to use a good body moisturizer after 2 hours of mono application. Also, please do exfoliation at least twice a week and use sunblock cream (not sunscreen) SPF 55+ whenever you go out. Hope that help.

Well folks... I had purchased some 20% mono from Hong Kong at about $13 bucks per tube... and I used it for 4 days on my legs and started to see white spots... so it's working already. It looks like it's the same brand that is being sold by fairglow for 45 bucks per tube. However, like lighterrr said you have to be committed to the complete depig. So I stopped. I don't want to depig... just get a few shades lighter... so I will stick to the hydro for now. I just wanted to share with you how much cheaper you can get it.

Hi mcgm... OK as far as the oil is concerned its summer so isn't using it at the moment... but have mixed my product in rubbing alcohol... am using sunblock and not sunscreen every single day... and I exfoliate almost every alternate day ./...


Am I not compounding things right ?

You know I really can't tell you how depressed I am getting over this... mono doenst work for me, that crappy benzylarubuitin didn't work at all, and now in desperation I'm trying with hydroquinone.. and its not working.. at the moment.. my crystals anyway get brown eveyrtime I add to alcohol and heat it.. so its like useless immeidately...

Please help me... I'm fed up of going super red in the face every time like I have eeczema with these products and then people tell me wait for sometime till it rubs out and you will get lighter.. well I haven't gotten lighter at all.. I'm just the same colour I have been in many years... in fact my natural baby colour was whitish.. not caucasian but north indian white... which is very fair.. I can't even get to that colour with these products...

Its absolutely depressing !

PLEASE help me guys... today I was so upset I mixed HQ and Mono... together... then applied retin a before applying this mix !

imgorgeous, I feel your pain. I get dpressed sometimes too. Sometimes these things look like they are working and then after a week or so it just stops as if opening and closing the jar somehow depletes the effectiveness. One thing I can tell you is to stop switching from product to product when you don't see results right away. Stick with the Hydro for now... only. My experience is when I start using it I seem to get a little darker for the first few days but then start to lighten up (if it's a good solution that is) So what strength Hydro are you using? All you need to do is dissolve it in some oil... especially an oil that already has like 2% hydro (they sell them everywhere in the beauty shop) then add that oil to your cream and use away and not think about it. I use if after every shower and durng the day on my hands after every hand wash. Cheer up sweetie!

imgorgeous, sounds like you're doing the right things. BTW, where did you get your mono ? How long have you being using it ? Do you apply mono cream to your whole body ? Once a day or twice a day ? Please do NOT mix your mono with retin A. Mono should NOT be mixed with any other actives ! You can apply retin A 1 or 2 hours after your mono application, and only use retin A at night. I have friends who mix their mono in different lotions and all of them have started to see something (lighter, spots, etc.) within 3 or 4 months. Disolving mono and blending mono with other bases well is the key point regardless of what you're mixing it with. NO OTHER ACTIVES should be mixed with mono. May be your mono is NOT pure ?

Hence I said Hong Kong. So buy at your own risk all I know I started to see white spots in 4days for me and it was significally cheaper than the other sites

Alcohol with dissolved mono, to combat the dry skin put a little baby oil or almond glow oil in your mixture

OK quick update on progress... I have like 10 times as many spots now on my body... mostly on my thighs, a few on my back near my underarm and quite a few on my tummy and my chest is pretty depigmented already.. that is lightening the most quick... my face is finally evening up.. Anyway... it took this long to start seeing proper results... how long has it been, like 3 months or something? I was beginning to think it was all crap... but yeah.. Things are starting to work now :)

Anyway will touch back in soon...

Take care all :)

Thanks for the update, Mj. How are you mixing it and how many times a day are you applying? I was using it, but my skin got too dry.


Ive learnt that the drying process is part of lightening though... I was applying 2 times a day and I found my whole body got really dry, itchy and scaly and looked really dark, and I thought that it wasn't working because my skin went really dark, but it was because all the dead skin cells and pigment cells were hanging on the surface and no matter how much you exfoliate, it doesn't come off, it sheds in its own time! So I thought I would give it time, and took my dose down to once a day because it was just too painful applying it more than once while the skin was like that... and slowly but surely, the skin rubbed off and the lighter skin was underneath and also the spots.. and the drying process is less sever each time the skin sheds.. the first was the worse and it was hard to even move sometimes because it was that tight, cracked and sore... But the less pigment there is to die, the less the symptoms are when applying mono.

I found mixing my powder with straight apricot oil and olive oil was the best... no alcohol, no cream... But when I mix the powder with oil.. it is very pasty, and its guaranteed to mix properly and when I put it on my skin, I also apply nivea cream over my body, just to help it rub in OK and it makes my skin silky smooth and also stops hair growth.. it minimizes the time that the hair takes to grow back on legs after a wax or shave, which is cool :)

Anyway... hope that info helps...

Ooooo... mj thanks for the advice will defo start using oil to dissolve now instead of the hand sanitiser,
Well at the mo, the crease on my arm near your elbow. Is like a pinkish white the lightest part on my body and the rest of my arm has gone reallyyyyy dark so it looks really weird. So I wear long sleaves till that sorts.
My face and neck are brill there nearly there, my hands are getting lightter too. Because the skin on your hands and feet is meant to be the hardest to lighhten, so I apply it to them 4 times a day whereas I put it on the rest of my body twice.
Il see how the oil goes. Thanks again

I just mixed a frsh batch of mono that I dissolved in oil and oh my... there's hardly any drying at all my skin is like soft.
What I do is I have a bath morning and evening and while I am still wet apply johnsons baby oil all over , but I don't wipe yself dry I leave it to soak into my body. Once it has all soaked I apply the mono that I dissolved in oil (which also has lotion almond oil and sun block mixed in)
Now my skin is like 10 times more soft... so thanks a lot mj I will defo recommend it to anyone.

I really Very thankfull to you all and fairnglow.

Why are you posting about fairnglow on a page where we are talking about Anil's mono.. I think you may be associated with the company as all your messages seem to be talking that company up whenever you post.. when really... from my experience.. Fairnglow wasn't even real mono.. for one thing, its not supposed to work so quickly as to lighten in 1 week, not to mention when I stopped using it.. within 1 to 2 days, it turned me back to my original color. So I'm thinking it was mercury or something, like what they use over in China.

At least with Anil's... It takes time.. as it should.. they state on official websites with Monobenzone info that it can take up to 4 months to show any progress..

Another thing is.. fairnglow smells like lemons, and they claim to not use anything but pure mono and a normal base cream... which is lies. The cream has a strong lemon scent and therefor has to have some kind of bleach in it or something.. you know, like that hydroquinone bleach cream that they sell on the internet... So it could very well just be that with mercury or something...


Anyway just thought I should give my opinion on it all.

Will post soon with more progress updates and hopefully photos too.

Ok, so another update!

It seems like now after the 4th month I think it has been now.. that the spots that came up last month, are spreading fast which is great.. mostly on my tummy and upper thighs, my calves( lower part of legs ) are not doing anything... and neither is my back really.. but at the top of my butt there is a pinky white mark and there are little pinky white dots all around my genital area.. The white dot behind my right underarm seems to have spread like half a centimeter and the dead skin cells from the sides of my ribs are slowly coming off with lighter skin underneathe.. There are a few white spots on both my arms.. though the crease in the middle of the arm is all cracked on both arms as it got so dry from the mono and sometimes I wasn't putting extra moisturizer on, so it is all cracked and red at the moment, but with pinky white marks underneath.
My face is strange with the mono... for like 10 minutes after I apply.. my skin goes almost translucent, specially around my temple area, though through the day, the skin goes darker.. so I'm not sure if that's the initial process of the mono doing its job, then the melanin fights and hence why the skin darkens till you apply it again... though slowly but surely the skin is getting lighter.. but very slow process... but I guess that is the mono way!

I have included a photo for you all.. it was difficult trying to get a good shot without the flash making effects, but the photo doesn't show the spots properly.. they are very noticeable, and in the photo, you can't see that... I hate when photos do that... anyway hopefully later on I can take more than actually show more..
Maybe others can post their pics as well? The ones using Anil's..

By the way... I am nearly through my 1kg powder and have ordered another, it should be here in a few days I was told... When mixing the powder with straight oil, you use more mono for some reason... does anyone else notice this, or is it just me?


Anyway will touch back in, in a week or two with more of an update..

Good for you. I see what you are saying that the camera is not showing up the spots that much. But I see a beautiful complexion. So congrats and hopefully all the spots get bigger and eventually join. Well you know I am the Hydroquinone girl but I am still not satisfied with the HYDRO that I buy from mono.net So I just called Anil and he is going to mak a comoosition for me and send me a quote. He's really helpful. I look forward to hearing from him.

Mj, I understand what you are saying too. I have those same spots on my arms and lots of little tiny confetti spots on my tummy. I still don't apply mono to my face. Im using a 10% hydroquinone on my face, which has gone very pale. It seems like this process of mono is going to be a very long and slow one. But I'm hanging in there. I am glad that you are too.

Guess, I got my 10% hydro from a doctor. He has it compounded with retin-a. It works, but it is quite expensive. When I'm there, I usually stock up on about 4.

lighter,i want to ask you some questions in private,but i can't send you a pm i think because im still new here?? I'm thinking of using a high concentration of hydroquinone instead of mono.

The highest concentration you can get over the counter is 2% and the highest you can get by prescription is 4% which, depending on how dark your skin is will take a considerable amount of time (usually within 3-4 weeks before you see results) there are also carcinogenic factors involved if you use HQ for a long time, and if you stop it, can cause mottled skin or may redarken. I am not advertising for anyone, but I will mention that I am trying to get Benoquin through a reputable organization, not fairnglow, nothing from china or india, not monobenzone or depig. They actually treat vitiligo patients but are willing to sell Benoquin. I will let you know the results and if it is satisfactory, I will give details on how to get it via pm.

Jystyn, you can get a higher concentration of hydroquinone from a doctor. I know, cause I'm getting a 10% compounded cream. He has it compounded with retin-a, so it actually works quite well. You are right about the carcinogenic factors, so I don't plan to use it long. Please let me know as well about the Benoquin if it is legit.

MJ One thing more helps you.
Why don't you Test both from Labortory.
And Also 1 Kg powder mean you know what. Its equal to 5Kg cream of 20%,
And it enough for one person to get results. You got only white spot with 1 kg powder then I think for depigmentation you required about 50 Kg. Is it seeming genuine? Do Test of Both that will be better as I did. And don't want to use name as its not association, Its advise. I Don't want that in future you people will acquire vitiligo. DO NOT GO BLINDLY. USE YOUR OWN MIND.

Aug 15, 2009, 01:43 AM
One thing more MJ.
If powder is pure then why don't you stop using it now and see wheather it remain white or also remain dark.
As your powder quantity is equal to 5kg cream of monbenzone 20%.
In fairnglow case you have conculded with only 100 grams cream.
Now you have used 5kg cream and got only white spots, So want to say you all MJ want result with 100gm cream there in fairnglow case and whereas in case of Anil she want to Use more and more.
You want to know, Why.
Just Because Anil 1kg powder cost $200.
Can you imagine its real?
In my opinion if you want use Monobenzone, then use as much low as you can. So prefer fairnglow
Friends you are all using Monobenzone cream for lighting and I am using it as medicine as I am vitiligo patient.
MY ADVISE: Just stop using MONOBENZONE as dark skin is much better that this light spotted skin.
Do Not follow her Blindly.
I saw MJ's pics and found that her skin tone is already light, there's no need for anything.
She is doing all this blindly, she don't know when she go outside in sun. whole skin starts irritating. Because of this Monbenzone therapy.
STOP USING MONOBENZONE FOR SKIN LIGHTING. ITS MEDICINE FOR VITILIGO PATIENTS.
Thanks FOR TIME GOD BLESS YOU.

You know I have to believe dufferent skin types respond differently to the various therapies so I am not going to say this persn's product is fake or not - all I know is that I bought hydroquinone powder from Anil - who I think is a wonderful guy willing to help etc but it is not working for me at all. As soon as you add the powder to the cream it becomes very dark right away. I thought it was after some time when the cream had aged it gets darker. Weird - not to mention it did not work at all for me. I am not going to put Anil down though - his Hydroquinone powder just does not work for me. Moving on.

You should only buy hydroquinone in the usa you can find chemist on eBay, how long were you using is hydroquinone for? It should get dark if you didn't close the cap correctly and left it open, right away is weird. Also the mj person just leaving after people asked for pictures.didnt someone on here make a thread saying anil's ip address matched a certain someone living in the UK's address?

Not sure.. but I am done with that powder. I have been using 20% hydro on my face and hands but my hands have been very difficult to lighten so I purchased anil's powder to add to my cream to make it stonger... mistake. To answer your question I have been using the 20% hydro now for about 2 months.
