    There is no chemical named "benzylarbutin" in this world..

    Someone invented that name.. that's what I think lol

    Try wikipedia or something.. type in benzyl arbutin.. there is no chemical conjunction..

    That's WEIRD HUH?

    Monobenzone (benoquin) is the Monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone, and Benzylarbutin is the Monobenzyl ether of arbutin, 1 company named herbalinn or smethng sells it also in 5% n 20

    There is no such thing as benzyl arbutin. One company sells the raw active. One or 2 other really bad companies may have BA in their products.

    Herbalinn calls their powder "Arbutin Monobenzylether" so, that would be Arbutin but then other sites like the depigforum calls this product: Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside which is very expensive else where like sciencelab.com: Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside * 13343-62-9 every where online this product is so expensive so why would they sell 100% BENZYL ARBUTIN POWDER (8 ounce) for $200 dollars? In reality... they are really selling raw arbution powder which we can purchase online 1 kg for $125 dollars. Now, it it is indeed they are selling "Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside" 8 ounces for $200 dollars... something is wrong with that picture.

    According to answers people have left for my questions, benzyl-arbutin doesn't work and herbalinn is a scam. I myself don't know for sure, but nearly everyone is saying the same thing, so I'd stay away from the benzyl-arbutin

    No such thing as benzyl-arbutin, this is probably a company that made up a name for some chemical. BUT there is a such thing od alpha- arbutin or just arbutin and it is wroth looking into :D

    Well so far my studies with mono are going excellent. But I will look into alpha-arbutin though. Thanks for the info

    Im using BA from herbal inn now, it is lightening just fine. It does work, just takes some time if you're starting with dark skin.

    What's your before and after color like? How long did it take to get that color ?

    Im a medium brown. The product took me to a slightly lighter shade, but I had to wait 10 days for the next order and went back to my original color. I don't think I will order from Herbal inn again. It takes way to long for their product to arrive. Im going to mono now. Ill use a lower percentage. What are you using?

    Hey missj

    I'm am currently using 20% mono. I have 5% ba that I am just starting to use because some people are ranting about it. Right now am going through the peeling stage and my face is lightening.
