    Stop using whatever caused the spots, mono should be used so carefully. Try using some peels to remove the spots. Good luck

    Super shallow the same thing is happening to me, from my understanding, continue to use your monobenzone and that stage should pass, I think its just temporary. I learned the hard way by going to the doctors and using lots of lightening cream with no luck.
    Don't worry the stage will pass, just keep on using it and keep us updated with your progress. Good luck.

    Deeo are you sure?
    It's happened to you with MONOBENZONE?
    And did this stage pass alredy?

    Anyway you can read my earlier posts.. I updated all of my stages with monobenzone from the beginning till now...
    At first my skin was dry and darker
    Then it peeled and became more and more lighter with spots with patches.. and slowly my skin became even.. and the last year my face was beautiful clean clear and bright.. and now I see those ugly black spots all over my face... I don't get it...
    Are you sure that's what has happened to you too?

    Super shallow repigemntation is a risk can happen but are you sure you used pure mono to get to that stage? If you didn’t then the lightening can be temporary, and you get spots back.
    If it was real then you need to continue using it, what strength are you using? Avoid vitamin e products that will defiantly hinder the progress.
    Mine has been easy sailing so far but I know everyone is different. No repigemntations spots and my patches has evened out.

    If you didn’t depig totally and stopped mono then you are giving your meloncytes to fight back.

    Check your lotion does it have vit e, another name for vitamin E is Tocopherol
    . I know of a case where they had severe repigemntations and it turned out she used lotion contains Vitamin E.
    Vitamin E is used to boost repigemntation, something you must avoid while depigmenting.

    I haven't recovered yet, you can see my picture in the skincare treat but no one has replied as yet for suggestions. I used the mac-remedy and always mixed with Almond glow.

    Sara-UK what do you think, am in uk as well and how can I contact you, that's if you don't mind.

    OMG, I just checked the composition on Almond glow: natural ingredients:
    Peanut Oil - an excellent emollient and lubricant
    Olive Oil - to nourish the skin
    Lanolin Oil - to moisturize and soften

    Vitamin E - to maintain skin's vitality for a healthy complexion all over

    Vitamin E is no no when depigemnting, I saw a case with severe repigementation after general lightning .
    Most sun block contain vitamin E it is so hard to find one that does not. The only two I used
    I used amber solaire silky one, it has to be that specific one as the rest of the brand all have vit e

    Garnier Ambre Solaire Light and Silky SPF 20 Protection Milk 200ml - Boots
    Another one is simple sunblock

    I saw your picture in skin care section but I didn’t understand, you used this Benoquin and what happened?
    You get light then got those these freckles? Or it is that stage where start to spread?
    I am not sure about this mac Benoquin we had a lot of discussion about them here I am not sure if they provide the real one.

    Honestly speaking Mac Benoquin is good but I've always mixed it with The Almond glow lotion which obviously have Vit E and to top it off, my sunscreen has it too.

    My skin was perfect, everyone asked me what I have been doing and wanted to know the secret and all of a sudden, the black spots (freckles) started and it spreading because I was so scared of telling anyone, so started trying different remedies, now am convinced it was the Vit E.

    How long did you use it for? What strength? And how was the results?
