Monobenzone, also known as 4-Benzyloxyphenol or MBEH, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C13H12O2. It is a skin-bleaching agent that is used as a topical medication for depigmentation purposes. Monobenzone works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, thus causing a lightening effect. It is used in the treatment of conditions such as hyperpigmentation and has been studied for its potential in treating vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation.
