    True. Generic would be a wiser choice. What was the average price you paid for yours and for how many ounces?

    I feel the same thing mstve happened ot me.. I have been using mono for over six months and its not helping me ... at all ! my concentration is 10 per cent in the last two months 20 and its still not working ..

    It's possible that your body may react differently. For myself however, I've concluded that by using a separate maintainer such as Arbutin, it will work effectively.

    The tyrosinase inhibiting properties prevent actual melanin from forming, while the mono in smaller proportions will hopefully "convince" my body that melanocytes should remain inactive as they are "attacked", without triggering an immunity within them. (Using small doses as not to trigger a rapid resistance.)

    Good news is that I've received all the necessary ingredients to test this theory. I'll be posting news soon enough.
