    i finally got my monobenzone
    1kg 100% monobenzone powder

    and I going to blend it with cream according to this:

    4oz jar
    20% = 15mg so that's like 1 table spoon
    40% = 30 mg that's like 2 tablespoons
    5% = 5 ml so that's like one teaspoon

    goodluck for meee

    Wow thanks for that recipe! I have been searching for a recipe to mix my powder all week. Does anyone know if mequinol can be mixed the same way?

    According to Wikipedia, "Mequinol is a drug used in the treatment of liver spots". Vitiligo patients also use mequinol but it is under the brand name Solage. It is monomethyl ether of hydroquinone. Mequinol stops the action of chemicals in the skin that create pigmentation or darkening. It is suppose to be stronger than hydroquinoine but weaker than monobenzone. It is cheaper than monobenzone and really easy to get from the usa. I have 99% mequinol powder and I am going to mix it with arbutin and maybe some raw green papaya lotion or extract because green papaya can really help your skin exfoliate and lighten. I use the green papaya extract by Splash and it is great. Many Filipinos use papaya to lighten their skin and I think this will be great to add my mixture with the monobenzone also. I plan to start the mequinol on my face @ maybe 10% strength and the monobenzone on my body @ 20% to start with in November. I am too afraid to put the monobenzone on my face. I hope I see results within a month with these products.

    I got my items from a US tradekey seller. But it took like 2 weeks to get the items. She's a chem student that can get the items through her college.

    Super Shallow,
    Does your mono mix come out grainy? How are you crushing up the mono crystals in order for it to dissolve better in the alcohol?

    I'm crushing up the mono with a few hot drops of water and mix it by a teaspoon and when I see that I'm getting small soft dough I add lotion and mix it all hard and slow.. I do it all in 4 oz jar.. no blender no mess no dirt no problems...

    It's been 2 weeks and I'm using 5% only 1 time daily
    I don't see any changes.. and I don't expect to get any for now.. I'm using small dosage just because I want my skin to get use to the mono
    And then after month maybe two I will start with 20% 2 times daily...

    By the way it burns like hell!. only in the face

    I suggest you all.. take it easy and slow.. I think it's the best way to avoid from serious side effects

    Super Shallow, good suggestions. I used 20% before although I saw result in a week but it burned and irritated my skin. I have to stop using it for a week or so. I will use 10% only on my body now. I'll try it on my face after a couple of month later. We all should start slow... Very good suggestion ! Thanks.

    What type of irration? Bumps, rash, blotchiness?

    I got them all.
    I use hydrocortisone on the RASH.
    Anti bacterial oniment too.
    I lay off the mono for a few days.
    I do not exfoliate. Your skin is irrated.
    Did u use nail pollish remover?

    mepk5, I got them all too. I also use hydrocortisone on the rash. I also stop mono for a week now. I use nail polish remover once a while, may be twice a month. Why ?
    My skin is irrated for sure. I will try to get bacterial oiment too. Thanks.
