Information About Hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent commonly used in dermatology to treat hyperpigmentation and dark patches on the skin. It falls under the class of topical depigmenting agents and works by decreasing the formation of melanin in the skin. Hydroquinone is often recommended for conditions such as melasma, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Find affordable Hydroquinone options from trusted brands at DoctorOnCall.

Uses of Hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is primarily used to reduce the appearance of dark patches, melasma, freckles, and sunspots by lightening areas of discoloured skin. It is suitable for individuals dealing with uneven skin tone or pigmentation concerns. Buy Hydroquinone online in Malaysia to treat stubborn pigmentation safely and effectively.

How Hydroquinone Works

Hydroquinone works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin—the pigment that gives colour to the skin. By reducing melanin production at the cellular level, it helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone over time.
