Hi sheralcrow. How is your mono experience going on? I am also using mono20% and I am on my 3rd week. So far no bad reaction on my skin. Is there anyone else out there who is using mono? Share your experience with me.

Well I am but I think I am going to take a break,I've been stressed,but I've lighten without the white spots,but lately I just been apply to my neck,to lighten it up,I hate the color of my neck it dark brown,but it lighten up good,to a meduim brown...

That's good if it is working for u. I can't say if it is working for me or not. I am same color as before. But I have stopped applying bleach cream on my skin which I used to do after every 2 or 3 weeks. I have started using a lot of sunscreen on my faCe now. I am waiting to get sum results.

I had acne marks on my cheek, they have disappeared by 90% in last three weeks. I don't know if it is pure 20% mono or just another lightening cream.

sonny1988,you still using the monobenzone cream,and what color you are now,and what you get your monobenzone cream from,private message me,OK...

Fair indian color. Gettig mono from india.

Wow,but you still have to use it,to maintain that fair color,you must was dark before you start.. can you sen me a private message,photo of the tube,I think we using the same tube.

I haven`t gotr that fair.it feels same. But after I shave it feel real good to watch that glowing skin. But immediately I apply sunscreen which makes me look like same as before. I am not getting any peel off as I read on other threads. I`ll post you pics when I really feel some diffrence. As I have just started. I`ll give it another month. I am also planning to buy kojic acid soap. What about u, what results are you getting bro? Let me know.

That what,I wash my face with the benoquin,the kojic soap,but I have stop benoquin,I couldn't hardly breath,like some type of side effect,so please be careful with it,I through a whole tube in the trash.. iam using gluta-c again,and thet works good for me also...

Gluta c pills? I was thinking of it but I`ll pass it don't want to go on medication pills now. But if mono doesn't work I have to think about it.

More over I apply mono only once a day on my face. I am taking it real slow. What about you how many times did you use it in a day?

I spent my whole day on beach and sea water yesterday, luckily I was wearing a wet suit. There is a day and night diffrence between my hands and arms after I came back. My face and neck got tan as well , its going to take a week to get rid of it. Crap back to where I started.

Lol sun screen and plenty of it

No I am using the gluta-c cream,well the benoquin I was using it like 2 times a day on my face&neck.. and those small tubes last me a long time... iam going all natural again... I was using it straight right out the tube a bad mistake I made,I didn't mix it with the castor oil,are you using it straight,right out the tube?

Yes straight of the tube, with just few drops of water to make it smooth.

I live in a country which has very less or no ozone layer . That really sucks.

I used a lot of sunscreen on my face which saved me from getting really tan. I`ll recover in few dayz I reckon. Just applying mono on face nothing else.

Benoquin works very fast,I never got white spots from it,you got white spots?or not..

no. I hope I don't get any.

I am going to avoid sun now . No more beach.

How many shades did u light up with mono and other products haiji? How long have u used them?

Well with the gluta-c whitening cream it lighten me up a whole lot,I went from a dark caramel brown to almost a light brown,but the benoquin made me a shade lighter,I am a beautiful brown complexion now,but I am still using the gluta- c cream,with tretinoin cream/retin-a 0.1%but the tretinoin lighten me as well...

Well that's a great news . I didn`t even know about gluta cream. Is it easy to find that cream? Is it available in india?if yes then I`ll give it a go.

I don't know,yo can find it india,but you can order online,give me your email so I can tell you what I get it from,o by the way I am east indian to&black..

Hi . I have send you a private message haiji.

I receivd your message haiji. Thanks.

You welcome...

I am in my 4th week now of using mono cream. I have to wait few more weeks to get some results I reckon. I am just using sunscreen regulerly and my mono. I have stopped applying anything else on face. I might have gone half shade lighter from last few weeks. But still its not what I expected.

well thats a great news . i didn`t even know about gluta cream. is it easy to find that cream? is it available in india?if yes then i`ll give it a go.

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)

So according to you I should stop using mono and not try any products from funcky mommy?

Well, you'll have to decide what you'll like to do and achieve. w/ FM maybe nothing will happen, but as seen everyone's experiences are different. About the mono, this is only a basic draft from the site and what usually happens with mono, and you'll have to be prepared for this process to happen at different times, give or take as everyone's skin is unique and will have it's own stages.

Have you been able to lighten your skin? What products do you think is suitable for skin lightening/whitening.

have u been able to lighten ur skin? what products do u think is suitable for skin lightening/whitening.

This is my second time having some success with lightening my skin. Right now I have been using hq 4% and retin-a 0.05%, and it's lightening well. I'm hoping to achieve my goal at least for my face and a few other areas by the end of Feb. I don't plan on using hq forever. I may switch to Nadinola extra strength (3% hq) and retin-a.

Which product were you using before! If you don't mind me asking how many shades have you lighten up till now? What was your real color?

I have got 1 more mono tube left with me, if I don't get any results I am going to give up on that. Also I am getting kojic acid soap from philipenes tomorrow. Lets see how both work for me.

I have been using 4 in 1 kojic soap for 3 days now. It burns a lot when I use it and I hope that's a good sign. Also I put mono on my face afterwards. I hope they don`t react with each other. I`ll wait another week to see any results from kojic soap.

which product were u using before! if u dont mind me asking how many shades have u lighten up till now? what was ur real color?

Sorry, I didn't notice this here before. Before the Hq/Ra I used Makari night crème which has more natural active ingredients an it lightened me up to about 3.5-4 shades. The Hq/Ra lightened me up to about the same, although some days I feel darker than others (used this for a few months). Now I'm on Nadinola (3% Hq) and retin-a 0.05%When I was a kid I say I was around Tyra's, since adulthood my color was around Toni Braxton's. Right now I think I'm more in between.

Hi. Kojic soap is effective but it has made my skin really dry amd mono didn`t work at all. I don't want to get wrinkled . So I am giving up now. I don't think there is any product which can make me 4 shades lighter. I`ll just go natural and use sun screen only. I think my journey to skin lightening is almost over. Thanks guys for your support.

How long have you been using monobenzone cream,sonny1988?

One and half months. It did not do anything. I still have one whole tube left with me. I`ll keep using kojic soap. If I get some results I will let you know.

Guys, using monobenzone on face can make you get a white spot on your arms or back? How is this possible?

ARRGH!

Just because it's about the 10th post in the last few days:

NO CHAT SPEAK!

The words are "you" and "your", not "u" and "ur".

Type like adults, please!

Guys, using monobenzone on face can make u get a white spot on ur arms or back? how is this possible?

No I don't think so, I have stopped using mono now. Ended up with zits all over my cheeks. I am lighter by 2 shades now, but don't know whether it was mono or other products which I used. Or maybe using sunblock only.

Who's funky mommy?

Guys, using monobenzone on face can make u get a white spot on ur arms or back? how is this possible?


Monobenzone is systematic i.e it travels in the body, there areas I did not apply to got patches.

Lol ! - You just cracked me up if you think you lightened by using SUNBLOCK ONLY !

Lol totally not sunblock, sunblock doesn't have anything that can break down melanin. Unless it's mixed with Hq :D

I use neutrogena 85+ spf daily when I step out. Moreover I take real good care of my face. Wash it regulerly and use any lightening cream from the net. But definitely its not mono which worked for me. But I'm still looking for the right fairness product. I`ve just bought whiteme cream from the net 2 days ago.

Hi guys, I'm just writing this to let my feelings out. I can't wait to completely depig myself. It appears that here in Melbourne(Australia), you will never get fined in a tram by the tram officer if your white. This is so unfair. I witnesses this for the 7th time already. If white people didn't got a ticket, they will just have to nicely smile and talk to the tram officer and then the officer won't fine them. This is so racist and unfair. I didn't understand why Australia wanted to accept refugee by saying "rejecting refugees means racism!". They can't even get rid of racism yet! And it's still EVERYWHERE.
They hate and bashes Indians, Pakistanis, Iranians and Saudi Arabians. I usually don't want to admit this, but now I do: that the lighter your skin color is, the better treatment you get.

W17chc124f7 I don't think it's a good reason to depig yourself..
Because it seems that the reason you want to depig didn't came from within you.. you may regret it later

I know.. But how to put this? I'm quarterly mixed. My grandmother was white indian, so she has a very white and fair skin. When it comes to me, I didn't have her white skin. My dad is chinese and his skin is dark. My mom is half (white indian & chinese). So my skin colour is yellow, but my face looked mixed. I'm very sure that if I depig myself, I would look better. Because I was once very white when I was 13 years old. But as I grew older, my dad's genes keep on catching up with me and my skin color grew darker and darker. I'm currently in melbourne, doing performing arts. And people here are very racist. They wouldn't allow asian skin color to take the role of Shakespeares, and MOST of the drama performances here are about shakespeares. So if I keep on getting rejected because of my skin colour, I'm totally ed up, I will never get a job.

I hate to admit this, but racial supremacy is still on.
: (

Anyway, my leg don't want to depig, so I kind of look like a faun now. White body but yellow legs >.>

Believe me I know how you're feeling.. I've been there.. you want the truth?
I'm still got those bad feelings even though my skin is not black any more
I was black african guy and now I'm white.. (well my lega still patchy)
But the change is only outside.. don't get me wrong I love my color but I'm still dealing with issues.. if you're into it go for it.. make yourself happy..
Just don't let yourself think it will change Everything, ONLY THE SKIN
GOODLUCK... BTW I sent you PM

Does anybody here who use mono take glutathione as well?
If yes, how is it?

no... where you got that idea?
Glutathione as a lightening is just a myth

Hey guys. Help me out. I can't get rid of acne scars on my cheeks. I have stopped using every lightening product and sunblock. Because I was getting more pimples. Please help.I regret using whitening products, now I'm left with red spots for months. I had a clear face before. I am getting sick and tired now.
