    Hi,Dolice!That's how monobenzone,works it killing your pigments in your skin,that why you have them light patches in your face,you can stop the use or continue the use,it will even out,try not to apply on the white patches,just the color ones to you even up,it may also cause more white patches on you,where places you don't apply the monobenzone cream,it's works erratic..

    I am really worried since sara and mj told me that its not normal for mono to give white ptches withen two months.and my mono could be impure or mixed with mercury!
    I regret :( getting involved with mono.it didn't have any knowledge about mono before I start using it.I thought its was just a normal skin lightener.I don't know how to reverse my mistake?I made my skin darker than my original color than gave me white patches.
    It could be possible that my mono is mixed with mercury?
    I live in north west London,can you please help me to find out if how to know if my mono is pure or not?how and where to get it tested?

    @ dolice - There is no hard or fast rule saying that mono cannot patch you up within two months. When I did use icn benoquin.. my skin darkened as a quick rate. If I had used it longer it would dry, peel and end up white. This all in a matter of few weeks.

    So its subjective.. Besides.. you are almost caucasian light... Obviously it could and should work on your skin faster.

    Sara, Mj, or Myself.. we have deeper coloured skin. It will work over time for us.

    So please don't get so low on subjective statements. It works differently on different people. If its working your lucky.. I have used batches that I used on and off for years and NEVER GOT A SINGLE WHITE PATCH not even a spot.

    At 15% it there is no way can be that fast, I didn't say mono will not give patches in first 2 months but face normally take longer, and it looks like she has a lot of patches for short period.

    Hun, I am really sorry but that way too fast for mono, even with vitiligo it is not that fast. Yes mono will give patches but face normally take longer, and you said you only using it 5 times a week with 15% please stop using whatever is that, it does not look like it is mono.

    If its not mono,then how I got patches at that places where I never used mono?I should be possible that the melanocytes on my skin are weaker and not resisting to mono much.I read somewhere that sometimes if you use mono less strength and less often,then yours melancytes does not bother to protect yours skin against monobenzone,and same if you use mono in large quantity or strength to start with then melancytes get alert and start building resistance against monobenzone.
    Well!mono works differently on different people.

    People ask me that why I want to depig my skin?since I already have a light skin?
    My problem is that I got ginger hair and platinum grey eyes with olive skin, that's looks weird because ginger people have very pale skin.
    My dad is half white and half hispanic,my mom is full hispanic,both got dark eyes and dark hair,but some stupid genetic reason I got my dad's grand father's ginger hair and platinum grey eyes which looks so freaky on my olive skin,I dye my hair in brown color still can't get rid of orange tone.
    So I want to have very pale skin to match with my ginger hair.

    That is good, if you got it tested then you will be assured. Is this patches like this everywhere? Even on your feet and legs? As legs and feet are very hard areas. I am not saying you will get patches but that speed it is too fast for it. If you look at my first thread here you will notice I have started researching about mono since September 2006, during that time I have met people who used it and I have got great idea how it works. Plus eBay is full of scammers, I wouldn’t trust that place for monobenzone.

    Best of luck

    @ dolice - I would then suggest not wasting time and getting it tested at the earliest.

    If its authentic mono, which I anyway suspect it is, you don't want to give your melanocytes so much time to get resistant.

    I still feel mono works differently on different people. And since your gene pool has white in a recent generation,your skin is more receptive to mono.

    That's just my opinion. I may be wrong. Besides even hispanics are relatively light mostly. And your olive skin is so far from the hispanic looking people. Its more like a tanned american caucasian person .

    I suggest you go full throttle now ! Get your mono tested quickly so you can continue. Don't waste so much time that your body gets the hang of the product.

    Dear Dolice,

    Greetings!

    Ever since I told you that as per MY OWN OPINION, since you have caucasian genes, that may have helped mono work faster on you, I HAVE BEEN IN THE LINE OF FIRE FROM FRIENDS ON THE FORUM.

    This is a statement made NOT FROM ANY SCIENTIFIC BACKING. Please keep this in mind.

    This is a theoretical assumption which many concluded over time, on other forums that I have visited in the past.

    There was a huge discussion once on another forum where a thread was posted just to discuss that people who were dark yet had caucasian or light skinned parents or grandparents had a higher probability of lightening through monobenzone. And most felt that it was possibly true.

    Now my statement is just an assumption of various things I have read on forums and articles.

    I cannot point out a precise SCIENTIFIC database about this. If I do , and trussme, God Im going to search for one, I will post it here.

    I have been told that you are listening to my statement and thereby are continuing the use of that mono. I never thought anyone even listens to me anyway, but if you have, kindly get your mono tested immediately .

    I still would suggest doing it quickly so that if it is GENUINE , you could still start using it and get your benefits quickly before melanocyte resistance sets in.

    Warm Regards,
    Imgorgeous !

    Since I stopped using my cream a lot of new white patchs pooped up in my skin.
    I have developed chemically induced vitiligo:eek:by using monobenzone.
    I don't know what to do now?
    My mom is going to visit me soon,she will get really hurt if she find out what I have done to myself.

    I know this may be too little too late but IDK who told you that you needed MONO for your desired results... stop using it and seek a dermotologist ASAP... you could have gotten your desired results maybe from even using HQ or if you want permanenet maybe Mequinol slowly... And don't let anyone tell you that there is no help you've been using this for two months only... the skin is surprisingly resilient...

    I really am advising you to stop self treating and go see a doc... and even though people are giving OK advice... I really think that you are edging up a dark alley continuing with this... and experimenting with your skin is actually no joke when you are actually ruining it an there is significant evidence leading to that you are in fact ruining your skin based on the photos... what people are telling you is fine and dandy but most of them aren't waking up with brown and white patches for the most part... I think you should abandon this whole mono idea (don't start using more crap to try and fix it on your own you may make it worse... and I don't know why anyone steered you towards mono at all...

    Its human nature that we want to have what we don't have!
    My Swedish blond friend is taking tanning injections and tanning pills to make her skin permanently dark.
    It is so easy to make anybody's skin dark but it is so hard to make skin permanently white.

    Dolice.. No its not true!

    You are however, BOUND TO GET PATCH WHILE LIGHTENING with mono.

    If you take proper precautions and continue, you will succeed!

    Lots of people have succeeded at it . Why not you ?

    I have read that occasionaly you may get small patches but they fade away too with mono... there isn't really any sound "truth" about what a persons skin will do so its all trial and error... however I do think that after a few months whatever is happening to your skin now may go away and not be permanent... no matter what mama, good luck to you. You'll find something that works out right and just keep us posted:o

    Well, this is very strange. If I were you, I would seriously get the stuff tested before I continued to use it. Unless it is from a real pharmacy, you can never be too sure of what you are getting. Why don't you just invest in a really good makeup to cover this when you go out? From personal experience, it took me two months to get to the color I wanted. I only did my neck. I got patches, but they were hard to notice on my already pale skin. I was using real mono.

    Let me get this straight. The lighter areas in the second picture are your original color, but the darker parts are from using mono? Is that right? That is usual. Mono is supposed to give you white patches, not dark ones. If you do get it tested, and it comes back legit, then don't quit using it. If you really want pale skin, you will get there eventually.

    Yes monobenzone made my skin darker than my real color then gave me brown and white patches!

    I want to have phenol peel,which depigs skin completely, but I am surprised to find out that nobody performs this peel in London anymore.
    Some clinics do perform TCA,GLYCOLIC,and OBAGI,but none of them perform phenol peel,I have done all research I couldn't find any practitioner who does phenol peel.
    I might have to go USA!

    Phenol peels are for people with wrinkles, freckles or bad acne. You appear to have nice, normal young skin, do not do phenol. It is too drastic. Just keep using the mono. When you say you are Hispanic, do you mean you are of Spanish descent? Or are you mixed with some kind of non white ethnicity? The reason I ask is because when someone says Hispanic in America, they are usually referring to a brown person of South American descent, not a white Spaniard from Spain. You have to be patient with skin whitening. When I was doing mine, it took two months, and I thought it wasn't working, but then right at the two month mark, I noticed the difference.
