Hi monobenzone_attention,

I do know that mono is a serious drug.. But I have tried BA from herbalinn At first I used regulary I can say 3 months but It gave 1 shade lightening... after that Iam not getting any lightening more.. So I wanted to use mono I got it from depig.com and Iam using this from I can say 10 days.. not much results but I can't say that it is not working because it is very early to say anything... Now here in this site most of the people are saying they r lightening so I want to use mono.. please tell me if other than mono is there anything to make you fair...

If you bought it from depig.com

It will never work

It is a scam

Everyone knows that (I hope)

You wasted $200 down the drain

Do you know from where lovie1 gets her ones.. help me to get that one

shanu123456: depig.com and monobenzone.com are not sources to buy mono.. people are saying both are scam..

Especially monobenzone.com

It is rumored that they make their creams in the kitchen sink

There are other ways to get monobenzone for a better price..

One tube of monobenzone is not enough to depig the skin.. that will be very pricey.. you have to keep killing melanin..

I can see that mono made me one shade lighter.. I don't use it on my throat anymore.. only on my arms.

I would not recommend to use it on your face.. especially throat ;)

Only if you are very light skinned.. trust me.. if you get spots on other parts of your body is okay.. no one can see them.. you can hide them..

But on the face? NO WAY.. lol


Could you guys all tell me your skin tone?. I'm curious..

Can everyone who has used or still is using mono please post pics ?

Whether you've had a good or bad experience ?

DEPIGMENTATION :: View Forum - [Photo Galleries]

Mellowkat. Here's some pictures you can see.

Thanks punkchic

I'm already on that forum

The owner of that site has vitiligo

So far no one on that forum has used mono for skin lightening

No wonder that no one of this forum uses mono for skin lightening..

Ive been using mono for about a month and a half.. I do see some slight differences... but some very light dots of lighter skin here and there... the problem I'm having is that its starting to make my skin very itchy.

Where exactly are you getting these dots ?

What exact lotion do you use ?

But your pics looks great vahid

OOOH, your skin looks awesome VAHID!

I can not wait, next week, I will be ordering.. and my journey will too be documented!

I am a little scared, and excited at the same time!

I hope I find a solution , for the itchy skin problem.. (if I get one) that vahid is having!

Can some one post the exact mixing directions.

I will make sure I grind, my mono as much as possible, cause if you don't grind it good, then That is probably why you are iching... I will grind mine until ,it is like silk... I hope.

Thank you sweety...

The dots are barely even visible now... they faded a bit or maybe its more noticeable to me than others.

I just use a scale to mix.. I weigh the moisturiser and add 20% of that weight in mono. So for example.. for 1,000 grams of moisturiser I add 200grams of mono.. easy.

I blend it in a blender for 5 - 6 minutes.

And that's all done

Hi vahid,

Hope you got my message

Pmed u as well lovie

sheralcrow just wondering...

1.what race/nationality are you ?

2.what color of a celebrity are you ?

O and did you buy your mono from anil too ?

Hi, mellowkat, and my inspiration VAHID... LOL...

Yeah, I will be ordering from the same person as vahid... but, I emailed him , 2 times and he has not emailed me back... but he did , when I first emailed him about 2 weeks ago... maybe he is just busy... plus he left his phone number on my email, so if he does not return my email, by Tuesday of next week.. the 22'nd, then I will call him, and if he does not answer, then I will assume he does not have anymore, or just being non compliant, and I will order from my second , more expensive source... which will suck, cause I can't afford all of that... but I am ordering monobenzone regardless... next freakin week!! Shoot, I have been waiting and excited, and prepared, and as long as the monobenzone is legit, it will be on my person, in 2-3 weeks!

And I would be happy to order, for anyone!


Also, to the person who wanted to know my race/color




I am indian(cherokee,hotheaded... lol... )

And african american... and my skin tone is a caramel complexion... or light,light brown... like 1 shade and a half darker, then vahid's original skin tone!!

Hey everyone,

I haven't posted in a while, but I read through some of the previous posts. Well, I am African American (light caramel complexion) and I just started using mono two weeks ago. I am using 20% monobenzone cream... not the powder. Although the powder works faster, I want my results to be gradual.

The faster or harsher the strength, the more likely you will get white streaks. I have noticed a FEW white spots on my legs, but I think it's because I have not moisturized my legs like I do my face. By the way, I use the monobenzone cream on my face about 5 times a week. My face is not itchy and nor has it been excessively dry. Sometimes I even use it twice a day!

I am noticing results!! My hands have lightened drastically. The key is sunscreen! I am one of the few who only wants to LIGHTEN with mono, not turn pale or stark white. Unfortunately I cannot posts pics due to privacy reasons, but I may be able to find a photo of a spare body part. LOL.

Just to mention, I try to take REALLY good care of my skin so that may be another reason why the mono has not had a negative reaction on my face (knock on wood). I use an exfoliant everyday, along with pure vitamin C serum, moisturizer, and 45 SPF sunscreen. I also use Retin-A to keep acne at bay and to help with cell turnover. Which in turn, will give you a brighter, more radiant complexion.

When I am cycling off the Retin A, I use a Lactic Acid peel twice a week. Annnnd every 3 or 4 months I have been doing a Jessner Peel, which is a chemical peel. So, with doing all of this... my skin is radiant, supple, and acne free! :-)

This is a long post, but I hope this information led some of you in the right direction with not just skin lightening, but also forming good skin care habits. One more thing: When I use the monobenzone, I only use it RIGHT AFTER I wash my face. Therefore, your skin should be kind of damp (not wet). That way, it will actually absorb more evenly.

Hope this info helps...

QUESTION FOR ALL PEOPLE USING MONO :

I want to use mono to get a whitetish-yellowish olive skin tone (persia white,jessica alba,etc.)

I have a yellow undertone

WILL MONO MAKE YOU PINK OR JUST DEPIG YOU TO YOUR NATURAL UNDERTONE ?

ALSO LOVEME DO YOU HAVE PICS ?

Mellowkat:

I will try to take a couple of pics this weekend. It seems like mono would lighten you to your original undertone. I have a yellow undertone as well. My plan is to get around the light yellowish complexion and maybe use self-tanner. I love the bronze look. Beyonce does this a lot with her skin. It looks really healthy.

What does Vitamin C serum do? It sounds good! And do you know where I can get Retin A from?

HI Loveme1980, thanks for the information!

I have a lot of questions coming to mind, I hope you don’t mind answering them?

Have you been using the mono all over your body as well (apart from face)?

What % mono are you using on the face, I mean is it 20% as well or diluted?

If you apply to body, do you do it everyday or 5 days a week as well, like the face?

Also, do you use Vit C, moisturiser, sunscreen and Retin A everyday and how long have you been using them?

How is your regimen, in the sense, do you apply mono first and then wait for it to absorb before applying the other things, or do you apply mono in morning/evening and the others in evening/morning or is it on alternate days etc?

Lastly, you are seeing good results, so would you attribute it to the exfoliant, vit C, peels etc or do you think it’s the mono (especially if you’ve been using the other things since a long time)?

I am sorry I’m asking too many questions lol!


Myself: I have started with 5% mono. Of course I don’t expect to see results immediately because it’s only been like 2 days. I apply once all over (body+face) in the morning. I will wait patiently, am in no rush!

I stopped using mono on my face.. my white spots and streaks faded away

loveme1980, your routine looks, exactly how mine will!

Retin a. and exfoliation is a key to skin cell turn over, I. e lighter brighter skin!

I am already using retin a. 0.05%,, and I exfoliate with a glycolic acid treatment, I use body exfoliating gloves... ext.

So Iall I need now is a good non greasy moisterizer.

Retin a. is prescription, and you will have to get it from like a surgeon/ or dermatologist!

I want to use vitamin c. serum, however,I don't know if it will clogg my pores or not... but a vitamin c. serum is awesome, in giving a glow to the skin, and help with sundamage, and it protects the skin also!

I might include the sreum in my regimine soon later~!!

GUYS PLEASE ANSWER, WHAT IS THE BEST MOISTERIZER TO USE WITH MONO...

WILL COCOA BUTTER BE OKAY FOR THE FACE... I need a separate one for my face, I will use whatever type moiterizer for my body, but for my face I want coaco butter ,or something that is not too greasy, but penetrates well as moisterizes!


HELP ME OUT!!

LOVES Y'AS!

ALso, whom ever said you will lighten to your under tone(which mine is a light/pale golden)

That is not true, you will depigment, all of the melanin out of your skin.. eventually,

But starting ,like the first couple of years, you will turn into your under tone color, then after like 5 or 6 yrs, is when you will start to turn, really white!

Hey everyone...

Sheralcrow, if you only want to lighten with mono, hopefully, you wouldn't use it for 5 or 6 years. The key is to use it off and on so you don't depig entirely. That is why they suggesting using it only once a week after you have achieved your desired complexion.

Vitamin C serum is great! Go to www.lotioncrafters.com and buy the vitamin c crystals/l-ascorbic acid. It is cheaper this way and you can make your own. If you purchase it already made, it will cost you about 50.00. Click on the link below to read more about Vitamin C

Vitamin C derivatives: skin benefits of ascorbic acid without the downside

Whiteskinwish:

Yes, I use the Vitamin C all over my body, including my face. It use 20%. It is not diluted, but I dilute mine on my own by adding lotion (to prevent dryness). I only use mono on my body about 4-5 times a week. Honestly, I haven't used the Vitamin C in a while because I ran out. I need to buy more. But... I exfoliate in the morning, then while my face is damp I use a moisturizer along with the mono. I wait 30 minutes so the mono and moisturizer can absorb evenly, and then I add sunscreen.

When I use the Vitamin C... it's sort of a hassle because I have to wait even LONGER before I can add the mono and lotion. However, the Vitamin C would normally come before the monobenzone. Vitamin C shouldn't clog your pores unless you have SUPER oily skin. If so, just make sure you use the serum, not the Vitamin C lotion.

If you have never used Retin A, believe me... you will not be able to use it twice a day. It is strong! Your face will peel, turn red and itchy, etc. Therefore, I only use it at night. I am telling you the stuff is magic! By the way, you can purchase Retin-A on the net (WITHOUT A SCRIPT). I've been using it for 2 years or so. The last time I ordered, I got it from www.medsmex.com. There's another site too, but I can't think of it now.

Sheralcrow, if you have oily skin, I would not use cocoa butter on your face. You should use a separate moisturizer your face and body. The moisturizers that are made for the body will DEFINITELY clog your pores. Aim for a lotion that is oil free. I recently used Phisoderm Daily oil moisturizer. It is so soft and the mono go on sooooo smooth. Here's the link for the one I used.

Oil Free Daily Moisturizer | pHisoderm | Beauty & Spa | Walgreens

Clean & Clear has a really good oil free moisturizer too. If you have problems with acne, the Clean & Clear has salicyclic acid that will keep the acne at bay.

I tried to answer everyone's questions. If I didn't just ask again... and I'll try to respond sooner. :-)


LOVEME1980

LOVEME1980, was that your birth year... lol...

Anyhow, you are right on track mommy!

I do get flare ups, around that time of the mnth, like (1) white -head, that is barely noticeable, sometimes, and sometimes, it looks gross, so I am afraid of putting anything on my face...

Besides, retin a, and my gentle cleanser, and my glycolic acid exfoliator...

But my skin is really dry, which is weird... lol.. my skin is schizophrenic... lol..

Sometimes dry, and very rarely moistened... if it is too dry it will sometimes brake out, but if I put a moisterizer on it, it sometimes cloggs my pores(chin), mostly my pores, are open, cause I have harmonal irregularties.. but I won't get into all of that...

Back to you loveme1980... you deem knowledgeable on the nature at hand... and I like /appreciate your info...

And it is funny, I just got off a forum, talking about the clean and clear oil free advantage(and I was thinking great, a good moisterizer I can mix my mono with,lol.. ) and you say it is good?

Cool I think I will go with that for my face and mono mix... do you add an alcohol with it, some say it makes it work better? But I think alcohol is bad for the skin , right?
Then I will add the vitamin c. serum, if it won't clogg my pores, next I will hopefully find a non pore clogging spf... can you recommend any?

Also, some on that forum were talking about making their own moisterizer, from PURE GLYCERIN, 1 DROP, AND 4-5 DROPS OF WATER... OR MORE DEPENDING ON THE QUANTITY, OF SIZE YOU WOULD NEED... being I will get a pound of mono, I won't to make one hughe jar for my facee(either the clean and clear, or the other you have mentioned.. and the mono) and one for my body... which I really don't mind what I use to mix with mono for my body... what do you use... could you use a glycolic acid lotion, or would that be too much?

Help loveme1980, you know what you are doing!

THANKS!

Also, LOVEME1980, IS MONO WATER SUBTLE, CAN IT MIX WITH WATER & GLYCERIN?

CAUSE THIS DEEMS, A COST EFFECTIVE ROUTE...

AND HOW IN THE HECK DO YOU PUT VITAMIN C. SERUM ALL OVER YOUR BOD... ARE YA RICH ?LOL... LOL...

Also, the other site you posted about making cosmetics looks really good... might have to take a look at it!

Lastly loveme1980, i will pm you i have some personal questions regarding your mono journey, cause i am placing my order next week, and i like advice!

Thanks, and much l.o.v.e!!

To Sheralcrow:

There are tons of people who have not completely depigged

It just depends on how much mono you use

If you use 20% or higher continuously after your desired shade

You MIGHT completely depig

But if you use 20% or lower you will surely not

I have found Vitamin C powders which are for food. Would I be able to use that for my skin or do I have to purchase one which is exclusively for the face?
I have also found a serum in a shop which is a bit cheap. It says 12% Vitamin C. Is that OK?

Hi, I am new here and wanted to know if anyone can Pm or email me a good source to obtain . I found a few sources online but, I think so far lovie1 seem to have a good source. I have read all threads for the past few days about Monobenzone but, still not sure which source is good and I am not looking to spend a lot of money. I would appreciated if someone respond. Thanks!

Umm.. not true sorry..

If you use mono 3-4 months... your skin will repig if you stop.. definitely

If you want to go white.. you have to keep killing melanin..

If you use mono as a skin lightener you can get some shades lighter... but you can easily get back your normal skin color under sun expose..

I experienced it first hand..
