What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone is the clinical gold standard for hyperpigmentation in melasma. It acts as a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis in melanocytes. By blocking tyrosinase activity, it decreases the production and accelerates the degradation of melanosomes.

Formulations evaluated by Hi-Doctor clinicians

  • Hydroquinone 4% cream (HQUIN): A standard first-line topical treatment applied thinly to pigmented areas at night.
  • Hydroquinone 4% gel (Licoforte): A lightweight formulation suited for oilier skin types or humid conditions.
  • Compounded melasma formula: Hydroquinone 4% + tretinoin 0.025% + kojic acid 2% + niacinamide 4%, combining tyrosinase inhibition with accelerated cell turnover and anti-inflammatory support.

Depigmentation is not instantaneous. Visible lightening typically requires 8 to 12 weeks of consistent nocturnal application. Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 50+ is mandatory; without blocking UV and visible light (preferably using tinted sunscreens containing iron oxides), melasma will quickly relapse.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical Hydroquinone is effective but requires clinical supervision. To prevent complications, treatments are prescribed in defined cycles (usually 3 to 4 months) rather than indefinite continuous use.

  • Expected mild reactions: Mild erythema, transient stinging, localized dryness, or slight peeling during the initial weeks.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis: Intense burning, severe swelling, or vesicular eruptions. If these occur, discontinue use immediately.
  • Exogenous ochronosis: A rare blue-black pigmentation that can develop if high-concentration hydroquinone is used continuously over extended periods without medical breaks.
