Almost anything you can think of these days is sold online. It's important to do your research and make sure you are buying from a reliable company. How do you know that the monobenzone you are buying is the real deal? Unless your a pharmacist - you won't really know until you have seen real monobenzone powder and can compare.
Monobenzone powder is an off white crystal powder that has a slight shimmer to it. Up close it looks like fine needles and comes in a variety of packaging. Only laboratories and pharmacies can compound monobenzone cream and will usually need a prescription from your doctor.
If you suffer from vitiligo and need 20% monobenzone/benoquin cream formulated for you; you can either go to a local pharmacy or an reliable online pharmaceutical company. Always discuss the treatment option with your doctor so that they may keep an eye on your progress.
Monobenzone is a serious treatment and should not be taken lightly. Once you start using monobenzone cream you cannot stop otherwise your skin will look patchy and uneven. It will help to complete the depigmentation process quicker.
It can get expensive to continue to purchase monobenzone, but it is the only permanent solution to full depigment that skin. Many insurance companies also refuse to cover prescriptions for monobenzone/benoquin cream because they feel that it is cosmetic.
We disagree with this notion because it can have huge physcological and physical toll on vitiligo patients and their families. It's better to get treatment soon than later and you may also want to look at the option to repigment the skin to go back to your natural skin tone instead of depigmenting.
