    Super Shallow
    The end of my Monobenzone jorney
    I'm not going to use mono anymore
    Its not worth it
    I don't want to be on this stuff for the rest of my life its sick
    I don't afraid anymore from losing the color I achieved
    I just don't like the feeling I got from it.. like always hiding the fact I'm using that sh*t.. to be afraid from the sun..
    So that's it.. what ever will be will be..

    Good luck to you guys I'm done
    Don't use mono
    Peace

    Thanks super shallow,

    Mono is not an easy option, I only used mono for not more than 6 weeks in total before I stopped for more than a year.

    During that brief period I have sections on my body that depiged totally, which means I either finish off my monobenzone journey or stay patchy for life.

    Best of luck super shallow

    Sarah, what is your original color? Do you have vitiligo or are you using mono just for lightening? When you say depigged totally, do you mean like really white? Or just lighter than your natural color?

    Depig means terminating the production of melanin totally and completely... Yes,it means she will be WHITE.

    Yes you are right, although there is a risk of repigmentation in some areas.

    Y'all, I think the fear of monobezone is the beginning of wisdom for those who do not want to totally depig. Please!

    You are right, that why I keep saying if you don't want to depig do not touch mono. I might sound like broken record lol but how many people have to ask, would I get patches? I am only using it for a bit?
    How about lower percentage?

    I even made a blog about it lol if you decide to use mono you have to be sure you want to depig completely, or don't go near it. Repigmentation is very hard for some areas.

    Super shallow is very nice guy he does not want mislead people and he made several posts warning people

    @ super shallow - I think your being unfair.. I know you struggled with mono and its pros and cons.

    But the colour you now have achieved has been giving you more attention and has made you happier.

    And now you are trashing the product. You don't really want people to use it so they don't lighten up and stay the way they are.. Now your beginning to become slightly selfish.

    I don't believe what your saying this time super shallow.
    I know your leading a much happier life post lightening

    Give the guy a break, mono is not for everyone. He is been honest with his experience. You have to be very strong emotionally to deal with mono, I had positive results from it but I will not encourage anyone to use it.
    Do you want to be misled by false claims then get shocked when you live with it.

    My goal is to completely depig. I was born very pale, but due too much exposure to sun, I have tanned very dramatically. Since I'm positive my facial features will support the new contrast. By using mono will this be achievable?

    Lol words of wisdom here, yes monobenzone will depigment the skin, there are risks of stubborn areas which might refuse to depigment even for vitiligo patients that risk exist. Oh and if you scared of been patchy don’t touch mono

    imgorgeous. I don't think that he is trying to be selfish. I think that he is being very genuine and doesn't want others to make the same mistake that he did. Call him selfish if you like... But I recommend that everyone stays away from mono unless that have vitiligo.

    Post lightening imgorgeous not post depigmenting.
    So he hasn't said don't lighten.

    Not sure though if your life gets better because you lightened.
    It's a cosmetic practice.just like dyeing your hair and doing your nails. Its just feels good to you.
