My face now got black spots!
I don't understand year + I had light clear face
And now blak spots all over my face and monobenzone doesn't helping anymore.. what should I do guys?
Someone please?
I'm so desperate... hate my life!
If someone can help.. please..

Stop using whatever caused the spots, mono should be used so carefully. Try using some peels to remove the spots. Good luck

Go to your Derm sounds bad.

Super shallow the same thing is happening to me, from my understanding, continue to use your monobenzone and that stage should pass, I think its just temporary. I learned the hard way by going to the doctors and using lots of lightening cream with no luck.
Don't worry the stage will pass, just keep on using it and keep us updated with your progress. Good luck.

Deeo are you sure?
It's happened to you with MONOBENZONE?
And did this stage pass alredy?

Anyway you can read my earlier posts.. I updated all of my stages with monobenzone from the beginning till now...
At first my skin was dry and darker
Then it peeled and became more and more lighter with spots with patches.. and slowly my skin became even.. and the last year my face was beautiful clean clear and bright.. and now I see those ugly black spots all over my face... I don't get it...
Are you sure that's what has happened to you too?

Super shallow repigemntation is a risk can happen but are you sure you used pure mono to get to that stage? If you didn’t then the lightening can be temporary, and you get spots back.
If it was real then you need to continue using it, what strength are you using? Avoid vitamin e products that will defiantly hinder the progress.
Mine has been easy sailing so far but I know everyone is different. No repigemntations spots and my patches has evened out.

If you didn’t depig totally and stopped mono then you are giving your meloncytes to fight back.

I didn't stop using mono.. especially on my face

Check your lotion does it have vit e, another name for vitamin E is Tocopherol
. I know of a case where they had severe repigemntations and it turned out she used lotion contains Vitamin E.
Vitamin E is used to boost repigemntation, something you must avoid while depigmenting.

I haven't recovered yet, you can see my picture in the skincare treat but no one has replied as yet for suggestions. I used the mac-remedy and always mixed with Almond glow.

Sara-UK what do you think, am in uk as well and how can I contact you, that's if you don't mind.

OMG, I just checked the composition on Almond glow: natural ingredients:
Peanut Oil - an excellent emollient and lubricant
Olive Oil - to nourish the skin
Lanolin Oil - to moisturize and soften

Vitamin E - to maintain skin's vitality for a healthy complexion all over

I saw your picture in skin care section but I didn’t understand, you used this Benoquin and what happened?
You get light then got those these freckles? Or it is that stage where start to spread?
I am not sure about this mac Benoquin we had a lot of discussion about them here I am not sure if they provide the real one.

Honestly speaking Mac Benoquin is good but I've always mixed it with The Almond glow lotion which obviously have Vit E and to top it off, my sunscreen has it too.

My skin was perfect, everyone asked me what I have been doing and wanted to know the secret and all of a sudden, the black spots (freckles) started and it spreading because I was so scared of telling anyone, so started trying different remedies, now am convinced it was the Vit E.

How long did you use it for? What strength? And how was the results?

Do you know how this was rectified, I love to depig fully but now am stuck and have to cover up in summer... so annoying and depressing...

I know she avoided vitamin E totally and the problem got sorted. My friend also told me while depigmnting she used sunblock with vitamin e and got freckles. I know it might not have the same effect on certain people but considering it is giving for repigemntation that make me to avoid it.

So move on with it, because I stopped now for over 3 weeks and avoid Vit E and that might actually do the trick. Thinking of it my Husband warned me to avoid sunscreen and just don't bother going in the sun between 10am - 4pm but I ignored him.. lol

Do you mind revealing how u mix yours, I think I really need the tip now on what else I need to avoid.

I don't get it... I don't use mono but if Vit E is used to boost repigmentation... what about lightening?Then why do people who are lightening take vit e pills?? :confused:

@ Violaename - Vitamin E is required for general health. It also brightens and make your skin and hair shine !

That's why ! It will not lighten however!

Do you mind revealing how u mix yours, I think I really need the tip now on what else i need to avoid.


It is really simple but the idea is with the blender. I use to use solvents but that irritate the skin combined with monobenzone.
So I use powerful mixer to mix my cream, sunblock, and monobenzone , so no grains no bits.

Thanks Sara. I mix mine with a belender as well but one tube inside the Almond Glow lotion. What cream is available in UK without vit E that I can use, I will also mix my sunblock together, great idea.

I dont get it...I dont use mono but if Vit E is used to boost repigmentation...what about lightening?Then why do people who are lightening take vit e pills????:confused:

Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant, it can prevent free radicals from entering the skin and increase cell renewal. Although it does not reduce melanin production, it does exfoliate layers of hyper-pigmented dead skin, where as vitamin C it reduces melanin production and encourages cellular renewal through exfoliation.
Scientist believe that vitamin E can stop the free radical that cause vitiligo, although the mechanism of monobenzone not clearly understood, it seems that it does that. That why derm advice people who are depigementing to avoid vitamin E.
It is also one of the treatments options for repigementation, I am not sure about lightening creams they all have different mechanism of action.

Thanx Sara. I mix mine with a belender as well but one tube inside the Almond Glow lotion. What cream is available in UK without vit E that I can use, I will also mix my sunblock together, great idea.

I use e45 as it is really good for dry skin and itching, another one is garnier hydralock milk with 5% urea
Garnier Hydralock Moisturising Milk - Review - This made my skin sigh.... (http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/body-care/garnier-hydralock-moisturising-milk/1167269/)

I thought E45 cream has vitamin e in it, am I wrong.

Super Shallow would you like to share some pictures?

Maybe I could suggest something to you ?
