    If your skin is already light then don't get too scared to use mono. I have used it, my skin is white. It got me lighter, but it is nothing drastic on white skin. On dark skin, whole other story. I got patches of white, but they blended in really well with my natural color. Also, I didn't use it for too long, just two months till I got the result I wanted. Using it for a long time is enough to mess with your natural pigment and in some cases is irreversible. So you have to be careful with how long you use it for.

    4) A kilo of hydroquinone .... havent really started on it properly.... used it for like three days had nice red red skin ..but i think it would settle down and work .. it looked the most effective of the lot... nevertheless i knew it would be so temporarry ... i didnt want to continue.. i will use it as the last resort.
    5) I am currently using a body bleach... been over a weekk.. Not working
    6) I have some leftover benzylarbutin which SURELY doesnt work !


    Lol.. I am a big LOSER.. who cannot achieve his goal !

    Whats hte sense of selling all this ? if it didnt work for me It would be stupid to sell it to others that would be like duping them ...

    Secondly who knows tomorrow if I realise I still wanna continue with mono and find some gr8 recipe, I may regret giving it away...

    You are not a loser, we are all here to learn and exchange lightening strategies. If we had all achieved our goal, most of us would not be up here. Why not read more into mequinol/tretinoine then? That is one of the things that I am trying to do since it can be reversible when used at low doses, as well as permanent when used at 20% I believe and will depig the skin.

    all the chinas sites buy from them
    mono.net buy from them or from the chinas that buy from them..

    in usa they got strict terms and rulls for selling chemicals..

    click 4-(benzyloxy)phenol USP
    OR MONOBENZONE
    They only sell for industry or companies,they don´t sell for individual buyers.

    I believe that,but what I want is something permanent,everlasting.
    HQ gave me good results,but the results are reversible,I don´t to use this all my life in order to maintain the results.

    It's been proven that monobenzone doesn't guarantee a permanent skin lightening or even depigmenting solution. It works by increasing melanin excretion, and possibly harming/destroying melanocytes. Your body continually produces new cells (not as many when it comes to melanocytes however) as old ones die, regardless of whether they may be as active or not.

    As for barry101, well said. Your skin's melanin content actually does work in layers, and monobenzone's results are actually similar but more drastic that other skin lighteners like hydroquinone, etc. If you look very closely, you'll notice that your skin lightens in patches no matter what; those of monobenzone's effect are just a bit larger and faster. The melanin particles closer to the melanocyte in general will lighten much later than any existing melanin away from the cell.

    Depends the areas you want to apply.

    For now,I´m just using on my face,which tube contain 20g.
    I bought 3 tubes, more or less they last for 3 months(which means one tube for one month +/-).

    Of course if you want to use in larger areas,you gone need more product,my advice is starting in small areas of your body to see the results.

    Regards.

    Yes I do.
    First I saw the same darkening efect as your friend,but now after 50 days of use,my skin is slightly white then before.

    Till now no side efects,but I guess some of those side efects are related with the skin complexion,I mean; people with dark skin will get more problems using mono,most common are patches.
