Hydroquinone is used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and melasma.

Hyperpigmentated skin conditions

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are in the affected area.

Hydroquinone works by inhibiting melanin production in the skin, primarily through the reversible inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is crucial for melanin synthesis. This leads to a gradual lightening of hyperpigmented skin areas.
