I know she avoided vitamin E totally and the problem got sorted. My friend also told me while depigmnting she used sunblock with vitamin e and got freckles. I know it might not have the same effect on certain people but considering it is giving for repigemntation that make me to avoid it.

So move on with it, because I stopped now for over 3 weeks and avoid Vit E and that might actually do the trick. Thinking of it my Husband warned me to avoid sunscreen and just don't bother going in the sun between 10am - 4pm but I ignored him.. lol

Vitamin E is used to boost repigemntation, something you must avoid while depigmenting.
I don't get it... I don't use mono but if Vit E is used to boost repigmentation... what about lightening?Then why do people who are lightening take vit e pills?? :confused:

@ Violaename - Vitamin E is required for general health. It also brightens and make your skin and hair shine !
That's why ! It will not lighten however!

It is really simple but the idea is with the blender. I use to use solvents but that irritate the skin combined with monobenzone.
So I use powerful mixer to mix my cream, sunblock, and monobenzone , so no grains no bits.

Thanks Sara. I mix mine with a belender as well but one tube inside the Almond Glow lotion. What cream is available in UK without vit E that I can use, I will also mix my sunblock together, great idea.

Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant, it can prevent free radicals from entering the skin and increase cell renewal. Although it does not reduce melanin production, it does exfoliate layers of hyper-pigmented dead skin, where as vitamin C it reduces melanin production and encourages cellular renewal through exfoliation.
Scientist believe that vitamin E can stop the free radical that cause vitiligo, although the mechanism of monobenzone not clearly understood, it seems that it does that. That why derm advice people who are depigementing to avoid vitamin E.
It is also one of the treatments options for repigementation, I am not sure about lightening creams they all have different mechanism of action.
