    From personal experience and experience from other users in the past, Monobenzone should not provide you with unbearable burning, itching nor wrinkles, especially at concentrations of 5-10%.

    I wouldn't consider using 50% per week either; Monobenzone works best when used gradually, to give your skin and melanocytes a chance to adapt. Using 50% at a time may ruin your skin and even cause more peeling and burning, despite the fact that your Monobenzone may not be what it seems.

    U should only monobenzone if you want to become completely white like snow.. it doesn't lighten it depigments your skin of ALL color... thats what michael jackson did.. he used other ones too but they are very strong chemicals! And forever you have to stay out of the sun.. not only put sun screan (michael jackson used an umbrella on sunny day and most other days) because your skin will no longer have any protection against the sun damage and that can lead to skin cancer... there is no solution after you do that... nothing to help u... so its better to find the temporary lighteners and keep at it forever thenhave to live like michael had too...

    Not necessarily. Monobenzone does have the ability to completely depigment your skin, but truth be told, it also has the ability to be used gradually to promote skin lightening rather than complete depigmentation. Monobenzone is not a 'magic whitener', it merely stresses your melanocytes to major points, while at the same time decreasing melanin excretion. In this way, it slowly depigments (in otherwords, lightens) rather than instantly.

    Also, note that Monobenzone does not guarantee depigmented skin, unless you were to have vitiligo in which case it is still not guaranteed. Your skin has the ability to produce more melanocytes should any be damaged from Monobenzone. It's of this very reason that using an inhibitor with it increases prolonged results.

    Contact with UV rays will increase the chance for repigmentation of course, and because Monobenzone is directly absorbed, you may experience slight lightening within other portions of course skin.
