Well it takes extreme diligence to get to white skin color-- not really quite there yet.

For me I just exofoliate and take plenty of Liquorice (Extract, dietary supplements, etc, soap.)

Arbutin-- can't really get my hands on this stuff because of the price. It does however
inhibit melanin.

Arbutin can classfy Alpha-arbutin and beta-arbutin.

Arbutin (beta-arbutin)is a natural double action whitening agent.

Arbutin (Beta Arbutin) is a new type of skin de-pigmentation and whitening agents, an extract of Bearberry plant which produced by a solid /liquid extraction, an environmentally friendly process .

Arbutin used in cosmetic industry:

Arbutin protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals, Arbutin is a skin whitening agent which is very popular in Japan and Asian countries for skin de-pigmentation, Arbutin inhibits the formation of melanin pigment by inhibiting Tyrosinase activity.

Arbutin is very safe skin agent for external use which does not have toxicity, stimulation, unpleasant odor or side effect such as Hydroqinone.The encapsulation of Arbutin constitute a delivery system to potentialize the effect in time. It is a way to incorporate the hydrophilic Arbutin in lipophilic media. Arbutin give three main properties; Whitening effects, anti- age effect and UVB/ UVC filter .

Arbutin in medical use:

Back in the 18th century, Arbutin was first used in medical areas as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. Arbutin was used particularly for cystitis, urethritis and pyelitis. These uses still until today where natural medicine uses only natural ingredients to treat any disease.

Also arbutin may be used to repress the virulence of bacterial pathogens and to prevent contaminating bacteria, it is also used for treating allergic inflammation of the skin . More recently, Arbutin has been used to prevent pigmentation and to whiten the skin beautifully. In the meanwhile, arbutin can be used to whiten the skin, to prevent liver spots and freckles, to treat sunburn marks and to regulate melanogenesis.

Papaya Soap (Just the cheap ones at the drugstore)- I just use this in the shower let it sit and it basically exofoliates.

Vitamin C- 1,000 mg a day. Rosehips?

SunBLOCK not Sunscreen

Umbrella Lol.

Drink plenty of water and some detox method.

The creams/serum I use is 55H+ I don't know if it works-- kind of does but its pretty decent price.

---

The thought about Vitamin C though... One time I got sick so I decided to eat a lot of tangerines and Vitamin C, it did something weird :D . Instead of making me feel better it made my skin whiter. I don't know if I was just sick or it was actually the vitamins.

Whatever it was it looks nice. =D

Sometimes I can't tell how white I get because I'm from Asian descent. However I've been staying in at home quite often and this method is pretty good and practical.
I've gone 1 1/2 shades lighter from this habit.

Monobenzone.com, sell raw scientific mono material you can mix with lotion to make a 40% u need to depigment
I get it in 2-3 days and have been depigmenting for a year and a half, almost done now, so I know it works.

Warning the india and china are a scam, there is a china person going under different names in china, its not monobenzone it's a scam powder they ship just to get your $

Hi S Caroline,
I bought that some time ago, but haven't really used it much. I got white patches in the creases of my neck after a few uses. The smell is so strong now do you mask it or do you only use at night? Let me go on the record as saying I AM NOT ENDORSING the above named website. I kind of think it might work but I'm still not really sure. I use the one from the pharmacy for now. I want to try it again though I hope to mix it better next time. Will keep you posted.

You have no idea what you are talking about.. I think YOU are scam..

China and india are the main sources for monobenzone.. so shut up... something like you should be punished..

People say monobenzone.com is scam..

Monobenzone.com/depig.com

ARE A SCAM!!

I feel sorry for anyone who wasted their money on those products

Ive been using mono for about a month and a half.. and I do see a difference. This is mostly because I used glutathione and I used glutathione soap for a little while as well. I am soon going to invest in more gluta, kojic soap, and I will buy arbitum when my monobenzone runs out.

The benefit in all this is not just whiter skin.. but looking younger as everyday passes!! :)

Not to be funny, but mono seems to be drying up. Does anyone know where you can buy it premixed. I am not a chemist and I know the tubes are OK
N

@nlightened: mono will definitely make your skin dry.. doesn't matter if you use the tubes from a pharmacy or mix your own mono..

dry skin is something that happens to everyone during the use of mono.. =)

Mono_attention, could you send me pm?

Hey lovie1 I sent you a message but I'm posting another in case you don't get the first I'd like to see your pics if you don't mind my email is [email protected]

Physically I doing really well.. I eat junk food and smoke like a chimney.. but my skin remains bright, radiant and fresh. Yes Lovie1 my skin is lightening.. I compared my skin colour to my cousin who has always been lighter than me.. I am now lighter than him. And that is to be amazed in this heat.. and I tan so easily just from driving around in the car. I am getting lighter at a short amount of time, and I appreciate the changes. I feel like a completely different person. I hope more people can engage in this...

I had a dream.. I was at a table of people... and they told me about the UNDP.. no.. Not the United Nations Development Protocol.. it's the United Nations Depimentation Protocol.. and it starts from a few days ago! Let us all feel the empowerment of having the skin-lightness we desire without critism from others.

Shanu Ill post pictures when I'm a bit lighter. Xxox

That is wonderful, Vahid. Do please keep us updated on your progress.

Hi there,

I am writing to you all from a television production company based in Leeds, England, UK. We are developing an idea for a TV documentary about the skin bleaching phenomenon and are in the early stages of research at the moment. I would be very interested in hearing from you as I see that some of you have been using a permanent product that has changed the colour of your skin. And also from those of you who haven't used anything but are looking into it. As I said, this is just an idea at the moment and so we are interested in things like: the reasons people bleach their skin, the products, the dangers, the benefits, the after-effects etc. We are hoping to find some individual case studies of people who have bleached their skin for reasons, whether it be to do with discrimination, or just cosmetic reasons. Or people who have not tried but want to. I also need to collect some medical facts and opinions about surgery that can bleach ones skin.

Any information you can offer would be great and very much appreciated. You can email me on [email protected] or if you would prefer to talk, then my number is 0044 113 222 8369.
It's probably best not to contact me through this post as I'm not sure when I will next check this forum.

Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon,

Regards,

Rachel Breckner

Never use benoquin, it is only for vitiligo, and if you don't suffer from that you will make your skin discolored with white patches!

Lovie is my hero.. I love her results.. I want my skin to be like hers LOL..

I can see lightening of my skin.. but its not that drastic.. people are not asking or wondering why my skin is lighter or something

It seems that 1 kg of mono is not enough to see a difference in my skin tone.. thats why I ordered another package of mono..

Its working.. but you have to be patient

Well I never used arbutin so I can't comment on that. But I use mono. So I can comment on that.

And using mono it would take some years depending on original skin color to become pale white.:) . Start with 10% to see how the skin accustomes it self to mono look for things such as excema, dermatities. then move up in dosage yes mono is a slow process but it's so gradual that the color change can sneak up on you too. :p :p

Pale white means Michael jackson white? M indian and any ethnic person would nt want 2 change completely, just little killing of melonocytes, I hope you understand

N which product of monobenzone 10%? A powder over th counter?

Some people said they also mix some lotion and lemon and stuff, shd v have 2 mix wit 10%?

Same question to monobenzone_attention (hey I have sent you a pm too)

I gat your mail thanks bt could u post th recepie (link) n m still skeptical weather it will make me close 2 albimo and which product and where are your before and aftr pics, people say they saw u

Hey guys, I am african american with milk chocolate completion. Can someone as dark as I am use mono just lighten a 2 shades? Because I am not trying to be white or too pale. My fact is milk chocolate and the rest of my body is a cinnamon to caramel complextion. I just want my face to be the same as my body so I just need to light a few shades. Can I use mono?

Mono won't make you white from one day to another.. lol

It's a long and.. yes painful way!

I don't want to be white like michael jackson.. remember that some people take years and years to completely depig..

So.. I will try to stop when in achieved my goal.. its not easy to control the process..

When I stopped using mono.. I saw that its still working.. I recognized peeling on my arms.. even though I stopped applying..

My advice is to use mono like a normal body lotion... don't focus on skin lightening too much.. it will make you depressed if you see no changes.. lol

Stop when you reached your desired color of the skin... use sunscreen and happy life!

There must be enough melanin left to protect you from the sun.. if you don't completely depig.. so that's what I try..

If I end up with blotches.. I will completey depig..

Cheers


AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO USE MONO FOR YOURSELF. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS HOW MONO ACTUALLY WORKS. I AM USING IT FOR MYSELF. YES. SO FAR NO REGRETS. BUT I Don't WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO SUFFER, IF THEY MAKE BAD EXPERIENCES WITH MONO. IF I MESS UP MYSELF ITS OKAY.

THANKS


I asked a dermatologist.. if he know's benoquin/monobenzone.. he said NO..

But when I answered that its for depigging the skin he answered that I will end up with blotches.. he did not recommend it as well..

Well said:) everybody skin and the experience that one might go through is different from one person to the next.

Hey guys do you remember the brighter skin forum it was this african american girl on there ( named latoya) that used monobenzone she used it for over 3yrs before she completely depigmented . Granted that that was not her original goal..

Also the pakastain guy on there( named sam) used mono for a little over 2yrs and he was depigmented. And he did'nt look like Michael jackson:p :p :p so it varies from person to person.

The experince that are testified here are only individual of that person using it.

Yes. I know the britgher skin forum. There are two brighter skin forums. One is on Yahoo Groups. The other one is accessible for everyone.. without being a Yahoo member..

But her skin looks not too bad.. it looks kind of natural to me.. you can easily see that she was black skinned in the past.. her nose and face have black feautures..

You can find her pictures if you use Google.. try image search.. type in monobenzone..

Her skin looks better than michael jackson's one..

Do you have a link to the picture so I can see?

Latoya used to have pics posted on a forum called monobenzoners proboards but I don't think that forum exists anymore.. for the most part most people are private and secretive about their skin practices. I'm quite sure that there are some people out there other than latoya and sam that have fully depigmented using monobenzone.

Latoya said she used to be the color of pam who played on the TV show 'martin'

I can't say that you can look at her and tell she was dark skin because there are a lot of black people out there that are pale by nature and have strong african features doesn't nessarialy mean that they were dark at first.. that's like saying all black people are dark skin which is utter nonsense.

Both latoya and sam complexions are beautiful (to me) and it took some effort to get there especially on latoya end, coming from one extreme to the next

yeah so true lovie1..

a friend of mine is from jamaica.. she has green eyes and light skin!. that's possible =)

but there were also rumors on the internet... that latoya was albino and such..

I heard that too. But she herself posted on the brighter skin Yahoo group forum that she was that dark. The abino thing came from the fact that she was white skin with african features. And she does look abino. She doesn't look like a white woman.:p

And I joined depig dist before but my membership was cancelled due to insufficient post:p :p but I already know the secreat so I really don't need them. At the point in time I was moving so I could'nt devote myself to the forum. Plus I no longer have the desire to be part of that group. But a good group for starters:)

Monobenzone attention. How long have you been using mono? And what was your complexion to begin with? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm using mono 3 month now.. but I don't apply every single day.. sometimes I'm super busy and don't even have any time off..

But I always do apply when I come back home.. and in the morning.. so at the moment its 2 times a day..

My complexion is the same as yours... maybe a half shade darker.. the weird thing is that my upper part of the body is nearly white/yellowish.. but that's not cause of mono.. its normal..

I do not suffer from vit or something lol..

But I easily get a tan.. if I go swimming! So.. my face, feets, lower body are the same color as yours in the pic.

You can ask me everything..
