    Monobenzone UPDATES
    My spots are gone.. theres still tiny ones on my forehead but its OK.. I was so deppressed when they appeard but now I'm well..
    What can I say.. my journy with monobenzone is a roller coaster..
    Sometimes I look my old picture amazed from the results
    A lot of people don't recognaize me.. strangers don''t think I relate to my family when they see us together.. but I don't mind from all of that.. because I wake up every morning and love what I see in the mirror.. yeah super shallow.. thats life

    How about you post some before after pictures? You don't have to show your face, maybe you can blur it out.

    I posted some before and felt so exposed and "naked" so I deleted it.. and I promissed myself that will never do it again.

    How do you avoid the sun? If the sun touches your skin.. do you get worried?

    The wrinkles come just because the skin going to peel. It's a dead skin basiclly. And then you get nice smooth look
    It's a routine, but it will end too

    Uhmm... I want to ask.. some tiny bits of my face skin peeled just now. But the new skin is only lighter a little bit. How is this possible? I thought it will completely depig and give me a white skin?

    It does not go from black to white, some thin skin areas will depig i.e be white but most places will peel and shed skin in stages, you go lighter in stages, which is nice! Not too much shock for people around you.
    Although, people who have not seen me for long, have two seconds shock before they say hi.

    Honey. Please. Listen to me. Judging by your name "African Beauty" you have brown skin. Do NOT use mono. Listen to me. You will regret it. Mono is not for people with color. It's for people who already have a big skin issue (Vitiligo). PLEASE stay away from it. PLEASE. You will not be happy with the results. Please do NOT use mono. PLEASE. I'm telling you. Look at all of the horror stories about mono. Why are you so desperate to DEPIG your skin? That's what mono does. It DEPIGS. IT DOES NOT LIGHTEN. It will turn you ghostly white. And with African features and ghostly white skin. You will look foolish. And it will not even turn you completely white. It will leave you with SPOTS. PLEASE DON'T USE MONO. PLEASE. PLEASE PELASE. PLEASE.

    Supershallow - did monobenzone cause those spots to appear on your skin? What percentage of monobenzone did you use? How long after those spots appeared did they completely clear up?



    Also, If I went on monobenzone today, how many months would it take to go from a Jlo complextion to a Demi Moore complextion?

    Hi sara,
    It took me a month for my face to peel completely! And my skin.. only lighten up a little bit because it's a new skin.
    But before it got light, my whole face is red, and I mean VERY red.
    I have to switch to using normal moisturizer for about a 2 and a half weeks for my skin colour to turn lighter.
    I think this is because I'm an asian.
    Asian people's skin layers are not as thick as african people.
    I'm using hydroquinone on my body right now. It's been a week. So far... nothing changes. I kind of need a break from all this dry and dead skin condition that mono gaves me. It's so stressful.
