hi all, i hope this entry finds you well
i will confess to that of which i have said (lol)
i believe monobenzone is the safest chemical for skin change
this includes tyrosinase inhibitors ... and so on
why would i say this?!!
let me give you two examples:
someone from shall we say forum A, used mequinol for four years and is now using b-arbutin (still no data on it, so my maybe naive conclusion doesn't count, but i'm a strong advocate for researched chemicals e.g in vitro vivo studies. if pubmed doesn't know about it (published medications), i for one am not interested if google doesn't link it with depigging too. (wiki is exempt)
anyway
sunbject B from forum C (yes lol, i confused meself, bare with me)
has used mono for four years and is now *depigged* = done, finito
yes, clear of further mono use for good.
but, what about repig spots, brownies or islands of resistant pigment??!
that can be taken care of effectively with spot treatment (more info at dD. not by any means i'd previously been informed by btw. and i don't mean salicylic acid either)
my conclusion comes from longevity
which compound/chemical/substance will do it's purpose in the least amount of time without needing to be binded to/used for life
in short, only monobenzone or *pure* mequinol (i too am confused why it took the guy, ahem lol.. i mean *subject A *so long, but that's besides the point)
which makes more sense?
to use mono for upto four years or another strand of hydroquinone for life
this seems self explanatory to me, i'd rather hit it hard and fast, than adopt a substance into my life indefinitely, lest after quitting i'd like to re-welcome my own tone
doesn't that look wasteful?
say you spend eight years on chemical Q, get to your ideal shade, quit then detox your body
everything's fine
until
you start (whether in a weeks time or months) to repigment
what happens if repigmentation is uneven?
do you then go through another 2 years on chemical Q? or by that time do you decide mono might be the better option so go onto use it for upto four years
by now, you'll have mono plus chemical Q's use in your system within a relatively short timespan and it could mean twelve years of trying with only four effective ones
this is the reason i favour mono
i don't intend to be a vampire forever, i would like to catch some sun (safely) for the remaining time i'm on earth
depigged people can and do enjoy summertimes (albeit with adequate protection)
i've given the why and the reason, hopefully people won't continue to pretend they can't understand
cheers :o)
