Dear Sir/Mam
My question is that - Can I use monobenzone or mequinol to whiten complexion. I know it's possible as one of my friends did it. But it is not available without prescription. Any help will be appreciated. I also heard that hydroquinone cream also helps but at more than 6% concentration. Thank You

-Monobenzone as you asked for the prescription is not possible
- it might be useful in some instances but not for all time
- It has many side effects if used without a proper indication
- there are many other composition which might help you
- hydroquinone is safer and effective if used in caution with a proper consultation
