Description
Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent commonly used in topical skincare products
to treat hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and melasma. It works by inhibiting the
activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. Hydroquinone is
considered effective, but its use is sometimes controversial due to potential side
effects, including skin irritation and long-term safety concerns. In some regions, it
may be available only with a prescription. It’s crucial to use hydroquinone products
as directed and under the guidance of a healthcare professional to minimize
potential risks.
