I know that a lot of you are using monobenzone or compteplating on using it. Well I'm hear to tell you that after 1yr. Of monobenzone use my skin became disfigured. My arms, face, legs, cheast . Is patch work of pink, brown, large patchess. And I've been going to dermatologist about it and they say that the damage is irreversable. I just don't know what to do.

It started good for a while about 7mos. Then at the 8th month I noticed patches that were pink like a raw pink on the sides of my face inner thighs arms. And they were so sore. And my skin just kept peeling, peeling, so then after the pain subsided then that very raw red area became darken . And a ver noticeable darkening.

I'm so damn sorry and regret using monobenzone. My only hope now is to find a plastic surgeon that can hopefully fix my skin back.

I just don't know what to do. I just don't know. And that a lot of money that I invested in a product that I thought was going to lighten me but only damage my skin badly.

Thought I share for those before it becomes to late

Thanks.. I will stop using mono now

Sorry I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. But you just don't know how hurt I'am. You just don't know. I was pretty but I wanted to be prettier. And I just wish I never used it. But I heard about the results that others were having using monobenzone so I gave it I try too.
Why did I do it? Why? What am I'm going to do?? Plastic surgery is so much money. Money that I really don't have. But I got to do something? I'm totally disfigured. What will I do? Raw pink and dark skin I hate I ever messe with that stuff. I'm in a bad shape.MY nerves are shot.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I'm very sorry to hear about what happened and lets hope members will think twice before using monobenzone. Especially the high strength one (20%).

My friend 20% should never be thinked about, it's a result of imprecise research, gloomy am not trying to hurt you but yo would have researched on web more, gone little deep inside the medicine on web and not just would have dependent on this forum, here are people not experts, people like us and I don't think people who are now white have ever used 20%, that is poorly bad research

To all people here, consider your dermetalogist help, pamper him/her, he will give you hints about whitening taking monobenzone, mequinol and arbutin, there are secrets in medicine but they don't tell you, yes I will think 100 times taking even a drop of these chemicals but don't forget its medicine and there are ways of lightening, I know it as I have heard insiders in bollywood saying some big actress have used chemicals to en their skin, see their before and after pics

Personally, I would never use monobenzone as it's really for patients suffering from vitiligo. There are alternatives out there. Such as arbutin, kojic acid and so on.

People without virtiligo are not supposed to use mono! That is the first thing you see when you Google search it, unless you want to disfigure yourself. I hope all those people who are talking of using it read this and learn from it. My friends sister used it too and she has pink patches all over her body and face. It is not worth it!

It's not worth it. It's going to cost anywhere from $15,000-$25,00 to fix my disfigurement of my body. And I have to go to New York to get the surgery done. And even then I was told by the doctor that it won't be completely back to normal. I'm currenlty trying to get the money . That's a lot of money along with the travel expense to get there. Oh my god I should'nt never messed with that stuff. Listening to other folks. But I can only blame myself.

I used to be pretty but not anymore. You just don't know how I feel.

Gloomy if you don't mind me asking but can you share with us your before and after pics so that all (including myself) don't even now think of using that hazardous chemical, only if you wish

NO! I'M NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL SHARING THAT HIDIOUS SIGHT. I don't want you all to see me. I'm embarrassed, and ashamed of my looks and myself. NO, NO, NO.

Its OK and don't worry all will be fine, after all we can't get all we want, its our destiny any we can never change it

Gloomy do you think mono 3% or 2% will do the same? Just fund this link Monobenzone cream 3% lights Scar,Spot,Pigment & Freckle - eBay (item 260215016411 end time Mar-03-08 03:37:24 PST)


2-3%?? Do you guys allow?

I really just can't say what it will and won't do? I guess you will have to use it and find out like I did.. huh?

Hi, gloomy123, monobenzone_attention,mona4white; I am a intertested monobenzone info seeker, looking forward to lighting my skin but very unsure about using monobenzone after hearing your storys.
Please tell me the alternative chemical that is closet to the results of mono but less harmful affect.
I heard of L-glu,Vit-C, Biol ca-lotion, and mono, which one give best results with less side affects.
Is there anyone who's willing to share this imformation, if so I look forward to talking

Hey brown skin..

I do not believe in pills.. I tried l-gluta.. it was just a waste and not worth it at all..

If you want to lighten your skin.. you have to use a chemical.. that's a fact..

Natural stuff won't be permanent.. but I can't recommend a product..

I think this situation with mono could be true too. Are you really going to stop using it, if so would you share your other altervatives that your considering using.]
I have so in mined but I not sure.
However, Do you think gloomy123 may have used a very high doage of mono to cause this affect. I' going to ask ?
Look forward to talking

How about hydroquinone?

Its weird.. there are people who made good experiences with mono.. and some don't.. it is a risky thing..

I can see that my skin is lightening.. my skin would be almost white if I go 2-3 shades lighter..

I would never use mono 1 year.. that's pathetic if you don't want to be completely depigged...

White skin looks super ugly to me..

Look at the picture I posted.. the guy on the pic used it 82 or 83 only.. his skin would look flawless without vit..

82 days are 11 weeks.. I give mono a try again.. and stop after 82 days

Gluta pills do not work. Vitamin C helps brighten the skin and makes it healthy.
Bio Claire is good (I'm currently using it). It contains kojic acid and arbutin.
Arbutin is a good alternative to monobenzone. It comes in many forms, cremes or even powder.
If you want to use monobenzone, then please only use a weaker strength. Remember, monobenozone depigments the skin and some do not get the desired result so use at your own risk!
Personally I would steer clear from it.

Mequinol + tretnoin

The guy didn't need to use more than 82-83 days as his skin will not make melanin and melanocytes and did you confirm how much of percentage he used

I think 2-3% of mono, mequinol, arbutin are good alternatives to skin whitening and Punkchic there are hundreds of products and chemicals to lighten our skin but they are just very time consuming, yes they will give you results, just mono are for people who are too greedy Skin whitening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh my gawd... im scared now! Mono_attn, what have u decided about using mono or not? Also, what % have you been using? Please reply.

Yes there are many products out there but I was stating the most popular.

Brownskin.
Hydroquinone is proven to be an effective ingredient but also the most controversial.

Hey, I just want to say thanks for responding. I'm going to class right now but I going to send you a private message because I am interested in a low doage of mono(10%).
Is this a good idea if so I need a few other pointers.
I will be in touch. Look forward to talking

Its not about using 1 year or 2yrs or 6 months, its about defecating your skin to same colour, if you didn't had blotches, and had the desired colour, its OK to use any period but personally I'll think more than 100 times plus take advices from my dermatologist even for takeing arbutin (benzyl-arbutin, the second biggest drug used for vitiligo depigmentation)

Mono_attn I am going to pm you today, please check later... I want to send you a pic to show my skin color and tell me if I would be OK to continue with mono...

Monobenzone is an ether of hydroquinone and in the case of hydroquinone also, you can't use it for more than 3-4 months I think, you would have to stop as its very painful and the results are also temporary, use hydroquinone+tretinone if you wanu use, ask your dermatalogist you wanu lighten scar or age spots and he'l prescribe you (not dangerous as mono)

Pleased to meet you too! :)

I have not used monobenzone as it is for patients with vitiligo. I would not advise anyone to use it. But if they want to then they'll be using it at their own risk as the results can vary from person to person. But then it is like that with most skin lightening products. However with monobenzone, the results are irreversible. Remember gloomy's results?

As you only want to lighten up a few shades then you're in good luck. Many products out there can help you achieve the result you want. Products containing kojic acid and arbutin are quite effective.
Bio Claire contains those 2 ingredients and is lightening up my uneven skin gradually. Many people have had good results with Bio Claire. But then results vary as everyone's skin is different so it might not work for you.
Try Bio Claire and see how it goes. It's inexpensive too.

There's also Diana Stalder. Some members on the forum have achieved good results from using it. That also contains kojic acid.

Remember, when thinking about buying any product, look at the ingredients, and research about them. See if they're effective, safe and so on.

Good luck!

:)

Mono-attention, what % of mono are you using, how long have you been using it? Do you like your results so far?

Mono-attention, what strangty are you using, and for how long? Are you liking your results so far?

*strength, sorry duplicte post

.

Brown skin are you really that desperate? Why would you want to use mono when gloomy and punkchic have just told you how dangerous it is? Do you want to end up like gloomy?

So people just don't care about the risk you know? I was one of them now I'm hidious and disfigured. Because I wanted to be lighter. And now I'm paying the price for vanity reasons. But I will tell you this use it... then wind up in the same boat as me, crying like I do all the now, shame and embarrassed. Then you'll know how I feel.

I feel very sorry for you gloomy123.. very social of you that you informed other people about your experiences with mono..

Using monobenzone is a gradual thing for me.. so far no blotches or anything.. but I would never use such a strong drug 1 year..

I can see lightening.. I am pleased with the result.. but I would never use that for 1 year though

monobenzone_attention, what strength mono are you using, and how much have you lightened?

I have NO experiences with Monobenzone.
Monobenzone is for patients suffering from vitiligo. If it was OK for normal people to use this for lightening skin a few shades then it wouldn't say it is ONLY for people for vitiligo. Why else do you think monobenzone is not widely available???

If you want to use it then go ahead. But you are putting yourself at risk.

You probably used it wrong (if you actually even had real monobenzone or benoquin cream).

You need to know HOW to apply monobenzone--WHEN to apply it and what to properly mix it with.

Things will never be perfect but you shouldn't be disfiguring yourself completely if you are doing anything right.

Use at your own risk folks but don't f**k yourself up in the process.
