If this is really happening then I am REALLY happy for you and it would be great for all of us to see some real pictures...

    Yeah I guess so... I mean the pic in my avitar is me... I was going to take photos of my legs and take a photo everyday to keep a record of how the process is going... maybe I can do that here... but I wouldn't be able to do if for around 2 weeks as I need time to show lightening process... hopefully something considerable happens, in a good way!

    Well good luck! I hope you become as white as Dita Von teese! If that's what you are going for? I love her colour!

    Yeah the body takes a bit longer to show any changes in comparison to the face so two week intervals I think are perfect!

    Can't wait to see your results..

    Actually it depends.. because the benoquin cream from canada drugs when they were selling it, started having effects in a 2 day period... so I guess it's a case by case basis... and also the quality, and how its made and so on...

    I have been using fairnglow for about a few days with out any lightening and a lot of burning on my neck. I don't use it on my face, but my face is peeling. Please let me know what you find out about anil.

    With anil's powder, I decided to put a little powder in water, and a little powder in alcohol to see if it would dissolve... and in both glasses, some rose to the top and some stayed in the bottom of the glass... would not dissolve...

    I have been applying the cream like 7 times a day and in result, I have extremely dry itchy skin... no considerable lightening yet.. will give it a couple of weeks to let it work on my skin...
    Im still so surprised that the lightening that I got with fair and glow has completely gone..

    Anyway I'm pretty sure anil's stuff is real as it has a little of the same smell that was used in the 7unite cream and they use part mono..
    If people have gotten mono from both 7unite and kaisen... take notice of the same kind of smell? The sweet scent that you smell in the cream is phenylhydroquinone... But the chemical type of smell is the mono... but you can only smell a little of it in the 7unite cream.. but in anil's powder... it is just all chemical smell, so it just might be pure..

    Anyway will touch base in a couple of weeks with pics...

    Hey mj... amanda's pwder came and its pinkish white and smells exactly the way you say... and it actually burns unlike the .net which never did... no results in the last two days... but I feel their products seems more authentic than the ones I used previosuly... lets just see.. only time will tell

    .net mono really doesn't work people... the customer service is taking us for a ride... and so is the herbalinn staff

    Hey, I don't think you realise what you have... the pinkish white sweet powder you have is NOT mono!! It is phenylhydroquinone and will not work! It is supposed to lighten the skin and yes it burns a little, but it makes you darker after... and it causes all sorts of problems for the body like nose bleeds, dizziness, you will get very very sick if you continue to use it :(

    7unite had 1 part mono in a mix of 3 things.. the phenyl, baby powder and mono, that was in their cream that they sold.. a few people had it tested and apparently that is how it came back in tests...

    My mono journey so far with anil's is quite painful! Im waiting for all the dry scaly skin I have to just peel away... it is extremely tight and no matter how much moisturizer or oil I put on, it doesn't help... I have cut my mono applying down to 3 times a day from 10... im currently very red and tanned... and I think that is a good thing at the moment... I think this is the way it is supposed to be before you go light... but I will let you know when the light skin comes through... then I will take pics and upload them..

    If you are using 20%+ monobenzone cream mixture you are not meant to apply it more than 3 times a day (two is the norm). Where did you read 10 times? That's crazy, you'll burn yourself to death. Take it easy, you are already of white skin so less melanin already anw... 2 times daily should do it for you in a couple of months no need to go overboard!

    Yes I think your right... I started peeling on my tummy and around my neck and I tried to rub it off in the shower with an exfoliant and I started bleeding, so I think I will only keep it now to 2 times a day...
    Very sore at the moment... I tried to take photos of my skin peeling, but it didn't show up in the photos I took, I don't have a special camera or anything...

    Hi I finally got uniform light shade its great, I have used only two time a day with sunscreen. And My friend used anil's powder with higher concentration and acquried psoriasis on face.
    Avoid powder friends, Its harmful.

    Likerose is using fair n glow... but I'm pretty sure its not pure mono now... as it lightened way too quickly, not to mention the second you stop using it, you go dark... but maybe that was just the case with me...

    Sorry got a few moments to spare again.
    Wow mj I think your overdoing it a bit with the mono.
    I use 20 percent twice a day and my face tingles a lot but not so much on my body, I'm thinking of upping the strength for my body.
    Guys ind I really advise you noty go out in the sun while using it I did and the skin that was exposed has gotten darker like I actually have tan lines wjhich has never happened to me before and the skin gets very dry when exposed to sun.
    I'm going to buy some sun block now from eBay and I'm going to stock up on some alcohol.
    Mj I hope your not applying mono and alcohol straight to skin cause when you mix it with cream it isn't meant to be paste like it should be same texture as cream? In my case anyway.
    Erm...
    With me my face is like a tan colour with lots of pink undertones , I have a clearer complextion than when I was using hydroq. I've lightened a bit but nothing too obvious.

    Hey yeah I was going a bit overboard with the mono... that is why I'm making another batch of cream tonight with a lower percentage!
    Im like you... my neck is so dry... I have included photos so you can see the scalyness of it... it is so sore!! :(
    I don't mix alcohol with my cream... I just use vit e cream with sunblock and add the powder to that...

    This one is of me gone tanned after putting the cream on

    Thanks for uploading the pics, mj. I see what you mean about the dryness. We are actually the same skin tone. But, I'm not seeing any lightening with Fairnglow. The first day I put it on, it burned, but now, nothing. No burning, peeling, or lightening. I have about three jars left, then I will try Anil.

    mj2006,

    Haven't the test results come back from the lab yet?

    All I can say is continue to use lots of moisturizer! But please don't believe just yet that Anil's mono is the real mono…other chemicals can have these drying effects on the skin.
    I really hope for your sake that this is a real mono powder.

    No I haven't actually had time to send it as I work most days from 9-5.. I will try next week.

    With anil's powder... I must admit... no lightening on face or arms... but strangely enough, my back is lighter and so are my legs and feet? I thought face and hands are supposed to go lighter first? I had to stop mono on my tummy and neck as it is just too sore and red and has cracked and it looks like my cat has scratched me all over... so I have been putting paw paw ointment over it all which is helping a lot... it is used for rashes and cuts and burns...
    Im only putting mono on my face, ears, legs and back/arms now...
    Will post more pics soon of legs and back... though is difficult because the flash sometimes alters the look.. and I want it to look as normal as possible to what I'm taking a photo of...

    I will also upload anil's mono powder... so you can all see it and note the difference to what you are all using( specially to the ones who get their mono powder from actual chemists ) .

    HI MJ
    Same symptoms as my friend got in initial, Do not use it more, It will lead to
    Psoriasis, I don't know much about Anil but my friend's bitter exp. Is enough to remain away from it.
    Keep updating.

    Wow, Likerose, what exactly happened to your friend? I will try and be patient with the creams that I have. So, is your skin becoming spotty and then depigmenting or is it becoming an overall lighter complexion. My only worry is that true mono does not depigment in that way. Mono is very erratic and unstable in the way it depigments your skin. It starts with white patches here and there, which will eventually even out over time. However, hydroquinone lightens in an uniform way. But, you will get darker again cause it isn't permanent. So, I'm worried that none of these creams contain true mono.

    Oh OK... but maybe that was because of the percentage she was using? Im sure if the cream your using was the same percentage as the powder she is using, I'm sure you would have the same symptoms as she is?

    Actually I had to stop using mono, my skin got so bad I had to take the rest of the week off work, I have to constantly apply oil every 10 minutes, with ointments, as my skin is all broken and bleeding :( I look like I have a skin disease or something... I will upload pics soon. Its strange though, even though I stopped the mono... while my skin is healing, my nipples have light streaks through them! It doesn't look nice either, looks like there are scar marks, when they are not... Anyway I'm just looking forward to getting my normal skin back...

    Seriously didn't think that could happen. Like my bodyys drey but it isn't cracking or anything, and I've been using it longer than you, maybe it was the sterngth.
    With your pics my skin looks like that as well like I have exma or something.
    Il see how it goes any way

    Hi Mj
    Many time I have told you not to use it as same happened with my friend anil's product are not good.
    Do one thing start using Glycerine or Honey continuously on skin and do not use soap on affected portion, it will reform soon.
    Take care
