Can I use monobenzone for permanently lightening the skin around my eyes?

I have very dark skin around my eyes due to natural hereditary pigmentation and I want to lighten the skin there permanently even if just by a little. can I use small amount of monobenzone for short period of time to have a moderate/slight permanent whitening of the skin around my eyes without having exaggerated whitening?, I don't want to have a completely white skin there, just less dark.
