💡 Quick Answer — What is Benoquin Cream?
Benoquin Cream contains monobenzone 20% — a topical depigmenting agent (irreversible) for extensive vitiligo (involving >50% body-surface area) where complete depigmentation is the chosen management strategy. Apply 2–3 times daily to remaining pigmented areas. Strict daily SPF 30+. Onset of depigmentation: 1–4 months; complete depigmentation typically 9–12 months. Monobenzone causes IRREVERSIBLE permanent depigmentation — both treated and distant skin can become permanently pale. This is a one-way decision; do not confuse with reversible depigmenting agents like hydroquinone.

What Benoquin Cream is and how it works
Benoquin Cream contains monobenzone 20%. Monobenzone (monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone) is a depigmenting agent that selectively destroys melanocytes — the cells that produce skin pigment. Unlike hydroquinone, which reversibly inhibits melanin synthesis, monobenzone permanently kills melanocytes through both topical and distant immune-mediated mechanisms. Treated areas lose pigmentation over months, but pigment can also be lost in distant untreated areas (paradoxical depigmentation). Manufacturer: WHO-GMP certified manufacturer.
⚠️ IRREVERSIBLE permanent depigmentation — Monobenzone is the only intentional irreversible depigmenting agent in dermatology. Once melanocytes are destroyed, they do NOT regenerate. Treated skin becomes permanently white/pink. Distant untreated skin can also lose pigment unpredictably. Use ONLY for extensive vitiligo (>50% BSA) where the patient and dermatologist agree that completing depigmentation is preferable to maintaining patchy pigmentation. Never use for melasma, hyperpigmentation, or routine “skin lightening” — irreversible, life-changing decision.
Indications (specialist-only)
- Extensive vitiligo involving >50% body-surface area where repigmentation is impossible and the patient elects depigmentation as the management strategy. Decision must be made jointly with a dermatologist after thorough counselling, and ideally with psychological support.
How to apply (under specialist supervision only)
- Apply 2–3 times daily to remaining pigmented areas.
- Wash hands thoroughly after each application — accidental contact with another person’s skin can transfer the depigmentation.
- Strict daily SPF 30+ broad-spectrum is mandatory — depigmented skin has no UV protection from melanin and is at high lifetime risk of skin cancer.
- Avoid all sun exposure during peak hours (10 am – 4 pm); wear protective clothing, hats, sunglasses.
- Onset: pigment begins fading in 1–4 months; complete depigmentation typically 9–12 months.
- If distant unwanted depigmentation occurs (e.g. on hands when treating face), STOP and consult dermatologist.
Bijwerkingen
- Vaak voorkomend: contact dermatitis at application site (irritation, erythema, peeling).
- Vaak voorkomend: distant depigmentation in untreated areas (paradoxical effect — happens in ~25% of patients).
- Minder vaak: permanent loss of pigment in eyes (uveitis, retinitis), hair loss in treated areas.
- Zeldzaam: halo phenomenon, ochronosis, severe contact allergy.
Lifetime UV protection
Skin treated with monobenzone is permanently devoid of melanin and therefore has no innate UV protection. Lifetime daily SPF 50+ broad-spectrum is mandatory. The risk of squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma is significantly elevated. Annual dermatology screening is recommended.
Contra-indicaties
- Vitiligo affecting <50% body-surface area (where repigmentation is achievable).
- Melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, normal pigmentation desire — these are NOT indications.
- Zwangerschap en borstvoeding.
- Children under 12.
- Hypersensitivity to monobenzone, hydroquinone, or related compounds.
- Active eczema or open skin at application site.
Zwangerschap & borstvoeding
Contraindicated. Monobenzone is absorbed systemically and effects on the foetus and infant are not established. Defer treatment until after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Opslag
Store below 25 °C, away from direct light. Keep tightly closed and out of reach of children.
Veelgestelde vragen
Is monobenzone reversible?
No — monobenzone destroys melanocytes permanently. Treated skin will not repigment; this is a one-way decision.
Can I use Benoquin Cream for melasma?
No, absolutely not. Melasma needs hydroquinone-based treatment (reversible), not melanocyte destruction. Using monobenzone for melasma would cause permanent unwanted depigmentation.
Why does pigment fade in untreated areas too?
Monobenzone triggers an immune response against melanocytes that can affect distant unprotected areas. ~25% of users experience some distant depigmentation. This is a known feature of the drug.
How long until depigmentation is complete?
9–12 months on average. Some areas (face) respond faster than others (hands, feet).
Verandert mijn oogkleur?
No — eye colour is unaffected by monobenzone. The drug acts only on cutaneous melanocytes.
What happens if I stop using Benoquin Cream partway?
You will be left with a patchy intermediate appearance (some pigment lost, some retained). Consult a dermatologist before stopping mid-course.
Can I tan my new pale skin?
No — depigmented skin contains no melanocytes, so it cannot tan. Sun exposure causes burns and skin cancers, not tanning.
Is Benoquin Cream safe to use occasionally?
No — even single applications on small areas can cause permanent local depigmentation and trigger distant immune-mediated depigmentation. There is no “safe occasional” use.
What is the alternative for vitiligo?
Repigmentation strategies for limited vitiligo: topical steroids, topical tacrolimus, narrow-band UVB phototherapy, surgical melanocyte transplant. Depigmentation with monobenzone is reserved for extensive vitiligo where repigmentation is impractical.
Why is psychological support recommended?
Permanent depigmentation is a major irreversible change to appearance, identity, and social interactions. Psychological adjustment can be significant. Specialist vitiligo clinics typically include counselling as part of pre-treatment evaluation.
