It is important to notice that the skin will not go back to its original color after the none treatment of mequinol.

A common formulation for this drug is an ethanolic solution of 2% Mequinol and 0.01% tretinoin by mass.

Both monobenzone and mequinol produce dramatic skin whitening, but react very differently.

It is not known to what extent mequinol and/or tretinoin is excreted in human milk.

An alternate method of lightening is to use the chemical mequinol over an extended period of time.

As a topical drug Mequinol is often mixed with tretinoin, a topical retinoid.

Lower dosages of mequinol have been used in conjunction with a Q-switched laser to depigment skin in patients with disseminated idiopathic vitiligo.

In cases of extensive vitiligo the option to de-pigment the unaffected skin with topical drugs like monobenzone, mequinol, or hydroquinone may be considered to render the skin an even colour.

Mequinol should not be used by people that are allergic to any ingredient in mequinol, if you are pregnant, if you have eczema, irritated or inflamed skin, an increased number of white blood cells or if you are sensitive to sunlight or must be outside for prolonged periods of time.
