Hydroquinone Cream 4 Eqinon

Hydroquinone Cream 4 Eqinon

Hydroquinone cream 4 Eqinon is used to lighten the dark patches of skin (also called hyperpigmentation, melasma, liver spots, age spots, freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin.

This medicine works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discoloration.

Hydroquinone, a tyrosinase inhibitor, in a 4% cream can be used safely twice daily for up to 6 months to treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The efficacy of this treatment can be enhanced by using a retinoid nightly and a mid-potent steroid, which is applied twice daily for 2 weeks, then at weekends only.

When I will see result from Hydroquinone Cream 4 Eqinon

When using hydroquinone, patients should not expect to see drastic results right away.

It can take approximately 4-6 weeks of daily (or even twice daily) hydroquinone application before dark spots will begin to fade.

After 8-12 weeks, optimal results should appear and overall skin tone will become more even.
