    Hi guys... Just made my first batch of 5 oz mono here is what I mixed.. I'm guessing this must be around 15 % strength.. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM??

    - 1/2 tablespoon monobenzone powder ( pale white ) 100 per cent
    - approx. 2 oz of hand sanitizer.. mixed in small amount of very hot water...
    - then mixed the two and added about 10 gms of retin a .5 per cent
    Then added JERGENS lotion about 4 ounces of it... and mixed properly...


    Applied it once last night and once today morning..


    CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF I NEED ANY DIFFERENT MIX OR SOMETHING TO ADD OR DELETE FROM THIS ?

    HOW MUCH IS THIS STRENGTH ANY IDEA HELP... IM GUESSING ITS ABOUT 15 PER CENT ?

    Hi Needtolighten, I use the following recipe to make a 20% lotion. I then mix the lotion with my own body lotion to get a 5% lotion because 20% irritates my skin. The progress is slow on 5% but it's woking for me. Hope it helps.

    - 20% mono powder
    - 20% pure raw shea butter (melt the shea butter, do not microwave it)
    - 10% hand sanitizer
    - 20% plain lotion 20% (e.g. vaseline)
    - 10% pure aloe vera gel
    - 20% spf 30+ sunblock (use hight spf for Summer)

    Be careful
    Put 2 small tablespoons mono in the 5 0z jar
    Put 2 tablespoons hot hot water.. mix it! Mix it really hard!
    And fill the rest of the jar with lotion..
    And you got the cream... its like 17-20%

    NOW LISTEN!
    BEFORE YOU APPLY THIS CREAM.. PUT SOME OLIVE OIL ON YOU OR ALMOND GLOW!
    AND THEN APLLY THE MONO CREAM!! ITS VERY Important!
    READ!

    needtolighten, I think it is less than 10% since 1/2 tablespoon mono in a 4 oz lotion is 10%. Yours is 5 oz.

    needtolighten, mono is dangerous, but if you watch your skin and start SLOW... you'll be OK. I started with a 20% and got irritate within 2 weeks. I reduced to 10%, still irritated in the third week. I then reduced to 5%, then 2.5%. After a month of 2.5%, I increaded to 5% and so far so good. 5% starts to give me result after 3 weeks. Make sure your skin is NOT dry and looked healthy. Stop the mono lotion for a day or two, if your skin is not feel normal. Never use higher than 20%. Stop using it when you skin starts to look bad. I am in my second month of 5% and so far so good. Again, start SLOW and "listen" to your skin. After all it's your skin, LOL.

    needtolighten, I have a very sensitive skin and I don't use anything with mono lotion. Yes. My skin have been visibly lighter then before. My husband notices it too. I use it once a day only in the morning. I put mono lotion on my cleaned skin then sun block lotion on top of it after 1/2 an hour. It took two weeks to start seeing results. I got darker in the first week, but am now about 1-2 shade lighter. I moisturize my skin in the middle of the day and at night with a good body moisturizer. I exflo. Twice a week. I also take Vit. C twice a day. I think every skins are different and you just have to find a good % of mono and a good procedure for your skin. I almost gave up on mono since it irritated me so badly. But, I have so much of the mono powder and have studied a lot about it, just can't give up eassily. I am glad I can use it without irritation now and seeing result even it is slow. I started in Oct. 07, on for a week and off for a couple, re-adjusted mono %, tried again... I can now use 5% for a month without any problem. It works finally. My skin not only lightern it up but also even it up so nicely. I may try the 10% after another month. Again, be patience, careful with mono, take your time and find a good % and procedure for your skin. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN :)...

    Cool..

    Well I am of asian descent and up to now I have had many arabs asking me if I am arab or pakistani from time to time...

    The monobenzone hasn't really done much yet but I'm happy it hasn't really darkened me all that much this time..

    In fact I had a girl telling me how pink my skins gotten in the last few days.. usually I'm in the higher yellow side of skin texture..


    I noticed in the mirrors compared to people that my skins pinker mostly because of the lemon rubbing I sense and then applying the monobezone..

    But it was definitely darker than before.. although my fingers the knuckles seem darker than usual I'm figuring the remianing areas have lightened causing this effect.

    Can't say anything right now

    I think maybe not apply that often like 2-4 times a week seems that the skin is kind of traumatized right now and you need to take it easy to help it regain itself.

    Slow and steady is always the best way to go with whitening in my opinion, you'll get to your dream color in time
