    [email protected]

    I know your opinion for mono because i'm reading you on different subject on this forum since long time. but please try to understand me, i want somme thing permanent.

    Excuse my bad english because i'm from PARIS, FRANCE.

    Thanks.


    Hey I can't believe you want to buy from china after all that's been said about their fake mono? And you don't make sense... first you say you use mono cream from anil, then you say you bought from fair and glow and that you don't have results, but now you do have results and now you want to buy from china? Make up your mind... you sound like your trying to confuse people?

    When I first started using mono, I was using the chinese mono and it wasn't real... the one from 7unite use mono, but mix it with something else which makes you go darker after a while, and you have you keep buying from them because of that. Also the other chinese company kaisen don't use mono at all... they use phenylhydroquinone which is so so dangerous and makes you really sick...
    And the mono from eBay, the 3 percent one is hydroquinone mixed in with mercury... it was tested and that is what it came back as...

    Anyway, I don't know what your choosing to do... but yeah... if you think chinese mono is going to get you anywhere... id think again... but its your choice...

    mj2006,

    What were the names of these Chinese sellers? I think it is important to name the scam companies so other people won’t make the same mistakes. If we keep on hiding the sellers’ identities the same mistakes are bound to be made again by other people and as long as there are buyers of these scam products they will ALWAYS be around!

    I did list the chinese fake sellers... the kaisen aka k-s pharm, and the only monobenzone cream being sold from china on eBay, the 3 % one... 7unite aka amandahitech use real monobenzone in their creams, but they mix in phenylhydroquinone which makes you go darker in the long run... I can't say anything about their powder though... I have only had the cream... And I can't say much for fair and glow yet... I have not tested their stuff... but I must say I'm lightening up pretty good now... but yeah, still feel unsure to whether it is real mono yet or if it is a mix of other chemicals...
    I should be getting my powder from anil in the next couple of days I hope, so when I do that I will get it tested and tell you all what I found...

    Nope I don't have vitiligo. But I look like I do now!
    I can't tell people mono is bad because I seriously don't think so. My skin is messed up because I tried to save money & mixed my own batch. I followed a receipie that I thought the people was honest. Its obvious now they were sellars. My batch had 2 bottles of their product benzarbutin alcohol, sunscreen & a lot of other crap. I was trusting. I got t awful skin now. Everybody knows where I purchased my mono. You will have to read my old posts. The company is taking a hit for its customer service now but I never had a problem. They've even refunded people money but people here still say they are awful. When I got awful HQ they replaced it. I wished depig.co m refunded my money... no such luck!! Yep I now I have the real stuff

    I didn't know you had the real stuff now!
    Could you pm me or email me and tell me where from?
    And any success on the fading of blotches?
  • May 31, 2009, 05:07 PM
    mepk5

    Yes & no.
    The yes is sitting in the sun 45 min perday for a week. The spots on my shoulders & legs now have small brown dots in them. That mean the mono did't kill the melain. So in a week or to the spots should be faded.

    The no is: I got redder around the spots... lol
    My foot remember no spots.

    haiji
    Benoquin in the tube only comes in 20%only.You may can dilute it to 10%.But the monobenzone powder that you can make your own cream,to 10%.Benoquin whitens the skin,not lighten.it's a depigmenting agent..

    Let´s stop all this mambo jambo.

    You guys should post the names of reliable web sites selling mono.

    Tubes from MAC are old stock?well I don´t know,while the exp date not finish,It doesn´t really matter.
  • Aug 26, 2009, 02:44 PM
    imgorgeous

    neptuno who told you about the mac being old stock.. that is actually true...

    Mac when benoquin was closed down... hid huge loads of the product which was then sold in the black market for more money.

    Chemists in india also used to hide and sell for higher prices.. most of the benoquin stock was from 05 to max 06 . And then the boxes were manipulated to increase the expiry dates..

    But then again there may be units of mac still undertaking the prodcution in hiding... so you could never say...

    Many people who purchased from them say their products do not work as well and that they may possibly be diluted with other lightening agents other than what is mentioned. I say the only way to be 100% for certain is to have the product tested for purity.

    I swear I've answered that many times.. Anyhow, it's a mathematical equation, that's all; this ought to make it easier

    Let me know:
    A) How much cream at what percent you are using.
    B) How much you wish to dilute the strength to.

    You'll receive your answer in both grams and ounces if you plan to use a direct lotion or whatnot.

    My tubes have one date of 05-2009(don´t know if the date on the tubes are the exp. Date),but on the box are 2012 exp. Date.

    Can you please look on your tubes to see what's there?

    It seems that the ink/stamp that lists the information was a bit sidestepped, so I'll list it accordingly:

    **
    Mfg Lic No. : G/862
    Batch No. : 05
    MFG Date : 02/09
    Expiry Date: 01/12
    MRP Date : 185.00
    **

    Anyhow, the cream is pretty solid white, which it should be seeing as cream base and monobenzone ought to be white. The cream partially dissolved in 10&#37; Alcohol (All I could find at the time), seeing as it's 20% Monobenzone to begin with.

    I'm most likely going to start using it within the next 24 hours at 5%; and possibly other lighteners such as Arbutin.

    Exactly like my mono boxes.

    Can you look on the tube´s bottom(not the boxes,the tube itself)and see what's marked there?

    <ps . my intentions r not to hurt anyone here >

    Hi Blue, sorry for answering late. I have never used mono, but using other skin lighteners. But I can try and help give you advice on what I am able to answer. The soaps that help to lighten are the papaya soap from Likas or the Diana Stalder brand. They work as exfoliators in removing the dead skin cells, further preparing your skin to absorb the lightening properties of the lightening cream that you may choose to use, so they will sting for a few days. An additional item to use is retin-A (tretinoin being the generic brand and much cheaper), this is the acid form of vitamin A and aka all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). This will also help to remove the dead skin cells and a quicker cell turnover, also good for acne and wrinkles... which I'm thankful not to have yet :p. This will also help absorb the lightening agents better, causing a faster lightening results, as well as preventing thinning of the skin as it will help to produce collagen.

    I also have oily skin, so both a papaya soap and tretinoin crème works really well in these areas for oily acne prone skin, as I plan to start using tretinoin crème in the fall/winter. If you want to try something milder than the papaya soap, an authentic black soap will really ablack soap from an genuine seller or store, as it is not really "black" nor is it hard, but has different shades of brown and is quite soft when wet, contains many vitamins and minerals, prevents and helps clear acne, and helps with blemishes and scars. I had fallen into that mistake and it contained black dye and made my face breakout.

    A good moisturizer should not contain petroleum-based ingredients such as mineral oil, carbomers, paraffin, microcrystalline wax, and petrolatum or any other toxic ingredients that these are cheaply made and will only clog pores and irritate the skin. This liquid is the byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil. These ingredients will not allow for the skin to properly breathe and will only trap perspiration. Instead it should have natural oils rich in vitmanins ans minerals. Products that contain humectants are glycerine, aloe vera, etc and will help draw and seal in moisture to the skin. Jergans Naturals has a good line of lotions and is affordable. But, there are many others out there too. So, be sure to read the ingredient label.

    Also, a great moisturizer for the body is organic/cold-pressed shea butter and they are rich in vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids, and also good is good for scars, among other benefits. There's a certain method on how you can use it as it is natural and worth trying because it is several times better than cocoa butter. Sometimes I even use organic cold-pressed coconut oil because it's great moisturizer, I love the smell, and again lots of vitmain E and others, including fatty acids.

    About the food you should eat, as always it's beneficial to try and avoid as much greasy and fattening foods, soda, and other foods that may cause breakouts. Not saying stay 100% away from them... as I myself have a sweet tooth and sometimes greasy foods :o.. just being honest. Drinking lots of water usually about 6-8 cups daily will help keep skin clear and also help prevent superficial darkening, as you are constantly removing toxins from your body. I would like to try a good colon cleanse, I know that will definitely be beneficial for the body including skin. I like to squez juice of lemons in my water to help further purify the water, cleanse the body, and add a little flavor. Eating food rich in sulfur will also benefit the body. I think you would be able to find much further beneficial information about the diet and body in the nutritional category, but here is a good article to look at also Natural skincare, causes for skin problems, diet for good skin, nutritional recommendations, natural ingredients for beauty,&#160; Skin Care, Beauty, natural cosmetics, herbal formulas for skincare, integrative therapies, mind-body therapies,

    Please use a really good sunblock high in spf at all times of the day and even carry it with you if you need to reapply during the day. I love the Neutrogena spf 70 or the 85, even the spf 55 works great. Fragrance free, protects against UVA and UVB, absorbs very well without that cakey look, and nice price. You can get most of these things from Walmart, a beauty store, and even online like Amazon.com, etc. And always check inspiration dates. I hope this helps!
