How Monobenzone 40% Cream works?
Monobenzone 40% cream (monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone) that causes destruction of remaining melanocytes. Monobenzone also reduces the tyrosine enzyme that is involved in the production of melanin. As the amount of melanin produced decreases the areas of normal skin gradually lighten to match the white patches and thus forms uniform white skin. Although the exact mechanism of action of depigmentation is unknown, the metabolites of monobenzone appear to have a cytotoxic effect on melanocytes. Furthermore, the depigmentation effect might be mediated through the inhibition of tyrosinase, which is essential in the synthesis of melanin pigments, thereby causing permanent depigmentation of the skin.
How to Use it?

Monobenzone effects on vitligo
Benoquin cream contains monobenzone a chemical that is used to treat vitiligo, a skin condition in which irregular patches of skin lose colour and become whitened, due to destruction of the pigment producing cells called melanocytes. Monobenzone in Benoquin cream is used for depigmentation of the skin and works by causing destruction of remaining melanocytes and by inhibiting the tyrosine enzyme that is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to the skin. As the amount of melanin produced decreases, the areas of normal skin gradually lighten to match the patches of vitiliginous paler skin. Decolouration of the skin using Benoquin cream is permanent and makes the skin sensitive to sunburn.
