    Skin Whitening with Benzyl-Arbutin
    I'm wondering if benzyl-arbutin is a good skin whitening (not lightening) product. If you've seen my previous posts you know that I am desperate to depig ASAP. So does the $50 benzyl-arbutin do the job to make look as if I was born white and help me to depig as quick as possible with no skin damage? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    jammixmaster,

    As I mentioned in a previous post, as far as I am aware there has been no one on this forum who has used this product and shared any results. I have also checked on other forums and still found no one who has used it. It may be a product that you may have to try yourself and hopefully you will be happy to say how you get on, whether it is good or bad.

    Good Luck

    Well I decided not to purchase the benzyl-arbutin. I purchased Belo Essentails Blue Whitening set.

    The herbal inn site has been down for a few days. Don't know if this is a temporary problem or whether the company are no longer trading.

    I wish there was more info on BA. I've done a lot of searching but it seems it's mostly questions that people have and no answers, lol... The only website that seem to have some info on it is down... This is just great... :rolleyes:

    Barry 101,

    Are you a member of that forum, as usually access to those forums are restricted to members only and it is very difficult to join them.

    If you are a member would you mind posting a message on the board asking if they know anything about the herbal inn site being down. Thanks

    mellowkat,

    Have they mentioned that the herbal inn site is down.
  • Mar 15, 2008, 10:38 AM
    mellowkat
    Yes they have

    But they said it has happened more than once and reopened again

    MellowKat, do you know if these people who have great result had Vit or were using it for cosmetic reasons? Also, is herbal Inn the only place to purchase BA? I saw someone posted that BA from herbal inn doesn't work... :rolleyes:

    I have never used BA, but that is what most of them use on depig. Some of them are previous mono users who have had major problems with it. Most of them buy the powder and mix it themselves. The herbalinn site has been down before, but it always comes back. I have used mono myslef, but I am already white, so I do not get any weird white spots. I am going to try benzl because mono is no longer available.

    They all have used it for cosmetic reasons and some people vit reasons after bad results from mono

    Thanks mellowcat for replying. I registered with the forum and read a few posts and yeah, some people had really good results. I couldn't find anyone complaining about side-effects like with mono. In fact they used it to correct damage done by using mono.

    I think I'll try it in very low % and see. I'll have to wait for herbalInn to be back online to buy it from them. :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know if there's any problem receiving it in the UK?:confused:

    I thought someone said Benzyl-Arbutin does not exist, and it is a scam

    Don't know if it's a scam or not Muna.:confused: But people from the forum mentioned on page one seems to have great results without side-effects with it. I guess we wouldn't know until someone try.

    Is anyone here using it or intend to try it?

    I know I thought that too since it isn't in the chemical index

    Which means it must be called something else

    And it is... I was reading on this forum what it's really called and the real name of it is long

    DEPIG.forumup.com :: Index

    On that forum there are people who have bought the powder from herbalinn and they even have pics from their results

    But muna I will research a little more on this

    I might try it but I want to know if anyone has tried raw arbutin powder

    Well I decided not to try benzyl-arbutin. I just purchased Belo Essentials Blue Whitening set. I've only heard good things about so I'm going to try it, hopefully it works.
