Hydroquinone is prescribed for lightening hyperpigmentation on the skin due to aging, sun damage, injury, melasma, and hormonal changes like pregnancy.

Hydroquinone blocks the body’s process of producing melanin, the substance that creates dark pigment in the skin from sun exposure. With less melanin production, dark spots on the skin are reduced.

Hydroquinone cream is available in 2% over-the-counter and in 4% strength by prescription only.

Hydroquinone cream should be applied to the affected skin area twice a day, or as directed by a medical professional.

Lightening of the skin from hydroquinone cream should be noticeable within 4 weeks of treatment. Within 3 months of treatment, results from hydroquinone cream should be obvious.

Yes, tretinoin and hydroquinone can be used together to treat hyperpigmentation. Always follow the directions of a medical professional when combining medications.

Hydroquinone cream is not available over the counter. RedBox Rx offers hydroquinone 4% cream, which requires a prescription.

If you miss an application of hydroquinone cream you can apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next dose, just skip the missed dose and continue the regiment as prescribed. Do not double up on a dose.

Hydroquinone is considered safe if used as prescribed.
