I thought once you started that's it!! No going back!! Because if you stop the parts that lightened won't repigment and your stuck with two toned skin.
I thought it was all or nothing cream!! That's why I never touched the stuff.
If you do not have vitiligo naturally, then it is more than likely that the color will come back if you quit using benoquin. This is because the body's pigment cells will keep making the color.
I remember on depig.com a few people who had used mono had followed up with benzl arbutin to maintain their light color since they wanted to quit with mono. I have no clue what is in benzl, but it was really working for some people.
So once you start depigmenting, you have to keep using the cream for upkeep. If you do really have vitiligo, the body destroys the pigment cells and helps the depigmentation process along and the color is less likely to come back.
