I have now started 20% monobenzone for my skin bleaching, since I hate my skin and want to be white like milk. My skin colour sits around Fitzpatrick 3, light to medium. My protocol is as follows:
BENOQUIN cream once AM, once PM. So twice in a day, on face and neck.
TRETINOIN 0.05% on face and neck in PM, 25 mins after BENOQUIN application.
Other than that, I am now using a really gentle cleanser, moisturiser. And of course, a spf 60 ++++ tinted sunscreen. I am also using this rice water oil based cleanser for spf removal in the evening.
It has been 5 days of me doing this protocol. Applying the benoquin is stinging like hell but only for 2-3 mins, same with the sunscreen. Application of tretinoin and moisturiser has mild stinging, though spf application also stings quite a bit for 2-3 mins. The stinging happens only on my cheekbone and under-eye area.
So far I understand that I am giving myself chemically induced vitiligo, and effectively am going to kill all melanocytes in my skin, and become really vulnerable to the sun. I have also accepted that it will be a somwhat long journey, and I will end up kinda looksminned for a while as well due to the vitiligo I am giving myself. An arrow must be slung back to be shot far after all.
I will document my own journey and post updates as I see fit. I have done quite a bit of research on this method and if anyone is interested, they may contact me or comment under this post and I will be sure to reply, only if I am certain that my information is correct. I will probably not post photos of my face, but might post a little skin here and there to show the changes if they reliably occur.
I will soon add my inner forearms and maybe full forearms in about a month, once I see some patches or depigmentation occuring on my face and neck.
For now, my main goal is to get my immune system to start attacking the melanocytes, and I hope to achieve this by using monobenzone on areas with thinner skin, as I am doing now.
Also, anyone hoping to start this, you need to have conviction and trust, and must stay consistent with this, I have read some anecdotes on the internet and this can be really demotivating and tedious due to it causing vitiligo, which looksmins you for a while, and also it can end up not working at all if you're too black (Fitzpatrick 4 dark - Fitzpatrick 5 and beyond).
Any people with experience and advice, kindly help me with any information and advice you may have.
@Tigermoggerlol I have mentioned you out of principle as you're the main skin bleach erudite here, please share your advice as well.
I had wanted to do this for a long time, and seeing that @Wiqfi started depigmentation swell, I also found the courage to research this, and have started my protocol.
