    Is Monobenzone SAFE to use on NORMAL (Non-Vitiligo)Skin?
    That is the question.


    He finished depigging and moved on. He owns a forum but is never on there. He is a veteran when it comes to skinlightening. The only forum owner in the lightening field to have shown his pics. People have digs at him because they are jealous like Amber the big fat ugly mamba who owns the Brightskin forum.
    Thank you Branco.

    Hi Sam & Branco!


    There's several people like gloomy123, simmy, ducky, that used monobenzone at least 1-2 years ago that have experienced disfigurement. The new people that are using/selling monobenzone probably think it's safe because they have only been using it for a short while.

    If it's really monobenzone they are buying in the first place.

    By the way, what happened to your message board? I miss it already.
    It's weird that it was deleted the day I posted my most recent photos.

    Someone is very jealous of you and us that post our results photos. I guess.

    Later,

    Entity

    Is that your pic? You look like Michael Jackson! I don't know if that's something people would get jealous of. I am sticking with glut pills and my whitening soaps. I don't want to be pasty. :o

    Basically, everyone on the forum, even the moderator, turned against Herbalinn for their crappy service. People started seeking alternatives to Benzylarbutin (just Bearberry mixed with Arbutin, IMO) which most likely upset Sam, who is a partner of Muna (the owner of Herbalinn). I suspect Herbalinn even sent out Benzylarbutin sometimes, and then Arbutin at other times, as people reported that their powders were different colours occasionally.

    So, basically, depig forum got shut down because it was no longer a promoter for Herbalinn. Some people say that it got closed because there was too much negativity on there (mainly instigated by me and Vicky_D), and that people were jealous of the people who had results. This is untrue, and the people who think this are deluded fools. The fact that the forum just happened to close down as soon as people turned against Herbalinn is proof enough of this.

    I'm disappointed that the forum closed down, because despite the sheer amount of racism being spread around, it was actually very handy for lightening. I preferred it to here because people here are promoting Monobenzone so much, which is DANGEROUS. However, before the forum shut down, a few members provided alternative means for lightening, which was cheaper than Benzylarbutin or Mono, and was entirely home-made. For this, I am thankful, and so no longer need the ridiculous depig forum.

    One of the members (allu, I think) mentioned the skinactives website as a supplier of Bearberry and Arbutin. I browsed the site a bit, and found that they have several skin lightening chemicals. They're quite cheap, but only come in small quantities. Buying a group of these and then mixing them into one multi-lightening cream would yield better results than using a single chemical such as mono or BA, and since it's home-made you wouldn't have to worry about HQ or any other dangers. I'm going to try that instead of buying from Herbalinn.

    Hey, I did the calculations, and figured that you'd have about enough for a 10% 4oz cream. If you had all of these:

    SKIN ACTIVES ¤ Price (USD) ¤ Amount

    Arbutin ¤ 12.50 ¤ 6gm -

    Bearberry ¤ 7.50 ¤ 10gm -

    Glutathione ¤ 12.50 ¤ 1gm -

    Glucosamine ¤ 3.50 ¤ 5gm -

    Lemon peel extract ¤ 9.50 ¤ 10gm -

    Kojic Acid ¤ 15.50 ¤ 5gm -

    Magnesium ascorbyl phophate ¤ 11.50 ¤ 10gm -

    Base cream ¤ 6.50 ¤ 4 fl .oz

    Jar ¤ 1.00 ¤


    Total: ¤ 80.00 ¤ 47gm


    Note: This is my own personal plan and calculations, so you can play around the ingredients as you want.



    I got all my mixing info from the depig forum, which is unavailable now, but I saved one method onto my computer:

    Ingredients

    All you need is:
    - A measuring cup (ml is a good size)
    -50 ml benzyl (replace this with the lighteners of your choice)
    -50 ml water
    -50 ml alcohol (benzyl and cetyl alcohol are the optimal types, rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer work fine)
    -250 ml of Base
    -100 ml retin-a (if you don't want retin a in your mix, you will add 350 ml of base cream)

    Steps
    1. Pour the water and alcohol into a pot. Bring it to a boil. When it boils, remove it from the heat and wait for about thirty seconds (until the rapidly moving bubbles calm down)
    2. Add the benzyl to the hot water-alcohol mix. Stir it thoroughly, until it has totally dissolved.
    3. In a mixing bowl, add your cream and retin-a. Slowly pour in the hot water-alcohol-benzyl mix. Mix it very thoroughly, using a mixer.
    4. Allow it to cool in the bowl, and then add it to a bottle, and seal it tightly.
    5. Enjoy?

    Miscellaneous
    To make 20%, add 100ml of benzyl, and 200ml of cream.
    To make 5%, add 25ml of benzyl, and 275 ml of cream.

    - Courtesy of Vampyre.


    Note: And YES, you NEED to use alcohol to dissolve the ingredients into the mixture. If you don't, you risk your mixture not absorbing the ingredients, and thus you have a useless pile of chemical mess on your hands.

    "Mainly instigated by me and Vicky_D"? What the hell? I haven't been on that forum in about four months since I was banned! Maybe you've seen my old posts on the forum or something..
