Why Buy Monobenzone Cream from monobenzone.shop?
Since Benoquin was discontinued by Valeant Pharmaceuticals, American vitiligo patients have had no reliable domestic source for monobenzone cream. US compounding pharmacies can prepare monobenzone but charge $150-400+ per tube. We supply the same pharmaceutical-grade monobenzone cream manufactured by Behvazan Pharmaceutical Co. for just $12-20 per tube — saving you $100-380 per order.

Benoquin Discontinued in USA — What Are Your Options?
Benoquin cream (monobenzone 20%) was FDA-approved since 1952 for permanent depigmentation in extensive vitiligo. When Valeant Pharmaceuticals discontinued it, thousands of American vitiligo patients were left without access to their prescribed treatment.
Your options in the USA today:
- US compounding pharmacy — legal but costs $150-300+ per tube and requires a prescription
- International suppliers like monobenzone.shop — pharmaceutical-grade monobenzone from $12, ships directly to your address via UPS in 5-8 days

Is It Legal to Import Monobenzone to the USA?
The US FDA has a personal importation policy that generally permits Americans to import pharmaceutical products for personal use (typically a 3-month supply or less) when the product is not available domestically and poses no unreasonable risk. Since Benoquin was discontinued and monobenzone is difficult to obtain domestically at reasonable cost, many US vitiligo patients import it via international suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions — USA
How Monobenzone Cream Works for Vitiligo
Monobenzone (MBEH — monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone) is the only FDA-approved treatment for permanent depigmentation in extensive vitiligo. It works through two proven mechanisms:
Monobenzone is oxidized by tyrosinase inside melanocytes, generating reactive quinone free radicals that permanently destroy the pigment-producing cells.
Simultaneously blocks the key enzyme responsible for melanin production, stopping new pigment from forming while destroying existing melanocytes.
The result is gradual, permanent lightening of treated skin areas to match the natural white of vitiligo patches — creating a uniform skin appearance. Unlike hydroquinone which only temporarily suppresses pigment, monobenzone's effect is irreversible because it permanently destroys melanocytes.
Who Should Use Monobenzone Cream?
According to dermatological guidelines, monobenzone cream is appropriate for:
- Patients with vitiligo affecting more than 50% of body surface area
- Patients for whom repigmentation therapy (steroids, tacrolimus, NB-UVB, PUVA) has failed over 12+ months
- Patients who have made an informed, permanent decision about depigmentation
- Adults under care of a qualified US dermatologist
Monobenzone Results Timeline — What to Expect
Based on the peer-reviewed clinical study (PMC3533321) and documented patient outcomes:
Cream is working at the cellular level. Melanocytes are being damaged. No visible lightening but the process has started. Skin may show mild redness — this is normal.
Treated areas begin to show gradual lightening. Most patients notice the first visible before-and-after difference during this phase.
Most dramatic transformation occurs. Treated skin progressively lightens toward the natural white of vitiligo patches. Clinical study documented "extremely satisfactory" results by month 3.5.
Complete, permanent depigmentation of treated areas. Results confirmed stable at 3-year follow-up in clinical study. Lifelong SPF 50+ sunscreen required from this point.
Monobenzone Side Effects — What US Patients Should Know
Monobenzone has a well-established safety profile with FDA approval since 1952. Known side effects:
| Side Effect | Frequency | Management |
|---|---|---|
| Skin irritation, redness, itching | Common (30–50%) | Reduce frequency to once daily; apply 0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate to soothe |
| Contact dermatitis | Uncommon (5–10%) | Stop use temporarily; patch test before resuming; consult dermatologist |
| Increased sun sensitivity | Permanent (100%) | Lifelong SPF 50+ sunscreen mandatory on all treated areas |
| Depigmentation beyond treated area | Possible | Apply carefully only to intended areas; wash hands thoroughly after each use |
| Exogenous ochronosis | Rare | Blue-black discoloration — stop use and consult dermatologist immediately |
Most side effects are manageable. The most important long-term consideration is permanent sun sensitivity — depigmented skin lacks melanin UV protection permanently and requires daily SPF 50+ application for life.
Finding a US Dermatologist for Monobenzone Treatment
For best results, American vitiligo patients should work with a board-certified US dermatologist who can supervise monobenzone therapy. Resources for finding a vitiligo specialist in the USA:
- American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) — aad.org/public/find-a-derm — Find a board-certified dermatologist near you
- Vitiligo Support International — vitiligosupport.org — Patient support and doctor referrals
- Global Vitiligo Foundation — globalvitiligofoundation.org — Research, education and specialist directory
Many US dermatologists are familiar with monobenzone therapy and can advise on treatment protocol, monitor progress, and manage side effects. We can also provide a Certificate of Analysis and product documentation for your dermatologist upon request.
