Key Benefits & Medical Uses

Permanent Depigmentation Therapy

Monobenzone 40% Cream is strictly indicated for individuals with disseminated vitiligo, typically affecting more than 50% of the body surface area. It is used to permanently lighten remaining pigmented skin so it matches existing depigmented (white) areas.

High-Strength Formula

The 40% concentration offers enhanced potency and is commonly reserved for:

• Resistant vitiligo cases

• Areas with thicker skin such as hands, arms, and legs

• Patients requiring faster or stronger depigmenting action

How Monobenzone 40% Works

Monobenzone accelerates the elimination of melanin from skin cells and leads to the permanent destruction of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells. Continued use results in irreversible depigmentation, creating a more uniform skin tone.

Application Guidelines

• Dosage: Apply a thin layer to normally pigmented skin 2–3 times daily, or as directed by a dermatologist

• Results Timeline:

  • Initial changes: 2–6 weeks

  • Complete depigmentation: 4–12 months with consistent use

• Maintenance Therapy: After achieving uniform skin color, application may be reduced to twice weekly to maintain results
