    Yes, I read some really good documents about deoxy arbutin, it seems to be very promising and has been out for some time now. Have you ever used this Canuguesswhoiam?

    No form of Arbutin provides depigmentation. They're all tyrosinase inhibitors, and Monobenzone seems to be the only true depigmenter at this point alongside other vitiligo-inflicted remedies such as Mequinol.

    No, I wouldn't use it to depig as I know it can not do that. But it's known to be a good lightener and suppose to be "10x more effective than hydroquinone, 150x more than arbutin, and 350x more than kojic acid". And dA being less cytotoxic, along with other good qualities, is a plus.

    So I would say yes to mequinol as well that has the ability to also depig when used at 20%.
