I tried it for like a month
First 2 weeks 5 %
Last 2 weeks 10%
I see changes.. the skin peels and everything..
But its just hard to live like that... to feel the burning everyday to suffer from the dryness and the wrinkles every day ///
You can't move walk stright nothing... you feel like a monster... and for what..
Anyway I decided to make jar of 50% mono.. and to apply it only one day in a week..
That's it... the rest I'll leave to god...
Peace.
If I was you I would stop using that particular "mono" all together. What about acutal mono prescribed from a doctor, I doubt you would have the level of burning .net products cause. Their products are stearic acid and say right on the jars.
Mono is very slow process, it takes months even years, once a week will take forever, may be you will be light in the next life! Lol
o.k let me explain why and how I got to this conclusion
I used 5 % and after only 5 days my skin became "dead" dry and dark and it started to peel
And when I put mono on it my skin didn't really absorb it and it felt like I'm wasting the mono for nothing... so I stopped
And for 2 weeks now my skin is still peeling...
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It seems right to wait till I'll get clear skin and then to put mono 20%
And then wait again for it to peel (1 week)..
Hi sara_uk I'm also from the uk and I'm new on this forum I'm interested in using mono but I'm scared of the side effects it would have on my dark skin. I've been reading all the threads since April and I'm wondering is it possible for over sea supplier of monobenzone to be shipped to london. Where in the uk do you live and did you have any problems getting mono from over sea. I know a lot of people on here are scared to be labeled as sellers so they don't really say their source I don't blame them, but I'm soooo deperate to know where you purchased yours from and how is it going so far with the whole mono experience. I don't know how this forum stuff workes but you culd give me a privite message I would have done the same but I don't know how.Quote:

Before you decide buying it, research the idea and make sure that what you want, how dark are you? As the patches will be less comparable with light person.
There are a lot of issues to consider, some take longer than others, some get more patchy than others, some got sensitive skin and even with small % their skin will refuse to accept it.
Mono is not lightning product, it will make you white, some become stark white and others just white, you can not stop after your reach desired shade, as mono will continue working on the other cells.

May be do peel as well, I use glycolic acid peel 12% lotion, and that is helping with peeling the dead skin.
Thank you sara_uk, I must be doing the right thing then because I'm using the same reserch method as you and I'm only sticking to pharmaceutical manufacturer in china...Quote:

But I don't want to start until I'm in my 20s because by then I'll have a secure job erning enough so that my use of mono will not be distrubed or halted. But again I've hurd the horror stories with this drug and I'v decided their very useful because there must have been something they are doing very wrong like not diluting or using the right mixture or not even buying the real stuff. There's not even a lot of info on the web for this stuff just people who want to sell and forums...
Hi original spa, I was lucky that when I first started there was a girl who did a lot of research on it, and she seem to know a lot about the stuff. Anyway that girl got in the bad side of the forum's owner as most the mono forums is originated by sellers to fake mono, so she left and started her own forum, I went with her and another nice lady, we made really nice forum with a lot of information covering the mono issue BUT that forum owner think got total depig and just left the forum, no where to be seen, so no one new can register but there are quite few of us that visit that forum. It is shame that no one new can access it but it has everything about mono, the scientific section, the emotional side of it, methods of making the cream, sources and a lot of progress pictures. That why, I am here as that forum got quite now, and I would like to share my experience with others who needs it, as I know how frustrating it can be.
So have you decide when you starting mono?
Hi sara_uk, I started to use the mono a month ago with two different mixing recipes. I used 20% first for a week then I got red rushes and irritation. So, I stopped using it for a week. Then, I started again with 5% mono. Again, I got rushed and irritation after a week of use. I am ready to give up mono and see your post here. Please help me with how you mix the mono ? You can PM me if you want. Thanks a lot in advance :).
Hi there are a lot of methods, I have been changing and testing but I used this to start with from some one in the forum but I changed it slightly.
Sara’s method 1
20% Mono powder.
3% I used IMS, (Industrial Methylated Spirit) from my laboratory at work.
15% Aloe Vera Gel:
20% Ambre Solaire SPF 30 milk: I think I used this
42% GarnierGarnier hydrolock with 5% hydro urea: very nice lotion
Then the IMS is very drying plus the amber sloaire has vit E which is no good with depig. So I changed it to
Sara’s method 1 modified.
20% Mono powder.
5% hand sanitizer: to dissolve mono powder
15% Aloe Vera Gel: This is different from pure Aloe Vera juice, which has texture nearly indistinguishable to water.
60% Garnier hydrolock: nice moisturizing lotion that combats the side effect of dryness.
Some one else suggested using Vaseline Moisture Locking lotion, I try this but I did not like it as much, this how the lotion will look like, it will keep your body moisturised.

This is a method that been used by a lot of people with great results, I am not sure if the lady want her name posted so I call it
Mystery lady method
20% Pure Micro Mono Powder
20% Regular lotion (use a good brand, but not necessary to go too expensive.)
20% SPF 30+ Sunblock (UVA/UVB): A Sunblock is a product with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
20% Pure Raw Shea Butter
10% Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer
10% Commercially Sold Aloe Vera gel
The only problem I found with this that the shea butter get solidified at room temperature, otherwise it was great, I will play with that method and see if I can use it again, because by far it was the best method.
I used the mystery lady method (I got it from a friend). But, I got irritated and red rushes with 20% and 5%. May be too many actives in that mixture. I will try 3% next and that will be my final try. Thanks a lot for your BIG help!!
Dam that forum would have been really helpful that's sooo sad that no one new can join bacause I haven't seen any pics of mono users before except for the horrar ones:(
Well this forum is helpful tooo I'm so glad your from the uk that means I can definitely get mono overseas yay. Well I'm not going to use it just yet, I'll start using mono in my 20s or after uni.. some where in the future. For now I'm just researching and learning I read something once when I started thinking about this skin lightening ( own personal reasons) and she said something like color is only skin deep. This touched me really deep.
Made me think yah mono might be the way...
Supper Shallow, let us know how you're doing with 50%... Hope the best for you. I'll let you know how am I doing with 3% too...
Hi best of luck, there were two forum members who had that problems, I will see what they have done, one lady she is almost done, I think she was using 10% and she looks so lovely now after 9months. I remember she had a lot of issues with mono, I will see her method and post it for you.Quote:

Sara_uk,
This is awesome that you are here to help us with mono and it seems that your intentions are honest. I have been also researching monobenzone for quite sometime and have been to a lot of different forums. Some of which, the people there were just trying to promote their products and weren't very honest. In the past, I have been ordering the 99% monobenzone powder from an US company but had the hardest time getting it to dissolve without flakes. I used the mortar and pestle system in order to micronize it. So, now I just have it made into a cream by a pharmacy. I hope that you stay on this forum and continue to help.
sara_uk, I am with clueless2008 :). Please stay on here and help us whenever you can. Thanks again.
I know how u feel.
I burned my neck a month ago. Its botchy because I exfoliated too aggressively.
With the papaya bleaching soap. Ouch.
I still burn even if I don't put anything on it.
Except vaseline. Now the mono BA mix is stinging behind my knee caps. I look burned.
I set out to give these products 4 months. I was warned about MONO. Its true! It will give u spots & blotches. The burning & itching is wearing me down. I understand how u feel SuperShallow. Ditto!
My final mixture is:
Mono 4oz (powder)
BA 4oz (powder)
MSM 2 oz (powder)
2 oz of lotion Palmers coca butter.
2 oz hot water .
I'm still irrated from the mono burn so I don't put this on my neck. I can only tolerate the acid soap once a week. Yep I still itch & burn in the old burn areas. LOL

Yes mono will get you blotched but eventfully you will get there, some people’s skin is very sensitive so they need to start low, and listen to the skin, do not add drying agent like alcohol etc.
As I said trial and error here, I did try to use the pestle and mortar too but it was not good idea, plus you are not spouse to inhale the mono dust, very dangerous. Instead I used coffee grinder, after you grinded it, wait for the dust to settle before opening it, it was nice powdered mono.Quote:

And now 2 weeks everything is just fine... I believe it's the right way..
You're not supposed to be hurted and dameged by this product//
We need to take it easy..
My skin peels.. I see resulrs... 1shade for now... and its all just fine!
Good for you super, I am just using kojic acid soap only now, it exfoliates the skin great but no significant lightening
Super,
Are you getting brighter w/ that weekly application ?
I may have made it too strong but at the time I burned myself I found a mixture w/ nail polsh remover, 2 bottles of suncreen,2 bottles of radiance cream, etc
So since then I haven't burned the like that I don't use all those things. :-)
Super Shallow, thanks for your update. I almost give up on mono based on your experience. Please keep us updated.
Nsil polish remover sounds super scary to me
Oh yea,
It burned my neck I have large bright blotches on my neck both sides.
I told my friend it was a birth mark! She said on both sides?
I found the mixture & followed it. I have since discovered that person knows the companies owners.
So that 2 bottles of this, & 2 bottles of that is buy more buy more buy more.
I'm sure it was a kick back some where for them.
Well u live & learn right?$$$$$$$$$$
I don't care if someone is a sellers. I'll buy it if it'll work. The lying about their progress is wearing on me & a few others. (depig.com)
mepk5, I agreed. That's why I don't follow all instructions, I'll go and find out all items in the recipe and judge it myself. I only try the recipe with all "cleared" items. Even for only a small amout since I had been hurt with bad recipes. I am very cautious now, lower % of mono with lotion only. Will see how it goes. Slow is OK, but, not irritation and burn.
Well,
Hard headed me!!
I raised or kept the % mono but cut out the other stuff

Sara,
You are so right.
I know what you saying but the problem is people are desperate, and others abuse that. If someone is selling fine but with my experience with mono most sellers who promote their business in lightening forums are scam. The above forum is perfect example, some post their experience like it is genuine but a lot lie, I was in the old forum, and the friends of the site owener always seem to be using the product he is selling. There is a girl promoting BA now, and how she is been using it for 2yrs, I swear she was promoting mono in the old forum :confused:Quote:

It was her recpie I followed! We live & learn!! $$$$ Now No one knows who to trust.
I undertsand people not wanting to share their suppliers. Cause someone will say it doesn't work. Just to get the business. I'm done in Jan I'm out of products then so that is that ! LOL
I am sorry mepk5 but do not give up, what most newbie do is they rush things, they hear marketer and think product is good, if you Google these people name you will see a lot of red flag. This site provide unbiased advice too, and if you research mono that site comes up.
Best of luck
With skin lightining it's a lifelong process and commitment because the skin rejuvinates itself every 28 days.
