Description
Key Ingredients:
Monobenzone USP, 20% w/w Monobenzone is a monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone that works as a depigmenting agent.
It works by permanently killing melanocytes, resulting in the loss of melanin synthesis in the skin.
This results in progressive but irreversible depigmentation, allowing people with vitiligo to have a more consistent and even appearance across all affected areas.
How It Works:
Monobenzone operates as follows:
Tyrosinase, an enzyme necessary for melanin production, is inhibited.
Melanocytes, which produce pigment in the skin, are destroyed.
Promoting even depigmentation and achieving a uniform appearance by lightening the residual pigmented areas to match the vitiliginous skin.
Unlike skin brightening or bleaching chemicals, Monobenzone has long-lasting benefits and is specifically designed for people suffering from severe or widespread pigment loss due to vitiligo.
Indications:
Uniqueen Monobenzone Cream USP 20% is intended for:
Extensive vitiligo that covers more than half of the body surface.
Patients who have not responded effectively to re-pigmentation treatments (such as corticosteroids or phototherapy).
Individuals wanting total skin depigmentation to achieve uniformity and cosmetic balance.
How To Use:
Clean the Area: Before applying the cream, properly cleanse and dry the skin.
Apply Thinly: Using a tiny amount of cream, apply a thin coating to the pigmented regions.
Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) every day. Depigmented skin is extremely susceptible to sunlight and injury.
Patience is key. Visible improvements may appear within 1-3 months, with total depigmentation possible after 6-12 months of persistent use.
Benefits:
Pigmented patches are gradually lightened to match the vitiligo-affected skin.
Promotes an even and consistent skin tone.
Increases self-confidence in people with noticeable pigmentary contrast.
Micronised, smooth-texture composition improves skin penetration and patient comfort.
Precautions:
Do not use as a cosmetic skin whitener in those without vitiligo.
Avoid making touch with mucous membranes (eyes, nose, and mouth) or broken skin.
Before proceeding with the complete application, perform a patch test to rule out sensitivity or allergic reactions.
Avoid sunbeds and excessive sun exposure during and after therapy.
Storage instructions:
Store in a cool, dry location (ideally below 25°C).
After each usage, make sure the tube is properly sealed.
Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Uniqueen Monobenzone Cream USP 20% in a 30g container is a reliable, effective option for patients with significant vitiligo who want full-body depigmentation.
