    Um, maybe they don't expose their genitals much?

    Or maybe they're celibate?

    Or maybe they have sex with their underwear on, so not to expose their genitals?

    True vicky, but why would someone want to have beautiful light skin everywhere, with pink nipples only to have brown genitals? To me it doesn't make any sense. If someone is going to lighten their entire body and be fair, why skip the genitals? Why not look beautiful all over?:confused:

    Missj you will get your product, I am sure. That's how I was when awaiting my product. I was antsy as I don't know what. I had a big smile on my face when I received it because I knew I would be able to change my color, finally.

    LOL @ Vicky_D, man your wild. LOL

    Hi Red I got the 5% jars today, I'm still waiting on the 20% jars. The jars are a nice size, I was pleased. Did your face burn when you put the mono there. Mine burned so bad, but the stinging went away fast.

    Hey Missj,

    Yes it did burn, a lot. It only last for a few seconds to a couple of minutes. To me its sign its working! But if it burns for over 10 minutes wash it off and apply a little. If its too hot, I just stick my face in front of the a.c... please let us know how it goes . YAY!

    Hey red

    You are sooo funny, I am actually in west africa right now and when I put on my mono and it burns at first I am so like in front of the ac or putting my head inside the fridge, what sunscreen are you guys using, and when you apply your sunscreen over the mono does it burn or tingle a little??

    Because my skin feels like its on fire for a few minutes after I apply sunscreen over the mono.

    Girls, I am serious... lol. My face be burning up. I use Neutrogena: Ultrasheer: dry touch sunblack. SPF:70 wuth helioplex. I find it burns just a bad/worse as the mono itself. What I do is apply a layer with just mono. THen I mix mono with sunscreen and apply it. But lately I just apply mono then a layer of sunscreen which is probably smarter. I find with this sunscreen I apply it ans through out the day I get darker but when I get home at night and wash it off then I am still yellow as I was in the morning.

    Hi Farewoman,
    Is it a tube of 20g with 50$ and cream base with 20% monobenzone. I think then I can order if this is the one which you have told :-), I have got the right one! Great...

    Im so confused as to what to do guys. My 20% cream still hasn't arrived so I've been using the 5% I bought for my face on my entire body and now it is low. When the 20% finally gets here I don't want to use it for my face. Im so confused on whether to buy more 5% when my second order hasn't even arrived. I wrote the vendor, its been 15 days today! I don't know what to do.

    Hey msj

    Well its taking forever, I think wait till Friday or Saturday and if its still not their then contact them to see what they can do, possibly customs is the problem, but just hang in their I am sure its coming.as for me I am peeling like crazy
  • Aug 5, 2008, 09:46 AM

    Hi lighterr, do you think if I stop using what I have, and wait till the other product comes I will repig? I have to conserve this 5% cream, I just don't want to use 20% on my face. Its too delicut.
  • Aug 5, 2008, 10:02 AM
    RedDiamond
    This is just a thought but you can add some lotion to the amount if you are going to use it one your face to mix it down from 20% to something not as strong? Maybe you can do this while waiting for your next order of 5% if you want to order it. This way you can have some contact with mono your face won't repig because of no access to mono. You see what I am saying? Tell me what you think.
  • Aug 5, 2008, 10:07 AM
    Missj28
    Yes that is a good idea Red, thank you! How will I determine the percentage it will go down too? How much lotion do I add to, what amount of 20% because I don't want to reduce the potency of the entire jar.
  • Aug 5, 2008, 10:16 AM
    RedDiamond
    Well, I would suggest you take some of the 20% and place it in the 5% jar.(I hope you didnt/dont throw it away lol) PLace how ever much you think you will need for your face until you buy some more 5%. And mix the amount of 20% you placed into the 5% jar. I guess you can mix it to how every much you want. I don't know the exact measurements but since its for you face you can add as much as you think will dilute it to the strength you want. That way you can have 20% for you body and about than 5-15% for you face. :)

    Hi guys,
    @ lighterrr, I guess it might take a little long to get high yellow. I find that also with using my mono also. My face is just yellow now and I want it to be highyellow but its taking its good ole time. LOL. I might be at a stand still for now and trying to kill off the coloring. I was told to just use it religoiusly and you will see the change.

    @ missj, You're welcome. For some reason, the idea just popped in my head and I was like "mmmmn, that'll work" How long did it take to get throw the whole to use the whole jar you have? Let me know how it goes.

    I just send more for my items to be shipped but they lady hasn't sent me any shipping information so I hope she did already so I can get it by next week because LADIES, I am going off to college. I am so excited.

    Hi guys, Red it took me 1 week to get through 4 oz of cream. I was putting it on twice a day. I want it to last me longer. Do you know what I can do? Maybe add it to the almond oil or some other lotion you were talking about?

    Hey guys

    Red congrats your now college bound, GOOOOD LUUUCK TOO YOUUUUU, tears, tears, going to miss you come back to us as soon as you can,

    Msj I think adding some more of your own lotion is a great way to make the cream stretch also some of the clumps you can crush them in the palm of your hand and add some more of your cream to make it go further, that's what I was told to do by the people that I buy from and it works good for me

    Yea, I'm going back to college on the 25th. My first class is at 6am, I will not be able to keep using twice a day. Most likely will just be applying at night. I wonder how that will effect my lightening progress. Didn't that Evelyn lady use mono only once a day? But hers came in a tube?

I have been following these posts and I'm really impressed how mono has helped a lot of people here.. im in india right now and I want to get mono.. my skin color is light wheatish color not too dark and not tooo light... I don't go in sun a lot... please help me regarding what % of mono powder I suld buy and how to mix it in a lotion ?

    Please help guys.. happy whitening to all of you.. thnku

    desikudi,

    Have you tried any sort of lightening product before? It may be preferable for you, as you are fairly light to use something a little less inconsistent as mono.

    As I am sure you have read, some people have found it very difficult getting hold of the mono and finding a realiable and trustworthy supplier. In addition to this, the results have not always been that great. Unless you have tried other things before and have not found anything that works for you, then I would only try mono as a last resort. Just my opinion...

    Thanks maharani...

    Yeah I have just started using hydroquninoe 4% and I mix it daily with a little bit of lotion and put it on my face... its been only a week so I can't tell the difference... thnx for the advice though... my skin isn't fair , its kind of medium tone as I have learnt to take care of it since 2-3 yrs as I was very tanned before and never took care of my skin and it hit me real hard when my aunts and cousins wuld go on and on about how beautiful they look and how bad I look , and every time any guy's family came to see me or meet me for marriage proposals then she will bring her kids as well there and put me down in front of evryone by praising her kids... so then it really hurt me and then I strted taking care of my skin... thnx for the help

    Are you guys using mono ? Is it helping at all...
  • Sep 25, 2008, 10:58 AM
    MAHARANI

    I personally am not using mono for the reasons that I already stated. You might want to see how you get on with the HQ. At least it is more easily sourced, so you don't have to try really hard to find it, unlike mono.

    As it's only been a week, you probably won't see anything as yet. A tip may be to try and use the HQ with some retin A product, which should help to speed up the results and can give the skin a real radiant look. Use it a couple of times a week at night. If your skin becomes sensitive to it, just reduce the usage.

    You do have to make sure that you invest in good sun care products, to maintain your results and to protect your skin, which will be more sensitive due to the Hq and the retin A, if you decide to try it.

    Hi maharani

    Thnks a lot... wht products can I get with retin -A in it... yeah I use HQ only once a day as I don't want my skin to react bad to heavy usage... lets see how it goes... I will use it for a month and see if it did any change...

    I still want to know about mono but I'm scared how it did bad to some people so I'm apprehensive about its usage...

    I will stick to HQ for time being

    I live in az, in the states. They only sell 2% HQ here. Which is not worth anyone's time... if its avalible in 10% or something that would be better..

    Ask your doctor for a higher percentage than 2% if you can't find it elsewhere.

    Just Google, there are variety of products out there.The one I am currently using, is a gel form which sinks very easily into the skin.


    This is the compnay that I purchased mine from, but not sure if they send to overseas.
