Hi guys, I am new to this forum but actually have been lookig up things to try since 2006. I am sick of it. I need to do this now, this year, and nothing is stopping me. I made a firm decision to use mono. If people say something about it Ill just say I stay out of the sun. I am not a dark skin person, I am Lauren Londons color. I want Alicia Keys color. I want to use monobenzone and I need someone to tell me where they got it, and how it worked for them. No sellers! I can spot you very easily if you are, I have been doing this 3 years now. So actual people who have used mono, let me know. Or knowledgeable people.


(BTW I use Ambi to fade dark spots, then will start using mono, for evenness)

I haven't used, Monobenzone before,

But I certainly have a lot of experiences, because of where I buy,
My highly dose of Hydroquinone.


You probably, know that Monobenzone, doesn't light in shades,

It turns you first like oatmeal color,

And it will slowly turn you white, in maybe in patches before, you fully get white color.

Kind of what MJ used because of his Vitiligo.


Anyway, if you want monobenzone good luck.

They do sell in very low concentrations, but if you want

Something more, I was very close to buy it, once.


I don't want to endorse anyone, but there are different people who

Sell them.

You can search after Google maybe "buy monobenzone"

But there are some chinese factories,

Who are ripping people off,

I was schocked I was asking some lady, I guess I searched on

Alibaba.com


And she was like it costs 250$$

For pure monobenzone powder, you can mix up with cream.

That was ripping off, that's expensive.

If I just can add

For your own safety,

Look around the page, there are many

HELPFUL topics here,

Just look around, like I did.

People are extremely helpful.

There are many people who experience, and try a lot of stuff,

You might want to read about those topics,

People mention.


Christaline,


Mequinol, people say it bleaches and also gives you a good undertone.

Hydroquinone, of course as for my own personal experience

I put twice a day

4% of hydroquinone, and retin A.

And it is effective for me.

If you're lauren london complexion alicias skin colour actually is not that far away.
Mono is a very drastic measure and as said before it won't lighten you in stages. Instead you will turn white.
It would be helpful to tell us what u used in the past. So maybe we can suggest you other effective, yet less drastic alternatives.

Oh geez Lauren London is so beautiful.

And correct, I didn't notice that,

Your not far away, you might use hydroquionone to achieve that result.

I agree, Lauren is only a couple of shades away from Alicia so you don't have that far too go. Mono will eventually take you beyond Alicia as it will eventually depig your skin completely with no undertone. There are other lighteners here that others are using with good results... and don't forget spf 70 or higher.

Where can you buy 4% hydroquinone? And what is this Christaline I'm hearing about? Is it good?

Where can you buy 4% hydroquinone? and what is this Christaline im hearing about? Is it good?


I never used christaline, I just heard people, in these topics talking about it.

But you can buy, the 4% hydroquinone in different places,

I ordered last time mine on,

https://skin-careonline.com/

Its kind of expensive for 30 bucks,

Because I heard some people, where buying for 15 $


There is also this other guy, who sell

HIGH STRENGTH 4% HYDROQUINONE MELALITE FORTE CREAM For Sale (http://www.ioffer.com/i/HIGH-STRENGTH-4-HYDROQUINONE-MELALITE-FORTE-CREAM-92019871)

Oh you can get hydroquinone much cheaper than $30. Mobster it cost more because the site sells name brands. Generic is the best route as it is the same thing, same results, just get it from a reliable place. I'll be trying the chrystalline soon to see how it works on me. Any good exfoliator will help speed progress.

... I don't think you should do it. Sigh. When will people ever learn? Mono is NOT something you should play with. At all. You may be light skinned already. But there is still an obvious brown within your skin color. When those patches come and if it doesn't work out the way you want it... Like in many cases with others... What are you going to do then? My goodness when will people learn? STAY-AWAY-FROM-MONO. Didn't you just see that recent post about the man disfigured from mono? His skin is not very dark either. LEAVE-IT-ALONE.

I've seen white hispanic and white brazilian resort to it to get "whiter" and they ended up darker, hyperpigmented/freckled than ever!

Yeah I'm joining the Bandwagon Vanilla, just to say that you really can achieve your results using HQ.. Rather than Mono... because Alicia Keyes is not white... she has a nice creamy complexion and mono will make you pale.. white.. not even really a natural color... or the mequinol will work if HQ is not your thing...

In fact... the two complexions (Lauren vs Alicia) are so close... you really may be able to just use Kojic products and sunblock...

gwia:
Benoquin's been permanently discontinued in USA by ICN since 2002 and by Valeant in Canada since 2007. that way both viscosity issues and abuse issues are reduced.

lightNlift"
They dont sell monobenzone in pharmacies anymore, it has been discontinued because of wideaspeard disfigurement, the only company that sells them now is fairnglow.com and they sell the old cream, not freshly manufactured by MAC remedies which has been out of business for a while.

I see. Well, I'm sure people may be trying to shut down the fairnglow as well sooner or later. I thought medically doctors still give it to vitiligo patients, or are they slowly moving towards mequinol so they can avoid mono all together?

I would die just to be your color.

Does mac-shifa sells pure monobenzone?have anybody purchased from them?

How does monobenzone powder look like?how does it taste?does it look like salt crystals or refined powder?

Does purest monobenzone taste like tangy sour?

Please do not eat monobenzone powder, or even taste. I doubt the doctors taste and eat their mono before prescribing. And if it isn't mono, you could possibly be digesting:

- asbestos
- rat poisoning mix
- or mercury mix

Here are a few facts that break down how mono depigs the skin, from a matter of the first few months, to 1 year, and beyond 1 year.

First few months:
Initial white patches all over the body, including areas not treated with monobenzone.

One year:
Large portion of body has turned white.

If usage has stopped…
When you stop using monobenzone, melanocytes will become active. Old skin color will start to reappear causing distress and very patchy, uneven skin.

If usage continues beyond one year….
Raw areas of pink skin may emerge, mixed with white patches. Spots of original coloring may emerge within a few years due to follicular melanocytes. Monobenzone becomes ineffective on these spots as the returned pigment has become resistant to the chemical. The overall effect can be devastating mentally, emotionally and psychologically.

What Monobenzone Does To Normal Skin:
Initially, white patches, white spots and streaks all over the body (regardless of where the cream is applied) Unlike skin lightening creams which only lighten the areas it is applied to, monobenzone applied anywhere on the body will lead to white patches at different areas.

For example, if you applied monobenzone on your face, you could develop permanent white patches and streaks on your arms, legs and torso as well.

After one year….white skin, with ruddy or pinkish tones
Because monobenzone creams kill the skin's melanocytes, you can expect completely white and pinkish skin following depigmentation. This usually occurs after approximately one year of monobenzone use. The skin color will be similar to a person with albinism. Physical activity and exercise will lead to ruddy-looking skin and flushing as the blood beneath the skin's surface will show up clearly without any pigment to tint its appearance.

Within one to two years, the skin may start to repigment itself
While this repigmentation may happen to vitiligo sufferers as well, it occurs sooner and more aggressively in people with normal skin. This is because vitiligo sufferer's immune systems are constantly attacking their own pigment cells. There is no such action in people with normal skin. With a fully-functioning immune system, melanocytes will become active again. Spots and patches of pigmentation will start to appear over previously white skin, leading to a patchy appearance.

Unlike the initial stage of using monobenzone, applying monobenzone to bleach these repigmented spots will likely have no effect. This is because the newly re-emerged melanocytes have become resistant to monobenzone, even in even higher concentrations like 40% monobenzone. In other words, at this late stage, monobenzone will stop working on the skin.
If the skin does not repigment, expect a lifetime of zero sun protection.

Because melanin offers sun protection, completely depigmented skin which has no melanin offers zero sun protection. Vitiligo sufferers who have successfully depigmented wear hats, long sleeves and long pants outdoors all the time to protect themselves from sun damage. Even on cloudy days, sunscreens with broad coverage are a must.

There exists no way yet to reverse the damage caused by monobezone.


Skin Bleaching With Monobenzone (Benoquin)
http://www.whiterskin.info/skin-bleaching-with-monobenzone/

does purest monobenzone tast like tangy sour?
OMG:eek:who knows what it could taste like? Please don't taste it I think this is very dangerous!

I don't think the people here are trying to rain on your parade, but I agree with them, your completion is so close, it's not worth it. Seems you can achieve this color in a couple months maybe one, depending on what you use. Using mono has to be continued for over a year? Totally not worth it! Ive only seen one person depig to a natural looking color, and this was under the care of a physician.
