    I Have Decided to DO IT
    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"


    Monobenzone Cream 20% - 60% - MAC - SHIFA Monobenzone Ltd.



    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.

    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

    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?

    How does monobenzone powder look like?how does it taste?does it look like salt crystals or refined powder?
  • Jan 14, 2010, 03:45 PM

    Does purest monobenzone taste like tangy sour?
  • Jan 14, 2010, 04:19 PM
    Golden_Girl

    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
