Treatment Summary
Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening product found in some over-the-counter products. It is used to treat discoloration on the skin caused by melasma, freckles, sunspots, and other conditions. It is often combined with other agents such as alpha-hydroxy acids, corticosteroids, retinoids, or sunscreen. However, due to possible side effects such as irritation, discoloration, and carcinogenicity, hydroquinone has been banned in the EU and UK.
