Q: My Mac Shifa Experience !
Asked by siona On Jan 27, 2012Share this question:
Hi Guys, Just wanted to let you all know, I have purchased the benoquin pills from mac-shifa ireland. Also using the 40 % benoquin cream for my face.

After 2 days My acne is cleared. I do feel my skin is darker a shade on my face but I feel my hands are lightening along with my chest.

Maybe I will just use the pills and not the cream for the face.

I will do a follow up report every week.

Customer support is very good, fast service, great advice... Hope this thread helps people genuinely wanting to lighten their skin. I have spent thousands of dollars on fake products, mac- shifa is my last resort. Let us hope that it will live up to my expectation.

Anyone with info would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks
Siona

Hi,
If you don't mind may I please know when did you buy your pills?because I contacted Mac Shifa last month and they told me that they are closing for X'Mas and also shifting to the Netherlands so they will open on 30th of Jan 2011.I was searching for users or reviews about benoquin pills and found your question.You posted your review few days back .So I was wondering if you recently bought the pills or bought it last year and started using now.

Hi There, I bought my pills on the 23 Jan 2012. I have been on its since with rubex vitamin c. To be hones I have not noticed much of a difference with the pills yet. I am having 2pills with vitamin c 1000mg in the mng, noon and night. I will let you all know how I get on.

I also first started with the 20 % monobenzone , then the 40 % , now a week later I am going with the 60% because I was advised I would depigment faster. I have a burning sensation on my face and have gone 3 shades darker, lol, The company director said this is normanl , for skin to go darker , then will reveal a light skin complextion. I will keep you all posted.

To be honest I was so desperate for a solution to light skin, that I felt only mono could help me. I have my dark skin, and wante to be lighter. Please share your experiences with me.

A quick note, to say that mac-shifa has been very suportive with questions, I just hope they live up to all the rusults I was promised...

Moving to a new country whey they can sell illegal medication to other countries ?

Hi Siona and thanks a lot for repling :)

I'm just wondering why Dr.Khan told me that they are moving(shifting their lab.) to Netherlands and will open on 30 jan 2012?
Don't know why Mac Shifa(Dr.Khan) is ignoring my emails.wonder why they are not intersted in selling their products to me?. lol
Just hope that Mac Shifa/Dr.Khan is not fake/fraud.
Has anyone else tried their products??

Siona,can U please keep me updated about your results?Because USD 200 for a bottle of benoquin pills is not a small amount and you need to take at least 6 pills/day for 1-2 months to see some visible results.3 bottles in a month would be equal to USD 600 and I do not want to waste that much money on something fake.

I emailed Mac Shifa again 3 hrs ago(21:10 GMT) and asked them if they hv shifted to Netherlands and if they are open and still in business.
I just checked my inbox and got their reply at 21:21 GMT.I'm so surprised that they suddenly replied me in just 21 minutes?. lol

They only shifted their head office to the Netherlands... Original text below in bold

YES, our head-office is shifted to The Netherlands
(Laboratory and partly the warehouse will stay here in Ireland - Dublin).

Hi There

I am stillusing the pills , 2 morning noon and night, but have not noticed my skin tone change at all. I am using the 60% cream on my face and it is making my skin very tight, I have a few white spots a slightly whiter tone but am all confused because mac-shifa said only to use it on my face and neck, and it will speed up de-pigmentation. Its just my skin is sooooo tight

I will give you all feed back in another week.

It's strange, I have seen some people using 1000-3000mg l-glutathione pills and say that they strated seeing results in 3-4 weeks,like their skin texture got better and their complexion looked fresher or brighter etc.You are using 6 pills a day = 2000mg x6=12,000 mg of l-glutathione a day and still feel no difference?
I'm starting to think if l-glutathione pills(any brand,any form whether pills or IV,any dose and any length of treatment) can really lighten skin or they r just a waste of time and money.Or if MAC SHIFA is FAKE?

Siona,I would anxiouly wait to hear about your results :)
wish you luck

They are basically a waste of time and money.

Hi, I have to say the mac-shifa cream is very good for acne and if you really want to depigment.
I am sure that the cream contains the real mono because I have some white spots already.

The pills, I was told it would work and after 6 to eight weeks I would see my body having an even skintone. I am very sceptic about that. I am not convinced the pill contains the 2000mg of glutathione, because I was taking the 500mg of jarrows formular of glutathione for a week from and the pill is about the same size. So I am not convinced it contains 2000mg of glutathione. I am not even sure if they contain benoquin, lol

Mac shifa as I said have been very helpful. I would like to share my lightening experience to help desperate people. So they don't fall prey to the sam sites around. I also so wish I could find someone to help me through this process.

Has any one completely depigmented from mono ?

Hi Siona,
How is everything going?. did u see any positive changes or any lightening?
I'm planning to just try the soap first.
I have never tried anything with Monobenzone before so planning to try the soap(monobenzone 20%) and see what happenes.

Hi, My skin is looking very bright, after a lot of peeling and skin tightening, it is kind of patchy, but fair. I am happy with the cream from mac shifa, although Im not sure about the pills as my body is not really lightening, Im using the cream on my face and neck only and the soap on my entire body.

I just advised my friend to buy the soap from them as it is amazing. It does brighten if u use it as a mask.

It is a pain to put this cream on but when I see how white my skin is looing its worth it for me.

It is a long process and u have to follow the program as it is a serious product that u must
Should be the last alternative. If not used correctly and if u buy fake monobenzone it could damage your skin

Take Care

Hi,Nice to hear from you.But can you please tell me what do you mean by "it's kind of PATCHY,but fair"?Is it fair in some areas and your original skin color in some areas or some areas are more lighter than the others?
Do you think this could be due to uneven application of the cream?This is the reason why I'm hesitating in using the cream and would like to try the soap and pills first.Because soap is lighter & easier to apply on the whole skin and would be evenly applied on the skin.And in the same way benoquin would be evenly distributed when ingested in the form of pills.So there won't be uneven skin whitening.
This is what I think but I could be wrong.
Do you apply soap around your eyes and other sensitive araes?Are your eyes,ears ,lips and other areas also lightening/brightening from the soap?
Have you ever thought about repigmentation after depigmentation?How are you going to maintain the results/your white skin?
I'm sorry for so many questions.But I'm really intersted in knowing more about this product because I'm also intersted in using it.So I would apreciate if you answer my questions :)

Hi , It makes your skin so tight and patchy with an even application. Im thinking of using Hq now instead and don't waste your time with the pills. It did not work for me so I don't think they genuine.

I think the pills are toxic , smells like a bad fart when you open them and mix it in water without the capsule coating. Lol

Hope this helps

Hi guys
I found information about MAC-SHIFA and ask about my mail was returned with an answer was very kind to me except that I'm not sure of buying the cream and do not know if I actually send the product they have received my money..
I wonder if actually sent till the country where they are and if an obtained some results
Regards

How is the monobenzone cream working for you?

MAC-SHIFA IS Scam and Fraud company, As a vitiligo patient I had purchased Monobenzone cream. After a usage 2 week my skin starts irritating and became red, and tiny pimple appeared on whole face, skin tone became 2-4 shade dark, it seemed to me that skin burnt. At last it was found that cream contain mercury instead of monobenzone.

Monobenzone is not for skin lightening its only for vitiligo patient.

You can imagine how this company is legit, as all their products are illegal.
Maximum Monobenzone 20% cream is approved for vitiligo patients. How they are selling monobenzone 40% 60% and Pills. My doctor strictly prohibited to buy pill, it will damage your digestive system and major cause is cancer.

In a nice way!Did you get the cream tested,How you no it had mercury in it?The last time I heard that's how monobenzone works you go darker first,If you a vitiligo patient why you did'nt get no prescription from a dermatologist.And monobenzone is a irritating ingredient.And comma sense we no not to put monobenzone in our mouth.

Hi there Siona its Rose here how is your process going.


Please update us.
Thanks.

Anyone else used the mac- shifa monobenzone cream?Anyone?

Hi there yes I have used the Monobenzone 20% on my face and neck it was the 20 grams white tube with the green label and red writing saying benoquin which is available on net as soon as you type ''Buy Monobenzone''. I used it for 14 days (2 weeks) it gave my face and neck a rough and ezcema look I looked like a dead ghost. Everything was fine for 12 days and then on the 13th day started feeling loadz of tightness on my face and neck, and the 14th day I woke up with a red swollen face all itchy. I really looked like a ghost that's been in the grave for a week. I stopped immediately with the advice of Dr. Rahman from Mac-Shifa. I did not buy it from him but I was in contact with him since I received my order Monobenzone cream. I didn't tell him that I was using the cream from else where but I wanted the cream in bulk lots also I was inquiring about the Benoquin Pills from Mac-Shifa. So the 14th day of using the Monobenzone 20% cream I again contacted Dr. Rahman of Mac-Shifa I told him about my dreadfull experience and messed up face and asked for advice of what to do, he suggested to use Almond Oil, eat eggs and drink cold milk to clear up the mess. Its working perfectly ' since I did use it recently. He Dr. Rahman advised me to reuse the cream from his company after 6 weeks. I asked why did I get this mess? He said because that product was made in India and that it contained: White wax
Mercury 85%
Hydroquinone 4%
Monobenzone Powder 7%
Acetyl Alcohol
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
propylene Glycol
Destilated Water

AND MAC-SHIFA Contains: White Wax
Pharmaceutical Grade Almond, olive and castor Oil (will reduce SEVERE spotting)
Milksolids (will make the skin smooth and stimulates the collagen strength).
Saffron (= a Natural Skin Lightening ingredient as well)
Turmeric (= a Natural Skin Lightening ingredient + an antiseptic ingredient as well)
Tocopherol (=Vitamin E, keeps the skin young and reduces wrinkles with 25%)
Octinoxate (= a strong sun-filter)
Acetyl alcohol
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Propylene Glycol
destilated water

But I can only know after using there products.
So no I haven't tried Mac-Sifa products.
Just shared my experience.
Thanks Rose.

Hi siona, there were some questions I wanted to ask you. Can you please help me out? Please do tell me how your process is going. Also, how do you apply monobenzone to your whole body? I mean, If you apply it to your face, for instance wouldn't it depigment your eyebrows and your facial hair?

Rose786, have you seen any lightening?

Do not buy products from Mac Shifa, the dates on the packing are adulterated.

I ordered in March 2012, got the goods in in April 2012 but I was shocked when I saw the dates on the box

Mfg Date: 08/2012
Exp Date:08/2016


My concern is how can Mac Shifa manufacture before date (Mfg Date 08/2012), are they in the future?

I have reported to FDA, and am waiting for a reply.

Shortly I will upload a video on YouTube

JanceyCh, I know you from Fairnglow, you're trying to put that company from Ireland in a bad daylight, even I'm ordering from them just like others BUT never saw any adulterated dates on their packings, please stop those politics here, we need authentic products NOT from your fake site fairnglow, received from you a nightcream jar from ''HIMALIYA''with mercury, and you were claiming it is monobenzone in it, now that's actually something I have to report to the FDA. Bye the way your customer service sucks!!
Remember Mrs. Astrid from Brussel

The issue is that for most people they are buying these medications illegally since they require a doctors prescription, how could anyone trust any company who disregards the laws.

In most cases there products would not be high quality, and in other cases at best they are not consistent in quality.

MAC SHIFA is FAKE

Mac Shifa are not a manufactures, they buy from Mac Pharmaceuticals and just stick a sticker on the tubes and adulterate the expiry dates

KLM710104218 manufacturing license code does not exist

THEY ARE NOT FAKE, the cream I got from them is very good, great results. T

Stay away from that mac monobenzone cream in india, it will make you very dark and destroy your skin. I have a bunch of tubes from india to throw away
It damaged my friends skin.

Just explain if a company is fake, how can MAC-SHIFA be registered in Europe?? How can they supply the Hospitals and Vitiligo Research Centers?? If they are Fake how come their products are REALLY working?? Code 218 is a fact of pure raw materials and the code 218 shows certification as well, so now explain why your FAKE website is using MAC-SHIFA'S name and stickers on those FAKE and crap Mono. From India?? Are you trying to to sell again on the back of reliable european manufactures?? Try to sell your BS somewere else, everybody knows you're the Fairnglow seller trying to sell and promote your crap stuff here. Those tubes you are showing are NOT from MAC-SHIFA!! You are using MAC-SHIFA Stickers on Indian Mono?? That's SICK!!
Those Indian Mono. Creams will destroy / disfigure your skin, and a sticker on your box will NOT change that !

What are you trying to sell here, these are NOT the tubes of MAC-SHIFA your link is linked to Fairnglow!!
These tubes are NOT sold by MAC-SHIFA these are here below the tubes from MAC-SHIFA:

The tubes on this pic are made by ICN pharmaceuticals inc. which also known as Valeant pharmaceuticals it's a reputed American company
That STOPPED producing Benoquin tubes many many years ago.
It's exactly the same case with MAC pharmaceuticals from India - their tubes looks like this:
http://www.accessoria.biz/aba_at_alibaba/mac_benoquin.jpg

NOW BOTH PRODUCTS WERE GOOD - BUT YOU CAN NOT GET IT ANYMORE
And if you find these type of tubes, they are probably out of date medication (Expired) - useless that may be even dangerous.

As for this "company" called "MAC shifa ICN Monobenzone" it's pretty obvious some kid stands behind this crap
He stole the names "ICN" and "MAC" stole some pics and photoshoped them


http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/108650073/MAC_SHIFA_ICN_Monobenzone_creams_and_Lotion.jpg

http://monobenzone.en.ecplaza.net/logo.jpg

http://zvito.com/upload/normal/P/PURE_CERTIFIED_Monobenzone__Benoquin_Products_-_Woodstock_-_Health_-_Beauty_4.jpeg

This person with stupid and useless products like "monobenzone soap" "benoquin monobenzone pill" presents himself as "Dr. Khan Rahman"
And promotes himself in disguise in forums like this or on free platform business sites like "Alibaba" or "Tradekey"
Be aware stay away.

The only way to find pure Monobenzone is by purchasing the raw powder from reputed chemical companies like "Sigma Alderich"
And to compound it by yourself.

MAC pharmaceuticals from India still manufacture Benoquin Monobenzone 20% Cream , I bought and just few days back received my order from buy1free1.com the tubes are manufactured Jan 2012 & expiry 2014, I called Mac pharmaceuticals and they confirmed that the tubes are genuine.

Further I checked & verified that Mac pharmaceuticals (India) manufacturing license is valid, so I feel it is sage to use.

Mac Shifa is Fake ##BEWARE##

YES you are right ICN pharmaceuticals inc. which also known as Valeant pharmaceuticals it's a reputed American company that STOPPED producing Benoquin tubes many many years ago, but MAC pharmaceuticals from India still manufacture Benoquin Monobenzone 20%, I have contacted them and verified they are genuine & hold a Valid license

wantolight where did you get your monobenzone powder?
It seems from what you said ( crystals left over ) that you got the real thing
However compounding can be really tricky - but possible I can teach you how to compound you really don't need me as your seller

20% Monobenzone, 400 grams compound.

Tools:
Pot
Blender

Ingredients:
8 table spoons of Monobenzone powder
300-320 grams of basis cream

1
Pour the monobenzone powder into your pot, add 3 tablespoons of your basis cream

2
Set on fire, stir your mixture until you see all the crystles dissolved with the cream
In the end you should get browny-offwhite boiling liquid

3
Pour your boiling liquid into your blender, add some water and blend for 5 min.
Then add the rest of your basis cream blend for more 5 min and you're done.

And again from your description of the process you made, it seems you got the real thing.
Blender is the missing link in your method

20% Monobenzone, 400 grams compound.

Tools:
Pot
Blender

Ingredients:
8 table spoons of Monobenzone powder
300-320 grams of basis cream

1
Pour the monobenzone powder into your pot, add 3 tablespoons of your basis cream

2
Set on fire, stir your mixture until you see all the crystles dissolved with the cream
In the end you should get browny-offwhite boiling liquid

3
Pour your boiling liquid into your blender, add some water and blend for 5 min.
Then add the rest of your basis cream blend for more 5 min and you're done.

To Sara

I thought monobenzone needs to be dissolved by solvent such as alcohol or hand santilizer, but your formula hasn't mentioned?

Sorry my powder was bought from a Chinese supplier but it was sent from india , so I think I still don't get the right powder? Would you mind telling me where you get yours? And how do you wash and clean the pot and blender? Will you still use the pot to cook?

Every basis cream contains solvents such as propylene glycol - that with the heating process works great.
