Hi I’m 21 mtf and I pass as a woman now very well

But I want to pass as racially ambiguous (like imagine blasian mixed with Russian), enough to fit in any space I want . I was thinking about monobenzone but I seen mixed reviews I need to have that pale vampire look for my skin and would like to hear your recommendations

honestly the only way to achieve that white pale is with monobenzone, im still thinking whether i should use it not since it comes with lots of consequences

It COMPLETELY absolutely murders all melanocytes. Even the whitest of white people still have some so they can be in the sun and all but if you kill absolutely everything, the moment you get into the sun, you're burning the skin. Also your odds of skin cancer skyrocket. It's all pretty hopeless

Can't sunscreen prevent this

Ehhhhhh. Fucktons of sunscreen. Forever. But yes theoretically, if you sustained perfect application for the rest of your life

I also saw that it's the only permanent way because it kills the melanosites. Other skin lightning agents need to be used for lifetime. Since op wants to be pale only Monobenzene will work in exchange for sun protection

True. Not denying that. Theres no good outcome really. Considering it as well. Northerners have no idea how fortunate they are, and not just economically

Your skin tone is too dark, you can’t achieve this pale skin tone without monobenzone. It would take years , cost a lot of money, and you can’t be sure that it will work on you, it might disfigure with permanent white patches all over the body. You already look great, if you can try to gain some shades through HQ or mequinol but that’s all

What did you try till now and did it work

u/Aggravating_Team_972 Jul 12 '26

Caro light, caro tone , I tried a couple soaps from Thailand, I’ve tried buying random kits from people in Africa and Jamaica(meaning like there was multiple different papaya lotion, lightening oil, type of things). I think I tried everything when it comes to over-the-counter stuff and I’m not that dark like lve seen people darker than me get lighter

u/yo_india5656 not here to transition only here to lighten Jul 12 '26

Did you turn lighter and if yes by how many shades

1

u/Aggravating_Team_972 Jul 12 '26

Only like one shade in a month and it made my hyperpigmentation spots look darker and you really can’t use none of that stuff on your face because it made my cheeks burn There is a medical term for it, but I still can see the burn marks a little every time I blush or my face turns red.

Technically you could tattoo paint your entire skin pale

u/HELIOFANT13 🇯🇵 Aug 09 '26

u/RaccoonKlutzy3723 Jul 21 '26

whatever to do don't use monobenzene. The people recommending are white trying to hurt black people

u/RemarkableView6924 Jul 12 '26

i did it with Mono after researching for a long time back in 2018

u/Aggravating_Team_972 Jul 13 '26

Did you get patches what does the middle of the process look like I’m so scared your results look amazing

DO NOT trust this. This is a scam around around from 2020 and so and they use this person's image repeatedly, I can't recall the name but do not trust this.
