Hamid and Lovie, you both have valid opinions on the matter to me as you both are viewing monobenzone from different standpoints. Hamid, you clearly have done your research on MBH as a cosmetic lightening agent and Lovie, you clearly can speak from experience. What does bother me is that there are articles online that show pictures of what may happen if you use MBH for a long period of time. [A carribean girl had been using the cream to lighten her body and it badly disfigured her pigmentation] <----look it up on google--its there; this is not to say that everyone using it will inherit the same outcome but I would like to know the level of risk involved in using something like MBH (i.e. the percentage of people who have experienced abnormal depigmentation vs. the percentage w/ welcomed results).
There are risks and rewards to everything in life and I think it is up to each of us to balance them out for ourselves. Right now you two see each other as good and evil, I think we could all learn enough from both of you to make an intelligent decision on weather not to use MBH. So, that being said who's got their stats?!
P.S. Ease up people, we all make mistakes. I'm an ivy grad and I spell terribly w/o spellcheck. lol
