How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Acquiring a clinical assessment is entirely asynchronous. You do not need an appointment, phone call, or video consultation.
- Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer focused questions regarding your skin type, previous pigmentation treatments, and overall medical background.
- Upload clear skin photographs: Provide high-resolution images of the affected areas so the doctor can evaluate the distribution and depth of your pigmentation.
- Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor evaluates your case. If treatment is clinically appropriate, the doctor issues a private REMPE prescription in under 24 hours. If the doctor does not issue a prescription, the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full.
- Present your prescription: Download the signed REMPE PDF from your secure account and present it at a local pharmacy in Ourense or elsewhere in the EU, where the pharmacist may dispense the product.
Who qualifies
To qualify to get Hydroquinone online, you must be an adult resident in the EU dealing with diagnosed or suspected epidermal or mixed melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or solar lentigines. Topical hydroquinone is suitable for mild-to-moderate localised hyperpigmentation.
- Eligible candidates: Adults with stable facial hyperpigmentation who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no history of hypersensitivity to depigmenting agents.
- Out-of-scope conditions: Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring dermatological conditions, as well as undiagnosed skin lesions or suspected malignancies, require in-person clinical biopsy and are referred to in-person care. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics online.
What Hydroquinone actually does
Hydroquinone is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor. Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for converting L-tyrosine into melanin within melanocytes. By blocking this pathway, hydroquinone reduces the production of new pigment while existing pigment gradually sheds through natural epidermal turnover.
Depending on clinical suitability, our doctors may prescribe:
- Hydroquinone 4% cream (HQUIN) or Hydroquinone 4% gel (Licoforte): Standard monotherapy applied once daily at night.
- Compounded melasma formula: Hydroquinone 4% combined with tretinoin 0.025%, kojic acid 2%, and niacinamide 4% to accelerate cellular turnover and enhance pigment reduction.
Visible lightening typically begins within 4 to 8 weeks, with peak response occurring between weeks 8 and 12. Depigmenting therapies are prescribed in defined cycles rather than indefinite use. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ photoprotection—ideally tinted with iron oxides to block visible light—is mandatory, as unprotected UV exposure causes immediate melasma relapse.
Side effects and when to stop
Most patients experience mild, localized skin adjustments during the initial weeks of therapy.
- Common reactions: Mild erythema, peeling, localized dryness, and temporary stinging at the application site.
- Rare adverse events: Exogenous ochronosis (a soot-like bluish-black discoloration) is a rare complication linked to prolonged, unmonitored use over many months.
- When to stop: Discontinue application immediately and contact a healthcare professional if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense swelling, blistering, or spreading dark discoloration.
